A Day Break
Summary: Arche noticed Chester's similarity to elves
Not every day you have a peaceful day within a war and messed time that kept you transported back and forth, so when a relaxing day finally come to the group, the pink haired girl didn't want to lose the chance.
She felt generous in this day, maybe even let that guy call her with whatever names without counter back. They decided to take a break at the outskirts of the half elf village. Arche yawning at the peaceful moments, being used by monsters, fights and trouble made her bored so easily. However, she still glad being able to rest a bit. Her mana is totally drained up at the battle earlier. Maybe she should think to restrain herself not to throw too much magic in one easy battle.
Chester's curiosity reaches the peak. It's a rare sight to see her like that, leaning to a tree, not throwing random silly magic around. He walked toward her. He frowned and stopped. She has fallen asleep? He was about to turned back when he heard she mumbled under her breath,"Chstrr..."
Is she dreaming about me? Chester blushed.
"Elves."
A confused look plastered on his face. Elves? She must be having a weird dream. As he explores his thought, an apple ruined her sleeping form.
"Ouch! Who throw this apple to me?" she realized Chester's presence and pointed him.' It's you, isn't it?" Chester scowled." Are you dumb? You slept under an apple tree!"
She look above her and muttered shyly,"Oh, yeah."
"Say, what do you dream of? I…heard a part with me and the elves." Arche froze instantly." Did I say those things out loud? Oh my!" the pink haired magician scolds herself.
"So, basically, this one question has been bugging me for so long. Why are you looked so similar to the elves?" She threw herself to the ground.
"What?" This girl is really a surprise. That's an unexpected question." I mean, you've pointed ears, elven eye, and those things, you even chose bow, elves' traditional weapon." Chester studied her face for a while. He sighed." If you insist. Some of my ancestors have elven blood. Happy now?"
Arche grinned." So you're a half elf?" Chester shook his head." No. too many humans blood mixed, after several generations, the elven blood is wiped out, only a bit remained. I'm no different than normal humans."
"Oww."
"What do you mean?"
"It'll be better if you're a half elf too, don't you think so?"
"Why? Despite from the abnormal lifespan, nothing different. Pardon me, I've something to do." His face didn't show any sign of catching Arche's "hidden" message. Arche lets out a disappointed mumble.
He left Arche. She stomp on her feet." Boys are so dense!"
A/N: Hard to write. I got the idea for quite some time, but decided to type this today. Maybe I'll fix this if I get more ideas to write down. Honestly I have no idea how Arche and Chester talk. I wanted to write it as skit typed; It'll be better that way. But script isn't allowed here, I suppose?" I never played the game, but just reading the story in magazine. Plus I'm Tales of fan. Give me anything. Flammies allowed.
Many thanks,
