It had been two days so far sense Master started to avoid me. I know this whole thing is my fault but still I can't keep this up much longer. I'm sure others have noticed how depressed I am. "Captain, are we still heading off to that port? because we are a bit off course."

"Uh yes sorry."

"Is Captain alright?"

"He appears a bit absent minded lately."

I sighed of course I wasn't doing well to hide it as well. It had only been two days but felt much longer than that. I did apology to her even if it wasn't the way I wanted too. I had to wait and hide myself in spirit form to make it happen sadly. This wasn't the way I wanted to do this. but she would run from me every time she heard me or saw me. So I didn't really have any other way around it. I waited for her to enter the bathroom for a shower before I made myself live spirit form. I sat right outside the door and waited until I heard the water turn on. I couldn't hide the blush across my face listening to the water run.

I slowly spoke up to her, "Master." I'm sure she was shocked to hear my voice. When she had been avoiding me as much as she could. "Please I just ask you to listen that's it." I plainly told her. I only heard silent in return but I when on anyways. "I'm sorry. I don't know if apologizing to you is enough. No, it clearly isn't." I told myself, "But...I'm sorry for asking about a horrible time in your life where those scars will never heal. But I never wanted to hurt you. I just..." I cut myself off. No now was the time to be truthful with her. "I just wanted to know more about you, that's all." I plainly told her. It was the truth. I wanted her to at least know why I asked.

"Nemo." I spoke up after I spoke to her. "Yes?"

"Did you ever find me annoying?"

Why would she even ask that?

"No of course not." why would she? "I could never find you annoying."

"I see." that was the end of that. I didn't hear anything else from her and I left shortly after that. Leaving her alone again as she wanted. I was hoping explaining myself to her would help things, but it appears it didn't change much. she was still avoiding me. I let out a heavy sigh as the boat slowly entered port. We had to stop here before heading off to the next lost belt. We're running low on some items, and this was the closest port on the way to restock. I gave orders to the marines of where they needed to go as they quickly took off. After checking on the other Nemos that would be staying on the ship here I left the ship to look for some restock items as well. I found out from one of the Marines Sion and Sara when into the town of the port together. I sighed, "Still avoiding me." I was still disappointed, but she still needed time. I know I couldn't push things even if I wanted too. As things stood now, I did everything I could.

Master...

The last two days had been hard to sleep at all. I wasn't used too sleeping in my own room anymore. I guess that would be a bad thing, right? I also wasn't used to waking up and being by myself. I shook those thoughts out of my head. Right now, I had other things to take care of. I started my rounds checking on the Marines. So far things were going well but it was easy to tell some of the villagers and shop keeps appeared to be nervous over something. From how nervous they were all were it would make sense to get everything we needed and leave as soon as we could. There could be trouble here we don't need after all. I was starting to feel worried over Master being in town as well. I sent a Marine after her just to be safe. I would have gone myself if I hasn't been checking in on the others in the port. "Its most likely good you are just stocking and leaving." one of the shops keeps spoke up to me. Hearing that wasn't helping my worries I was having. "Is there trouble around here?"

"Lately there have been a shady group going around nearby."

"Shady group?"

"Yes, but it isn't like any of us have to worry really. I heard they are part of an old group of Mage Hunters around. But they shouldn't do anything sense there isn't any mages around." I stared at her. No... No I had to hear her wrong. She didn't say that. I told myself. Yes, I had too. Because if I heard her right...Master in serious danger. "W-What did you just say?" I asked double checking. "What did you not hear me? I said they are part of the Mage hunters. But you don't need to worry." As soon she said that again I took off running.

No. No... No!

Being a Mage is dangerous. Master once told me. You are just hated for being one. Even if you aren't doing a thing. It's a very dangerous life. Master!
