Niel ruffled his hair roughly. He was frustrated this way. It would be a lie if he didn't see Vrans and Xena's previous closeness in the underground parking area, it would be a lie if he wasn't jealous and felt rivaled.
The feeling that only a few days ago made Niel feel like he had known the girl for years, so he was determined to have. Xena's very cheerful, sociable, and always connected behavior when spoken to, made anyone feel comfortable being around the girl for a long time, as well as Neil who immediately felt comfortable.
Because for Niel, love doesn't need many reasons to come. Whether it's in a short time or an accidental meeting, love can come anytime, anywhere.
