Agreeing to meet Modesty's mother had initially been made due to his interest in learning more about her... faith. That's what he'd prefer to call it at this point. Now that the haze of the festivities antics was bogging down his mind, he followed the chipper girl hesitantly. Late-night drinking and bonfire scents lingered on his own coat as he tried to shake it off. It wouldn't do too well of a first impression if he brought the girl home hungover. Weary as the mud squelched between his toes, his ears perked forward as she called out. Her shoulder bumped against his and his skin bristled for a moment. Not being used to her friendly gestures, his own stomach did somersaults. Still unrecognizing the feelings welling up in his belly, Gil brushed it off as they trekked deeper into the swamp. A friendly animal chittered overhead, making his chin turn upward for a moment. Eyeing it carefully, he kept a distance now, falling a step or two behind Modesty. Her words echoed over the chill of the swamp and his ears fell half backward. A friend? Are we that close now? Gil questioned to himself, still denying the warmth he felt in his cheeks every time she smiled at him. "Are you sure she's here?" He questioned quietly, his own nose touching her side briefly as he eyed their darkening surroundings. |
