Re: 10:00 - Will and Lina, in the meadow
Lina reasoned that she wasn't a coward that she just wasn't wanting to cause a scene. But the truth of it was even after having sat in the garden, and talking to Andi, she couldn't face going back to the pavilion just yet (if she even intended going back at all) and having to deal with not-so-subtle looks and whispers. The gardens themselves didn't even seem like a sanctuary now for some solitude. It was why she'd headed to the meadows. While she wouldn't be entirely alone with the Aethonans there it was the peace and quiet that she needed.
"Oh... evening, Will," she said after recovering from her bit of surprise at being greeted. At least Will didn't hate her—even if he didn't have the whole story of her past mistake. She gave a small smile at the compliment but it didn't quite reach her eyes. "Thank you. And, oh... no, not exactly. I just needed some quiet is all. I've not disturbed you have I?"
