Friendship Chapter 2: Another half-elf?

We arrive at the inn. I was afraid to enter, what will happen to me if they don't accept that I bring this boy? Most important, what will happen to him? I don't want to leave him like that, some voice in my head told me to help him but… What are the others going to say? They're just going to kick him out? No, they're not that bad, be optimist, Genis.

"Genis, are you okay?" Raine touched my shoulder. I'm sure I looked pretty desperate.

"Eh? Yeah, I'm fine… Just thinking," Raine didn't said anything, she probably know what I was thinking but remained quiet.

I took a deep breath and opened the door. I looked around but didn't see anyone, maybe they're all in their rooms, it's late after all. Perfect, I thought, luckily we all have our own room, I'll take this boy to mine. "Don't worry, Raine, I'll take care of him," she nodded but followed me anyway.

We entered to my room and I placed him on my bed then searching for a coat to cover him.

"Genis, do you think this is a good idea?" she asked with a worried look.

"Why? I can take care of him," I said.

"You don't know this boy or why he's like that. Maybe he was a thief and he got beaten because he got caught,"

"Or maybe he's just a boy that got attacked by monsters." I pointed out, "Raine, relax. Everything's going to be okay." She just sighed and said, "Okay, but this kid is your responsibility now." I nodded.

"I'll figure out how to tell the others about him later. For now, I'll wait until he wakes up," Raine nodded and got out of the room. Leaving me and this boy alone.

"I have so much to ask you," I said, knowing that he wasn't listening. "You seem interesting,"

I moved some of his hair that was covering part of his face. It gave me a sight of his ear, pointed, this boy is an elf. I sighed.

I stayed like that a few minutes, just staring at the boy, until I heard whimpers of pain that get me out of my bubble. He was waking up.

He looked around confused, "W-Where am I?" he asked and tried to get up but he couldn't and let out a groan of pain.

"Calm down," I said, "I bring you here because we found you wounded, Mithos,"

"How do you know my name?" he asked more calmed.

"You told me before, try to remember." He looked at the ceiling for a moment, then looked back to me.

"You're Genis, right?"

"Nice to meet you!" I smiled and offered him my hand and he shook it.

"Sooooo," I hummed, "Why are you like that? Where are you from?"

"Well, I don't remember clearly what happened…" he remained silent for a few seconds, like trying to remember "Oh right, I was on my way to Flanoir but got attacked by monsters, I barely could make it out of there." he told me. I knew it, told Raine she was worried for nothing.

"Are you feeling alright?" I asked him.

"Better than before, at least… Did you healed me?" he tilted his head.

"My sister did, but I took care of you while you were asleep,"

"Really? Thank you…" he smiled. I did too then asked, "Where's your family?"

"My… my family? I-I don't have a family and I don't know anyone because I'm always hiding, that's why I came here."

"Wait, you just said you're always hiding? Are you… a half-elf?" my question took him off guard. He panicked.

"I-I… No!" I took a step forward but he got frightened. "D-Don't come any closer or I-"

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you or anything,"

"B-But why? Aren't humans supposed to-"

"I'm a half-elf too."

"What?" he got calmed a little bit.

"Yeah, me and my sister. We're both traveling with a group of humans." He put a questioning look.

"Half-elves and humans as friends? You're lying." he said.

"Well, they don't know we are half-elves, they think we're elves, I suggest you to do the same." He simply nodded and remained silent.

On how much problems I've gotten this kid? I shouldn't have brought him here… But if I hadn't… This kid would be dead by now, I have to think positive.

"Hey Genis!" Crap. It's Lloyd. Think of an excuse, think of an excuse.

"Genis! You arrived! What took you so lo- Oh, hi" he waved when he see Mithos lying on my bed.

"Who's that?" Lloyd asked. Mithos was silent. I turn to look at him and he did the same. Finally, I said, "He's a kid I found," I probably stop calling him a kid, he's taller than me. "Raine and I found him wounded and we bring him to heal him." At least I didn't lied. "He's an elf." I finished. I had to say that. Mithos was looking at me, I can't imagine what's going on through that mind.

*sigh* Done.

I forgot to say, I'm from Chile and I don't fully speak in English so please forgive some errors you may find.
