'' Shut Eye ''
Stealing Sheep
Hard tile lay beneath my feet, cold and frigid. Closing my eyes I brushed my hair from my face, waiting impatiently for him to find me. To show his face, my stomach continuously dropped lower and lower in my gut until I felt as though the bad taste in my mouth was just my puke.
Tilting my head back and tapping my foot impatiently, I attempted to think about how much I wanted to talk to him about this. Was it truly something that important at a time like this, when he was so busy? Did it matter as much as I thought it did?

I nearly froze up when I stared at it. Archille's bubbly and excited aura completely drained from him.
Biting my tongue, I waited patiently for him to address me. Though I felt his touch before I heard his voice. His arms wrapped around me, warm and oddly comforting, chuckling with the little bit of energy he had left in him, "You signed up-- formally to see me. You made an appointment?"
"Yeah, otherwise I can't visit you during the day, at least not until near 9 at night." I sighed, gently pushing him up off of me, "Are you doing alright--? You look like shit."

I needed to fight something, actually fight it, not a duel in the training grounds but something I'd feel exhausted for doing afterward.
My palms were sweating and I was itching just to get my hands on something to scuff out.
Archille was silent for a long moment, "Give me one more month." He whispered the teary tone in his voice made me anxious.
