Chapter 2
""Bye! See you!""
""Sorry I cant hang around""
""Later!!""
Cleru shut the door after saying a dozen goodbyes to his friends. ""Hey Pratty where are you going?"" Cleru said as he spotted his sister tiptoeing to the back door.
""Huh? Oh Im going to buy chocolates for the festival tomorrow!"" Pratty let out an uneasy laugh.
""Sigh! Are you sure? With all the bandit raids its barely safe even for me""
""Please! Its just for a few blocks!! The candy store is just over by the outskirts of the gold guild!!"" Pratty pleaded cleru.
""Fine! But we should get you some company……Sugar can you go with Pratty?"" Cleru asked his guardian beast who was busy sewing something.
""I don't think so Master…"" Sugar Looked up with an embarrassed smile.
""sigh!...wait did you say that the store is just right over the gold guild?"" Cleru asked as his eyes lit up.
""Well yeah! Its not that faraway…about 4 streets from the goldguild.""
""then I know who your company will be……look, head over to the gold guild and look for varil….I'll just give him a call in advance."" Cleru got his phone and punched in some numbers furiously.
""Okay!! Bye Cleru!!"" Pratty bed him goodbye as she opened the door and shut it as she left.
--and so...
Pratty opened the huge door of the gold guild and stepped in where she was greeted by Varil's servant….Nigelle.
""Why Hello there Miss Pratty, what would you be here for?"" Nigelle kindly greeted her with a smile.
""Im here for Varil"" Pratty said innocently.
Nigelle showed a sly and alluring smile before gesturing Pratty upstairs to Varil's bedroom.
The young craftknight made her way above twisty stairs to reach her friend's bedroom.
""Hey Varil! Its me Pratty!""
The door flung open and there appeared the blonde craftknight looking pissed off.
""I knew you were coming"" Varil said as he gestured Pratty to a nearby chair. ""Cleru called right after you barged in"".
"" I didn't barge in! I even told you it was me"" Pratty retorted as she sat down. ""ooooohhhh! Your room looks so cool!"" Pratty changed the subject after noticing that varil's room was even better than usual.
""tsk tsk, what a short attention span you have there.."" Varil reached for something.
""so when are we leaving?"" Pratty asked
"" Just a minute!...hey can you get the comb from under my pillow??"" varil stated completely ignoring pratty's question.
Pratty rolled her eyes as she looked under his pillow, then she caught something.
""Hey Varil! Isn't this the scarf I gave you when we were still 8 years old?"" Pratty asked cheerfully while holding out a white and silver scarf.
""Hey! I was just telling you to get the comb!! Not to rummage in my stuff!!"" Varil snatched the scarf and glared at her.
""well it was under your pillow, so I thought….."" Pratty paused for a moment. ""so you really treasure gifts from friends right?? Cleru just trades his on the market…..did razzy see….""
(jeez! This girl really is a lowlife)..Varil thought to himself as he pushed Pratty out the door. ""alright! Get out! Lets get going before you start destroying my room""
--meanwhile...
The door boomed open as Cleru ran out with an exaggerating look in his face.
""Master I think your overreacting!! My cooking is not that bad!"" Sugar said annoyed
""No it isn't sorry sugar!!"" Cleru smiled faintly while still having that weird look on his face.
""Sigh!! I really want to make a valentines feast for Miss Pratty"" sugar threw her ladle aside and slumped down the chair.
""Um no problem Sugar!! I'll cook for you!!"".
""Thank you master! Though its not really correct! In normal family the wife is normally the one who cooks!"" Sugar smiled as she started pulling out more bowls for Cleru.
""I think it's a bit early for that"" Cleru replied blushing slightly.
--back to Pratty...
""ah! Thanks for helping me out Varil!"" Pratty stretched out her arms as she walked along the pavement with Varil.
The two finally reached the gold guild.
"well thanks a lot varil!"" Pratty smiled.
""Its getting dark, be careful Pratty"" Varil said as he opened the door.
""If you really want her to be careful I propose you walk her home"" Libody appeared from the door as he smiled at Varil and Pratty.
""Oh that wont be necessary! But thank you! Really!"" Pratty smiled shyly as she moved back.
""I insist son! You walk Pratty home! Theres supposedly a bandit raid during these hours…you cant let a defenseless girl walk alone"" Libody smiled.
Nigelle appeared from the doorway and said. ""Pratty might get hurt….and cleru ,might accuse you"" he seemed to be enjoying herself.
""Oh for…..Parista's sake…. Alright! Come one Pratty!"" Varil readied his spear before grabbing pratty's hand and pushing her out.
""Hold on Sugar! I'll get the door!"" Cleru moved to the door and opened it revealing Pratty and varil outside.
--a few minutes later...
""Oh Pratty your finally her! And Varil you walked her home?? What a gentleman.."" Cleru smiled slyly pulling both of them in.
"'I did it cause father and Nigelle told me too."" Varil replied calmly.
Suddenly the rain boomed out.
""oh great! I didn't bring an umbrella!"" Varil murmured.
""then stay here for the night!! Sanary and Razzy are here aswell!"" Cleru said gesturing Him in.
