To the person who made me fall in love with HolyIceshipping. Durbe the Barian.
I already loved the two as characters when they first showed up but, almost as to make sure that this happened, Durbe-san helped me connect all the dots and now, here we are! Hope you like this :)
Oranges
"Durbe-san..." the silverhead watched as Merag - no, it was Rio now - walked towards him, with a basket full of something that was round and ... orange? The former Barian Emperor blinked, wondering what they were. He thought that they might be some type of fruit but was uncertain on which one.
"Yes, Rio-san?" he asked, happy that he didn't confuse her two names again, thereby making her annoyed... again.
"Would you like some oranges?" she asked, sitting beside him with a smile.
Durbe reached out for one and moved to bite it.
"Oh no! You first need to peal it!" Rio brought out a knife and pealed the fruit, the silvernette watching her do it with curious. "Try it now!"
He did as told and blinked, coughing out of the blue.
"Ehm... I forgot to mention that they can be somewhat sour at first if the juice inside is strong..." Rio frowned, patting his back.
From that day on, Durbe swore to never even look at that fruit again, much less eat it.
Blame it on Vector? Well, he didn't really do anything to them so, your choice guys :)
