AYU'S POV:

"I hate taverns," I grumbled over my mug. The inn Sekkusu and I were at was about 10 miles out of Salem. He seriously needed a drink. I look over at him to see a wasted Sekkusu singing along with one of the bards, mug high in his hand. Idiot.

Upon coming to this wretched place, the men already gathered thought it would be easy to get me in their beds. Oh how wrong they were.

After the 5th attempt I got up smashed my mug over his head, and marched over to Sekkusu.

"Look I know you're stressed and all but, I've had enough. I'm going up to the room, I'll come down and get you if you pass out, alright?"

He looks at me with a slight flush over his tan face. Blue eyes moving around in a drunken stupor. "S'fine" he slurred, and went back to his mug.

"Tch, men" turning around I glance back at Sekkusu, just to be sure, then quickly slipped up the stairs, without a sound.

SEKKUSU'S POV

I was drunk. That was an obvious fact. Completely wasted now that's something I don't get to. So when Ayu came to me storming mad I sorta felt sorry for her.

Maybe I should check in on her. She's had a rough day - I thought

So after I finished my drink I walked up stairs to our rooms and knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard a sweet voice say

I opened the door open to see Ayu sitting at her desk writing in some sorta book. She quickly closed it and turned once she saw me in the door way.

"Oh... Sekkusu... I thought you would stay longer?" Ayu stated some what surprised I would turn down another bottle of fire.

"Nah... I think I'm good for the next few hours or so." I said with a slight slur.

"Oh okay..." Ayu said.

She shifted uncomfortably in her chair.

"May I come in?" I asked

"Oh where are my manners. Of course." she got up and led me into the room.

The room was small but homey. A small fire place against the wall with a bed across from it and a desk in the corner.

"Nice room. I only got a bed and a chest." I stated flatly.

"Well... I may have seduced the owner into giving me this room."

She blushes slightly as she turned away from me.

"Ahh... That makes sense."

"What's that supposed to mean?" She exclaimed "Is that all I am to you? A little sex toy to help you get what you want?"

"What? Where the fuck did you get that idea? Like I was just linking that to your a deadly sex goddess."

"Oh.. I'm sorry." She said in a quiet voice blushing even more.

"Don't be its fine." I sighed. "You okay?"

She looked at me questionably. "Why do you ask?"

"Well you haven't been yourself lately. You've been like anti-social and shit. I was just worried." I said

"Well the past few days have been hell."

"Yes but I sense something else is bothering you."

She looked down and took in a shaky breathe and told me everything.
