Maya: Wow! How did you do that?!
Ever grumbled: That's basic combat magic, even a child can do it. You can too, if you want
Maya's eyes lit up: Oh! I'd love to learn how to do it! Oh, and the tornado as well!
Ever nodded: It would come in handy
Then she murmured, yours would be better
Axel was again, looking at her.. He was wondering why she was so bitter, was it just her jealousy over the prince, or something else?
Romeo: We will arrange for lessons when we reach the palace, why I can teach you myself!
He looked overly pleased by that thought
Ever was glad they were back on their way, she wouldn't have to look at them this way, but she will still have to guard this girl till her visit ended, that is if it even did
They travelled for a few days, they needed to camp though, while going on like this didn't affect her or the prince in the least, Maya was considerably tired, she was just too selfless to point that out, Axel, however didn't seem much worse for wear. This seemed to puzzle Ever even more
When a couple of days passed and there was no second attack, they started to relax a little
Ever knew better than to though, and the calm atmosphere around her was affecting her
Axel sat next to her, while Mays and Romeo retired to their tents
She had been avoiding him for the previous nights, and they were too tense to strike conversation anyway
Axel: It's nice here, your nature is beautiful..
Ever nodded: It's because we don't use technology and have pullotion like the human world
Axel: I guess you are right, but you have magic instead. It's not so abundant in our world, and it's hard to use it, people with the gift are saught after like prey. Greed is a dangerous thing..
Ever: We do know about that, greed exists here as much as it does in your world. Here, magic is everything, the more you have of it, the more power you can get, some don't use it like they should
Axel: We're not so different after all
She shook her head: We're not
Axel: How long have you known the prince?
Ever: All my life..
Axel: But he doesn't seem to know you
Ever said defensively: You know he's a prince, of course he doesn't know each and everyone of his subjects
She was going to stand, he grabbed her arm to stop her
That made her flustered. She was unused to any physical contact from strangers, especially men
He saw it in her face and he let go before she hit him or something
Axel: Calm down, I didn't mean anything. I was just trying to get to know you. You intrigue me
She looked at him warily
Ever: Why? I'm just a normal person
Axel: You're unlike any fae I've ever met before
Ever arched a brow: And how many have you met?
Axel: Not many, but you're still different, they seemed too much alike..
Ever's face twisted, yeah, probably my lack of magic..
He saw her change in mood, and wondered why
Ever: What about you Mr. Merrin
Axel: Call me Axel
She rolled her eyes: Axel, what about you, you seem different from normal humans, and not like Maya either
He smiled and his eyes twinkled: And have you met any humans before?
Ever: No, but I've read about them, and I can feel it. Fae senses are more sensitive than humans'. The way you dealt with the horses that day, it was effortless. What are you?
Axel: Do I intrigue you as well? Good..
She was going to retort, but they both heard a commotion and jumped. Relaxing their guard was a mistake. They were ambushed..
