When we returned to the ship. I found Sion waiting for us. She smirked at us seeing me carrying master. I frowned at her. I didn't really want to see her now. I felt my good mood quickly disappear as she spoke up as soon as we entered the ship, "Oh? Carrying her Princess Style. ~" I glared at her. "Almost like what a knight would do for their Princess." She was having a field day. "What? No! you got it wrong Sion!" Master quickly spoke up to all the teasing she was doing. I could only glare at her. Her face deep red from the teasing.
Cute...
If nothing else, I was liking that her face was red again. "I'm sure Nemo just thought I wasn't well enough to walk on my own is all!" No... I just wanted to carry you. Not like I could say that out loud. "Sure." I said sarcastically. "See?" of course she didn't catch on. She never does. Sion sighed in disbelieve. "You still just don't get it do you?" She never would. I don't know if I should be happy about that or not. "Huh?" of course she could only look lost at Sion. "If you are done, Sion. I need to take Master to Nurse to make sure she is alright." it was excuse to get away from her. I'm sure she was sure of that as well. But she gave in and we when on our way. "Are we really going to see Nurse?"
"No of course not. I'm taking you to your room to rest." I was excuse to get away from that woman. But of course, she didn't get that. I wanted to touch her more. Hug her more. I think I still feel fearful over what happened. That's why I didn't want to let go of her right now. She didn't get it at all. The reason why I had been carrying her.
We entered her room, and I closed the door behind me, "Uh...I'm alright you can put me down you know." I ignored her and placed her on her bed. But as I soon as I did, I quickly hugged her. She gasped in Suprise. "Nemo?" I frowned as I cling onto her, "I was really worried. When I heard about the mage hunters in town I..." I rubbed my head against her. I was still fearful for her even if she wasn't in harm's way anymore. I had been so scared I would fail at protecting her. But I held that fear in as long as I could. But I couldn't any longer.
"But I'm alright." she tried to calm me down. "But if I had been any later than that..." I whispered to her. "But you made it. and you protected me just as you promised." I felt surprised she remembered that I promised her. But I felt kinda happy that she did too. "Sara." I felt her pat my head. "As I said I'm alright Nemo and that's thanks to you." She smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back. "So again, thank you." my face couldn't take it anymore. I hid it against her shoulder.
Master...I...
My face was bright red. She was safe. She was safe. I told myself over and over again. We didn't say anything to each other after that. We both just held each other laying on her bed like we did before our fight. It felt so nice. To be here again. To be here with her. Even if I wouldn't say it out loud, she is my Princess.
