426 YOUNG MAN? (1/2)

”Everything is going to be alright…” Senja kept soothing while trying to adjust herself with this new emotion.

It was so raw and vulnerable.

Senja would have never thought to use the word 'vulnerable' to describe him. But, it was what she felt about him now. ”We will figure it out together, okay.” She persuaded him.

When Xiao Tianyao didn't raise his head to look at her, Senja stood up and circled the table then settled to sit beside him.

She hugged him, trying to calm him down.

Since she could feel him now, it was easier to do it. The feeling was strange for her and stronger than anyone else she had ever sensed.

Yet, at the same time it was so familiar and in synced with her.

The odd description about what Senja felt right now when she was able to sense Xiao Tianyao's emotion. It was simply indescribable.

His feeling was out of the way.

After a long time that felt like forever, Xiao Tianyao tensed shoulder a little bit relaxed under her embraced. The raging storm inside his mind was a little bit calm now.

”I am alright…” He patted her shoulder as she raised her head from the crook of his neck.

”Sure?” Senja assessed his expression and caught in his tired eyes.

”Yes.”

”Should we go back?” She let off of him slowly as she sat straight.

”Let's finish our food first.”

”Alright.”

The rest was filled with silence when they resumed to eating.

Senja couldn't taste her food properly now after what had happened, after what she felt from Xiao Tianyao and he mirrored her.
