Hello, my name is Raven. I am a part of a group called the El Search Party. Our goal is collect the El that had been stolen throughout the land. During our travels we had overcome many obstacles and achieved many things. Though we are expected to do such tasks, our little fellowship would rather attend to other meaningless matters...
The two wouldn't stop arguing. Hell they weren't even arguing anymore. They were just violently insulting each other. I tell the elf to break them up but all she did was look at me and smile giving a gesture that it was my turn. Blast it all; couldn't we just have some peace and quiet for once?
"You red haired sh*t! You don't know the first thing about common decency!" Bellowed the purple girl
"Well hey- says the one in the skimpy outfit! Who are you trying to impress huh?"
"Th-that's none of your concern! I'm not trying to impress anyone!"
"Heh... with a bust size like that I wouldn't disagree..."
"What was that you little sh*t?!"
Then in came in the older red head. She appeared out of her tent looking like a prank had just been pulled on her. This wasn't going to turn out well. I get up from the stump I was sitting on and headed off somewhere quiet. As I did Elesis lit up like a firecracker trying to shut the others up. Perhaps I should just gather some more firewood. We already have plenty but I don't think anyone would notice or care if we had a bit more. I headed to a thicker area in the woods where I wouldn't be disturbed but that's when I noticed I was being followed. It was the fox. She's a strange one. She had been recently coming to me for personal discussions and advice. Most of the time she'd ask questions I would rather not answer, something tells me this won't be any different. If she wasn't curious then I'd say nosy, what did she want now?
"Hey there Mr Miserable, whatchya' doing?" She caught up then leaned her elbow over my shoulder. Wonderful, my quiet and peaceful trek has been ruined.
"What do you want now Ara?" She looks at me and lets out a smug grin
"Nothing, I'm just here to ask you what you want- specifically, what men want" I didn't want to say anything back but the silence intended that she wouldn't leave until I did.
"What do you mean?" I croak
"What do you mean by what do I mean? I'm asking what are men are into." The woman mockingly smacks my behind "You know; chest size, curves all that juicy stuff"
"What makes me think I'll tell you?" What does this girl want from me?
"Well considering your age, I'd assume you'd have a lot of knowledge in this field. Besides, you're a man"
"Why don't you ask the other 'men' in the camp then?"
"Well I don't think Elboy would come up with anything sensible, Chungy seems too innocent to approach this matter with, I can't even approach Add at all and Ciel only has eyes for cute things" She pouts and looks at me hoping to get a reaction. I continue to walk as if I was trying to ignore her. She realizes this and quickly changes strategy. She grabs my right arm and hugs it tightly against her chest. "C'mon Raaavennn you're the only guy I can talk to about this. Can't you just tell me pweeease~" I pull my arm away from her and give her the gesture to back off.
"Ara- please, we can talk about this another time. Right now I just need some time to get away from things" She paused and raised an eyebrow.
I continue to walk but she was still willing to follow. She remained silent during so. We eventually find plenty of dead branches scattered across the ground. Some were as small as twigs and others were as large as human legs. I bend over to pick some up and surprisingly she did too. She had not said a word since we last spoke but when we exchanged looks, she would just smile. The girl gets it, thank you.
We continue to pick up more branches for the rest of our time together and eventually made it back to camp before it began to get dark. We find a spot by the camp to drop our piles of wood. For once, Ara looked at me caringly and lets out a small smile. "We're not done yet big boy, I'll talk to you later" She murmured before she took off and joined the rest at the camp. What a mischievous girl.
I went to stretch but I was then suddenly approached by Ciel. "Where have you been all day?" He smiled as he extended his hand over to greet me. I then lock my hand with his to give a firm handshake.
"Nowhere in particular, just around camp looking for somewhere quiet to be" I answer
"Ha-ha of course you were." Ciel wasn't much of a bad person. He was good company and pleasant to talk to. "It's good to see that Lu has been getting along with the others quite well. It's only been a while since we've joined your party"
"Indeed it has, and I'm sure most of us are glad you decided to"
"Well I don't know about that" Add had seemed to have joined us. He stood with a warm cup in one hand and his dirtied coat in the other. His eyes gazed at the soothing campfire while the orange light shone onto his pale white skin. "The crowd has gotten awfully big, can't say it's a good thing personally"
"Hah! Believe that more will only get in your way?" Sneered Ciel
"Precisely, you guys already are" Add took a sip from his cup
Elsword then spotted us. With a mischievous smile he came running towards us. He's an energetic kid but a main source of unwanted noise. Only wish he was a little more sensible like Chung.
"Hey boys! Checking out the girls? Not like there much to look at when 'skimpy's' around"
"I heard that you twat!" Aisha growled from across the camp.
"Leave her alone Elsword you need to learn to stop stirring her up for no reason" I warn him. He chuckled a bit and pulled a face at Aisha while she wasn't looking.
"Ha-ha c'mon Raven you know I don't really mean it. Beyond the childish folly lies a strong friendship like no other"
"Yeah, a friendship which ends in blasting each other's hind ends to kingdom come" added Add. We all chuckle knowing that was mostly true.
We were eventually called by the others for dinner. It looks like we had the liberty of not eating hardtack for once. On the fire was several hunks of juicy meat which I couldn't entirely identify but it didn't really matter because it looked tastier than old crackers. Even watching it cook was pleasant enough. We soon dug into the meat after they were ready to serve. Seeing everybody together here like this gave a warm feeling. It made me feel calm and full inside- not because of the food that is. Maybe I can finally fill what's missing inside.
