When Cactier was grabbing the two bowls of cooked snakes he heard a voice calling his name. When he turned his head to look he found Sunburn gesturing him to follow her.
Cactier did a little juggle motion with his hands before quickly following behind Sunburn. Her face contained a trace of displeasure, which made Cactier shiver in fear. While he was wondering what he had done wrong, Sunburn was seething.
What had happen was that the idiot bartender had denied the possibility of her actually completing the mission and immediately assumed she was bluffing when she said although she could complete the mission she didn't want to.
Her fury intensified when he had told her to go play with her friends.
She wasn't just a dragonet. She became even more furious when she saw the way he looked at her, as if she was beneath him. Anger brew inside of her just thinking about it.
Finally, they had arrived at the large building. When she entered she hadn't noticed but when she looked a bit closer she found out that the building had a name. It was called Assassin's Gathering.
Quite the literal name, she muttered in her mind.
"Cactier wait here for a second. When I call your name you come in, ok?" Sunburn said, with a made tone.
"O-ok" Cactier whispered master under his breath but Sunburn had already entered, no longer sparing him a single glance. He had a feeling of disappointment brew inside of him without his awareness.
When Sunburn entered she stormed towards Python with a typical angry dragonet expression. The chatter shrouded her ears and laughter clouded her mind.
Python was talking with a customer before spotting the fuming SandWing dragonet and smiled sweetly. He stopped talking with the customer and looked at Sunburn with an amused expression.
"Are you back with Cactier, Miss? How come I can't manage to find him?"
Python laughed, mocking the fact Sunburn's buff was blown. The customer that Python had just talked to also muffled a small chuckle.
Sunburn didn't take the laughing well.
She then shouted with all her might "CACTIER!"
A handsome male SandWing stumbled through the door, blushing. He was having a heated debate with the voice in his head when Sunburn's call had brought him back to reality.
"You called?" Cactier put up a strong front, not wanting to embarrass himself and Sunburn. He puffed up his chest and everything.
When he entered two shocked dragons greeted him. Their jaws were practically touching the table and their eyes widen to the point where you could barely see the pupils.
He slowly approached Sunburns and asked with concern, "Are they ok?"
Sunburn slammed the mission paper on the table before leaving. She sneered at Python before shut the door violently.
Cactier was left wondering why she had suddenly left, and right after she had called him too.
He didn't think much of it be scurrying to follow her like a scavenger.
Python and the customer were left stupefied.
The sun was shining above them as they rushed out of Assassin's Gathering.
Cactier walked behind Sunburn meekly. He was afraid he was going to stir up her emotions.
However to his surprised, she turned to him and suddenly smiled a toothy grin. He wasn't prepared when she shouted at him, filled with happiness.
"That was great! Did you see their faces! HAHAHA! I almost had to laugh right then and there. And your entrance was sooooooo good!
Cactier smiled back, unable to comprehend what had just happened. Was this dragonet the same dragonet that mercilessly killed those dragons? Did she just have huge mood swings? He found that he was getting confused very often now.
Sunburn had realized that she was getting too excited. She coughed a few times before saying in an attitude opposite of her previous one.
"B-but it wasn't that good, you know?" She said seriously.
This made Cactier's image of her completely dissipate. He couldn't hold it in and laughed for a minute or two. He liked this version of her much more.
"S-shut up!" Sunburn shouted, with a blushing, red face. She smacked Cactier and stormed off.
Cactier let out a small chuckle at how adorable she was.
Maybe, just maybe, these 5 years weren't going to be so bad.
