We went out to a woody kind of area, and I was sitting down on the edge of land that leads to a river below us.
"You do have a lot of tears." Rudeus laughed as he sat next to me.
"I'm so confused," I admitted and Rudeus nodded showing he was listening. "I thought maybe understanding people would help me. I can see when I did something wrong and apologise or fix it! But nothing is ever good enough for him! He confuses me!"
"Ceres, Paul's stupid," Rudeus informed me.
"That!" I exclaimed. "He's really stupid! Dumb! Idiot! I hate it!"
Rudeus laughed. "So that means he can't understand a smart girl like you and he has outbursts that confuse people..."
"Oh...like me?" I asked.
He nodded actually a little shocked himself, we always thought I took more from Zenith.
"Well, you looked like mum when you were angry earlier," Rudeus admitted.
"I was scary?" I asked.
"No...a little." He nervously laughed. "But you looked strong, really strong. You knew exactly what you wanted to say and how you were being treated unfairly. I'm so proud of you for fighting back against someone's words when you would have always accepted everything as being your fault before."
"So he's just stupid and then his outbursts make him even stupider...lame ass man, he must suffer a lot," I mumbled.
"You already sympathise with him." Rudeus laughed. "...I don't know how I can face him, it was my fau-"
Rudeus ended up in the water because of a small gust of wind definitely not made by me.
"Why?!" He yelled as he looked up at me.
"I see you inherited the stupid," I mumbled. "If it isn't my fault, it isn't yours either."
I held out my hand to him, and he took it and I helped him back up. "I wanna punch Paul," I admitted.
"He's that bad he made you violent." Rudeus hummed a little scared. I had dried him off before we both went back and when we arrived at the inn we saw Eris and Ruijerd waiting for us.
"Did you kill him?!" Eris yelled.
"No!" I exclaimed. "I wanna punch...but I will never do that! I will never become her!"
They were confused by my yells, but they saw I was smiling again so they were happy for me.
The next morning, we were eating our breakfast in the inn. "Bread doesn't taste as nice," I mumbled confused as I ate it then I heard someone come into the inn.
"Welcome." The bartender greeted him.
"Oh, I'm not-" The voice made me drop my food. Eris noticed the flinch from Rudeus making her move quickly.
"Nah! Nah" I exclaimed wanting her to stop.
"Who are you?!" Eris was right in front of Paul with her arms crossed showing how angry she was.
