Lora

Night walk

Eek!!!" Lora flinch embarrassingly seeing Ottar with his naked body coming closer to her.

" Oh, I heard from your brother that you were still posion. Guess you are feeling better now," said Ottar swimming up to her.

She held up her hand in defense.

" Stop right there, don't come any closer," she threatening said.

Ottar stops inches away from her. Reaching out his hand, Lora panicked a bit, but quickly realize that he was only going for his clothes that Lora unawarimgly was stepping on.

Lora herself didn't realize that she is standing next to his clothes and thought that he was going to attack her. This was probably the most embarrassing moment of her 18th birthday and she wish she could just die right now..

A while later, the two are seen walking together out of the forest. Embarrassed to look at the guy after everything that happen in that moment a while before.

" I am sorry," Lora apologize, nervously as she could barely look at from Ottar for at least a second. Seeing that she is nervous to talk normally to him after what happened. He tried to play to cool.

" It is fine, I didn't expect someone to be at the lake at that time," Ottar replied calmly.

He ask the question of why she was in the forest at such a time. Lora explain that her favorite hideout is near this place, it is where she and her father hang out on her birthday. Ottar, hearing for the first time that it is her birthday. Wished her a happy birthday. His kind words make Lora blush with happiness. It is the first time a guy outside of her family wishes her a happy birthday. Now thinking about it, this is her first time speaking to a guy close to her age like this.

Because of the elder orders, Lora was unable to celebrate her age of becoming an adult with her family at home, since Aisha and he was staying over. The hatred of humans among the wolves run deep to the point of toxic. Hearing about the war that the humans cause. He is now convince that not every humans are like that. Ottar felt sorry for all the inconveniences he had cause her.

" I am sorry about Aisha, if it wasn't for her you wouldn't have to done such a dangerous thing," Ottar apologize.

Lora smile thankfully at Ottar.

" So what about you?" Lora asks

" What about me?" Ottar replied with a confuse look.

Lora asks why was he skinny dipping at the lake in the middle of the night.

" Oh ... that, it's one of my hobbies," he replied.

" Your hobbies," Lora replied with a giggle.

With a bit of an annoyed look, he asks

" What's so funny about that?"

After stop giggling she gave her replied.

" No reason."

She suddenly whisper under her lips calling Ottar a weirdo. Ottar clearly heard what she just said thanks to his keen hearing for being a wolf.

But he is going to pretend that he didn't heard her and just giggle at Lora.

" What so funny?"

Now it is her who has the annoy face while pressing Ottar for his answer.

The two continue to talk, mainly Ottar talking about Lora on how amazing she fought despite being a human. Growing up in a village where also everyone despite your very existence. Becoming stronger felt like the only thing she have to do to not fall under their words.
