The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 120: Down to Earth

I woke up to the sound of rustling.

"Dallel?"

"Rose? You're awake!"

"Dallel... I'm so sorry."

I couldn't help but cry. I nearly killed him and Amy.

"It's alright."

I sat up to hug him and he took it with a surprised expression.

"You can move."

"I can. Did you doubt I'd be able too?"

"Kinda."

"Well, I'm okay now. Thank you. You sa-"

"Ooh~ She just woke up and you're already getting busy."

I turned and looked at Thalia. Next to her was... my shirt.

Dallel saw that... looked at me and blushed furiously.

"S-s-sorry!"

Then he ran out of the room.

"So, Ms. Fearsome Rasberry. How are you doing?"

"You are evil, you know that?"

"Eh, can't help making fun of you. You're too easy and that was too perfect to pass up."

I was blushing.

"Just give me my stupid shirt."

"Well~ if it's stupid~"

"Thalia, I swear. Give me the shi-"

"I jest. Here, have it."

She left with a major smirk.

"What an evil dragon."

After dressing, I went downstairs with a limp.

"So, Dallel and Thalia weren't lying, you are awake."

"I am."

Silas greeted me.

"Could I have my usual."

"Sorry, doctor's orders. No wine. I can give you water."

I grimaced.

"Fine, water please."

I sat down and put my head on the table. I still had a killer headache.

"Hey, Rose. It's good to see you awake."

"Good to be awake."

I got a lot more greetings before I got my food. Then they sort of looked away as I ate it all. I guess the subject of me eating wasn't very comfortable.

"Rose, you're alive. I figured that you finally kicked the bucket after kicking Dallel."

"Good to see that you're doing well, Jalad."

"But seriously. I'm happy that you're back... when I got that notification... If it wasn't for Dallel, I think we wouldn't have been able to persist."

"I'm happy to be back, and to hear that Dallel did a good job."

"He truly did. I suppose it's his regal blood, but all of us were shocked in how well he organized things."
