are you happy?

she doesn't know if it's a question or… what. and he doesn't specify, but rather stands there with an amused smile on his lips. waiting. and she doesn't know what to say.

so she starts out slow.

happy… about what? she asks. he clicks his tongue and shakes his head. teasing her.

do you have to have something to be happy about? he replied quickly, like he already knew what she was going to say. is it possible to just stand here, doing absolutely nothing and thinking absolutely nothing and… be happy? he stands with his arm slung over his sword and a brazen smile illuminating his face. i always wondered…

yes, tear thinks. it's quite possible. because he would be the only person in all of the world to take the time to wonder that. and that was what made him special. she liked that. i wonder, too, she says nonchalantly. but we don't have time to wonder about such trivial things. we have to focus about what's important first. like how we're going to stop van…

she walks ahead, counting her steps and making sure that she doesn't trip and fall. and the smile on his lips faded slightly. o-of course. he gave a quick nod and fell into step behind her, being careful not to get too close.

because guy is guy. and even though she wouldn't admit it, she felt a little bad.

yes. im happy… when i know you're nearby.
