A Friend in Time
"Mm." Soren moaned walking by Ike.
"What Wrong Soren? You've been acting weird since we came to this country side?" Ike question
"I use to live here." He sighed "I use to work with them."
"Why don't we pay them a visit them." Ike suggested
"What?" Soren yelped
The pair walked down the old country road, farms came and went. The wind blew softly around them chilling the summer air. They walked by a crop farm and Soren stopped walking, his eyes fixed on a boy working in the fields. He shot off running towards the fence.
"RAY! RAY!" Soren shouted "Over here!"
"Huh? Hey there travelers can I help ya'll?" Ray asked giving them both an ear to ear grin.
"Ray…It's me?" Soren murmured
"Pipsqueak?" Ray gasped golden eyes wider then humanly possible "Oh thank the goddess! It is you your…your alive!
"Is Anamee still here?" Soren asked
"Well if she wasn't I'd be looken' for work still." Ray chuckled "Whose yer friend?"
"Hi. I'm Ike. Of the Griel mercenaries." He half smiled at the man
"Look's like someone taught the human manners." Ray smirked
"Hey! If you call me a human I guess I'll call you a subhuman." Ike snapped
"I ani't no subhuman!" Ray sneered
"Wait! Ray, to human's here there called beroc. Ike, He's not a laguz he's a demon" Soren explained
"Err…Sorun? Anamee's back. You better be a runnen." Ray shivered pulling on his colorless locks
"Ray…I'm home." Anamee shouted
"Now or Nevur buddy." Ray chattered his teeth
"What are you so scared about? She's just a girl." Ike asked
"Don't caller' that!" Ray warned
"Ya Ike. She's a girl that can kick your butt in sword fighting." Soren smirked
"Oh really? I think I'll challenge her to a fight." Ike sneered
"Ray, what are yer…..Ahh." Anamee gasped
"Hi." Soren waved
"So…sore…Soren!" Anamee stammered
"…" Everyone was silent
"Soren, you jerk!" She shouted punching him right in the kisser
"Ugh!" Soren gagged
"Hey! What ya do that for!" Ike yelled pulling out his sword
"Stay outta this human!" Anamee glared
"It's beroc Annie." Ray corrected
"Shut it Ranndi!" She snapped
