Sky Islands : Anticipation.

Chapter 10: The Fourth Shard Was Found.

The White Void Faded as the curtains move away from Tari's eyes as she quickly gets up hating the sun in her eye, she turns to Ivory and sees her fast asleep still, she scoffs and shakes her shoulders. "Ivy. Wake up." She said not being bothered to continue doing it again and again. But she did.

Ivory opening her eyes groaning. "What now...." She mumbled rubbing her eyes as she faintly opens and closes them before slowly sitting up. "JEEZ WHAT THE FUCK-" Tari quickly looks away covering the side of her face as her face lights up red in shock. "What?"
"P-Put some clothes on!!" Tari stutters in shock.

"Only if you do first~" Ivory teases getting dressed regardless. Tari looking down and quickly covering her chest. Before getting dressed herself. "G-god won't you ever stop this... bit... you do? Take things more seriously? Today's a big day." Tari says sternly still hiding her face as she slides her shirt on, then putting the hoodie on, zipping it up.

"What? I'm not allowed to tease my own gal? What are you? The fun police?" Ivory says slightly annoyed but still got the playful look in her eye. "I-... I'm not saying that... just... you do it in serious situations like the day I killed Glacier. We-.. you-... We LITERALLY HAD SEX ON A MISSION!!" Tari shouts turning around in frustration as she did not look happy.

Ivory Stepping back a bit with an uncertain upset look to her as she trembles in her own words unable to say anything. "I... w-well i-..."

"No. I don't want to hear it. Yeah maybe I agreed to it, maybe I wanted to. And maybe I do take responsibility too." Tari says sat on the bed leaning downwards as she puts her socks on. "But that- that doesn't... i-... it was your idea Ivory. C-...can you just please leave that for when we're not trying to save literally everyone inside the realmverse?" Tari says standing up looking to her with a worried upset look, not wanting to come off as rude or, just outright picky.

Ivory looks the other way.

"Sure... Tari..." She mumbles before walking out the room and making her way to the downstairs area. She slaps her forehead and lays back on the back in anger as she looks up to the ceiling. "Why-... why is this so hard to manage..." Tari mumbles to herself before sighing and making her own way downstairs. Sliding her boots on and tieing them up, packing stuff in a bag as she throws it on her back.

"Sheesh, you alright Tari?... i-... you and Ivory didn't seem to get along up there..." Clive says as he looks out the window seeing Ivory sat on the Dock, kicking her feet in the ocean.

"Y-...yeah well its... it's complicated Clive, she keeps making moves on me when... when it's something serious. Like the last mission we did, she..."

Tari stops, sighing knowing its embarrassing to say.

"She just suggested we split up so we can... you know."

Tari says looking away as she looks through her bag checking everything is in there to avoid looking at him. His jaw dropped a little in shock. "W-WHAT?? WHY?? T-that was... that was a SERIOUS mission! We can't have her do that again since what happened to you! What if that's why that happened?"

"I DONT KNOW!... I-... I didn't mean to shout I'm just fucking stressed out my mind." Tari says packing other stuff to look busy but not really busy at all. "Nono it's fine. I know why she does it Tari, I think... I think she just... she adored you that entire time you were gone."
