Lea Andrews: Ok Colette, Do the disclaimer, please.
Colette: Alright, Lea! Lea Andrews dose not own anything. Was that good?
Lea Andrews: Yeah, that will work.
Colette: Yay!
Lyn put in the reservations, bought a good sword with a jewel in the hilt, and 3 new outfits, and a pretty blue dress. She was very excited to finally have a job that was recommended by someone with high class! On top of that, she still had a lot of money left over! I better wash up and change before he meets me, she thought, it would give a bad impression otherwise. She ran down the street and didn't stop at the corner when "WHAM!!!" she had hit someone and fell on the ground, ripping her old dress at the knee. "Oh dear. I am so sorry!" she said sitting up. "It's my fault. I…" Lyn started, glaring at him, rubbing his head.
"It's alright, I'm fine. Do you need help?" he asked.
"Wait… reddish brown hair, purple outfit, are you Kratos?" she asked.
"Yes, but how do you know my name? I've never seen you before." He lied.
"Oh, right. A gentleman named Yuan said you needed a guide to Isalia. I really, really need a job and I know the area. He even gave me money to get a hotel room and things for traveling." Lyn smiled, but Kratos looked at her like she was crazy and said nothing. Lyn suddenly remembered her haggard appearance. Well, he's probably thinking that I'm clumsy and I hurt myself a lot. Man, this isn't good…she thought I think I just lost another job. Kratos glared at her and thought. Ha. Ha. Very funny Yuan… I swear that when this is over, I'm going to kill him. Kratos sighed.
"I'm sorry if my friend railed you up. I wasn't particularly thinking of having a companion. Let me… think it over." He said, walking off.
"Wait!" She yelled, desperately. Kratos stopped and looked at her with his ice cold eyes.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Um, well, I already put in reservations for the two of us. There are no more rooms left, either. At least allow me to get you a room for the night for running into you and... uh… using up your time, sir…" Lyn said with sweat running down her face.
"Alright." Kratos said, "I'm going to settle some business, and I'll meet you there. I've already eaten, so you might want to while I'm gone."
"Ok. I will tell the inn keeper that I'm expecting you." Lyn smiled.
"Do that." He said, walking off. I don't know what to think…She thought. Was it a rejection? Oh well. I guess it means I'm looking for a new job. But, hay. I got a lot of gald off of it! She smiled and headed back into town to get food after realizing that she was starving.
------------------------------------
Lyn came back from the nearby cafeteria carrying a variety of ingredients. When she got to the inn, she checked in, and told the man at the front desk she was expecting a "Kratos." Afterwards, she started cooking, ate, and then went to the spa to take a bath. On the way, many people stared at her, wondering how someone who looked like she did could even afford a room. It made her feel uncomfortable…
After an hour and a half of cleaning herself thoroughly, she dried herself off, and changed into one of her new outfits. When walking back to her room, she got more stares, but she couldn't make out the expression everyone made. She walked back up to the room and sat on her bed. It was already dark, and Lyn lit the only light in the room, a dim candle. She stared at the other bed to her right and wondered when Kratos would get back. She sighed and started drying her golden hair under the dull light.
The door slowly creaked open in the dim room. A dark figure walked in and threw his sword on the chair. He sat down on the far bed, looking out of the window. "So," he started, "What's your name?"
"Lyn." She said, "Call me Lyn"
"Well, Lyn, I have gone to the dock and reserved two tickets to Izoold. You may accompany me as my guide." Grunted Kratos.
"Really? Thank you!" Lyn smiled.
"Well, you better get to sleep tonight. I'm hoping to reach Triet in two days. From there, we will travel north to Isalia."
"Ok. I'll go to sleep then." She sighed, brushing her hair, and then crawling into her own bed. Kratos just sat and stared out of the window at the stars. I want to ask him so many things, Lyn thought, but what? Lyn finally gave up on thinking and went to sleep, covering her head with her blankets.
------------------------------------------
"Lyn! Lyn, wake up." Yelled Kratos, shaking her awake. Lyn opened her eyes to find herself still covered by her blanket. She finally got up to face the sun, and rubbed her eyes.
"I'm up, I'm up." She yawned. Kratos looked at her as if he had just seen a zombie. He almost seemed to have a look of horror, but it was well concealed by his cold eyes. "What's the look for? Did I do something wrong? Did we miss the ship?" Lyn said hastily. Why is he looking at me like that? She thought uncomfortably. Kratos said nothing, but though. My God, it's Mira! That's not possible! She died didn't she!? Dammit, Yuan, I'm going to kill you for this!
"Is it something on my face? I took a bath last night and everyone has been staring at me. Um… Kratos?"
"Yes."
"You're scarring me." Lyn said, jumping up, and starting to braid her hair.
"Could you not braid your hair?" He asked.
"Um… Sure?" Lyn stuttered, putting it in a pony tail instead.
------------------------------------------
The trip to Triet went faster then expected. On the way, Kratos hardly said a word. Even so, he gave Lyn some lessons in swordsmanship and magic. Lyn was confused because she felt like she had done everything before, and it bothered her because she felt as if she had done it 1,000,000 times better then. Kratos still said nothing. After a day and a half, they reached Triet.
