Yes, I know what you're all thinking, "WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN UPDATED." Well…I don't know, but now it is so work with me here.

It was early the next morning, when Nino decided that she would go for a walk around the forest. She darted through the long, rolling fields of grass. It seemed to go on forever, she thought to herself, "This must be what it's like in Sacae all the time." She smiled at the thought, and wondered if there was a real life for her in Sacae. Then the sky darkened, and was screeching with the coming thunder. Nino quickly darted to some nearby trees to take shelter. Under the trees, she found the most beautiful flower she'd ever laid eyes upon. She picked it up, and decided to bring it back for Erk. It was the least she could for him helping her read.

When she got back to camp, there was some commotion in one of the tents, but she paid it no mind. When she reached the quiet mage's tent, she bounced in cheerfully.

"Erk, I brought you something from my walk!"

"Oh, what is i……. NINO, PUT THAT THING DOWN!"

"I don't understand, don't you like my present?"

"Nino, that's one of the most poisonous flowers in all of Elibe!"

"…..I'm so sorry Erk, I had no idea! Please forgive me."

"Don't worry, it's not you fault."
She then ran up and hugged him so tightly, he wondered if she had been training with an axe. Unsure of what to do, Erk just stood there like a fool, completely oblivious of what was going on.

"Um….There, there," he said in a very unreassuringly way. Nino just sat there cradled in his arms, alone in the tent…actually.

Serra had been outside watching at the girl clinging to HER Erk. She had to do something drastic… something with flare. At that moment, she burst into the tent waving her arms like a mad woman, screaming incoherent words.

"SERRA, WHAT ON ELIBE IS THE MATTER?" Erk tried to yell over her incessant screaming.

"I….I.. need your help, a bug jumped into my tent, A BUG!" She yelled, making it seem like she was on fire, which is what Erk was wishing at that moment.

"Well, ask someone that's not busy," Erk said stonily.

"But I need a big strong man, to help me."
"What is this your babbling about? I haven't got the time to deal with your foolishness now. Go bug lord Hector about your bug." He couldn't help chuckling to himself about the small joke he made.
She then noticed the flower on the ground and smiled so wide, you could fit one of her staves in it.

"ERK YOU SILLY, you didn't need to get me such a beautiful flower!"

"Wait Serra, that's not….."
"No need to tell me Erk," She winked at him and she skipped out of the tent singing and humming a tune she had seemingly made up.

"Hey Erk do you think you should've mentioned the part about the flower being…"

"No, I think she can figure out on her own," Erk said with a grin on his face. Serra was finally going to get a taste of her own medicine.

Well how was it? R&R please!
