Klara and Hazel sat at the garden, watching while Roshan trained Lucian on how to fight. Klara already knew that Lucian was a very skilled swordsman, but she was very surprised at how quick Roshan was. She could barely detect his movement and he avoided every strike coming from Lucian without effort.
While fighting he was instructing Lucian on how to hold his sword, how to stand and how to strike. For someone as skilled as Lucian to receive instruction just seemed unimaginable for Klara but at the same time, Roshan's movement was unimaginable as well. No human could move that way but again, he wasn't human.
"Thank you for coming. I know it might feel uncomfortable." Hazel spoke.
"No, I am fine, as long as it's not uncomfortable for you." She said.
Hazel shook her head. "I am glad you are here."
Klara wondered what Hazel liked about her. She was not very friendly. She didn't know anything about being a friend.
"So you and Roshan? Tell me about it. I am curious." She said leaning into the table with prying eyes.
"Well, I...I don't know where to start." Klara looked down at her hands. She never spoke about personal things with other people than her siblings. This felt strange.
"Do you like him?" Hazel asked.
Klara nodded.
"What do you like about him?"
She turned and watched him while he spoke to Lucian.
"He is relaxed and funny and spontaneous. The opposite of what I am." She shrugged relizing how different they were from each other.
"But he is also straightforward, and charming and a great fighter from what I see. Just like you." Hazel smiled. "I can see you like him very much."
"How?" Klara asked curious.
"The way you blush and smile while you talk of him," Hazel explained.
Klara looked down at her hands again. She had been unable to stop the bubbly feeling in her stomach since last night and her cheeks flushed every time she remembered. Which was almost every time she looked at him or spoke about him.
"So, how does it feel to be pregnant?" Klara asked changing the topic.
"It feels great so far."
"Are you scared? I mean it's not a human child."
Hazel paused her eyes widening. "Roshan told you what he is?" She said with realization.

Klara nodded.
"How...I mean what do you feel about it?" She asked.
"To be honest, I was very confused and scared at first. I didn't know what all that would mean and how it would affect my life. I just didn't know what to do."
"It's normal to feel that way. I mean I had a long time to figure out and despite all the time that I had I was still shocked when I found out. It's something you would never expect. I had all the signs in front of me but my brain refused to believe in them." Hazel rambled.
"Yes right. That's how I feel. It still feels unreal to me. I am just imagining him to be human."
They both giggled looking at their respective partners.
"I think they are laughing at you," Roshan spoke.
"Why would they do that?" Lucian asked aiming at him again and missing again. He wanted to throw his sword away in frustration and give up. He could barely see when Roshan moved. How would he strike him then?
