Sigh, how many times do I have to say this disclaimer thing...? ~o~

After the shocking incident earlier, she now considered herself as an outsider among the rest of us. That night, everyone is talking happily except Lire. She did not made any comment while we're all eating and talking together.
Months passed and, the blonde archer continued to act like a mute person. She must be thinking that we're still angry at her for what she did to Lass. She's not even joining the others whenever they have a mission. It's very unlike her. Few months before the incident took place; she's very alert and always joins the others in their mission.
Many times happened when I saw Ryan pleading Lire to join a mission with him and the others. The yellow-haired nova, however, declined to his offer again. All of us know that Ryan loves Lire and will do everything to love him back. It was obvious, of course, because of his actions towards her, always cheering her up and taking good care of her. The orange-haired druid, however, doesn't give up even if Lire declined his offers many times. Ryan's very determined of himself that Lire will come out of her trance-self and that she'll return all of the very good things he did to her.
One day, I planned to talk to Lire to return her old-self back. While I told about my plan to Lass, he said, "Fine with me. I don't even care about what happened a few months ago. Tell her I forgive her." I smiled and gave him a warm hug before going at the castle's 2nd floor. That's where her room's located.
Seeing the yellow door with the name "Lire" written in the front, I knocked and said, "Lire, this is Arme. I want to speak to you." I'm very sure she'll just ignore me.
"Mmhhhmm..." was all the blonde archer said, indicating that I can now go inside and talk to her. Turning the golden knob sideways, I entered her tidy room. The bed was located at the center of the room; the green blanket looks as if it's ironed. The medium-sized cabinet is standing beside the bed and a bench rested itself beside the nearest open window. Her room looks very bright, for the bright sun shining above and some sunlight filtered her yellow room. Lire sat on the bench, not making any reply as if she didn't heard anything. Her jade orbs focused on the training grounds below. I approached her and stared at the training grounds as well. As usual, Elesis and Ronan are sparring together. Sieghart was sleeping under a tree. Lass was also doing thing but he was sleeping on top of a tree branch. Ryan was nowhere to be seen. He must be tending the plants in the greenhouse. Amy and Jin are nowhere to be seen as well. Maybe Amy's composing another music while Jin stared at her with dreamy eyes.
A gentle breeze passed by, our hair flying as the wind passed by the two of us, sending some few cherry blossom petals to fall down below the grassy grounds. "What do you want now?" she asked me in a harsh tone. Lire didn't even turned to face me but it was obvious she's annoyed.
I looked at her sadly. "Can you please return to your old-self?" I asked in a pleading voice.
The emerald-orbed girl continued to watch the others below. I gave a sigh, telling myself not to give up quickly. A moment passed and the archer spoke again. "Return? To my old self? That's impossible." the coldness of her voice flowed inside her room. Her room might be bright but she isn't bright like the sun... She isn't happy like the sun...
Lire chuckled mockingly but didn't turned to face me, however. "You ALL miss the old me? You must be kidding. Why would every one of you miss the old Lire if you all knew what I did to Lass? I already did something he wouldn't like to happen in his whole life and you still all miss the old me?" her voice's shaking. I noticed as well that there were small tears forming at the corner of her jade eyes. Lire bit her lip hard to control her urge to cry in front of me.
"You know, all of this wouldn't happen if you thought of that idea. You know well that Lass doesn't like us to question him about his past. And you still have the nerve to blackmail him? That's very unlike you, you know that... That isn't the attitude of the Lire I knew well... Please return to your old self..." a small frown made its way to my face. Sighing, I said, "If you know, that happened a few months ago. Past is past. We forgive you already." now it's getting emotional here... I hate being an emotional magician...
To lessen the tension, I said, "If you want proof that we forgave you, let's go down. Lass told me earlier that he wanted to talk to you privately." with that, I took her arm and led her out of the room to the training grounds.
We arrived the training grounds and Lire still doesn't show any feelings. A loud yell of Lass' name might get her attention. "LASS!" I exclaimed and the two sparring knights turned their attention to the blonde archer and me.
Sieghart was busy with his dream to hear me. "Hmm... Uuuugggghhh... Prepare yourself Thanatos...! We... will finish you...!" with that, his feet began making movements like he's running the hell out of him, his arm pointing at the front door of the castle. All of us sweat dropped and left him with Thanatos in his dream.
Hearing a short gasp from the emerald-eyed elf, I smiled slightly. My eyes were focused on the branch where Lass' busy taking his nap. Moments later, we both saw him stretching his arms upward and forward. Opening his cerulean irises that glimmered from the bright sunlight, he stared at the two of us shortly before jumping down to the grassy ground.
As the silver-haired thief approached us, he asked, "Thanks for bringing Lire here." a slight tingle of jealousy pierced right through me. Shaking my head out of those horrid thoughts, I smiled and walked away, leaving the two of them talking there. I don't need to be jealous. I'm very sure Lass loves me now.
Entering my room, I felt myself feeling a little tired. Sighing, I lied down on my bed and took a nap.
