Life Again: Gale Resurrection

Truth Without Words

It's been a very long time since I have been able to just sit down and relax.

After Liam dragged Ariya out of the tavern before she attacked the hybrid and after they got paid he decided to take some time to himself, right outside the red light district within Erith was a bathhouse which is where Liam decided to take his break.

He informed Ariya about his plans which she also thought was a good idea, but to keep their guild relationship professional they got two separate bathhouse rooms.

I can finally clear my mind...

Liam closed his eyes and sunk deeper into the water, he had a pair of what is this world's equivalent to swimming shorts.

The room went silent for a few minutes until Liam heard a door open, which he ignored and thought it was coming from a different room.

He set his head on the ledge behind him and began to mumble to himself.

"I kinda wish Ariya was here... That sounds kind of creepy actually..." Liam mumbled as he noticed something was covering the light above him.

"Just a little..." Ariya said while kneeling next to his head and leaning over him blocking the light.

"Yeah.... Wait..." Liam said as he opened his eyes and noticed a familiar face.

Ariya smiled and looked into his eyes.

Liam was about to scream thinking it was someone else but once he realized it was Ariya he calmed down a little bit.

"I thought we agreed that we would be in separate rooms... So that we can stay professional..." Liam mumbled while looking back into Ariya's eyes.

Her eyes always have such a pretty shine to them...

"I know, but they kicked me out of the other room I had and said there were reservations, and they offered me a key to this room because they saw us come in together and talk before," Ariya explained her cheeks a bright red color as she kept glancing at liams shoulders

Liam sighed before speaking.

"If we stay on opposite sides of the hot tub I guess it's fine," Liam said trying to look away from Ariya but his eyes couldn't break from hers.

"Fine-" Ariya said standing up and walking to the other side of the hot tub.

As she stood up Liam finally stood up and looked at what Ariya was wearing, she was wearing similar shorts to Liam but they were shorter and more feminine than his, covering her chest was a crop top-looking shirt that ended right under her breasts and showed off her stomach, both things made of a very cheap and almost silky material.

She's beautiful...

Ariya slowly got into the hot tub and lowered herself into the water, she took a deep breath before dunking her head into the water and pulling it back out. She flipped her short hair back as she came up to breathe, which quickly fell back in front of her face.

"You look nice..." Liam said with a little confidence in his voice.

"Th... Thanks..." Ariya looked the other way as she started to hum to herself quietly.

Liam closed his head and put his head back again as he listened to the humming.

I feel like I'm forgetting about something....

Liam thought to himself as he tried to figure out what he was missing, but nothing came to mind, he was relaxed and with the girl he had slowly been falling in love with.
