Part 2: Visiting a..friend...
Xelloss looked at the soggy wet bed. He snapped his fingers, the bed covers were replaced magically with soft, dry sheets.
"Much more comfortable!" Xelloss thought, satisfied. He heard the bathroom door open. He turned around.
Lina exited the bathroom, dressed in a light yellow night-gown that trailed upon the floor behind her. The night-gown was too big on her, yet it gave her a touch of elegance. Her hair was wrapped up in a white towel on her head.
"Feeling better?" Xelloss asked.
Lina nodded.
"Are you hungry?" Xelloss asked and gracefully motioned to a small round table with food with one gloved hand.
Usually Lina would be extremely happy to see food, but when she looked at food in her ill state, she felt sicker...she felt as if she was about to retch.
Xelloss was slightly confused when Lina just stood there and had a sickly expression on her face. He was even more confused when she looked away from the food and staggered away.
"How curious...is that LINA refusing FOOD?" Xelloss thought, bewildered. "This surely is a once-in-a-lifetime sight..."
Lina felt vertigo seize her. She felt dizzy, her head felt heavier. She tripped over her long night-gown and went falling to the ground.
Lina cursed, "Oh, crap...and floor is made out of wood--no carpet....even worse! What a bruise I'm gonna get...Great." she expected to hit the floor..right...about..NOW!
Lina blinked, feeling herself enveloped in warmth...almost like a heavenly warm...
'Did I die?' Lina thought. 'From a fall?' she opened her eyes, seeing that Xelloss had caught her, his arms around her.
Lina blushed a bright red, embarrassed by the thought that she was thinking she was in heaven a moment ago---when she was being held by HIM.
"Now I never thought I'd see the day when Lina Inverse refused food!! A spectacular sight!" Xelloss remarked cheerfully.
A stress-mark popped on the sorceress's head. She raised a hand to Xelloss's face and cast a fireball.
'Fireball!!!' Lina thought, willing the spell to conjure in her hand.
Xelloss just watched, amused. Still holding Lina in his arms, the Fireball was let loose...
Xelloss saw a strand of his hair burn away. Lina's fireball was the size of a matchstick.
Lina sweat-dropped.
Xelloss laughed.
'Oh, shut up.' Lina thought. She suddenly felt tired from casting such a small spell. She leaned against Xelloss, feeling quite awkward and embarrassed, but she didn't really have a choice. Her body was too tired to complain...but...
...but she had to admit...she was pretty comfortable...
"Lina-san, from what I have seen...I think that all you need is rest and herbal tea! Now I think I know where to get some tea from just the right person..." Xelloss said.
Silence.
Xelloss looked down, seeing Lina sleep peacefully against his chest. He easily swooped her standing form in his arms, carrying her sleeping self to the bed. The towel around her hair fell to the ground, her hair tumbled out.
Like fiery-red silk strands, her hair was highlighted by the fire from the candlelight by her bed. Xelloss placed her in bed and tucked her in. He looked at her, slightly tilting his head.
She didn't look like the Dragon Slave casting sorceress that was known throughout the world with an infamous reputation...she looked peaceful and tranquil...Xelloss had to admit---she looked quite lovely right then.
Xelloss teleported out to visit a..friend..for a quick second. Note: "Friend" to Xelloss can mean anything...
Friend=Companion/Ally/Rival/Enemy for life
Filia tucked Valteria into bed. She smiled at his sleep face, his aqua-colored hair slightly disheveled from playing outside so long. He was in a deep sleep as he breathed deep, even breaths.
"Sleep, my precious child." Filia kissed his forehead. She stood up and walked out his bedroom, closing the door quietly.
Filia walked the kitchen and----
"AHHHHHHHH!!!" Filia shrieked, she was looking at the most horrid creature alive.
"Why, hello, to you, too, Dragon-breath!!" Xelloss greeted as he sat comfortably on a chair.
"What. Are. You. Doing. In. MY. Home!??!" Filia said through clenched teeth.
"Is that how you greet guests? Oh, Filia-san, I am APPALLED." Xelloss mocked.
"YOU? A guest? Ha! More like an intruder!" Filia snapped. "I'll die before I invite a namagomi into my home willingly!"
Xelloss's eyebrow twitched.
"Well, I'd love to 'chat' with you some more," Xelloss said sarcastically. "but I must be going soon." Xelloss said, cutting it short.
Filia narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously, "What do you want in the first place?"
"Tea." Xelloss replied.
"What?" Filia wondered if her ears were damaged.
"Tea." Xelloss replied again.
"Why?" Filia asked, her eyebrow arching.
"Must I answer every question of yours, Filia-san?" Xelloss sighed.
"When did YOU become interested in tea?" Filia asked.
"I'll tell you if you give me tea, specifically for a sore throat." Xelloss replied.
Filia looked at him, waiting for him to do or say some thing inappropriate...she then went to the cupboard and took out a pack of peppermint tea leaves. She held them out to Xelloss.
"Are you sick or something?" Filia asked slowly. She never knew that mazoku could get ill...
"Of course, I'm sick---but my mind isn't as perverted at yours, Dragon-Breath!!!" Xelloss smirked, using the 'second-meaning' to sick. He grabbed the bag of tea leaves.
Filia blinked.
1) Sick- being ill
2) Sick- being perverted
Filia's eyes glowed red after a split second of thinking. Her tail popped out and three stress-marks popped on her head. She didn't have her mace-sama with her now but...
"NAMAGOMI!!! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!" Filia spun around, her tail whacking him through the roof and out of sight. Filia waited until she saw Xelloss turn into a nice little twinkle in the sky.
Satisfied, she casually made her way back to her bedroom as bits of roof pieces fell into the kitchen. She would sleep well tonight.
