A touching scene was unfolding in the background as blonde Gaia approached Kyn, her dress flowing gracefully in the wind. Gaia noticed a family enjoying their day out. The girl, innocent and inquisitive as she was, felt Gaia's presence and gravitated towards her.
The cute kid walked up to Gaia and offered her the remainder of her ice cream cone. When Gaia saw the girl's kind act, she felt compelled to do something magical in return. She created a magnificent display of the marvels of nature in the form of a bouquet of wildflowers.
The girl's expression changed from one of surprise to one of absolute delight. She held the flowers in wonder, considering Gaia's action to be a miraculous trick that had made her day. The girl hurried back to her parents, pointing back at Gaia and flourishing the bouquet in the air with uncontainable joy.
The pair waved back to Gaia with genuine expressions of gratitude and admiration for her unexpected act of compassion. Gaia returned the gesture with a warm bow of thanks, her love for the earth and its inhabitants shining through in her bright smile.
Watching this touching exchange, Kyn could not help but think Gaia was more stunning than she already was. Her ethereal allure was in her ability to make other people happy and their amazement at the smallest things she did. It served as a constant reminder of her good heart, but then again, it was Gaia.
Flora's green eyes met Kyn's, and she toyed with him as she used her entrancing charm to get closer to him. Standing on her tippy toes, she leaned in and gave him a small peck on his cheek.
"Don't you dare get any funny ideas," warned Kyn; he was already attuned to this side of Gaia's character. Whenever she wanted something, she always tried to smitten him, be it at the bar, in the forest, and now it was at the pier.
"Ooof, and here I thought I was being aloof," she pouted, (>*<)L, "Since you already read me, I want in."
"Want in?" Kyn asked.
"Want in on the adventure? Jasmine can't have you all to herself," she said in a childish manner. Unlike her mature counterpart, Flora was pretty much straightforward.
An unexpected turn in Kyn's already dramatic adventure occurred when it became clear that Flora wanted to come along for the ride to Athens.
Kyn couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation at the prospect of having two Gaia entities with their unique personalities and whims accompanying him. He wondered why he kept getting himself into more and more precarious circumstances.
Attempting to reason with Flora, Kyn brought up her business deals in this era, specifically her involvement in running a fashion clothing line called FVY-Cloth Line. He talked about how the company could not have succeeded without her and how crucial her role was.
"For real, you already have a built reputation at this place; you can't just up and leave," Kyn argued.
Flora, however, was adamant and resolved, so she had previously taken precautions.
"I already talked to 'what's his name', the hotel manager; he'll take up my place. We already owe him a lot," she explained.
As a result, the hotel's owner would temporarily take over management in an attempt to recover any financial losses caused by his team. She seemed certain of her plan, putting Kyn in a difficult position.
Kyn made an effort to make his point, mentioning his concerns about the potential financial impact. Flora, on the other hand, blackmailed him with her persuasive charm and a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Instead, she asked him to pay for Bertha's dramatic winning steak as well as the damage from the tremors* that he caused, leaving him with little to no room to hide.
Kyn groaned, realising that he had fallen victim to Flora's deftly cast spell. Despite his admiration for her zeal and resolve, he recognised that bringing Flora along would only add to the journey's inherent uncertainty.
He thought to himself, "Two hot ladies, a wisp of negativity, and a walking disaster of a tomb raider." What are the chances? I should have stayed a detective.' He accepted Flora's request with a mix of resignation and intrigue, knowing that having her by his side would make their experiences even more remarkable.
Flora ultimately won the case thanks to her charming persuasion and tenacious argumentation, which earned her a spot in their travelling party to Athens. She felt satisfied that she had accomplished what she had set out to do, and it was impossible for her not to smile triumphantly.
However, as Kyn gave in to her demand, he could not ignore her light-hearted blackmail any longer, and so he called her out on it. Thinking to himself, 'She really knows her way around business; even I'm stuck to answer. Might as well have a financial assistant for the party. But how can I get back at her.' Looking at the current, phat ass leaning off the pier, Kyn's hand couldn't help itself. Furthermore, Flora's naughty blackmail prompted him to give her a playful light punishment. Looking left and right, yours sincerely couldn't help himself.
SMACK!!!
The light spanking was delivered with a grip that demonstrated his ownership; he did so with a sly gleam in his eye. He wanted to assure her that her antics had not gone unnoticed.
Flora reacted with a mischievous and slightly surprised expression, but her eyes sparkled with delight the entire time. She was aware that Kyn's action was intended in jest, and she anticipated that their life together would be filled with humorous and carefree moments like this.
They were preparing to embark on the next leg of their incredible journey, and their playful interaction served as a reminder of the unique dynamic that existed between them. They were ready to face whatever challenges and surprises awaited them in Athens and beyond, and their playful interaction served as a reminder of their special bond.
"We should go back and join the others, Chris said, wheels up by 1700 hrs. And you, my dear, need some punishment before then." He spoke with a glint in his eyes.
"Ooh?" was her response.
