The Reflections Saga - The World Through the Mirror

Part 6

The following morning Sage rustles in his sleep before his eyes start to slowly open from the light creeping in through the window, he softly mumbles in his sleep as his eyes slowly open. The blurry image of Eliza's face comes into focus a little to close for Sage's liking and he tries to shuffle back but notices her arms wrapped around him and can't. His rustling begins waking up Eliza and she lets go and sits up. Brushing the hair from her face she yawns before looking at Sage, "morning, you sleep well?" She asked in a soft tone.

Sage is taken back by the question and just sits there a second unable to come up with an answer until, "oh... yes, I slept okay, thank you," he whispers softly. He start examining her as a soft smirk crosses her face, he's curious how such a sweet looking person can have such a gloomy aura and feels it around him almost like an encroaching damp. The simple fact that people have such power to effect those around them baffles Sage. He's about to start asking questions before he feels his face turn bright red as her hand reaches out and caresses the side of his face and she moves in closer to him only stopping, once he jolts backwards in the bed slightly.

Eliza chuckling softly, "wow you're so adorable, it's quite funny how easily flustered you get." She starts to chuckle a bit louder which is followed by a somewhat louder rustling. The pair look over and watch as Snow rustles in their bed as they get up.

Snow throwing the covers of themselves looks up rubbing their eyes before looking confused over at Sage's bed and spots the pair. Upon the realisation of what they're seeing, they start trying to process and begin to question, "um, Sage...who's that?"

Sage turns a brighter shade of red as he grabs a pillow and buries his face into it fully aware of what Snow is thinking. He can barley process the situation as Eliza is just giggling at the situation. She begins to pick up and explains to Snow that there is nothing going on between the pair. She pulls the pillow away from Sage just to see his face and laugh at him a bit, and she even teases him slightly for it.

Snow having wrapped their head around the explanation decides to introduce themselves to Eliza. They all sit on their beds before noticing Rain's missing but Snow doesn't question as it's pretty standard for him not to be in bed, before realizing they don't have much time before the kitchen opens for breakfast. "I guess we need to get cleaned up and chan...," Snow begins saying before they're cut of by Eliza taking her top off as she grabs a towel from her bag.

Sage and Snow divert their gaze as she continues to strip down with no regards for either of the pair currently trying to distract themselves from the naked female in the room. Suddenly Sage is distracted by the sound of Rain's growl getting closer and watches as he enters the room with a towel draped over his shoulders. Rain looking at the scene before him confused, "what in the infinite hells is this?" He questions loudly.

Eliza is taken back by Rain as he walks in, "are you not as shy as these two?" She asks as she walks up to him and wraps her arms around his neck pulling herself closer to him, pressing her body against his.

Rain feels a growl build but restrains it, "I honestly couldn't give a dam if you walked around the whole place naked," he replies to her question. Rain then looks over at the others, "I understand if your shy but the downside of roommates is you might see something like this at some point, so you might as well turn around," he explains as he watches the pair turn around still a little shy. Rain's gaze returns to Eliza as his hand reaches her waist, he gives her a rough shove before tossing a towel at her, "I guess the pair of us have no qualms about this sort of thing but the others do, so control yourself in the future, alright," he explains in a strangely calm tone.

Sage manages to compose himself a little as he stares at the floor shyly but decides to look up at the others and notices Rain is shirtless and begins to notice the amalgam of scars across his body and feels a slight sadness about how much pain he's been through.
