Numira barely moved before the shout came, alerted almost immediately to his hand getting closer. She knew partially where this was going, etiquette demanded she refused him, common sense was ignored for it tried to argue that she'd known him for less than a day, but the rest of her was stronger, her naivete and belief in Kiernan allowed the touch, the caress to her cheek, so much so that she leaned softly into his hand, smiling at him as he did so. Her eyes glimmered in that instance, the red shifting, swirling softly, though the moment the shout came, the irises became static and focused as she glanced past him.

His insistence on interlinking his fingers with her own was met with her squeezing his hand tightly and smiling at him as they ran together. She wanted to believe that there was the possibility that it could forever be like this, if it wasn't she wanted the moment to stay as it was forever, but she knew in her head that there was the chance that neither could be the case at all. Still, it was a moment she would cherish as she kept at pace with him, giggling a little as she ran, like a naughty child that had pranked a teacher, after all that man was probably a little furious, she hoped at least leaving the token of her cloak to keep him warm meant something.

The more the two ran, the closer she could see the village getting, not to mention she could smell things cooking int he distance as they neared it at just past mid-day. It was a cozy looking place with various kinds of houses and outlying farms visible in grand fields past the forestry they had been running through. In the distance she could see the sun gleaming off a running river whose surface reflected the blue atmosphere perfectly, it was almost like being home. except there was so much more actual nature, not just artificially-controlled ecosystems.
Numira stared out at the view with awe upon her face, hand still gripped tight to Kiernan as she looked out at the people milling about, the smell of cooking high in the air, children playing in the distance, farmers were working their fields, she could hear warm voices yelling to one another, calling their greetings, chatter and laughter. She stood in place still smiling broadly,
"It sounds.. So nice from here.." She struggled to say, not out of breath, but her eyes had watered up slightly, but she quickly wiped at her eyes and grinned at Kiernan, "I want to see!"
