Re: Love Geometry (Kala)
Kala listened to the sad music, trying to remember if she had been a sucker for the strings of a harp the way all these mamono were now. Lian certainly seemed to be a hit with all of them - and no wonder, they were all looking at him as future husband material, she was certain.
He played beautifully, with long, slender, dexterous fingers. Had she enjoyed their touch as a human? She couldn't recall. She really didn't understand this Lian. He wasn't acting with any real emotion, and it rankled her. To be unfazed by what had occurred between them didn't make sense. Certainly she wouldn't have reacted so well if the positions had been reversed. At least, the slime Kala wouldn't.
"No regrets, huh? So you are completely fine with what has happened?" Kala asked coolly as she descended the stairs to reach Lian and the others on the island. She ran a slime tendril through the surface of the pool, glancing up at the liquid bridge above.
"It's all water under the bridge?" She slapped the surface of the water irritably, not quite sure why she was so annoyed. How could Lian be so happy if he had really been in love with her? "So what do you say to the girl when you meet her once again? When she remembers what she made you promise? How is all this supposed to make her feel?"
