The Garden

She blushed furiously as he offered her the flower. She took it carefully and thanked him. She smiled as he told her that little tidbit about himself. "Funny," she said quietly, examining the flower. "I would've never pegged you as a person who likes flowers." She tucked the flower behind her ear, pinning it into her hair. She smiled at the ground when he asked about her interested. This felt... right. She felt like she was dancing again. She felt like she belonged. "Well, you already saw one of them," she said with a laugh. "I love to dance. That's the one thing that..." Her voice trailed off and she coughed nervously to cover it up. "Never mind. I do love to dance, as you saw. I also love writing. I write short stories and novellas all the time. And swimming! I adore swimming." She smiled at him

They started on a path that led deeper into the garden and she looked around. The flowers were beautiful this time of year. She adored gardens. They reminded her of home... Home with her parents, before all the controversy. She took a deep, shaking breath and moved closer to Oliver. She plucked a leaf off the nearest plant and began to roll it between her fingers. Her pale fingers trembled nervously and she quickly clasped her hands together, trapping the leaf in between the sweaty palms. She scanned the area, examining the flowers and bushes. God, this guy probably thought she was a freak. She quickly moved on, staying a couple steps ahead of him. "What about you, Oliver? What do you like to do, besides boxing of course?" She peered over her shoulder and smiled at him.

Match Office

Connor was slightly offended and a little worried when Claudia yanked her hand from his grasp. He had heard the slight pop, but since she didn't cry out in pain or anything, either nothing had happened and it had just been his imagination, or she had been hurt so many times that it was normal for that to happen. The latter was extremely worrying. Connor looked at her curiously and talked to her as if she was a frightened animal, hoping that he wouldn't scare her too much. Out of the two of them, Ryko was definitely the more frightening. Connor had been told multiple times that he was a cuddly teddy bear. 

"Alright, I'm sorry," he murmured softly. "It is very nice to meet you Claudia." Ryko snorted and looked away from both of them, crossing his arms over his chest. He didn't care if he scared the girl. Mr. Teddy Bear over there would probably take of her anyways, if she didn't die from fright from both of them. Ryko didn't say a word to the girl. Instead, he brushed passed both of them carefully and started walking toward the cafe. 

Connor narrowed his eyes at the back of his brother disappearing out the door and just shook his head. He turned friendly eyes back to Claudia and said, "I'm sorry for him. He's just in a bad mood. He can't stand having the same Match as me I guess..." He frowned, watching Ryko's black head disappear farther down the way and he sighed carefully. Sometimes, his brother could be a complete and utter douchebag. He smiled carefully down at Claudia, still treating her like she was a damaged animal and said slowly, calmly, "We should probably follow him to the cafe." He gestured for her to go first out the door and he waited behind her. He didn't want her to run off, but he wouldn't stop her if she did. That was her choice all the same.
