The Watery Prison...
"This is where I was held." Canon explained as Lucria touched the rusty bars.
"These bars...I remember them somehow, however, they weren't like this. They were new and Athena and I were talking about this place. It was for betrayers...I think." Lucria frowned as she closed her eyes, "Canon, I chose to keep an eye on you, but the gold knights are pissed at me for it. I know that Athena has forgiven you...Though I can't speak for myself."
"Lucria, you will just need some time to think about it." Canon said taking Lucria by her arms. "Saga loved you and I still do. I harmed you though..." he forced Lucria to look at him.
"Canon," Lucria tried to speak until Canon kissed her. Lucria pushed herself away gently as her face was red. "...I don't know what to say." She tried to think clearly as her voice was going soft. Canon looked at her with a smirk, "Are you still afraid of me?" "No! I am not afraid of anyone. I can't be anymore. I mean...at least not now." Lucria sighed as she pressed her hands against the bars. "I won't turn on you." Canon said wrapping one arm around Lucria's waist. "We don't know that. Hell, the last time Saga did it he did me most of the time." Lucria said pulling on the bars.
"I won't do it to you Lucria." Canon smiled. "We better get back or they will be looking for me. The rest of the gold knights still do not trust you." Lucria said turning to Canon with a frown. "You better remain in Sienna's presence or mine if you don't want to end up in a fight." Lucria poked Canon's nose lightly. Canon gave her a glare as Lucria ran over the jagged rocks.
Entering her bedroom, Lucria just continued to stare out of the window. "Everyone is acting different..." she thought as she pressed her hand against the glass. "And why do I feel like there is more trouble setting here...?" "Princess Lucria." Shun poked his head in the door way. "Yeah?" Lucria didn't turn around to face him. "May I come in?" he asked. "Sure." Lucria answered. Shun walked in quietly and stood beside Lucria. "Are you okay? You were talking to Canon for a while." Shun said concerned. "...Yeah, um, what did you need?" she said.
"Everyone is busy, brother is doing his usual scouting and I was wondering if you would walk with me through the town...If that's all right with you." Shun stammered. Lucria smiled, "Okay. Let's go, I've been worrying too much and I guess I need some fresh air." The two left the sanctuary and looked around the town. "I remember the bar..." Lucria chuckled. "You drink?" Shun questioned. "No, but ?lair always hung out there stopping fights or starting one." Lucria said nervously. "?lair seems to be rough with others." Shun seemed a bit intimidated. "Heh, if that's the right way to put it, then yes; she is only like that when she is protecting me or Aurora. ?lair is dependable." Lucria explained.
"That's good." Shun smiled. "You want to get something to eat?" Lucria asked hoping to cheer him up. "Okay." Shun said taking Lucria by the hand as they walked into a resturaunt. Aurora and Hyoga were already sitting at a table. "Hey over here!" Hyoga waved. The two walked over to them and sat down across the table. "How long were you two talking?" Lucria asked almost teasing. Aurora blushed in embarrassment. "For a few hours." she answered. "Aurora and I are doing fine. How about you and Canon?" Hyoga retorted. "Eh, he's doing great with the others." Lucria lied. "If it means that the others want to kill him." she added. "Shun's been helping me though." Lucria smiled cheerfully.
Shun blushed as he looked at the menu. "Shun?" Hyoga gave him a grin. "Really Hyoga, I was just helping her. Stop putting your mind in the gutter." Shun said nervously. Everyone laughed. Aurora frowned at her menu. "What's wrong?" Lucria asked her. "I...uh, you see...I'm worried about the next battle..." she stammered on speaking. "You should relax for now Aurora." Hyoga suggested. Aurora turned to Hyoga in shock and nodded. "Now, what to eat..." Lucria said looking at the menu. Shun smiled cheerfully at Lucria and everyone decides to order.
Hearing the yelling out of the bar, Hyoga looked over his shoulder. "What is going on?" Hyoga asked. "Sh...you really want to know?" Aurora sighed. Hyoga looked at Lucria. "?lair, she and Miro are having their fun. Again..." Lucria sighed in relief. "Seems that they enjoy the fighting." Shun commented. "Yeah, but they fight the drunks and rough ones to keep the bar safe." Lucria added.
