The paths

Juvia froze in place, standing in the awkward position of someone who was just about to leave yet remained for just one more moment. 

And now, seconds passed. 

And Juvia didn't leave. Nor did she answer the question. 

"Is this going to become a thing?" she then finally answered with a question of her own. 

'Huh?' Theo twitched. His mystery senses tingled. "What do you mean?" he then asked, genuinely confused. 

"Haaa...." Juvia released a long sigh before properly turning back and returning right back to her spot. Instead of sitting down on the chair, however, she stood behind it, leaning over the top of the chair's backrest. 

"Is this going to become a thing, for you to ask something important right as the discussion is about to come to an end?" Juvia changed her question. 

'Did I strike a jackpot... all by accident?' Theo thought.
