Talk
By Dark Ice Dragon
Heartless Wind seemed happy, Sunshine noted. That was a little different. Normally when he saw him, Heartless Wind looked aloof or annoyed, but that was usually only when Lolidragon was talking to him. Now he was smiling, humming a tune, his walk a little looser than what it used to be.
"Evening!" Heartless Wind greeted him cheerily, and Sunshine blinked once in surprise before greeting him back, smiling.
"Evening." It'd been a while since he'd last talked to the player. "You're happy," he stated as they got closer. "Why?"
Heartless Wind beamed at him. "I confessed to Lolidragon, and she accepted!"
"That's good." It was, wasn't it? Heartless Wind didn't seem to be reacting negatively to his comment at least. It actually made the other's smile widen. Before he could ask, Heartless Wind was being called over by Lolidragon. With a small wave in goodbye, Heartless Wind trotted up to her and they walked off together.
Sunshine frowned after them. Hmm...
A few minutes later, Yun walked by and then stopped when he recognised him.
Yun waved his arm. "Hey Sunshine."
He copied the motion. "Hey."
Yun started talking about the book that he and Jing were co-authoring - it was the third one in the series. They were having a little problem with the plot (and Jing was starting to come down with something) but it was still progressing at a good rate.
When he'd finished, Yun quirked his lips. "What're your questions?"
At that, Sunshine felt a little unsettled, because he normally asked questions about their books while they were being described to him, but he couldn't stop thinking about what Heartless Wind had said. "What does 'confess' mean?"
Yun looked at him strangely. "Did someone else confess to you?"
Sunshine tilted his head at him in confusion. "Someone else...?"
"Said that they loved you," Yun translated.
Oh. "So Heartless Wind said he loved Lolidragon," he mused. Okay, so that was what it meant.
"What?" Yun gaped at him, his eyes wide. "Did she accept?"
"Yes?"
"She did?" Suddenly, Yun was laughing, arms wrapped around his waist as he bent himself double through how hard he was laughing. He tried to stifle it with a hand after a few seconds, but it didn't work that well. "Jing is going to love this." He was then running away, yelling "Thanks for telling me!" over his shoulder.
Again, Sunshine was only alone for a little while before he saw Lolidragon. She was grinning to herself, which was expected.
"Heya." She peered at him, an eyebrow raised. "What new thing did you find out today?"
"That Heartless Wind confessed to you, and you accepted." It was different from the usual things he learned, which he was pleased about.
Lolidragon froze for a second, then spluttered as her cheeks turned red. "Who told you that?"
"He did."
Her eyes narrowed. "He. Did. What."
Before he could repeat what he'd said, Lolidragon was dashing off in the direction that she'd come from.
She didn't seem to like that he'd been told. But Fairsky hadn't minded telling other people...
... Kenshin was right: players really were hard to understand.
Don't think Sunshine would know what the word 'confess' means. It wasn't used in the manhua chapter anyway.
