The Seven Realms belongs to Cinda

Williams Chima.

Sat there as friends.

Han and Fiona sat there and hugged for a good while before letting go. Fiona helped Han on his feet, he was still a little sore but he'll manage. Han wanted to continue with the assignment But Fiona disagreed. "No, you are hurt. There forth, you can not continue with the lesson. We will continued our assignment tomorrow." Han wanted to protest but was too sore to argue. He nodded in agreement. Fiona smiled, knowing she won this argument, if it was one.

"Did you eat breakfast this morning?", she said. Han looked at her, "no... I woke up late so I didn't have time to eat." Fiona smiled happily, "then, how about I treat you to breakfast as an apology for blowing you away." Han was surprised. He didn't expect Fiona to offer him something nice. She never offer anything to Han before. "That's not necessary. You don't have to do that for me." Fiona's smile went blank, "You are right. I don't have to", she smiled again, "but I want to." Han couldn't help but agree. But with that said, Fiona grab Han's right arm and put it around her neck and her left arm around Han's waist to support him. Han wanted to walk himself, but he's leg felt sore to walk on so he let Fiona do it.

"What about the books?", Han said. Fiona looked at the books, "I will be back for them later. No one really comes here anyways, and do not worry about your stuff too. I'll bring them back for you later." Han didn't really trust Fiona with his stuff yet, but he had too. Fiona did bring her bag with her. The two of them left the garden, with Han being supported by Fiona. It was embarssing for Han, they walked through school grounds where there were students around. Many students saw the pair, they were either whispering nonsense or whistling at them.

"Are those two a thing now?" "They came from the dark garden, you don't think..." "Must've been kissing in the green house probably." "Nice one Alister." "Her and that thug... I don't believe it."

So many whispers. Han didn't care for any of the negativity towards him. Fiona though, did care. "Anybody who bad mouths Alister, will be frozen alive by me." Fiona said with a cold and scary voice. That shut everyone up, they turned away from the pair and went on to their daily lives. "Man... she can be scary sometimes." Han said.

Fiona and Han exited the school and proceeded to walk to a little cafe a few blocks from the school. On the way, there were still people staring at them. Fiona didn't care, and Han had to force himself to ignore them. As they reach the cafe, Fiona set Han on a chair to sit, she did the same. They sat outside of the cafe. Han sigh in relief that he doesn't have to keep standing anymore for a while. Once they were settled, a lady with red hair in a brown dress with a apron on, came to their table. "Welcome, my name is Stacy, what can I get you today?"

"May I have some tea please?", Fiona said. Stacy nodded, she looked at Han next. "What can I get you sweetie?" Han didn't know what to say, he never been here before. "Well um... what do people normally get from here?", he said to Stacy. "Well, people normally get either tea or our sandwiches. We have different types of sandwiches, our popular one will be the ham sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and the secret sauce." "Then I'll take that one then.", Han said. "Coming right up, I'll be back in a few.", Stacy said before waking away. Han looked back at Fiona"thank you, I'll pay you back somehow." Fiona giggled, "it's fine Alister, this is my apology to you so no payment necessary." A few minutes later, Stacy cane back with the tea and sandwich. "Here you go", she place the tea in front of Fiona and the sandwich in front of Han, "enjoy". She walked away.

Fiona took a sip from her tea while Han took a bite from his sandwich. Han went wide eye, "Wow! this is good." Fiona smiled happily, "That is good to hear." They proceeded to enjoy their meal and drink for a few minutes before finishing. Now they sat their with an empty plate and cup im front of them.

"So... how are you feeling Alister? Are you still sore from earlier?" Fiona said with concern. "I'm getting better, the soreness is fading away slowly.", He said. Fiona sigh in relief, "thank goodness. I was worried I have done permanent damage to your body." Han was still surprise that Fiona was worrying about him that much. He still thought if she was truly worried, or she was faking. But with how her body language is acting, it seem sincere. "I never knew you were this worried for me."

Fiona blushed a bit.

"Well... you are a good friend... and a good asset for my cause and..." Fiona didn't know what to say next. She never said anything nice to anyone, ever. Han was still surprise she was trying saying nice things. "Asset huh?", Han thought. "She wants to do her plan still. I wonder if I could get her to change her mind."

They continue talking for a while, mostly about books and magic. That's when Fiona brought up something that got Han interested. "Are you coming to the recital tonight? I heard it's gonna be big." Han remembered he was going there to see Cat perform, he swear it. "Yes, I'm going there to see someone." Fiona looked surprised. "Really? who?" Han saw Fiona's right hand, she was tapping her finger on the table, like she was anxious. Han felt he shouldn't tell her that him and Cat are going out but thought it would get worse if he kept it a secret for a while. He didn't want to tell Fiona because he was afraid she might do something to Cat. But then again, she might find out anyway and it's better to get it over with.

He hesitated a bit.

"I'm... I'm going to see my girlfriend perform at the recital. I swear to her I was gonna see her there." The tapping stopped. "Oh...", Fiona said while having a hurt look on her face. Han saw it, "great, another person I hurt." It didn't effect Han as much as Dancer's look, but he can still feel the burn. "Who is it?", said Fiona. Han was hesitant still but thought Fiona would find out anyways. "Um... it's uh... Cat Tyburn." Fiona now looked a bit confused. "You know, the Southern Islander that was with me and the one you keep calling copperhead at the messhall." Then it hit her. She remember a dark skin girl in temple clothes that was with Han and Dancer at the messhall in school. The girl would come from her temple school and eat with the two students in the messhall for wizards. Fiona also remember that when ever Han wasn't around, she would see Dancer and the temple girl talking to each other like they were secret lovers. That's what Fiona thought, she thought the two were walking out.

Guess she was wrong.

"I remember, the street ra- I mean... temple student. Yes, I have seen her." Fiona looked down at the table sadly. "What is she like? I never got to know her for well... obvious reasons." Han thought for a moment. It was kinda hard, they've been back together since last night. Back at Ragmarket, they were together for a short while. When they broke up, Cat hated Han. When they first came to Oden's Ford, they continue being friends. Han thought a little more, something came to mind.

Han and Cat's first meet. When they first met, Cat tried to mug Han. Han outsmarted her and knocked her to the ground. When they met up again, Cat went up to him and said, "no one has never beat me in a fight." Cat eyed him. "You're pretty quick on your feet. I bet you can pickpocket many strangers and out run them." She smirk and put her hand out, " How about we cause some trouble?" Han eyed her a bit. He thought, "why the hell now, better then looking for scraps for the family." Han grabbed her hand. Cat notice the sliver cuffs on both his wrist. "What's with the cuffs?" "Don't know, had them since... forever." Cat thought a moment. "What's your name?" "Han." "Han huh?" Cat then thought of something. "Imma call you Cuffs. My names Catarina, but you can call me Cat."

Since then, they became thick as thieves.

They would steal, cause trouble for the gaurds, went to the gaol together, and race on roof tops. When they realize that other children and teens their age were having it hard, they were willing to help. Not by doing good, by stealing from those above them. That's when they form the Raggers and Han became the streetlord. During their time in the Raggers, Han and Cat became very close. Cat got to meet Han's family, she first met Mari, Han's little sister. Cat would always play with her, draw with her and sing to her. Then she met Han's mother, Sali. Sali didn't enjoy Cat's company at first, but grew to like Cat like she was part of the family. Then Han got to meet Cat's mother. Cat's mother did not like Han, she didn't like streerlords. Always thinks they bring nothing but trouble. Cat's mom would always say to her, "never fall in love with a streetlord."

Unfortounly, Cat did.

Han and Cat were in their secret hideout in Pilfer Alley. It started to rain so they decided to stay in the hideout for the night. Han was on the floor counting the shares from pickpockets, while Cat was on the hay bed, sharpening her knives. During the course of their time together, Cat was falling for Han. She wanted to tell him but was afraid he might say no. But she had to do it anyways. "Hey Cuffs..." Han stopped counting and looked up at Cat. "Yeah?" Cat was hesitant. "What do you think of me? Like... what am I to you? She said bluntly. Han was put on the spot. How did he think about Cat? He thought for a moment and then...

"You're a good friend. You're funny, always crack up the best jokes. You're strong, won't back down from a fight, I admire that. You're fun to be around with. I never get tired of being with you. You're good with a knife, never lost a knife fight. You play the Basilka very well, It's so soothing that I can't help but relax to it. Lastly, you're a beautiful singer, your voice sounds very angelic." Han smiled. Cat felt really shocked but happy, she never knew Han would say something so nice to her. When she was overcome with joy, she got up from the bed and tackle Han to the floor and hugged him. Now it was Han's turn to be surprised. This kinda made him blushed a bit. He hugged her back. When Cat pulled away a little to see Han's face, she giggled.

And then she kissed him on the lips. Now Han was even more surprised. But he kissed her back. He manage to get up from the floor with Cat hugging him still, and went to the hay bed with her. He laid her down on the bed and continued kissing deeply. That night was nothing but a sweet memory them. They started to date, they got to know a lot from each other. Han knew what she like, to what she hate, to what she was scared about. Cat was also the same. Han took her out to places they she never been, like this big hill that had the view of Ragmarket, Southbridge, and the Fells. They were good together for a good while.

When they broke up, Han felt awful and Cat felt hurt.

When they went to Oden's Ford, they started being friends again. During those times before they got back together, Cat was still fun to be around with. She never got boring, and Han enjoyed her company. He missed being around Cat.

Back to present time.

When asked the question, "What is she like?", Han knew what to say.

"She's a good friend. She's really funny, always crack up the best jokes. She' very strong, won't back down from a fight and won't let anyone talk down to her, I admire that. She's fun to be around with, I never get tired of being with her. She's great with a knife, never lost a knife fight. She plays the Basilka very well, It's so soothing that I can't help but relax to it. She's a beautiful singer, her voice sounds very angelic. She's really pretty, I can't stop looking at her face. Her smile, man... like sunshine. Despite her tough personality, she can be loving and caring person." Han was beginning to smile. "Lastly, she knows me too well. That's what I love about her, she knows me, she knows my likes, my dislikes, my fears, my pain. Who would be dumb enough to not have someone like her at their side."

With that said, Fiona staired at Han speechless. Her hurtful look on her face was gone. Replace with a thoughtful look. "If she's someone like that, then how could I compete. Guess I lost this one." She smiled, still felt hurt but felt more happy for Han now. It was a weird feeling to her. She would think she would be angry and try to get Han back but she felt nothing like that.

She looked happy, which Han was surprise to see.

"Guess I can't compete. Oh well." Fiona shrugged. Han couldn't believe it, she was backing down for once. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Thanks." Fiona giggled, "No problem." They continued laughing for a bit when Fiona stopped and looked wide eye. Han was confused.

"Han", said a voice. Han looked back and went wide eyed as well.

"Cat!"

To be continued.

Wow, what a long story.

Or at least it took me a while to complete.

And for that little cliffhanger at the end, don't worry.

We're going back to Cat next chapter.

It might be short or long, depends how much story, backstory, or detail I'm gonna write.

Anyways, more to come.

Soon, hopefully.

Thank you for reading.

Goodbye.
