1 Heraldic Mage
Disclaimer: I will never own it. So get over it.
The sea breeze feels good. We are on the ship heading out for Hilton, the main port of Lacour. It has been so long since I have been there. Rena is leaning out over the side, and Claude is yelling at her to be careful. I have to smile at that. Ashton is looking up at the sky while Gyoro and Urunun seem to have fallen asleep. I walk over to him.
"Hi." He looks up at me.
"Hey…" We haven't seen him smile yet…What could possibly be that depressing?
"You OK?" I ask. He looks me in the eye, then just looks down.
"Same as usual, I guess…" Forget tact.
"So how come you never smile?" He looks up at me like he isn't sure if he should hurt me or laugh at me. Finally he just shakes his head.
"Because I have nothing to smile about." He finally says. "I am the unluckiest person alive."
"I wouldn't go that far…" I say. He looks at me like I have lost it. "Well," I continue, "Look at what you have. The three of us will be here if you ever need it, and Gyoro and Urunun are also there to watch your back." He thinks about it a moment, then gives a small smile. I'll take any victory I can get.
"I guess you are right…" he says. "I never thought of it like that."
"HEY GUYS! LOOK!!" Rena is screaming from the front of the ship. Ashton stands up and we both head over. Claude actually has his arms around his waist while Rena is leaning out as far as possible. I chuckle, then go help Claude pull the over-excited teenager back on board. Once we know she is staying, we look over. In front of us is the port of Hilton, on the continent of Lacour.
**Hilton Inn**
Everyone is in one room right now, but we again rented two. Claude and Ashton are sitting opposite Rena and myself at the small table.
"So what are the plans?" I ask.
"First we should head over to Lacour. We will need some better weapons if we are going to El." Ashton's eyes go wide. Oops… I knew we forgot something.
"EL?!" he says. Rena and Claude look over at him.
"I thought you knew we were going there…" Claude says. Ashton shakes his head. "Well, if you don't want to come just say so."
"No. I will come. I just wish I had known before… I would have packed better…" I smile and shake my head.
"So after Lacour?" I ask.
"Well, we still have to bring that book to Linga." Claude says. I nod.
"Well," Rena says, "we have a long day tommorow, so why don't we get some sleep." The boys get up to leave.
"Hey Ashton? What time do you usually get up?" Ashton looks at Claude strangely. I smile. I already know where this is going.
"I like to sleep in. Why?" Claude turns to him.
"These two will be knocking on our door at the crack of dawn. So just be prepared." Rena is trying not to giggle, and I am ready to burst. Ashton's expression was priceless. They leave, and we both start laughing. When we finally settle down, we go to sleep.
**Next morning… crack of dawn ^_^**
I'm wide awake, Rena is wide awake, the boys will be if they are not already. Rena and me smile at Ashton's priceless expression when he heard we were early risers. We have everything packed and ready, and head out to get the boys. But we find them in the lobby already. We both stop shocked. They both smirk at us.
"Gyoro and Urunun are early risers too." Ashton explains. "So we decided to beat you out here." I just shake my head. Rena just smiles. We head out for Lacour Castle.
