So second story, oh boy. Hope you like it, My OC will be described in the bio. Let's go down another rabbit hole. By the way, I own nothing but my OC's bio, and the edits I make to the storyline till the end. No media is mine unless specified. The g...
We followed Tora farther into the corridor. Kai was standing close, and he looked suspicious, and concerned. Then there was that look in his eye, an emotion he's hiding. I can see it when he looks at me, but I don't know what it is, or why he's hiding it.
Pyra: *quietly* Why are you so nervous?
Kai: *quietly* Dunno, maybe I'm worried about you two being harmed? Three if you count Gramps.
Pyra: *aggressive whisper* Where was this concern when Nia and Dromarch got captured?
Kai: *quietly* They didn't want to travel with us, my job.... what I feel is my job... is to protect your group. I you're about to die, I have to save you, Nia and Dromarch are not apart of the group because they don't want to be. I wanted to help them. I did. But that's not my job.
Pyra: Why does it matter? They were friends!
Kai: If you two die then what happens to me? This clearly isn't where I came from, this place, a sea of clouds... what happens to me if I fail at the only purpose I seem to have here? What happens Pyra?!
He was stressed, and I made it worse by arguing with him. Since I met him, he always seemed fine, playing everything off and making sarcastic jibes. But now.... he seemed... broken. Alone. Weak. He wasn't crying, but he did look sad, like I had taken something from him, like the world had taken something from him.
Pyra: *softly* Kai...
He looked up at me. He was hurt, it was my fault. I felt guilty, so I pulled him into a hug. Just gently holding him, with him returning the embrace.
Pyra: He smells... nice... I like this scent... but I don't know what it is. It seems... otherworldly
Kai: Sorry... I shouldn't have broken down...
Pyra: No! It... it's fine Kai... I hurt you, I pushed too hard and didn't realize why you did what you did.
Kai: It's fine Pyra... thank you.
I smiled softly.
Pyra: Anytime.

Padraig: Sir?
Dughall: I told you to capture the Blade with the emerald Core Crystal, did I not? Do you recall me ever telling you to capture some little girl with barely a bounty on her head?
