The Return (11)

After the movie, Iris wanted to spend a bit more time with her friends, but they were being so awkward that she could only call it off. Maybe if they had a bit more time to think it over they'd grow more comfortable with the idea?

It was unlikely, but who knew. Maybe.

They said their goodbyes, with Luca going all red when Kyro smiled at her, and promised to meet up some other time. The two had classes the next couple days, but after that, they'd be free.

On the way home, Kyro didn't forget to poke fun at how her friends treated him like something else than another human. "Am I really that intimidating?" he wondered aloud.

"Clearly not, or the fox would have run away from home," Iris joked.

"It did that once, didn't it?" Kyro said with a short glance her way as he drove.
