Kideme watched him as he rubbed the back of his head, and she knew there was some history there. With them coming back to the waterfall from before, she instantly went toward it and took a seat on a nearby rock. Peeling her sandals off, she dipped her feet into the cold water, which felt nice after a long walk. She looked back to him and frowned a bit, knowing that there was some intense story to be told.

He feared getting hurt, and she could understand that. Him saying that putting his all into someone just to be rejected hit home with her especially. If she was being honest with herself, she felt like she'd been on both sides of that fence, and she combed her fingers through her hair with a tinge of guilt and remorse lingering at the back of her mind. "I don't know Duke. Sometimes I question what it means to love someone." When he mentioned how he changed or at least evolved into who he is now, she tilted her head curiously. It slowly began to make sense of how his extroverted behavior toward women was actually more of a wall than anything. Much like how being a showgirl jaded her to being with someone in more ways than one. "Did she run away with another guy? Did she humiliate you? Did she just....forget you?" Kideme looked at him with genuine concern, since it seemed like despite them being the same age, he had way more experience in love and heart break.
