Queen Locust
Bionis' Leg Arc (12/22)
"Deep red like the setting sun, it's a popular gift for ladies."
Today's event was a nightmare for Sharla. Her brother, Juju, was taken away by the Bronze Face Mechon, and she just woke up. She realized she was back in the Refugee Camp. When she got out, she saw Shulk and Reyn talking to each other. After their short conversation, the group initially planned to head to Colony 6 right now in order to rescue Juju. However, she still felt her head spinning and ringing, which Shulk and Reyn noticed her current health. It was then the two lads decided to force Sharla to rest until she has fully recovered. She argued back, but Reyn ordered her back, which was very similar to how Gadolt would do. Just like before, Sharla realized it was not worth arguing against Reyn.
Sharla was lying back to her mat, determined to recover as fast as possible. During this wait, she glanced to see Reyn coming while holding what appeared to be an insect box.
"How're you feeling?" Reyn asked.
"The headache lessen a bit since I rested here," Sharla replied.
He smiled. "Good! The sleeping princess needs her full rest."
She giggled. "If you keep talking like that, I might be back in shape in no time. Anyways, what is it?"
"Oh! Uh..." He held the insect box in front of him. There was a deep red locust inside, which send chills on Sharla's skin. "I heard from the refugees about this bug called the Queen Locust, so I got one while you were resting. It's...not my type of bug, but I heard it's a popular gift for the ladies. Am I right or am I right?" He grinned.
She blinked her eyes, staring back up to him. "Wait... You're giving me this Queen Locust as a gift?"
"S-sure! So you'll accept it?"
Sharla stared closely at the Queen Locust. Normally, bugs was not her thing, but this Queen Locust was a beautiful red bug. Plus, Reyn went far enough to give her this gift. It's the thought that counts. She looked back up to him. "Sure, Reyn." She grabbed the insect box and set it next to her mat.
Suddenly, he exhaled out loud. "Whew! For the second there, I thought you were gonna refuse! Felt like sweating like a Brog!"
She giggled again. "You really do amuse me, Reyn. Thank you."
