Liamee and the other Keas that helped her did a wonderful job.
"You all did amazing work," I reply and she smiles before softly taking my hand.
"Did you like anyone last night? You seem... different," she says and I smile.
My cheeks grow warm, and I think back to Modok's green reptile-like eyes.
"Yes, I did. He is a Gaimo Champion," I reply and she beams.
"That's wonderful, Xiu. I am so happy for you," she says before giving me a small hug.
I smile and return the embrace happily. I wish I hadn't been so hard on Liamee. I wish I had accepted her friendship sooner than I did. But maybe we can make up for it after the tournament.
