"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.

"Not the best dinner, right?" Senja teased him while playing with her chicken bone, breaking the tense atmosphere from earlier conversation.

"At least I fill my promised." Xiao Tianyao said nonchalantly.

"At least you can keep your question until we are done." Senja mumbled. She thought Xiao Tianyao didn't hear it.

"You are right." But, of course he did.

Senja's head snapped at him and suddenly felt guilty, that's not what she meant. But, when she saw a playful grinned rose on his lips, she knew that he was fine now. So, she grinned back at him.

"I am done." Senja said, put down the chopstick.

"Let's go back." He did the same thing. He had lost his appetite long time ago. His food was barely eaten.

When both of them were about to stand up an old lady approached them.

"Young men, how about fortune telling before both of you go?" The old lady with white dress chuckled with delight.

"Maybe next time." Xiao Tianyao was muttered under his breath.

Senja thought it was quite polite of him to answer the old lady. Usually he would be too arrogant to answer anyone question, but seemingly he still has conscious to the elder people.

"Come on young men, I will give you half price for both of you…" She insisted, smiling even brighter.

Senja looked the old lady, even though she was smiling brightly, but she could sense that she desperately wanted some money. How old she is? Seventy? Eighty?

Her eyes were cloudy and Senja bet the old lady already had a problem with her sight.

"Why don't we try?" Senja pulled Xiao Tianyao back to his seat.

The old lady laughed maniacally when she heard Senja's suggestion, without wasting any second she had perched on the seat next to Senja, afraid that she would change her mind.

"Now, give me your left hand young man?" She ordered happily reached out her own hand with palm facing up.

Senja's lips twitched while Xiao Tianyao snickered beside her. "Young man?"
