"Yeah. He has uh...strange techniques."
Nim smiled.
"Strange techniques?! The guy almost killed me!"
"But he didn't. Anyway, you should put on some more comfortable clothes. It's a nice laze about for the rest of the day. We've got a lot to do tomorrow".
"Can't you just tell him to give me a little warning next time?"
"This is a really good hot chocolate by the way. Very
well made, good job!"
"Nim!"
"What?"
"You keep...gah, never mind."
"Oh, hey! Myrora! I didn't know you were coming over?"
"Just stopping by."
Myrora grinned, hands on her hips.
Nim went off to find Jake while Myrora leaped in the seat across from me.
"Hey, sweet kitchen, right? Man, I'd kill SOOOOO many suckers to have a kitchen like this."
"Uh...okay?"
"So where's Köleil?"
"Shower."
"...so why are you down here?"
"What?"
"Well, you're her Warrior. And you clearly have the hots for her."
"N-no...that's just weird."
"Aw, come on! You telling me you haven't even peeked?!"
"Of course not!"
"Duuuuude, you are missing out some SERIOUS Köleil tit-"
"Hey! Come on, I'm not a perv, okay?"
Myrora sighed, leaning back in her chair.
"Suit yourself."
She put her arms behind her back and stared at me while I washed out my cup.
She made me feel rather uncomfortable, her eyes following and tracing every one of my movements.
"...do you mind?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you not stare at me like that? It's creepy."
"Sorry. You've got some good legs. And you seem pretty strong."
"...huh?"
"And I guess I can stretch myself enough to say you're cute."
"Um...what?"
"Could you help me out?"
I frowned, watching her face to see if she was trying fool me.
"...with what?"
"Some douche bag went off and nicked my crystal. I don't know how they've got it but they don't seem inclined to give it back. I don't want to tell Nim cuz she'll complain about me not keeping it safe and Jake is a dick soooooo...."
"So I'm your last hope, right?"
"Exactly."
"Wait, I thought that the crystals or jems were off hidden somewhere?"
"Well...mine WAS but I decided it'd make a cool necklace. So...yeah...then this dickhead came along. Think you'll help?"
"Sure. Why not. I'll do what I can."
"I'll just tell Nim that you're coming over mine for some extra training. She'd be pissed if she found out. After all, she DID tell me it was a bad idea in the first place."
"Okay. What about Köleil?"
"Let's not risk getting her hurt. She can rest for today."
Myrora cared about Köleil. And she was right, Köleil needed to rest.
