Swordians

Thinking

Ok, now, I'm used to calling Karyl Johnny, so I'm gonna call him Johnny. Deal with it.

I wonder why Leon acts the way he does… Bad childhood perhaps? Or maybe he was just born a git… I pondered this as we walked around aimlessly in a random dungeon.

"Philia! Keep up!" Leon yelled at me.

He's so impatient! I'm not even three feet behind everyone else!

"I'm sorry! I'll keep up!" I shout and run up next to him. He seemed satisfied with that.

"Hey look, monsters!" Stahn pointed.

I hate to see how his children are going to turn out… (Heheh, Kyle's pretty dumb too! XD)

"Thank you, Captain Obvious…" Johnny said fingering his mandolin.

"My name's Stahn…"

I feel sorry for his children… at ten years old they'll be smarter then he is… (Nooooope! XD)

"Are we going to fight them or just stand here?" Rutee taunted as she ran up to the monsters, not that she can do much anyway.

I cast spells, Leon ran right up to the monsters and attacked, Stahn made sure that Rutee wasn't interrupted as she were healing us, Garr stood there completely unhelpful without his swordian, Chelsea shot arrows this way and that, Mary fought as she should, and Johnny sang…

Is his singing that terrible?

After the fight we wandered on.

"Why do monsters have money and gels with them?" I ask. "I understand the lens part, but why money? And even weapons sometimes…"

No one said anything for a minute.

"Don't ask meaningless questions!" Leon snapped at me.

"Oh-HOH! So, you don't know the answer, Brat?" Rutee teased Leon.

Why does she do that? Does she just want attention? Or does she like getting shocked?

"Be quiet, fool, and I suppose you know why!"

I was only asking a question… why does it have to turn into a fight?

"Of course, I don't know! But, you should, Mr. Thinks-he's-better-and-smarter-than-us!"

Before the fight could escalate to remote usage there was a, "THAT'S WONDERFUL, LEADER!" followed by laughter over to the right.

"Maybe they know the way out!" Stahn said cheerfully.

"Riiiiiiiiiiight… They'll know where we're supposed to be going…" Leon sighed and followed Stahn.

I just noticed that Garr and Chelsea were being awfully quiet.

I turned around. "Garr? Chelsea? You alright? You're not talking much…"

Chelsea was clinging to Garr's arm. Garr looked uncomfortable. Chelsea was looking very happy, though.

Doesn't Chelsea know that she's about ten years younger than he is? I looked at Leon. At least she acts young…

We came upon the Black Wing. Millie started to inch over to Stahn. Stahn tried to get away from her… andhe made it to the wall. Rutee was furious.

"YOU! GET OFF 'IM!" Rutee screamed as she ran over to Stahn.

"Hm?" Millie stopped trying to seduce Stahn for a minute. "Oh? Is he yours?"

Stahn looked confused over the attention he was getting.

Rutee choked, "Mine? Who would want a stupid country boy!"

"Then he's up for grabs?"

"… I call him!"

Leon looked disturbed, Garr wasn't paying attention because he found this the perfect opportunity to pry Chelsea off, Chelsea was watching closely, Johnny was playing with his hat (I would if I was a Johnny) completely uninterested, Grid was gloating, Jon was praising Grid, Mary had gotten an ice cream cone from… somewhere…

Where'd she get that…?

And I was watching everyone else.

Millie walked back over to Grid and Jon and they left the way we came.

"Hey, Rutee, what did you mean when you said that you called me?" Stahn asked genuinely curious.

"NOTHING!" And with that, Rutee stormed off.

"Women are weird…" Stahn said to himself rather loudly.

Before the other males could agree, Rutee was back shouting, "YOU STEREOTYPING COUNTRYBOY! WHY I OUTTA--!"

"My, Atwight, your mistress certainly has a hot temper…"

"And I suppose having a calm idiot is better, Dymlos?"

And it continued on like this for a while until Leon got out his remote and…

BZZZT! They both hit the ground, hard.

"Will you two please shut up!" Leon said putting away his remote.

"I mean, really!" Mary contributed.

Chelsea was trying to get a hold of Garr again, but he kept on moving his arms.

"Garrrrrr! Hold still!" Chelsea whined. When he wouldn't she gave up with a, "phooey!" Honestly, do you expect anything more?

"Can we get going now? I'm hungry…" I complained, and I hardly ever complain… What? I was really hungry!

"… HEY! I'm not an idiot, Atwight!"

There was silence. Then, "You just noticed, Stahn? Dymlos, you're master truly is a fool."

"Yeah, I know…"

"Let's GO already!" Leon fumed at the group. "I want to get OUT of here!"

Wait, I was the one complaining…

"Why don't we go… left!" Stahn said pointing to the right.

"Sure…" I said sweatdropping "let's go left."

We walked "left" for some time.

My feet hurt…

But, soon, there was… LIGHT!

"AUGH! IT BURNS!" Leon shielded his eyes with his cape.

"Zombie!" Stahn accused.

"No, Vampire!" Rutee shouted.

Leon flushed. "I'm HUMAN, DAMN YOU!"

My glasses flashed in the sunlight. "Of course you're human, Leon, don't let what they say get to you… They'll only do it more!"

"ZOMBIE!"

"VAMPIRE!"

"ZOMBIE!"

"VAMPIRE!"

"ZOMBIE!"

"VAMPIRE!"

"Mummy!"

Stahn and Rutee turned to look at Mary.

"Sorry… I just wanted to help…"

I took my glasses off. "Come on, you guys, there's food waiting!"

"FOOD?" Stahn turned grinning. "I want food!"

Leon looked at me for a minute as if seeing me for the first time.

"I've never seen you without your glasses…" He said in what seemed like awe. (Quiet, peasants, he doesn't pay attention after battles!)

"Oh? Is it that shocking?" I asked casually.

He made an odd noise then he flushed. "No! Of course not! Let's get going!" He led the way toward Hugo's mansion.

And Stahn thinks women are weird…

End of Philia's chapter! Heheh, Philia is quite different when she's thinking, eh? I like Philia, if you couldn't already tell. Sorry about Chelsea, I never got her so I don't know much about her… sigh
