Zelia stood in the kitchen with Kyla and smiled as the older woman started to pull food out of the fridge. She took some of the vegetables from her and started to cut them up. Kyla started the oven as she prepared the meat, "You know, Trex has never shown any kind of interest in a girl. Two girls live just up the way from us and he would hardly give them the time of day if they asked."

Zelia blushed slightly as she quickly cut up a few carrots, "Well, we're just friends... So he isn't out of that phase yet..."

Kyla laughed, "Of course, of course. Although, you are the first girl he brought home and the first one I know that he's actually made friends with," She looked over her shoulder at the younger girl, "It is nice to see."

"There's another," Zelia said, trying to make it sound less like Zelia was his only female friend, "Skye... She's a couple years younger than us and she just joined the team but we've all been getting along well."

Kyla nodded, "Ah, so there are more of you? Why only the two of you?"

Zelia bit her lip a little, "Ya, Skye and Flynn. Flynn is a celestial wizard. We've been looking for some rare keys for him. He and Skye stayed in the capital to follow some leads on another key," Zelia couldn't get over the tight feeling in her chest. She wanted so badly for Trex's family to like her and she already was off on a bad foot with his father and here she was getting practically grilled by his mother. She finished cutting up the vegetables and pushed them to the centre of the chopping board, "Of course, we're just his team. He does have other friends."

Kyla looked at her, "Does he have a girlfriend?"

Without even thinking about it, Zelia shook her head, "No... he thinks having an intimate relationship will... distract him, I suppose, from becoming an S class wizard...."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

That Zelia was most definitely taken off guard by. She slowly started to shake her head again, "No... I-I don't," She closed her eyes for a moment to think, "No one has really caught my eye. I thought... but that kind of back fired... with the guy just trying to get in my head... both figuratively and literally..." She looked at Kyla, who looked confused and laughed a little, "Sorry... No."
