Okay, chapter seven? Thanks for all the reviews to all who reviewed. A couple of them were quite entertaining. And once again I deviated majorly from the rough draft. From now on no more rough drafts, eh?
Chapter 7
It was early morning and Browyne and Levi were already up. Marianna was still sound asleep. Ever since last night, when she had made up with Lavi, the sleep she had not gotten for the past few days came back with a vengeance. She had been too upset about Lavi to be able to sleep without crying.
Someone knocked on the door. Levi answered it and pointed to Marianna sleeping. It was Lavi, who appeared fully rested despite his being just as exhausted Marianna from his mission. "Is she up yet? I have plans for today that concern her. We need to get started right away to be able to do all of them." Levi shook his head somberly.
"She sleeps like the dead. Especially when she is exhausted. You probably won't get a coherent sentence out of her for at least a couple of hours." Lavi pouted and went to the bed. He kneeled besides Browyne and whispered something in Marianna's ear. Her response was to bring up a pillow and smack him with it. She hadn't even heard what he had whispered.
"What do you want this early? You make too much noise. I'm trying to sleep you know." She curled up in a ball. Not an inch of her could be seen. Lavi pulled the blanket off her and gasped. Marianna wore one of Lenalee's black slips. The slit went up to the middle of her thigh. The spaghetti straps didn't hide anything either.
"What do you think you're doing?!!" Marianna pushed Lavi to the ground and got up. Almost growling, she grabbed her clothes and stepped into Levi's room to change. Lavi grinned as he was helped up. Browyne handed him a handkerchief staring at him with a wide grin. A mischievous glint was in her eyes.
"What's this for?" Browyne pointed to his nose. He put a finger under it and brought it back to eye level. It was covered in blood. Apparently it was still coming as well.
"Oh crap. What brought this on?" He wiped his nose quickly. The handkerchief came back completely red. "Wow, that was sudden." Marianna stepped back in the room and went to the vanity. As she brushed her hair the image of in her pajamas came into Lavi's mind unbidden, which made his nose bleed again. Suddenly she was in front of him and pinching his nose with her fingers.
"Ow!! Ow!! Ow!! What is that for?" Lavi sounded nasally. Marianna counted under her breath and didn't answer. "Will you explain already? If you're still mad, just say so." She finally let go and sighed.
"If you want something to stop bleeding, you put pressure on it. Everyone knows that." She dropped the napkin on the table and continued brushing her hair. "And what are these plans you mentioned earlier? Hopefully I can at least eat first." Lavi laughed as he led her to the cafeteria.
Author's Note
Again thanks to all who read and review. Thanks to the reader again. Please continue to if you feel so inclined to. I will finish the story regardless because I don't like leaving an active story unfinished. Look out soon for Dream Traveler and another one which does not, as of yet, have a title.
