Sarah Ericsson's Point Of View
/Thump!/
" Well, that wasn't so bad, I guess."
John looked at his hands as the portal behind us closed. We just left Paradise and arrived back to my childhood home, the Royal Palace of Blackstone. Even though it's been around a year since I've been here, not much had changed. We landed in my Father's office. The smell of the old books on the walls and the smell of the fireplace was all the same. I looked at John and saw that he was quite happy, I looked to him and asked the most important question.
" So, how much mana did it take?"
He looked at me and took a deep breath before speaking.
" 25% I'm running at about 75% right now... We can do this. So, this is what Advancement is like?"
" It's a good feeling, isn't it?"
" It feels like all of the training is worth it... Or should I say all of the pain had a silver lining?"
" I don't know about that, I was hurt pretty badly, you know? Are you saying that it was worth it?"
I meant to only tease him and make him show me a funny reaction, but instead he decided to surprise me. His face changed to a look of seriousness I've only seen him make whenever he's talked about the future and our children. As he turned to me, I was absorbed by the look in his eyes.
" That will never be worth it to me, you or Anna being hurt, never."
" Hnn..."
" Huh?"
I almost let myself squeal and ruin the moment, he's just so handsome! Unfortunately, I couldn't stop myself fully. A strange noise still came out of my mouth, and it caused him to look at me with a look of concern, he's wondering if I'm okay now. Oh, that look... I can't help myself. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into my chest for a hug, he surrenders himself to me willingly... I can't stop myself! I take my hands from the back of his head and raise his face towards mine.
" Sarah, this might not be the bes-"
/Chu!/
Sometimes I wish that he wouldn't be so uptight about when or where we were, but then it wouldn't be as fun to claim his lips and interrupt his protests. Besides, as soon as our lips touch, he begins to see things my way anyways.
" Wah!"
" You can't expect me not to pounce if you say something like that to me. For what's it's worth as well John, no acquired abilities would ever be worth you being hurt to us as well."
He listened to my words and placed his hand on mine before he responded to me.
" I know, Sarah, I know."
" And I know as well, so can we go to Father and Mother now?"
" Huh?"
" Did you need to interrupt us, Cyn?"
" Considering how you are with him, yes, otherwise I'd need to tell Father to have his office deep cleaned before using it again."
" Cynthia!? No... I wouldn't do something like that in Warrick's office!"
" Judging by the fact she was about to move her hands further down I'd doubt that. Don't we need to meet the Darkheim Royal Family today?"
I could tell from the feeling of the air in the room that Cyn's been here since we've arrived, but she kept hiding, I figured she would just stay there, but I guess we went a little too far for her taste. She might have said that I was going to go farther, but honestly, I wasn't going to become intimate with John here... We'd take too long, and he'd be too embarrassed when we see my parents shortly afterwards. But did she have to interrupt before I got a second kiss before we left?
