She had faced a reluctance like this only once before, and it was a difficult now as it was then. The Nomad was compelled to stay, to carry on other conversations of the like. She was thrilled to have met another like herself, but wanted more... much, much more.
But against her insatiable want, she remained rooted to the ground and instead offered a smile of understanding. This was but one encounter shared with the Shishen, yet it had been so fulfilling she was already starved for another. Her time within Ichika was limited. Her decision to remain had yet to be made... but this encounter was a positive lean toward permanent residence. She had wanted to meet another like herself and done so, receiving more than she could have hoped for. She received promise, potential... an opportunity she could not ignore. When it came time for the male to bid his farewell, reluctant as she was to see him go, X'yrin was not upset. Rather she was happy knowing this would not be the last time.
Her ears flicked at word of his 'goodbye' whilst raising a parting hand. "We will meet again," she said in confident, reciting the farewell of the Nomads. A Nomad never said 'goodbye', for in due time they would meet the other again til their passing time came. Only to the dead with they share those parting words, and the warrior female was feeling more alive than ever.
[End for X'yrin]
