Love is Blind
What was it about her...? Something just took the bad end of his psyche and threw it into the fires of hate. Yet, somehow, he couldn't resist this strong urge to like her. What was it...?
Was it the way she rocked her hips as she walked? The way she always thrust herself in front of him, sashaying around, shaking her amazing curves, flaunting her unnaturally adult body despite her age? Or the fact that every time something happened, she would be the first to be on his heels?
Her fiery attitude was a plus... It got the battle spirit going immediately, and never ceased. Maybe that was it... Or perhaps it was her perfect bod- No.
What the hell was wrong with him? Since when was he such a pervert? Sure, When Judith flaunted her breasts right in front of him when they discussed her armor, he wasn't hesitant in the slightest to enjoy the eye candy that danced in front of him. And she was nary shy about flipping around in battle, leaving him quite a view of some nice black panties, but...
A child? Was he really staring at the body of a child before an adult? Had he really fallen so low?
No, that couldn't be it. It was just troublesome seeing a fifteen year old walk so sensually, yet be that incredibly high strung and, at times, frightening.
Yuri rolled onto his side, letting out a heavy sigh. He didn't have the time for this. The party would be separating tomorrow... Estellise would be returning to the castle, Rita would continue her research assignment from the Commandant, and Yuri himself would start a guild with Karol.
And after the night he just had... Feeling Ragou's flesh tear under his blade, his bones cave to the strike... He had killed before, but not like that. Not like that at all... It frightened him, yet he also felt relief, knowing that he finally was doing what he planned to when he left the knights. This was his decision... And whether what Barbos said was true or not, that he was on his way to making enemies he could never defeat, then so be it.
This was his choice... And he had made it without hesitation, even with full knowledge of consequence. "I guess I'll be seeing you in hell then, Barbos... Hope you toughen up until I get there."
He closed his eyes, finally feeling sleep pass over him... Yet one last thought came to mind...
She sure had a nice ass when I was climbing the ladder behind her in Caer Bocram...
"Damn it..."
