Audrey lifted her head from her bag of chocolates, and the scent of mage flooded her senses as she stared up at the young(?) man that had wrapped an arm around her waist to stop her tumbling over. It was appreciated, but it made her face flush at the gesture, and the warmth of his touch. It was alien, but not horrible. It was… nice. But also wrong, and Audrey stepped back just once, gently forcing her way out of his arm as she continued to stare up at him with wide eyes. It took a moment for her to compute what it was that he had said. She smiled slightly.
“Okay,” she agreed, words more breathy than spoken, and she took a moment to clear her throat, flushing slightly again as she looked down and away, gathering herself. She was being ridiculous! But the guy in front of her was gorgeous, and apparently kind, and when she glanced up her eyes focused on his lips for a moment. She’d never tried kissing before, but he had such soft looking lips! She flushed more, and cleared her throat again, looking up properly to meet his eyes (such a pretty blue!) even though she just wanted to hide from her wild thoughts.
“I’m okay,” she said with a little more clarity than her last statement. She considered ducking around him and slipping away into the evening crowd, but decided against it; for one, it would be rude. But she also found his gorgeous and that grounded her to the spot more than anything else. He was just so lovely to look at. She knew not all mages were good looking, Asher had been training her to scent them and pick them out of a crowd. But this one was, and it was this one that had been sweet to her after she’d been the one to bump into him.
Audrey offered a shy smile. “I’m Audrey,” she said, and then waited patiently, still studying his features, probably not quite as subtly as she would have liked to be.
