Strange Romance
Chp 2
A/n: yet again.. I don't own it Btw.. Srry this is so late I've been playing too much haha Btw, my name on the game is Kuronue (on server Garuda) Look me up sometime .
thoughts
Kuronue sat with wide eyes, listening intently to every detail that Invier told her about the world. She had never seen out of her 'backyard' per say, but he had been everywhere, or so it seemed.
"There are monsters out there that could kill even the strongest of adventurers, some are small, but still deadly, and some are huge!" He looked to the sky as if thinking of something. "King Behemoth, one of the largest I've seen.. I'm about the size of his toenail." Kuronue's eyes got huge as she tried to picture a monster that size. Invier could see her looking around where he sat trying to size him up, and think of how large that would make the monster. He laughed gently watching her.
I can't believe she's never been out of saruta! She's merely a few years younger than I. A Mithra such as herself would be an excellent adventurer, and from how I saw her fight those Yagudos…
He came out of his thoughts as he noticed she was giving him a strange look. He was confused and asked, "What?" She shook her head then looked at him sternly.
"You were staring at me.." Invier hadn't realized he had been, but now that he was caught, there wasn't much he could say, so instead of possibly making the situation worse, he decided to keep his mouth shut. He laughed to himself as he saw her face somewhat contort as to try and not yawn, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't hold it back, and yawned very largely. After that first yawn, he noticed that she had become very tired, probably still tired and in need of rest from her fight.
"Rest," he said gently to her. She looked over at him confused obviously not quite sure if she could. "Get some sleep, I'll watch over you as you sleep all right?" She crossed her arms across her chest stubbornly.
"I don't need anyone to watch over me," she said as she turned to look away from him. He grinned and decided to toy with her.
"Oh, well in that case I'll just be going now," as he said this he stood up and began to walk away. He kept walking and didn't look back… he was almost worried she was too stubborn to ask him to stay, but just as he thought this he heard footsteps coming up behind him.
"Wait," she said, obviously swallowing her pride. "Can you stay… please…?" He smiled warmly at her and nodded. They sat back around the fire and he saw her eyelids begin to drop, and her body start to sway from lack of sleep. He laughed as she had to jerk herself back awake quickly.
"Go to sleep, as you sleep I'll watch over you, take comfort in that fact." He smiled warmly, and honestly at her. She must have believed him and lay down on her side, her arms curled under her head as a head support. She was out in mere seconds and he watched her face as she slept.
She looks so young, when in talking with her, I found she is a mere 2 years younger than I. Her face resembles that of a child, but then looks can be deceiving. I should know that, but…
As he trailed off in his thoughts he found himself staring at the Mithra girl. More mature than she looked, and obviously stronger. He smiled to himself and walked over close to her. He sat nearer to her as to watch for monsters closer to her, and gently moved some hair from in front of her closed eyes. He smiled and quietly said more to himself than anything, "Good night Kuronue, sleep well, knowing that I shall not let anything harm you as you sleep." He stared into the night at a Yagudo as he said it, glaring deathly at it, as it glared right back, but knowing it would not win in a fight against the small Taru, and decided to walk away.
