yay for chapter
If she had been a cat, Rin would have been purring in content.
She closed her eyes in happiness as Atalanta brushed her hair. It wasn't that she really needed anyone's help. She was a big girl. Head of her household. Not that there was anyone left in it. Not for now at least. So, you see she really didn't need the help.
But she did appreciate it. Atalanta had just started one day randomly. It was also a way to catch up on the day. Now that Rin had been making friends and spending time with other heroes and spending time away from her
She supposed maybe this was normal. She wouldn't really know. It had been a while since she had someone care enough to ask and really mean it. To be fair, it's not like she's ever admit such a weakness to that false priest. He'd just twist it around.
Her thoughts started to wander
How long had she really been here?
How long would she keep staying?
Did she even know the way back?
Should she ever find a way back?
And then in the darkest depths of her heart, a tiny voice spoke.
Would it be so bad just to stay here?
Her heart skipped a beat.
Forever?
Safe and loved…
But what about...
It wasn't fair to her...
Frowning, Rin shook her head chasing the thoughts away. Rin had asked for a miracle and she had gotten it. More or less. She had a mission. She couldn't let herself forget. No matter how nice it might be. But maybe, she could take a part of it back with her. After all she was a powerful magus! Someone to love and take care of them till the end of their days.
As if remembering where she was Rin looked back, Atalanta pretended not to have seen Rin's mini internal fit. She flashed her a bright smile.
"... Now Rin- Gil came by and asked permission to court you. Anything you'd like to share?"
I'm mentally preparing myself for next week at work. Its going to be a LONG one. Ugh..why
