Sips pov

I paced around the room, worrying, stalling. I had finally worked up the courage to apologise. With Sjin gone, I was lonely. Very,lonely.I was trying to say sorry to Kim for ages now, and now was the time. I was going to ask her to be an apprentice again. She could do after episodes with duncan. Simple. Usually, after a fight, I called them a bastard, dumb-dumb, or babby, then laughed and it was fine. But I had gone too far this time. I had blown Kim up, far away. To her, I was just someone she used to know.

Someone she used to very friends with.

Someone she now fears and despises.

Suddenly, the truth hit me.

It hit me so hard, a tear rolled down my cheek.

Kim... Hated me.

Kim's pov

I was searching a chest for gold for crafting an item that I'd forgotten about already. Finding no gold, I turned around to go check my other chest upstairs. After duncan left the server, I decided to go to my old base. My own base. Halfway up the stairs, I heard a knock. Ugh I would have to go all the way back up again. Sighing I walked back down the stairs. I opened the door to see Sips. I screamed and slammed the door shut. He had his mouth open as if he were to say something but I had the door closed before he could talk. I grabbed a sword and some old, shabby armour. Not very good, but it would do. I opened the door, after gulping, to a man, a man who scared me. And, boy, did he have some explaining to do.

Sips's pov

I was about to knock again, when Kim opened the door, with armour and a sword. Asking her to put the weapon away, I sighed.

." I need to talk to you."

She waited, tapping her foot impatiently.

"Well?" She asked," what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, you see... Um, I wanted to say that..." I stuttered, nervous.

"Spit it out, Sips"

she looked confused. Well I don't blame her. I am never nervous. NEVER nervous.

"I'm sorry, Kim. For blowing you up at Sipsco. Really, really sorry."

"I know, Sips. I forgive you."

"Then why are you so scared of me?" I asked.

"I forgive you. I just don't trust you much anymore. I don't throw caution to the wind, Sips. You are going to have to earn back your trust."
