Summary: Never in my life have I enjoyed to have a talk with anyone before, then what made that talk with you so enjoyable? A side story of 'Puff of Lime'.
Hi everybody. This is chapter 2 of this story. I hope you like this chapter.
"Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating."
Charlie Kaufman
Previous Chapter. Someone from the Past.
She was silent like I expected. She looked at Tir thoughtfully. And, I could see in her eyes written 'I don't know if I can help'. She looked unsure, scared and hesitated.
I looked at Tir, but he did not seem to notice what she wanted to say.
I stood up and said.
"Tir, we don't need any more help," I said.
"But, Luc..."
"I don't think she can help us." I dragged him out of the room.
After we were far away from there, I stopped to drag him. Tir looked at me weirdly.
"Luc, that was rude to leave like that," Tir said.
I did not care about that and left to go back to my place.
Chapter 2. Parting and Meeting.
A few days had passed since that meeting with her along with Tir, and tomorrow we will attack Gregminster and eventually end the war. And, finally, I can go back to Magician's Island.
I was walking towards the roof at night, then, I saw her again there. She did not look at the lake but directly at me. She looked like she was expecting me. She looked sad. I walked closer to her.
"I am sorry about our last meeting." I was surprised by my own words.
In her eyes, I saw 'I am not sad because of that'
"I know you don't sad because of that," I said. "I just think I need to apologize."
She looked at the lake then back at me, in her eyes written 'I was afraid'.
"I know. That's why I dragged Tir away from you because I know you couldn't refuse his request." I stated.
She looked surprised. Then, I saw in her eyes 'thank you'.
I looked away and stared at the lake. "It's okay."
Then, I remember that time when she just suddenly missing, so I turned back to her. To my relieved, she was still there.
"You know, you kind of freaking me out, when you suddenly missing when we first met," I stated.
She made a face. She looked amused but tried to hold her laughter. Then, she looked at me and I saw in her eyes 'I am sorry' playfully.
I rolled my eyes. "Just promise me, don't do that again to me. I almost thought that you're a ghost."
Then, I saw in her eyes 'I promise'.
I looked up and gazed at the stars. I felt weird that I was actually talking to her and it was even weirder when I was the one who did the talking while she did not make a sound at all.

The next day, we went to battle and like the last time, I saw her at the roof from the ship. She was smiling and once again in her eyes I saw 'good luck' but she looked kind of sad. And for once I promise myself I will win the battle. Of course, we did win and survived the battle. And, the war was finally over.
I was standing beside the Stone Tablet, alone as always because everybody was celebrating the end of the war. I prepared to leave, but then I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw her with her blue cape. She walked closer to me and offered a hand for me to shake. I shook her hand and looked at her eyes, I saw 'goodbye'.
I was surprised, she knew I will leave and that was the reason she was sad. And, that kind of made me sad too. Then, I saw in her eyes 'will we meet again?'
"I don't know." I looked down.
She let go of my hand, I looked up and saw in her eyes 'I am glad to have you as my friend'.
I kind of surprised. Were we friends?
Then, in her eyes, I saw 'I hope we will meet again someday'. She smiled then walked away. I just stood there and saw her left.
I was back to Magician's Island and went back to the usual chores Lady Leknaat ordered me to do. Every day passed without something new happened. I kind of hope there was someone to talk to.
Until one day Lady Leknaat called me.
{G~S~II}
SY 460.
I did not know if I should felt annoyed or happy that Lady Leknaat ordered me to participate in another war. Whatever I felt, here I was standing beside another Stone Tablet. To my annoyance, I did not have the place for myself. There was Oulan standing not far from the Stone Tablet, and the scatterbrained girl, Viki stood on the corner.
Today I was with the other party members. We were walking towards Radat when we found it was occupied by the Highland. We were spotted by the enemy, a man named Klaus, I did not really pay attention because I was looking around the village. Then, I noticed someone among the Highland soldiers. A girl with long ebony hair in a side-swept ponytail. My eyes widened, I was sure that was her. She then looked at my direction and noticed me. She also looked shocked.
After we were back at the castle, I could not erase the thought of her from my head. Is she a Highlander?
{G~S~II}
I thought I could finally confront her when we defeated Kiba and Klaus and got them as allies. But, I could not find her, so at night I went to Kiba and Klaus's room to eavesdrop on their conversation, maybe they will talk about her and I was right.
I was good at sneaking around, so it was not a problem for me.
I arrived in front of their room, then I tried to listen to their conversation.
"Klaus, do you see, Eden?"
"No, Father. She's just like to appear and disappear on her own."
"That girl, I hope she isn't going back to Highland."
I left when I heard footsteps and I went back to my spot beside the Stone Tablet.
{G~S~II}
The next morning I saw someone that seemed familiar. He walked closer to me.
"Hi, Luc, I don't know you also end up in this war." He said.
"Who are you?" I asked.
He looked surprised. "You don't remember me! I am Sheena."
So, he was that playboy.
"By the way, did you see her?" Sheena asked.
I raised my eyebrows. "Who?"
"You know her, the pretty silent girl," Sheena stated. "I saw her just now, her hairstyle is different than 3 years ago, but she is prettier. So, did you see her?"
I was not listening to him. Did he mean Eden? I left my spot and ignore Sheena's call.
I have to find her. I did not know why I just need to.
I went to the roof because it was the only place I could think of. But, I did not find her there. I looked around the castle from there, but still, I did not see her. Suddenly, there was a puff of wind came from my back. I turned around and saw Feather just landed in his usual place. Then, a girl dismounted from him and jumped to my place.
She looked up and noticed me. She looked shocked and nervous. Her eyes were moving around as if looking for something.
I grabbed her arm to prevent her from running away because I could see in her eyes she wanted to run. But, I also could see she was trying to not run.
"Why are you in Radat that time?" I asked. "Are you a Highlander?"
She looked at me and I saw in her eyes 'I am sorry that I didn't tell you'.
I sighed and let go of her arm.
"So, you are a Highlander," I stated. "Are you also a part of the army?"
She shook her head. I raised my eyebrows.
"Then, what are you doing in Radat?" I asked.
She looked at me, but I saw nothing in her eyes. I thought maybe it's because she did not want to tell me. So, I dropped it, everyone did have a secret.
"Whatever, I don't need to know," I said.
She looked happy and I saw in her eyes 'thank you'. I walked away to leave, but before I left I looked at her and I saw written in her eyes 'I glad to meet you again'. I only smiled then left.
I actually feel glad to meet her again, but I just feel I couldn't say it, and I always regret it.
{G~S~II}
That night I went to the roof to talk with Eden. She was all ears to me.
"It was really annoying," I stated. "Why did it have to be me?"
"Seriously, I don't even know how did I survive it?" I stated.
She was smiling at me and in her eyes, I saw 'it must be fun'.
"Don't you hear me, it was really annoying," I stated. "You think my time as a Greenhill student was fun."
She was still smiling.
"I don't understand you," I remarked.
I was silent but from her eyes, I knew that she wanted me to tell her another story.
"You know, I am still confused about why you had to hide from everyone else," I stated. "Only I and Feather that know you are actually live in this castle."
She looked away from me. I sighed.
"You don't have to tell me," I stated.
She smiled and from her eyes, I saw 'tell me another story'.
"Fine. You know people here call me 'pretty boy' along with Futch and Sasuke." I began. "I don't know why though."
I looked at her and I saw in her eyes 'you did look pretty'.
"Shut up," I said with a glare.
Then, she laughed without a sound, and I realized my mistake. She never did say anything, why would I tell her to shut up. I felt embarrassed by it.
"Well, anyway, Futch and Sasuke started to ask me to hang around with them and that was really annoying. Can they just leave me alone?" I stated.
She stopped to laughed and looked at me and I saw in her eyes 'they just want to be friend with you'.
"I don't need friend," I stated.
She looked at me intensely and I saw 'you just don't want to admit it'. I stared at her to prove she was wrong.
She gave up and I saw in her eyes 'fine, just tell me another story'.
"All right, there were these girls Nanami and Viki, both of them really annoyed me," I stated. "Nanami is so loud and often made me mad. Then, Viki, she just, I can't stand her, how could someone so scatterbrained like her exist?"
I was blabbing for only the god knows how long. Then, she smiled and gave me a knowing look. I stopped to talk.
"What?" I asked.
She smiled knowingly. I saw in her eyes 'you like them'.
"What! That's not true." I denied. "Did you have hearing trouble? I said clearly both of them annoyed me."
Her smile was widened, which made me felt more confused and annoyed. Then in her eyes, I saw 'whatever you said'.
I rolled my eyes. "Nothing of that sort happens between us, you understand."
She smiled and in her eyes written 'I understand' playfully.
I sighed. What was she thinking?
Then, I smiled knowingly. She looked curiously at me.
"I understand now," I smirked.
She became nervous.
"You like him, don't you," I stated.
She blushed and that was enough to prove it.
I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please be kind to me and review it. Thank you for reading my fan fiction.
