Love And Deepspace

Captivating moment: Part 1 (Sylus)

Recently, a small country in the south had experienced abnormal magnetic suspect it is related to the Ather Core and want to go investigate.

Sitting on the sofa, Sylus methodically disasembles a gun as if it were a toy.

"Aren't the Wanderers in Linkon City enough to keep you worried? Why are you also concerned about the ones overseas?" He ask, i turn to him. "The increase in Wanderers has already has already made international healines." I replied,

Sylus raised his brow, "but you work so hard to get into the N1O9 Zone. Are you actually planning to travel and broadcast the same latest news story?" He ask,

I lean closer to Sylus and forced a smile on my face.

"By the way....aren't you also going there soon?" I ask, Sylus narows his eyes slightly. He takes out bullets from the magazine, one by one, and place them on the table.

"I should prepare a few rounds for the moles who leaked my plans, huh. Two should do the trick." He said, "don't blame Luke and Kieran....the Protofield over there is behaving erratically. Regular flights aren't an option." I said,

"I just asked if private planes has restrictions too. They spilled the beans and...."

"I guess it's not bullets i need but a couple of gags." Sylus cut me off, "there are so many empty seats on your private jet, though. I won't take up that much space, right?" I ask leans towards him while rasing my brow.

Sylus puts the disassembled gun parts into the gun case. "No." He said making me frown at him, "i'm not going to be a freeloader. I can pay you based on current commercial airfare. But i can only affrord economy class...."

The corner of Sylus's mouth slightly twitches. "A lot of time has passed since our last meeting. Your jokes have gotten funnier, sweetie." He said giving me a small smile.

He stands up, picks up the gun case, and heads for the door. I hurried after him.

"Why won't you take me with you?" I ask standing in front of him. He glanced over his shoulder and look at me. "It's for business." He answered, "i'm just a small time hunter. How could i ever affect your business?" I ask, "can't you think of me as one of your gun cases to bring along?" I added,

Sylus turn around and throws the gun cases to me. I catch it, and it's much heavier than i thought. "I plan to throw this gun away." He said, "....what? Why?" I ask,

"My "business" isn't what normal people imagine it to be." Sylus said, "so taking someone who's not used to my way of life is like carrying a firearm that doesn't fit in your hand. It can be a liability." He explained,

Defiant, i place the gun case on the floor. It's an obstacle between Sylus and the door. I look up at him. "Except you never let me into your life. How would you know whether i'm used to it or not?" I ask,

Sylus quickly gave me a once over. "Are you sure?" He ask, "if i prove myself to noy be a liabilty, you take me with you. Well?" I ask as Sylus's red eyes move closer. And closer.

I lean back against the door, unwittingly holding my breath. "What are you doing...." i ask as he moves closer to me, my heart was beating faster and faster. His hand passes by my ear. And then he opens the door.

I looked behind me suprised then i turn back to Sylus who was moving back. "Are you just going to stand there?" He ask, my face was warm and maybe turning red. "Did you really have to be so close....to open the door." I said almost stuttering my words.

"Didn't you say you wanted to be let into my life? If so, you should get used to this." He said as walked out of the armory room, i pause, then quickly catch up to Sylus. "So it's that a yes?" I ask as i walked beside him.
