"How long is the trip going to take anyway?" asked Annie as she looked out the window. Her eyes followed a pair of crows that flew by the pane into the clouds above.

"Judging from this map, I'd say about an hour only. This ship moves fast," replied Grayson while looking at a map. On it was a conspicuous location marked "Ryka's Hot Spring" with a symbol depicting steam.

"Hmm," said Annie with a hint of indifference.

"Say," she began. Grayson turned his eyes from the map towards her.

"Did you ever love someone?" she asked quietly.

Grayson looked at Annie for a moment, then looked back at the map.

"No," he said. "In fact, I don't think I've ever loved anyone."

"Oh." Annie sat down with Grayson, putting a noticable distance between them.

"I'm indifferent about it, to be honest," he said, putting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his palms. "I haven't given any thought to it because I've had no reason to."

"I'm not sure about now, though. Would I love someone?" Grayson shrugged. "I'm the passive type of guy who'll let someone else take the reins in situations like those."

It looks like I'll have to make the move, thought Annie.

"I'm going to try and get some sleep before we arrive. Can you watch over my stuff in the meantime?" asked Grayson. Annie nodded her consent, prompting Grayson to pull his green hood over his head. He closed his eyes and the sound of deep breathing could be heard.

Once he was asleep, Annie sighed.

How will I ever get him to notice?
