Taken aback by the question, Levian flickered his lashes at her, before slowly nodding his head. "Yes. B-but a little."
"Is it out of fear?" She inquired further.
Levian thought for a moment, not exactly sure what the reason was.
Was it because of fear, or has he always been a stammerer?
"I don't know…" He shook his head.
"I see…" Leia nodded and grabbed his hand, interlocking her fingers with his.
"W-what are you doing? I-I can walk by—"
"Don't be shy. I walk faster than you and I don't need you tagging behind me." She smiled at him, answering his question.
Levian went quiet and followed beside her as she pulled him away to explore the rest of the park.
…
Seated at a bench within the park, the young man from earlier sat, his dark emerald eyes fixed on Leia who was laughing at Levian.
He stared intently at her and a deep breath fled his nose.
"She…can't be Leia." He mumbled to himself.
