It was said that true peace was the product of ones own mind and body working in harmony.

A battlefield then was the most peaceful places he could be.

And now that he was treading this corridors, did that meant that he missed the hectic and loud, scrambling noise of battle?

''So, what books do you like? Do you have any preferences? Do you laugh often? Is black your favourite colour..? ''

''....''

''Or do you just like the texture of steel with leather..?''

He sighed loudly behind the metal mask. Eyes closing as he clenched his jaw tightly.

Yes, yes indeed..., he really missed the unleashed violence of those moments of reprieve he had before and after their little debacle

Even if he had been forced into an awkward position of protective her even though he tried to kill her..

At least there he didn't have to deal with...the inexplicably endless amount of questions the woman next to him would come up with from nowhere

''I like purple, though perhaps that was a pretty give away given the shade of my clothes, or my hair..., or the colour of my eyes..''

He sighed once more...

At this rate he was gonna start to wish for this real to send their new batch of hounds after them with barely waited breath.

For it didn't matter if he grunted or said nothing in return to that endless stream of questions and little jabs she sent her way, her mouth a completely chatter box unheeding of the myriad of signs that he was not really into it..

She continued, on and on...

''When I was out, I used to look at the moon...its cold, bright light washing over me. I always thought of it as a beautiful view..''

He fought down the urge to pinching the bridge of his nose, knowing full well he would not be able with the mask standing on the way.

It was impossible, and yet she was well in the way to make his head have his first migraine after so fucking long...

And yet, he restrained himself.

It would be in poor taste to let loose to his frustrations on the girl only because she spoked nonsense.

He should be a little more stronger than that.

He was mercifully rescued when they reached an open pair of dual doors to the left, the connection to the core of this realm growing stronger past its hinges.

[Well, we are definitely making progress...]

''Stand right behind me, let me check where this place leads before you enter its-''

He started to say, only to realize the woman had left his side, dust hovering where she once stood. She had not been taken, or attacked, the reason for her sudden, inexplicable departure been more the fact that she had already made her way through the entrance and started walking inside the room.
