Alex chuckled following her keeping up rather nicely

She spun around to walk backwards once nearby, laughing. "It's funny. I don't remember the last time someone kept up so easily when I'd start rushing off like that. It's sorta nice."

"It's quite easy for me since i work out by swimming" he said a smirk on his face he streched and smiled as he continued to keep up with her

"It's a different weight though. Water makes you much lighter naturally due to boyancy. Or so my boss tends to tell me." A laugh escaped her once at the bakery, her arm reaching to hold the door for him. "After you."

Alex chuckled "so? it doesn't really matter to me i still get a work out"

"I suppose so. But it does change your speed depending on where you are."

"not really, just means I'm fighting against a thinner substance compared to fighting against water"

"I guess so." She just smiled, heading towards the kitchen to began moving a variety of items to make batter. When done, she began to swiftly stir in a large bowl, adding some seasonings before laying it out. "Is there any sort of pastry you particularly like? I can make extra for you."

"no, no no, it's all right, i'm not hungry" he said watching her make the pastries

"Can I at least make you something before you leave? I feel bad- you've helped me so much and I haven't gotten to do anything in return."

"yes you have, you've given me a good conversation" Alex said before yawning "but maybe something hot might keep me awake" he said

"How about some nice hot tea? I must admit, I'm a bit chilly as well. A hot drink is great for warming the body and keeping one well." Smiling, she began to boil some water in the meanwhile. When it was done, pastries waiting in the oven, she poured two cups of water and set up some good tea. She held a cup out. "Here. Try it."
