Stuck in Runes

Chapter 39

(Sophia POV)

A warm ache radiates through my body resinating from my thigh. My eye lids feel glued shut and my limbs feel made of led. What happened... I was on a mission and...

"HUH!" I gasp sitting straight up. I pant sitting in a small room, rays of light filter through the large window, it seemed to be late morning. Lifting the covers I can see the gash is gone, but a thin outline of where it was remind, that means my cloth was used?
Turning to my right I see freed sitting asleep in a chair, without a shirt on?

I look down seeing the shreds of what I assume was his shirt laying around me, as well as his coat lays next to me. I blush crosses my cheeks as I realize... I was just cuddling with that! It smelled so good and I'm used to hugging things as I sleep!

I turn to see a groggy green haired mage rub his eyes, after a second they quickly flutter open and he stands up.

"You'r awake" He says clumsily coming over to me nearly knocking over the chair he was in, in his rush.

"Ya... I am..." I rub my eyes a grin sits on his lips. "What... happened, and where are we?" I ask locking my fingers and extending my arms in front of me, pulling my shoulder blades apart stretching out. Freed explains what happened how the girls are safe and Marsuk was put away. I smile and nod during the story indicating i was listening, also I had shifted to lean back on my hands. He seemed cheery today, he Stumbled over some of his words while talking too quickly, and a grin stretched ear to ear.

"That's great! We should check on them today, as well as Elisabeth and the constable." I smile up at him, he nods opening his mouth to speak but nothing coming out. His face is consumed by a blush and he turns away covering the lower half of his face with a hand.

"I-I didn't realize, s-sorry. It must not seem... we are both here and um -cough- without much on... I won't! I mean I didn't!" He says one of his arms rapping around his stomach at his other hand still covered his face. Looking down I see I'm still in just a tank top and fairly short short from what happened on the ship, my face flushes with heat.

"No! I don't think, I, You! You would ever!" I pat around pulling the closest thing next to me around my body. I turn to him, sitting on my feet, rapped up. "Where is my..." I look around for my bag, I have clothes in there...

Keeping his eye on the floor he walks over to the table across the room picking up my bag, bringing it over. "H-here..." He says his face red.

"I will go to my room, I brought my bag to the other room yesterday, I just didn't want you to be alone I was worried the healing didn't work. Or that I used it wrong. How is that feeling?! Are you ok now? I mean I'm sure you are. You can..." He stops "Sorry... I'll go..." He quickly shuffles out of the room, I giggle softly. I get up and put my bag down on the bed looking through it. A quiet sound comes from the door and I see a small piece of paper on the floor, I float over picking it up.

Breakfast should be ready in about an hour,
it's down the hall through the double doors.
~Freed

I nod at the note walking back over to my bag and pulling out a pair of leggings with a galaxy print on them and a large wide strap tank top that hits about mid thigh, its plain Black, but nice and loose and it flows when  walk.

Hopping into the bath to clean off, I feel grimy. I can still feel Marsuk grabbing me by the waist. A shudder runs up my spine. It's not the first time that something like this happened... and probably not the last but that doesn't mean it makes me feel any less sick...

I hop out of the bath the water having gone lukewarm while I was thinking, I dry off and put on the clothes I had set out for myself. Using my wind magic I blow my hair dry, And pull it up into a pair of twin buns off my neck, leaving my bangs out still covering my left eye. I put all of my stuff left into my bag, including the scraps of what I still assumed to be Freed's shirt. As I pace around picking things up I walk over to where I had dropped the blanket I used to cover myself , I look down an seeFreed's coat laying there. No wonder it smelled so good... my face gets hot and I pick it up. Maybe he didn't notice...

(Freed POV flash back )
I walk over to the desk picking up her bag assuming that's what she wanted. I walk back over handing it to her, looking up slightly I see her small form rapped up in my jacket. Oh my gosh, she is cute... She swam in it, the colar going almost half way up her cheeks. I feel my face get hotter. I need to get out of here before I do something I regret. She is too cute I can't.

I pull the coat through the straps of my bag, I'll give it back to him at breakfast. I step out of the room looking back and fourth the hallway was lined with 3 doors on each side, one end having a double set of doors, the other end a single door with a sign on it with pretty script saying:

Moon Residence

I turn the way of the double doors and walk down the hall, the lack of windows made it stuffy, but the way it was decorated it still felt homey, photos on the walls and tables with fresh flowers in cute vases.

I cautiously open the set of double doors to the restaurant I was in the morning before, though this time it was packed with all kinds of people, it much be the morning rush? Or maybe lunch rush? I'm still not sure what time it is...
