She smiled as he complied and became a bit more docile, and gave him a reassuring pat on his head when he accepted her advice. The nickname did not go unnotice to her, but she didn't mind it much; she called and referred to him as Teme, after all, so there was no room to argue. When she talked about her own situations, though, it became a little harder to keep a smile on her face, and had to force another one on her face. While she wouldn't call herself a liar, she could give off the air that she was impassive when she really wasn't. Not even the mention of Drin having pups cheered her much, but she pretended and succeeded to be happy again. But, as the boy stoked her cheek, she felt deeply comforted, and nodded her thanks. "I know it'll all be okay. It's just difficult."
Talking about it did help, though, and the smile on her didn't have to be forced upon anymore as her mind wandered to the challenge they had set weeks ago. She was beginning to remove her hand, but she felt him push against it, and she lingered for a moment longer before pulling away. The motion itself confused her, but her heart fluttered, as if part of her recognized something that the other half didn't. But, Lena refused to be phased by it, though her fast-paced mind was still paused on that moment, and moved her thoughts back to the matter at hand--the challenge. She wanted patiently as he tied the cloth around his eyes, and cracked a grin when he announced that he was ready, and she backed away a few steps from him, as silent as she could be. From what she guessed, she had put a good couple of meters between her and him, and she was about directly in front of him.
With a mischievous grin on her face, she waited for Temeraire to come near, if he could, and formulated a plan in her mind. Whenever he came close, she would move quietly out of his way--giving him the impression that he was walking in circles, hopefully. So, she prepared herself to move, suppressing a laugh that was tempting to bubble from her mouth.
