Being Human

Chapter 2

The sun was high in the sky while Angel stared at the makeshift grave with a smile on her face, Cassius scan the area as he grumbled about stopping here to rest but he didn't say anything when he noticed that the nymph has quickly appeared at his side.

"Where are we going now?" The male stared down at her when he realized that the nymph was only wearing a simple white sundress which causes him to frown at the appearance while making the female to stare at him blankly.

"We have to go to a town to get you a coat and some footwear, we may also need a bag for you to carry." Cassius had already begun listing the things they would need as he took out two small bags from his right side of his hip before he opened one of the bags as something familiar enter her vision. Angel tilted her head as she watches silver being mixed with the gold which led her eyes to stare up at Cassius who notice the confused expression on her face.

"I'm guessing you don't know why I'm taking them out."

The nymph nodded her head which caused him to let out a sigh as his gold eyes bore into her sky blue eyes, he showed one gold and silver in front of her face before he began to explain another lesson of being human.

"Humans and lot of other races use a thing called currency, currency maintains the wealth of kingdoms, countries and everyday life. There are two types of currency, the silver coin, and the gold coin."

Angel examines the coins in Cassius's hands before she looked up back at him even more confused. "But Cassius, what's the difference between them?" The white-haired male pursed his lips for a moment.

Cassius sigh as he ushered Angel to move as he returned to explaining the difference while the pair walk passed the tree and away from the makeshift grave. "Gold coins are more valuable than silver coins because you can get more stuff than silver." Angel nodded her head as she kept close to Cassius and listened to him seriously while the male kept explaining the currency and it's value. "The more gold coins you have, the wealthier you are. It also either gains you respect or hatred." Angel hummed in thought before she glanced at Cassius as she voiced her question loudly towards him. "Who is the wealthiest person?" Cassius hummed in thought as he put a hand under his chin for a moment then he glanced at Angel and frowned. "The royals are the wealthiest but they are also one of the most pathetic humans in existence. If you're talking about non-humans then it would either be a god or a dragon in my opinion."

He shrugged his shoulder as Angel turned her gaze back to front as she sees more trees which only will make her pout that Cassius commented. "The town is still pretty far so we won't able to reach until the sun had set."

As he put the gold and silver coins back into their respectful bag then leaving the bag of coins hanging off of his belt on the right side and not next to his sword that was on his left hip. Angel eyed Cassius's sword before looking up to see the male's gold eyes were already staring down at her before it shifted to what she was staring at, his gold eyes narrowed as he smirked and puffed his chest out proudly.

"This sword you're staring at is my greatest weapon, it's part of a group of blades called saber. There are many weapons and each with its own strength and weakness but knowing you Anigride nymphs, you won't be needing to lift a weapon." Angel nodded in understanding as she lifted her hands and look down at them for a moment.

She soon remembered the question that Cassius had avoided last night and she frowned only to feel her cheek being pulled as her light blue eyes snapped to see Cassius staring mockingly down at her.

"You really need to stop being a daydreamer, if I hadn't stopped you right now. You probably would have got yourself in that trap!" Angel turned her eyes to see an obvious net trap hidden under the leaves and sticks, her eyes shifted to see Cassius had already had let her cheek go and was unsheathing his silver saber.
