I continued to watch as Laila showed me several visions of the past, many which Rina and Xelloss met up and he teased her just in the same way he did me by riling up her anger with showing her up, or trying to match their knowledge in spells together. They'd spend some times in town and with Lei and Laila, and other times Xelloss would join Rina in the library, like the current one she was showing me, which was about a week after they had first met.
"Oh Rina!" Xelloss appeared in the library behind her, who dropped a book on the floor.
"STOP SNEAKING UP ON ME YOU BASTARD!" Rina snarled, bashing him in the head. "Will you fucking be useful and actually HELP me this time?" Him help? Considering the world hasn't ended yet I doubt he ever did help her…
"Of course, I'm just waiting for Miss Laila and Mr. Lei to finish their... Outing I think they called it?" Xelloss rubbed his cheek… Is he really that dense?
Rina rolled her eyes. "It's called a DATE, dumbass. I swear sometimes you aren't human, you never hit on me, the beautiful sorcery genius, you never bother with ANY of the girls in town, and you're an idiot when it comes to your boss and her relationship with my mentor."
Xelloss accidentally tripped at the words 'aren't human' he rubbed the back of his head nervously. "O-oh, really now Miss Rina? I just don't get out much after all I AM a priest..." Ha, she almost got him there. It's so odd to see this less confident and easily tripped up Xelloss compared to the one I know, but according to Laila he was a brand new Mazoku at this time so he hadn't interacted with humans before this…
"Doesn't mean you're dead... That or I've wondered if you're gay..." Rina muttered out loud. "Not that I mind, my sis is a lesbian." Pfffttt….
"Um, well no I'm not Miss Rina." Xelloss rubbed his head. "I'm actually neither..." he mumbled to himself. Yeah you can be any gender you wish.
"What was that?" she asked.
"N-nothing." he said, waving his hands. "So what are you researching?"
"Something for Laila that she asked Lei for, and he asked me. It's about Alchemy." Rina shrugged. "You'd find it boring fruitcake. Hell by the way, for a priest you can't even cast Recovery!" Ha, no wonder he learned how to do that later to cover himself with us!
"Everyone learns at their own pace, Miss Rina." Xelloss placed his hands on his hips, leaning over her shoulder. "Maybe I can help you, for one you're looking at the wrong page for what Laila wants. You should be looking up Astral Magic along with the magic of the Dark Lords..."
Rina raised her eyebrow at that. "... You mean you know about this stuff?"
"She's been moving from town to town to learn a certain spell." Xelloss said with a smile, sitting beside her. "One that can help our order in a certain mission."
"And just what might that be?" Rina asked.
Xelloss stiffened. "… I… I'm afraid I cannot tell you, Lady Laila forbids me to." … Wait, no 'That is a secret?' line? Huh, guess he came up with that later and no wonder, he sure is crappy at avoiding telling something or lying.
"Lady Laila?" Rina raised an eyebrow at that. "Well Lei trusts you two so I guess it can't be that bad, even though with the war going on I can't help but worry…"
"Perhaps in return for your help I can help translate these texts you've been having trouble with?" Xelloss asked, lifting a book that she left on the table. "It seems you're trying to master Lei Magnus's Dragon Slave technique but you haven't quite yet gotten it down, and just to make it harder for you his research is in another language, one you've yet to learn." That's right back in this era, Lei Magnus just created the Dragon Slave, so does that mean in this past life I was the first person to master it after him? Awesome!
Rina glared at him. "How did you know that?!"
"He mentioned to Miss Laila about it once." Xelloss chuckled. "He said you're such a determined student, he's really proud of you actually. Just your short temper and lack of patience keeps you from being more talented."
Rina growled as she suddenly pulled him into a headlock. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY SHORT TEMPER YOU BASTARD?!" No wonder he always has that goofy grin on his face when I headlock him, his freaking girlfriend did it all the time!
Xelloss was chuckled, while pretending to be struggling from her grip. "Ha ha ha, you just proved my point Miss Rina."
"Oh shut up!" Rina snapped, releasing him. "Now be freaking useful and at least help me out! The sooner I find this out for her the sooner both of you are gone!"
"So eager to be rid of me are you?" he asked with a faked frown. "And here I thought we were getting along so well."
"About as well as the dragons get along with the Mazoku!" Rina snapped. Ennn not quite, Filia is a lot worse with him…
Xelloss wagged a finger. "Now, now, if that were true one of us would be dead by now."
"Don't press your luck, I'm tempted." Rina hissed.
"Sounding familiar?" Laila giggled in my ear, I had forgotten she was there…
"Yeah…" I mumbled with a nod.
"I swear though make one bad joke about my study habits and you're dead got it?" Rina hissed about an hour or so later.
"Now why ever would I do that Miss Rina?" Xelloss looked offended. "I think you're merely expanding your knowledge as there's much to learn in this world, and those that know the most have the highest regard and handle situations. Not to mention the ability of vast magic at their disposal like you." He rubbed his chin. "I was told most females stay at home and become wives or something like that, you don't strike me as such, you seem to want to be your own person, stand on your own. It's as if most times you don't even want your mentor supporting you, you merely wish to stand alone."
Rina just stared at him wide-eyed. "… Huh, nobody has ever said that to me before…." She turned her head to hide a slight blush. "Who told you Hawke? Lei?"
"Just making an observation, Miss Rina." Xelloss shrugged his shoulders. "You're different than what I've been told how huma-I mean outside people act. I've never been outside of my temple until now you see so I've been rather… Sheltered, you might say."
"Maybe that's why you don't have the outside influence everyone including my family has that think I'm weird and an outcast." Rina grumbled. "My sister thinks I spend too much time on my studies and my brother thinks I need to settle down."
Xelloss chuckled at that. "Well you're not the only one there. My… Mother thinks I'm too curious for my own good, researching and such when most of my…. Order focuses on other things. I don't act like the rest of them and have been considered an outcast in my own way, but I'm still in training." He must be talking about Zelas and how he avoids violence plus doesn't have the exact same nature as most Mazoku, like not lying for one.
Rina chuckled at that. "I could tell you're an outcast, you're a freaking fruitcake."
"I beg your pardon?" his eyebrows creased at that. Ha, I think she offended him there.
"But it's ok, that makes us one of a kind." Rina pat his shoulder. "It's boring to be like everyone else."
"Perhaps we should keep each other company more often then, when our mentors are away with their business?" Xelloss asked.
"Yeah, business." Rina shook her head. "And I guess, you seem to be useful for sharing information."
"After that, you two became study buddies in the library a lot." Laila giggled.
"Well, Xelloss does have a few uses." I mumbled. Xelloss was useful like that, I could see why Rina spent time with him as the days want on. They would talk, research and Xelloss would teach her many things. He even helped her perfect using the Dragon Slave. Looking at the research they were going over, it seemed as if Laila was trying to get Rina to research about the Giga Slave though… I turned to her. "You wanted her to learn the Giga Slave? Why?"
"Because I knew a student of Lei had to be a special one, I sensed it from her the moment I met her." Laila explained. "Very few have the capacity to pull off the spell, plus knowing how curious she is for magical knowledge she'd read everything carefully enough and perfect it. Look how determined she is. And she was nearly there too. Once she found out who I was she doubled her efforts."
"I see, so Rina wants to expand her knowledge and powers…" I thought out loud. Huh, that wasn't too much different from me I guess… I watched as Rina seemed to be searching for some sort of text that she complained she's been looking forever for, she mentioned it to Xelloss and he claimed he might have it from his mother's library. From Zelas? I didn't think she'd be the type to keep books… I watched as it was yet another day when Xelloss arrived at the Inverse House…
Rina answered the door with a groan. "What do you want Xelloss? Your boss is off with Lei in town."
"I'm not here for Miss Laila. I came to see you, Miss Rina for two reasons. One is that Mr. Lei sent me to get you, and two…" Xelloss bowed, smiling as he held up a book. "Guess what I have."
"Hey! Is that what I think it is? GIMMIE!" Rina reached up for the book in his hand, which he held over his head. I tried to see what the book was, it looked like some sort of ancient text, that went back to the war of Cepheid and Shabranigdo. Dammit I want to see that book!
"Now, now, it helps if you say please Miss Rina." Xelloss teased. "And we're late to meet up with Laila and Lei, shall we move along?"
"Who gives a fuck if we're late! I've been looking for that book for months NOW GIVE ME!" Rina shouted, reaching up again but this time she accidentally pushed him down, knocking him out the door and onto the grassy floor. She landed ontop of him, blushing as their faces were near each other. Why does she keep blushing around this fruitcake?!
"O-oh my!" Lia gasped as she dropped her basket, she had just been walking up to the door from the market with Hawke. Wonderful timing…
Hawke blinked rapidly at the sight before her, unable to hide a smirk. "Well Lia, I guess what they say about virgins going wild was true." She spoke tauntingly.
Rina's face turned bright red. "HAWKE! This isn't what it looks like!"
Xelloss though just arched his eyebrow. "... What do they say?" he asked in a confused voice.
Lia was just blushed madly, she seemed unable to answer. Well seems like she was a bit quieter back in that time and more easily shocked…
"You'll find out one of these days Xelloss." Hawke laughed softly, turning to her sister. "Then what does it look like, Rina dear?"
"I just fell on this asshole ok?!" Rina snarled. "He was being a jerk and didn't give me this damn book." she snatched the book from his hand as she got up.
Xelloss just rubbed his head as he sat up. "Miss Rina, do you always treat people so poorly when they bring you gifts?"
Rina smacked him in the head with the book. "Only the jackasses that piss me off!" Well I have to say there are points she does act like me.
"Miss Rina! That's not how to thank someone!" Lia huffed, placing her hands on her hips.
"Yes, but do we really want her thanking him the way she was going to, Lia?" Hawke teased, still grinning.
Lia turned bright red at that. "HAWKE! He's a priest for crying out loud!"
"And just WHAT way did you think I was going to thank that asshole Hawke?! Not everyone turns their useful items into fucking sex pets like you do!" Rina growled at her, yeah you tell her- …. Wait what did she just say?!
Xelloss just sweatdropped. "Well this is collapsing so nicely..." he muttered. "Though I wonder what has everyone's emotions so riled up…?" he muttered low enough that the other girls didn't hear him over their shouting. Damn he really was bad at hiding his cover back then…
"She's not a sex pet!" Hawke defended, pulling Lia close and nuzzling her cheek. "She's just a pet." Oh well at least she wasn't serious about the…. WHAT?! A PET?! What kind of messed up family were my ancestors?!
"Suuuure that's why I hear you two every fucking night through those thin walls." Rina said with a sly smirk. "Let's see, what was that I was hearing last night about making Lia BEG for something?"
Ok this family is SERIOUSLY screwed up…
Laila giggled at the expression on my face. "Rina loved digging into her sister back when she wasn't with anyone as Hawke's been with Lia for years, thus why Hawke dug into Rina ever since she started showing a liking in Xelloss." She explained.
"Liking? She nearly blows his ass off or headlocks him every time I see them get close." I retorted. "How is that liking?"
"Rina can't come to terms with her feelings, so she reacts with anger." Laila chuckled. "And if you paid attention, she kept her attacks low enough a human wouldn't be majorly harmed. Just Xelloss is Mazoku so it never really harmed him, he actually enjoyed it a lot feeding off her anger. And didn't you notice all the times they studied together especially with how he understood her drive and mind better than her family how they got along then… Except for when Xelloss wouldn't answer her questions?"
"Point taken I guess…" I grumbled, folding my arms. I still couldn't quite wrap my head around this… Then I heard Hawke say something that made my jaw drop.
"Oh like you're one to talk!" She shouted, grinning. "Should I tell dear Xelloss about the dream you were having last night?"
Rina's face turned bright red. "WHAT FUCKING DREAM?!"
Xelloss's eyebrow raised at that. "Why would I be interested in Miss Rina's dream?"
"I probably was dreaming of beating his ass to hell, so he wouldn't want to know!" Rina snapped. Well, that would make sense, I've dreamt of that before.
"Then you must get off on beating him." Hawke replied cheekily and then, in a perfect imitation of Rina's voice, began groaning. "Oooh Xelloss, more! Yes! Oooh, yes!" She mimed, still grinning.
….. You've got to be kidding me. SHE HAD A SEX DREAM ABOUT HIM?!
Rina's face turned bright red. "Y-yeah I must had been yelling at him to beg me more for forgiveness!"
Xelloss just rubbed his head, clearly not understanding. "How does one get off of beating?" I imagine he actually doesn't understand the concept of Hawke's words since he's asexual...
Hawke just laughed louder in response. "Ask Rina later Xel, I'm sure she'd loooove to explain all the juicy details."
"HAAAAWWWKKEEE!" Rina hissed, charging a Fireball in her hands.
"Oh dear, I think this is starting to get dangerous." Xelloss immediately grabbed her hand, distracting her concentration so the spell canceled.
"Hawke, do you REALLY think it's wise to tease your sister like this?" Lia whispered. "... I mean, I know it's obvious she likes him, but he doesn't seem to get it at all."
Hawke chuckled and pet Lia's head teasingly. "Well he's gotta get a clue sooner or later, or else Rina will beat it into him."
"If he hasn't gotten the clue by now, I wonder if he's really faithful to his order..." Lia whispered. "I don't want to see Miss Rina get hurt..."
These two are fucking nuts… I am so glad this Hawke doesn't exist in my time, I'd kill her!
"What are you two muttering about now?!" Rina hissed.
"Oh nothing sis, just discussing when you two will get married." Hawke said, waving her off.
I watched Rina's face turn several shades of red as she looked ready to kill. "MARRIED?!"
Xelloss blinked several times. "Um, Miss Hawke..." he sweatdropped, waving his hand. "I AM a priest, you know. I thought Laila told you that..." Oh yeah sure, nice dodge there. Just add in you're a freaking monster too.
Hawke laughed. "Xelloss, I've seen priests break their vows before when it came to a beautiful woman; unless you don't find Lina beautiful?"
Xelloss rubbed his cheek. "Well, I thought I said before she is beautiful though what does that have to do with anything? Besides, it would be hard for one of my order to ever... Nevermind." he mumbled, rubbing the back of his head.
"Poor dear ran to me later to ask all about this." Laila laughed. "That was a fun conversation."
Rina's shout interrupted me before I could ask about that. "HAWKE! Stop trying to match make me up with this prick! I'm only 18 goddammit!"
"But you'll be 19 soon, and most girls your age are married by now." Lia brought up.
"WHO CARES ABOUT THAT?!" Rina snapped.
Hawke nodded solemnly. "It's true Lina, as the eldest of our family it's my duty to make sure you have a husband; far be it from me to try and find someone you actually like." She said, faking being offended.
"And just WHY are you trying to push me towards THIS jackass?" Rina snarled, jabbing her thumb at Xelloss. Were they really that desperate to marry girls off back then…?
"Perhaps I should leave..." he muttered, stepping back.
Hawke ignored Xel. "He's durable; finding someone who can stand your temper is impossible, so you need someone who can at least take a hit." She smirked.
"Are you implying I'm to be her punching bag or something?" Xelloss huffed, looking slightly annoyed by that. Funny it doesn't bother him in the future being MY punching bag…
"Only if it's by his choice." Laila seemed to answer for me. What the hell does she read mind now?! I must have had the question on my face or something…
"Shut it." Rina hissed, tossing a Fireball at Xelloss's head that he barely dodged.
"See? You're perfect for each other!" Hawke cheered. "Oooh Lia, I think I hear wedding bells~" She sang, swooning into the elf girl's arms.
Rina balled her fists, grabbing Xelloss by his cloak. "Come on dammit, Laila and Lei are waiting. And knock it off sis." she snapped.
Xelloss just sweatdropped. "Ummm ok..."
Lia chuckled as she held Hawke. "I think they are a cute pair."
Laila giggled as she turned back to me. "Rina was in doubt a very long time, and Xelloss didn't do the greatest job of hiding what he really was due to his young age, in fact many times he nearly gave it away."
"Yeah seems obvious." I nodded.
"Of course Rina accidentally let her guard down on day that confused poor Xelloss completely." Laila giggled. "I think the best way to explain is for you to see for yourself…" with a wave of her hand, the scene changed again to the library, where Xelloss and Rina were studying.
"Miss Rina, I think this is the translation you were looking for." Xelloss placed a book down in front of her, pointing to the text. "I think this speaks of actually holding the power of a Dark Lord in your hands, one even stronger than the Dragon Slave."
"Huh?" Rina look at the text, her face brightened. "This is it! Oh Xelloss this is what I was looking for!" and suddenly she just leaned forward over the table and kissed him! … WHAT?!
Xelloss looked even more baffled than I was, he didn't react he didn't do anything, he just looked at Rina like she suddenly went insane! And I think she did!
Rina must had realized what she was doing as she quickly moved back to her chair, her face painted crimson. "…." Yeah dumbbell, you just kissed him and probably expect a tease or something.
"Miss Rina… What was that for?" Xelloss just asked, still with that dumbfounded expression… Yeah not the reaction I was expecting, I guess he hadn't really seen human couples kiss before…
"You… You… W-what do you mean what was…?" Rina growled, then I heard her chanting under her breath.
"Well I just wondered why in the world would you do that?" Xelloss rubbed his lips. "It seemed like an odd reaction to me telling you about the trans- What are you doing?"
"DRAGON SLAVE!" Rina blasted him clear out of the library. Eh, got what he deserved.
Laila giggled heavily at the sight. "Poor Rina, if only she knew she was dealing with a young Mazoku who obviously didn't know anything about kissing or how human mating works."
I turned to her in disbelief. "Why did you take a Mazoku so green and unfamiliar with humans with you? You didn't give him any advice? How was he expected to survive?"
"To answer your first question, I didn't want a Mazoku with me that hated humans, it would have given away who they are. And Xelloss was naturally curious about humans, he wanted to learn about them. He was just created when I took him, meaning he was fresh and unable to grudge either side, this way he could learn to adapt." Laila chuckled. "As for advice he never asked, after this confusion with Rina he came to me. I didn't know what Zelas had told him about humans, plus I never expected a human, especially one such as you to fall in love with him." she smiled. "He didn't realize it because I didn't help him try to blend in, he acted completely natural around you, so it wasn't an act Rina fell for now do you see? She fell in love with the real him, Mazoku and all. After all, he could survive in the human world not knowing how relationships work, but he got curious... Because of you." she winked at me now. "And I wanted to prove that Mazoku and humans can in fact live peacefully. May not always see eye to eye, but you got along. He didn't have desire to kill you actually he was drawn to you. When the poor dear asked me about Rina's outburst I merely told him she might have affection for him, which confused him what that meant, before I could go into great detail I knew Hawke wanted to speak to him so I asked him to rush off to her without delay, and I'd explain the rest later."
I tried to take all this in but my head was beginning to hurt, I rubbed my temple as I tried to process it. "Are you trying to tell me not only did Rina fall for him, he fell in love with Rina too?"
"I'd say he grew extremely attached to her and cared about her, yes." Laila chuckled. "Granted I'm not sure how long it would have lasted, but obviously he cared enough to save her reincarnation, you."
I stiffened at that. That's true he was the one that sent me here to save my current life, because Rina was already long gone. I sighed, as much as this was a headache I needed the rest of my answers. "What in the world did Hawke want to see him about? And I still haven't seen how their contract came about, or what happened when she found out he was a demon?"
Laila smiled at that, taking my hand once again. "Well…" the scene changed again, to the Inverse House where Xelloss arrived and knocked at the door. Guady lead him to a room that Hawke was waiting inside, sitting in a chair.
"You called for me, Miss Hawke?" Xelloss asked as he entered, rubbing his head. "Where's Rina?"
Hawke waved nonchalantly. "I sent her off on an errand with Lia, needed to get her out of the house while we spoke to you."
"Speak to me?" Xelloss looked confused as he sat with Guady on the couch. "Whatever about?"
"Rina's birthday is coming up, I wanted your help planning the party." She replied with a smile. Oh so this is coming near her birthday, that was where she got that holographic card from Lei wasn't it?
"Birthday?" Xelloss just blinked, his eyes showing his utter confusion. "Is this thing something special to Rina that's why you're holding a celebration? And why do you want my help?" he rubbed his head. Oh boy…
Guady just stared at him. "… What?" he looked at Xelloss like he was insane.
Hawke blinked rapidly. "You're...you're joking, right?" She said, equally as confused as her brother was.
"No." Xelloss shrugged his shoulders. "Would you mind explaining it to me? I live a very... Sheltered life in my temple. This travel with Laila is the first time I've come in contact with outsiders."
"Sheltered is one thing, Xel... But not knowing what a BIRTHDAY is?" Hawke asked skeptically.
"You never once in your entire life celebrated the day you were born?" Guady asked.
Xelloss mouthed the word 'born' for a moment, then blinked as he smacked his fist into his hand. "Oooohhh THAT'S what it's called! I remember reading about that once but it didn't know what it's called." he laughed. "My... Order doesn't celebrate such things, in fact just about all of us don't even know exactly when we were born, nobody really keeps track." I guess it wasn't a total lie, Mazoku don't carry around birth certificates... He then rubbed his head again. "But again, why ask me and what could I do?"
Hawke continued to look at him suspiciously, but continued onward. "I had wanted your help in setting up the party with us, you know help surprise her."
"Again, why me?" Xelloss still seemed confused. "Besides for a special day for Rina you'd think she'd want me to be around as least as much as possible." he chuckled.
"Because you've spent the most time with her recently, I figured I could use your input to make it more festive for her." Hawke explained.
"Oh?" Xelloss blinked again, rubbing his cheek. "All we ever do when we spend time together is researching in the library for Laila and Lei to be honest. I suppose though it should have lots of food with the glutton she is..." he then eyed her suspiciously. "Shouldn't you, her own sister be able to figure that out better than me as I've only known her for a few weeks? You're implying that she acts differently around me or something?"
Guady turned to Hawke with a bewildered expression. Wait you mean for once the jellyfish brains didn't get confus- oh wait that's right Guady isn't as clueless as Gourry…
Hawke was blinking rapidly, opening her mouth a few times as she failed to find the words. "You...you honestly have NO idea how she feels about you?"
"Well mostly I detect anger in her emotions..." Xelloss mumbled to himself which he suddenly cleared his throat. "I mean, that's my impression from how she's constantly throwing spells at me and screaming." he shrugged his shoulders. "Care to enlighten me?"
"He almost slipped there again." I commented to Laila, who was giggling next to me. "But he really had no clue at all?"
"He could only identify the negative emotions Rina had, love was something completely foreign to him. That and Rina was usually angry at herself for getting flustered around him, so Xelloss figured the anger he felt in her emotions was towards him." She replied. "As I told you I sent him off to Hawke as he didn't believe me when I told him she had affection for him, I figured Hawke was better suited to tell him the truth, that and she wanted to ask him about her birthday."
"Hawke, he really doesn't know." Guady said, turning to his sister.
Hawke's jaw nearly hit the floor. "She LOVES you, you moron!" She practically screamed. "How can you be so... So... BLIND?!"
"HUH?!" Xelloss's eyes were wide open and he blinked a few times. "... But love is a positive emotion isn't it?" he asked, not taking precaution about way he worded that because he was so stumped I guess. Maybe he'd never felt anything so positive out of Rina...? "I-I mean isn't normally one in love in a positive mood? Rina's ALWAYS in a foul mood and bad temper." he quickly said to try to regain his composure as he rubbed his head. Ha, nice try at a save there Xelloss. "... I guess that would explain why she kissed me in the library this morning... I guess Lady Laila was right…"
"So that's why he didn't believe you before?" I asked Laila, turning to her.
She nodded. "Yep, he said the same thing, that her emotions are usually negative."
"She kissed you?" Guady's eyes widened.
"She WHAT?!" Hawke screamed, eyes wide in shock. "How could such a thing happen, AND I DIDN'T HAVE IT RECORDED ON A HOLOCARD FOR BLACKMAIL?!" … Ok I guess that sounds like my family, after all I did create one like that of Luna for profit…
Xelloss rubbed his cheek. "Well we were just researching when I found what she was looking for, and suddenly she did that, the moment I asked her about it she blasted me clear out of the room and left."
"That explains why she came home early growling." Guady said, his arms folded across his chest.
"You... You stupid moron... No wonder she's been so volatile all afternoon." Hawke bemoaned, covering her face with her hand.
"What did I do?" Xelloss asked, clearly having no idea. After all like Laila pointed out he's a Mazoku, a baby one at that… "Or rather, what should I have done?"
"You should have kissed back, you dolt!" Hawke growled. "She loves you, and you blew her off!"
Xelloss sweatdropped. "... Oh." he fumbled his fingers through his hair. "Um, if you don't mind me asking... How do you do that? I mean I guess there's more to it than bumping lips..." … Did he seriously just ask that?
Hawke blinked, raised a hand, opened her mouth to try and answer, and finally just bashed her head into the wall.
"M-Miss Hawke! What are you doing?!" Xelloss cried.
"Oh don't mind her, she does that when she just can't believe the overwhelming stupidity around her." Guady remarked rather snappish. Oh that's rich coming from the one that becomes a jellyfish brains…
"No human could be this stupid!" Hawke screamed. You think this is bad? You should meet the reincarnation of your brother…
Xelloss just silently chuckled at her comment, guess he keeps finding it amusing they think he's human even after how stupid he acts at times… "Umm, anyhow Miss Hawke... I'll help you with what I can." Oh dear this can't go well…
Laila spoke up then again. "He came back to me after this, trying to confirm the theory that Rina was in love with him. And then a few days later he came to Rina with the combined advice of both me and Hawke, on her birthday..."
