Hazel waited for his reply to her last question, and when it began to look like he was having a inner war with himself she began to question it herself. Maybe she shouldn't have asked that, it's enough that it seemed he believed her. She shouldn't have questioned him, especially since it seemed to have done... Whatever this is. She didn't say anything at least, giving Jordan all the time he needed to form his own answer. And because it gave her time to once again think about things herself.

Someone knows, and she didn't feel like it was that horrible of a idea anymore. Even more it's Jordan, and weirdly that made it even better then if she had told someone else.
`Probably because he's the only one I've really interacted with. He has seemed pretty willing to listen, even since the start... And I've gotten comfortable talking to him... And-`
She thought to herself, but she had to quickly stop her thoughts from wandering again. Oddly enough she could've continued thinking up reasons of why Jordan was a great person to tell, which kind of freaked her out for a moment. She's never thought about someone so much, even back in her own time.

`Probably because this whole thing is absurd to begin with. It is completely fine to think about someone you met in a different timeline! Anything else is impossible. She doesn't have time for anything else. Yes Hazel, keep telling yourself that.`
Yeah Hazel needed to shut her mind off before she went spiralling down a rabbit hole. Jordan is just Jordan, a... Friend? Acquaintance? Just someone who actually knows who she is. Nothing more. Mhm. Okay enough on the subject Hazel-

He began speaking again and she was happy to have something to listen to, and forget about her spiraling thoughts. Though at his words she felt her own face heat up slightly, and she hoped internally that it was just from embarrassment. He didn't need to say that, why would he say that? That's... Nevermind it. Now she was glad he was looking away again, she wouldn't even question it right now. It gave her a moment to collect herself before replying.

"...I'm... Glad you think so. I think. Thanks for believing me in the first place, I don't think even I would've believed myself."
•~•
Did time past faster then normal? She didn't notice she had forgotten that they had been on their way back to town. Her outbursts did start this whole detour, and now it's gotten even later.
•~•
"We should probably actually get back now... But if you want maybe we could... I don't know, meet up again and keep talking? It'd be helpful to really know where it is I'll be going. And I can always answer more questions!"
