Isabel laughed at that, and leaned against Dust. "Been there, done that. Done so, basically. Maybe not in the same words? But he knows. Or he should know!"

She shook her head, though. "Honestly though, if we all did something like spar together or train a bit--I know you do that, I know he does that, that's why I run all over the island in the morning with him...we're hardly thinking of romance at that point in time. You need more friends, so why can't you just come hang out with us at a time when it definitely won't be awkward? Hell, I know he trains at the Temple of Raida in the afternoon with Hendrik, too, so that's another option."
