"That's fair," Kisara begins thoughtfully. When thinking about it like that, it makes more sense. It's highly unlikely that having a tea together would leave them in the company of others. Maybe they don't have many moments where they can steal away together. It seems one or both of them tend to find themselves in the public eye. It would have been a very complicated situation if he'd asked her such a thing in front of others.
Kisara can't promise she would have handled it as maturely as she'd like to.
Tapping her fingers against the side of her teacup, her smile grows just a touch. Dearly missed, even with the intent to return. Has she truly become so important to him? It's touching. Having spent her life in Menancia, Kisara can't imagine being anywhere else. Maybe in some ways she's become very accustomed to having Dohalim in her life as well. She may no longer be blinded by the past, but it doesn't make him any less important to her.
"You could always just come with me. Although I know how you feel about fishing. You'd probably enjoy the orphanage more."
βI do not have your talent or any particular desire to improve my skill with fishing, itβs true, but I quite enjoy watching you fish,β Dohalim reasons, disinclined to dismiss the idea out of hand. It would be refreshing, in fact, to have an opportunity to step away from Autelina Palace once more— his work here was now as one among many who cared about Menanciaβs future, but after they and their companions had traveled far and wide, it feels a bit more stifling than it used to.
βIβve also yet to see the orphanage with my own eyes, and I would be glad to see the fruits of your labors for myself, as well as offer any aid as I can.β If she had meant the offer in jest, sheβll find that heβs actually considering it quite seriously. βIβve no doubt the council can spare me for a number of days, with things delegated properly.β
