She found his chuckle warming as he spoke up again and she offered him a smile. "I believe that would make me quite happy." She told him with a nod. She'd already tried many wonderful things, but with so much left to explore, it didn't seem fitting to choose a favorite just yet.
His cheeks warmed into a red hue at her words and she couldn't help the soft giggle that escaped her as she watched him with bright eyes. Then he was speaking, his words almost nervous, granting him a curious look from Xenosa as they walked. She nodded her agreement, her own smile widening as one spread across Roman's face. While it seemed quite silly - and perhaps naive - of her to feel drawn to him in any sense, he was the first person in Aralore to show her kindness. Of course, her lack of social skills and her inability to properly read good intentions likely played a big part in it all.
"I would be happy to have any help from you." She said, giving him a single nod. "And of course Apple too." She laughed lightly. "What about you, Roman? What are your favorite things? Perhaps I will like the things that you do." Her tone was almost excited as she spoke.

Roman spent the rest of the walk home telling Xenosa about his favorite things: his favorite color, the brown of wheat fields; his favorite food, cinnamon rolls; his favorite time of day, the golden hours just as the sun rose and set when everything was warmer and more welcoming.
It was easy to talk to Xenosa--she made everything seem even more welcoming than the reasons he already loved it. It was a bit strange to be flipping so quickly between perfectly at ease and flustered in her presence, but he wouldn't give it up for the world.
Back at the tavern, he walked her to her room, lingering at the door a little longer than he should.
"I'm glad we ran into each other. If you ever want to go on a walk with Apple and me again, just let me know. You're welcome anytime."
