Actually, Naomi Shaw and Lara Nash were both Syanese. They had come to Thailos with their fathers, so they were fluent in both Syanese and Thailosian. Although Lara was the daughter of the King of Gamblers, she was very down-to-earth, which was why Naomi had been able to become friends with her.
Seeing her like this, Lara Nash quickly ran over.
"Naomi, what's wrong? Why are you so downcast so early in the morning?"
She shook her head.
"I'm fine…"
Lara was sharp. Considering Naomi had told her about her feelings for Julian Donovan just the night before, she had a good idea what was going on. She turned to Ronan Joyce and said,
"Ronan, I'm going to stay with Naomi for a bit. You head to class first; I'll find you later!"
Ronan Joyce gave Lara an adoring look, then turned and left. Watching their affectionate interaction, Naomi Shaw felt her eyes begin to sting.
