The Bored Immortal

Before Tiana could say anything more, Viktor excitedly said, "I got it! How about Fairy Legs?"

Tiana blinked her eyes in disbelief, wondering if she heard him right, "Excuse me? Did you just make a nickname based on my legs?" She asked with squinted eyes.

Viktor's awkwardly chuckled as he asked in a faded voice, "Why...not? Since you gave me a nickname based on my appearance, I thought I should do the same as well. And...the main reason is I find your legs quite pretty, just like a fairy's. I have read how beautiful and elegantly tall they are in stories."

Tiana's lips parted with an expression of disbelief, although she involuntarily straightened her back, maintaining a tall, straight posture.

She couldn't help but have her cheek muscles relax as her lips began to arch into a smile. But then she stifled it since she didn't want him to know that she secretly liked it.

"Don't tell me you were sneaking glances at my legs all this while?" Tiana asked, not knowing if she should feel pleased or weirded out since her cousin said this. She also wondered what kind of stories he reads that involve fairies.

Viktor hastily waved his hands, "No, no. Of course, not. It's the thought that first came to my mind when I saw you. I mean, not all girls are lucky to have such long and pretty legs."

Feeling how earnest he was with his words, Tiana felt that he was indeed telling the truth, and she thought that she found it surprising because she never expected her new shy cousin to speak up like this.

She then felt that he was someone who was quite outspoken without having any inhibitions when it comes to such things. Otherwise, she was sure he wouldn't be able to say something like this if he had any other motives. She was well aware of this since she got countless compliments from men and women alike.

And this helped her realize if people were genuinely complimenting her and for what reason they were doing so.

However, she was self-conscious of her legs because of how long they were and always felt irritated whenever people commented about them, feeling that they were ridiculing her.

Even during her younger days in school, she got to know about some groups of kids who called her names based on her long legs behind her back.

Since that day, whenever she went out, she would put on jeans or pants that cover her legs whenever she goes out.

But at home, she put whatever she wanted since she knew nobody at home would judge her legs and was comfortable walking around in shorts.

However, strangely enough, she didn't feel irritated by Viktor's nickname for her but instead felt proud since she felt that he really meant what he said.

And indeed, Viktor meant it though he had no idea about Tiana being self-conscious about her legs.

Tiana was standing tall at 178cm, but since Viktor was even taller, he didn't feel like she was too tall to affect her appearance but instead made her look even more attractive.

Still, Tiana pursed her lips and asked as she raised one of her brows, "Hmph, do you go about flattering every girl like this? I never expected you to have such guts."

Viktor nudged his spectacles as he said innocently, "O-Of course, not. It's only because you are my cousin I felt that it was okay."

"Ah, right. You are my cousin. Fiuhh...I still can't believe I have a new cousin, and even now, I sometimes forget you are one," Tiana said with a head shake and at the same time realized why he was open to giving her a nickname.

"Well, time to book a cab," Tiana continued as she opened an app on her phone.

Viktor perked his head to peep into her phone to see how she was going to catch a cab by using her phone.

The traditional and only method he knew was to search for a cab passing through the road and asking them to stop by waving hands.

Tiana saw him peeking through her peripheral vision and sighed as she pulled him closer by his shirt and said, "Since you are anyway standing here, it is high time you learned how to book a cab using your phone. Otherwise, you might come bugging others to catch a cab. So, watch how I am using this app closely since I won't be showing this again."

Viktor nodded few times though inwardly, he smiled in amusement.

He began to have a feeling that this girl seemed more interesting than she appeared and was looking forward to finding out more.

Viktor was pretty good at memorizing things. So even if he didn't understand the meaning behind some of the steps, he now knew how to book a cab using his mobile.

He also realized by now that 'apps' were something that runs in a phone to make things convenient for the users. At least, that was what he understood after using it so far.

Still, he felt that he should research more about computer science and programming as Sayana advised, especially since he was going to become a student in that field.

Very soon, a cab arrived, and both of them got in as they left for the clothing shop. However, as usual, Tiana's bodyguards were tailing the cab from a far distance so that she wouldn't find it too annoying.

Even if Tiana confronted them about this, they could always come up with an excuse that they were just not trying to follow her but were simply traveling around.

Tiana also knew this, including the fact that her bodyguards were following her from afar. However, she didn't seem to mind it.

After around twenty minutes, Viktor saw that they had reached a more crowded location with wide roads, big buildings, and many people walking to and fro.

He thought that this should be one of the main towns in Olknard city.

The cab stopped before a large clothing shop that had a premium look, with even men in suits standing before the door to greet people.

He saw the big letters on the face of the building written in white, 'REGENT'.

He noticed that only people with luxurious clothes and suits were entering the building and wondered why she was going to such an expensive place to buy simple shirts and pants for college.

Still, he didn't mind since he didn't have to pay and was not against the idea of putting on costly clothes as long as they are not gaudy or look ostentatious.

As they walked to the door, Tiana whispered, "After you are done buying your stuff, whether you go back on your own or with me depends on you. And all it takes is a test for you to pass."

"But how do you know if I want to go with you?"
