Friendship Chapter 3:
"So, what's your name kid?" Lloyd asked to him while sitting grabbing a chair and put it nearby my bed.
"M-My name is Mithos" he answered.
"Hi Mithos! Nice to meet you, I'm Lloyd. I'm Genis' best friend,"
"Best friend?" Mithos said looking at me. I nodded, then he asked, "You're a human, right Lloyd?"
"Huh? Yeah, I'm a human, why?" he asked intrigued.
"Nothing." he said with straight face then looked away, I bet he couldn't believe he was my best friend. Damn discrimination.
"So Mithos," Lloyd began, "Are you hungry?"
"No, I'm fine. Thank you."
"Oh, okay. Then I'll leave you two alone. Nice to meet you, kid." Mithos smiled and nodded. As Lloyd leaved, he returned to his straight face and asked, "Is he really your best friend?"
"Eh? Yeah, I think."
"You're not sure?"
"I really don't want to go there, please." he nodded.
At that moment, Raine entered to my room, "Genis? Lloyd told me the boy woke up," when she saw him she smiled then she sat on the chair which Lloyd was sitting before, "Thank goddess Martel you're okay," Mithos frowned a little when he heard that. I wonder why, "I'm Raine, I'm the one who healed you, are you alright?" she touched his forehead. He nodded and remained silent.
"Where's everyone?" I suddenly asked.
"I think they're all sleeping by now, even Lloyd went to his room, but Zelos still doesn't arrive. Why?"
"I… had to tell you something about him," I looked at Mithos, his eyes widened. "He… he's a half-elf…"
"He's a-!"
"Shh, not too loud." I whispered.
She composed herself then said, "That's why you want to help him so bad?"
"I- M-Maybe…" Was it true? I was helping him for that reason? But at the time we found him I didn't know he was a half-elf.
"It's okay Genis, I understand you," she touched my shoulder. "I know you want to do this because of what we've been through," she comfortingly smiled. I guess that's true. I got the feeling I'm watching myself when I'm seeing him. He's been through the same we did.
I looked at Mithos who has been silent the whole time. He was watching at his fingers that were intertwined with each other with a sad looking face.
I touched his shoulder, gaining his attention and smiled at him.
He smiled too.
This is gonna be a long night.
Short. I know, but two updates on a week is a strange coming from me.
Thanks to diety for being my one and only reviewer. Yey! :D
