"[color=df6ca3]There are too many people around to hear myself think.[/color]"

Xena nodded before unintentionally zoning out their conversation. As Flydren spoke, her eyes would stray away from his from time to time, still searching the crowd for any signs of Vadik. She was trying to be subtle but was clearly doing a poor job of it. However, even with her lack of focus, she noticed that Flydren seemed to be distracted as well. Before she could bring herself to focus on Fldyren's words, something caught her eye, and Xena's vision tunneled. There—standing amidst the crowd—was Vadik.
 
[i]Vadik[/i].

The moment her eyes landed on him, everything seemed to fade into the background; She could only see him. And she could only hear her heart thumping as it quickened its pace. Xena released a breath she didn't realize she was holding. He looked just as good as she remembered. With his wind-ruffled black hair and his amber eyes, he looked ruggedly handsome and in control—just like a son of a Chief should. He looked even better than he did nine months ago—tanner and taller, leaner and more muscular. She had trouble tearing her eyes away from him, but she managed it.

By the time she turned her attention back to Flydren, he was already heading for his tent, and she was too distracted to bid him farewell. Xena took a quick glance at Vadik, making sure she didn't lose sight of him. Their eyes met for a brief moment before she looked away. Her heart was still racing and her palms were moist—she realized she was nervous. It had been awhile since they had last seen each other and each day, she had longed to see him. Now that he was right there, just a distance away from her, she was glued to her spot, suddenly unsure of what to do. It took her a moment to gather her thoughts and regain her composure. 

"[color=f49ac2]Kenzie[/color]," she spoke softly, seemingly stuck in a daze. "[color=f49ac2]I'm suddenly not feeling well..I'll be resting in my tent. Don't wait for me, go and enjoy the festivities.[/color]" Without waiting to hear his response, she steadily walked towards her tent which, fortunately, was situated near the edge of the campsite. She threw a quick glance over her shoulder before walking past her tent and heading for the woods at the edge of the valley. She knew Vadik would come looking for her in the forest like he always did, and just like always, she would play her flute, guiding him to where she was.
