Eve is a nasod. A being incapable of emotion. Supposedly. She claims to be emotionless, but along our journeys her feelings have cracked out from beneath her seemingly cold personality. She might occasionally be sad. I remember her being disappointed once. And sometimes, the girls will make her smile.

There is, however, one thing she's never done.

Laughed.


We all spent our morning today like we always did; Sitting at a table in a room offered to us and eating breakfast while the morning sun rose along the horizon.

Minus Elsword and Aisha, who were busting out with laughter at the sight of Raven in a spandex suit with black tights. Aisha clutched onto her white coat while Elsword gripped onto the back of a wooden chair he was sitting on. Raven grunted, turning back to go to his room. As soon as he left, Rena and I joined in with the two's chorus of laughter.

"I can't believe he actually...!" Aisha's sentence was cut off by the lack of oxygen reaching her lungs. Elsword agreed with a loud whacking of the table.

Rena, who stopped laughing really early, cleared her throat and flipped her tail of hair behind her shoulder proudly. "It was hard convincing him to do that, but it was definitely worth it."

While Aisha tried to wipe away our Lord Knight's tears away, Eve calmly sipped the tea Ophelia had brought her. She sat on top of Oberon whose arms were shaking from her weight.

"What'd you think Eve?" I asked her. I retied the tail of hair I had and pushed my long bangs out of my face so I could see her clearly.

Eve gave me a cold stare before sipping her tea once again and responding, "I don't see how humans find amusement in this."

Raven, dressed in his normal white clothes and coat, walked back out and sat next to Rena who gave him a peck on his cheek. He blushed slightly before turning away to conceal his embarrassment. She giggled softly at his response.

"So you didn't find it funny at all?" Elsword asked Eve, finally recovered from his laughing fit. He quickly took a bite of the toast sitting on the table in front of us.

Eve placed the cup on the table and looked at all of us seriously with her hands folded in her lap. "Laughter is an unnecessary thing that humans do. It's ridiculous and portrays itself with no true purpose," she picked up her cup and brought it to her lips again, "just like emotions."

"I see..."

Eve stood up from her seat and thanked Elsword for the meal before walking back up to her room to prepare for travel. Aisha gestured at us to lean in forward. We all did as she said, except for Raven.

"Hey guys, who wants to have a contest to make Eve laugh?" Aisha asked in a whisper. Her pigtails brushed against the table top.

Rena clapped her hands together. "That's sounds great! I'd love to hear her laugh sometime!"

Raven responded with a wave of his hand, most likely meaning he didn't care and didn't want to join. Elsword was pretty much out of his seat on the idea. Literally, he was moving back and forth from his chair to standing because of excitement.

Everyone looked at me across the table expectingly. I simply nodded my head.

"Great! You can do anything it takes to make her laugh! Whoever wins gets to be treated by the loser!" Aisha announced.

Rena and Elsword both had gleaming eyes at the contest's prize. For a second, I considered my entry to be a bad choice.

I doubt I'll win. Eve hates me. Even if I try to be nice to her, she gives me the cold shoulder. I normally wouldn't be bothered by a person disliking me, but... I just can't stand the fact that she feels that way about me... And I'm not sure why... There's definitely no chance that I'll win against these guys.


Short chapter. I'll probably have 2 or 3 longer chapters coming up. If you haven't figured out yet, this is told from Chung's point of view. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this first chapter!
