Hector looked around and saw a few others staring at them, keeping his head low somewhat, until they were deep in the brush. It was them he took her hand gently and walked off with her, to who knows where. It wasn’t that he was embarrassed about being in love with Persepolis, it was more of him being quite shy. With a quiet sigh once they were a few dozen yards off, he asked considerately “How’s Luna? I guess I owe a lot to her, for getting me to come talk to you.”
Luna didnt respond immediately. Was that really how he was raised? To be cold and emotionless? Perhaps practical, but it undermined the humanity of Alec. He was someone completely else under that sheet of cold. With a gentle voice, Luna responded “Well, from what ive seen you’re a great man. Inside and out.” This time, Luna didn’t blush. She just wanted him to know that she believed Alec was a good person, simply covered in layers of coldness that had to be removed.
Persepolis held Hector's hand, stepping closer to him. She answered thoughtfully, "She's good, I think. She's happy and seems to be enjoying herself, which is good." She added, "I'm glad she talked to you, Hector." She glanced at him, waiting for him to say or do something.
River nodded, her steps not wavering. Quietly, she wondered what he wanted her to see, though she didn't ask, he seemingly didn't want her to know yet, she would know what it was when she saw it.
Luna didn't respond immediately. That had caught her off guard, to be completely honest. After a minute of pondering how to respond, she spoke up, explaining gently "But is that really the person you are? You find joy in killing others? Or is that something of your past that has stuck with you today. Sometimes we need to kill, I've killed before." Her expression was now meeker than before, as she didn't want to infuriate him; she had already seen the disgust in his face.
Hector gave her an appreciative smile, grateful that Luna seemed to be ok. He agreed with her statement, responding in turn, "Me too. I didn't know you liked me like that, but I guess she woke me up a little." He laughed a little for once, at his own blindness regarding the fact that Persepolis had obviously had feelings for him before he approached her.
Xylo came to the edge of a cliff, where he spread his wings and took flight, waiting to see that she followed before they went to the opposite side, landing in a cave that jutted out of the cliff wall; it was a rather peculiar formation, somewhat like a nose to the cliff wall. With a sigh, he took a seat on the edge of the entrance, looking up at the sun which had begun setting. They had made it just in time. He looked over to her, whispering "Wait. You'll see how beautiful it is in a few moments."
Persepolis also gave a little laugh, "Yeah I had a huge crush on you before you asked me out. I guess I was just waiting for you to ask me." She gave his hand a small squeeze, emphasizing her feelings for him. She admitted, "I'm really glad you did, though."
