Beauty and the Fanalis Ch.10

Chapter 10 Date

It was a blue moonlight night without the bright lights of the festival, The moon cast it's light on the flowage making the plant life glow despite not producing light. Lo'lo and Dauwn strolled through the bushes and willow trees in a slow pace. they didn't say to much once they reached the grove, but the two made glances at each other wondering what to say to each other exactly. Lo'lo and Dauwn use to have many fun things to talk about but recently, mostly because of Aladdin, things seemed different between them and in a way, they knew it. Now they were completely alone again aside from the occasionally passing couples both were at a lost for words on what to say or think.

Lo'lo was the first to open his mouth, "I feel like I gotta apologise more."
Dauwn turned to him,"huh?"
"There I was; pissed off and grumpy for days when you and your village held me with high regrades." Lo'lo explained. "I just didn't expect it. Most people are ether nervous around me or just afraid of me."
Dauwn smiled then began to speak. "your loud, short tempered, foul mouthed, rude." She listed off.
Lo'lo gave her sharp look but the softened and smirked "yup, That sounds like me."
"But your brave, loyal, and you have compassion for people despite your great strength and receiving the worst humans have to offer." Dauwn continued.
Lo'lo just stayed silent to hear what she was getting at.
"In our village we have different views on the world. For others your just a warrior or an ex-slave but for us we have a word to describe someone like you. hero." Dauwn told him.
Lo'lo stopped in his tracks, Dauwn turned to him. "yea you get mad easily, but no one is perfect lo'lo."
scratching the back his head, "way to stroke my ego." he responded lightly
Dauwn gave him a mischeivous glance, "you still have a terrible habit of getting a horrible odor." she cracked.
"it's the smell of freedom, heart head." Lo'lo shot back.
"scoff!" Dauwn turned away with a smile on her face.

Lo'lo gave a silent chuckle. "you were really good on that stage back there." he complemented. Starting to stroll again with Dauwn keeping pace with him.
"Thanks, I use to sing on stage when i was 6. I stopped around the time i was 20." she told him.
Lo'lo turned his head to her, "why?"
"Because that's when my parents..died."
Dauwn became silent as she stopped to slumped on a bench, "That was the first time I sang in for years." she finished. Lo'lo ran his fingers through his hair looking down for a bit then sat next to her, placing a hand on hers to give comfort.
"I'd say sorry but I'll sound like a broken instrument." Lo'lo joked to lighten the mood which worked a little.
"yea, I don't want to hear 'sorry' all night." Dauwn laughed but still held quiet tone. "When you return to the Reim..do you think we'd ever see each other again??" she asked lightly
Lo'lo met her eyes, "Of course, I may not come back here because your brother doesn't want to see my face but I'd be happy if you came to visit. I like you to meet my friends back home but I want to hang out with you more." Lo'lo said to Dauwn to cheer her up, though most of it was true. Lo'lo wanted to see Dauwn again when he got back to Reim. He thought of places in the city he wanted her see and show her spots he liked going to outside of the Reim empire.
Dauwn and Lo'lo shared a smile, her gaze turned somewhere other than Lo'lo to try and hide the blush on her face. Lo'lo took note of her features, she was beautiful but was she always this cute when blushing? They didn't saying anything until Dauwn noticed their hands were cupped together and pulled away chuckling nervously. Lo'lo rubbed his fingers together automaticly to feel the cold air hitting his released hand.

Dauwn caught something ahead of her, she focused her eyes. There were some couples that had stopped and were watching them in surprise while others were giggling on how romantic it was. Right, Dauwn had to remember that her face was very recognisable to the people. Lo'lo didn't really care if people saw them, but it did matter to Dauwn.
"uh.. can we keep moving Lo'lo?" Dauwn asked
Lo'lo quickly said "sure." and got up. Giving Dauwn a gentlemen's hand, helping her up then Leading them away from any eyes that my come upon them, Lo'lo found a more secure area to contiune their conversation.
"Have you been on dates before??" Lo'lo asked deciding to be curious
Dauwn sighed heavily in annoyance, "yes. The last date was with this one guy I liked which didn't go anywhere. Before him the first date was with...Garth."
Lo'lo stopped dead in his tracks. "What??" He whipped his head back at her. "I thought you said you didn't like Garth."
"I didn't but when he told me that he liked me and asked me out on a date...I agreed out of pity." Dauwn explained
"So it was just a pity date? Nothing serious?" Lo'lo wanted to know
Dauwn chuckled "yep. but that's when I had to tell him I didn't feel the same way. that's why he's hated me ever since."
Lo'lo signed he thought that he outta just tell her his theory, "I'm not to sure about that..when I think about it. I'm pretty sure Garth still has feelings for you."
"you think??" She asked
"yeah. The way he looked when you said you were travelling with another man. I think he was jealous." Lo'lo explained. Dauwn thought about it. "huh, that explains some things..." she mumbled to herself.

There was silence then Lo'lo just went on asking, "um, would you consider this a date??" Lo'lo asked He had nothing to lose by asking her.
Dauwn's blush came back, "I...guess it is."
It was Lo'lo's turn to flush before he saw some flowers and went over, plucking one up. he went back to Dauwn and placed it in her hair. "Then allow me to treat you right then."
Dauwn gave a warm smile, "I'd like that." Lo'lo gave her a shoulder ride and went to a rocky ledge that was connected to the place where vulka's dungeon use to be. He helped get Dauwn up to the ledge before easily climbing up himself. The ledge was pretty big, and they was even grass, a pond and a single tree on this one ledge. The ledge was looking out to vulka village and the sea which included the beach. Dauwn sat at the edge with her legs hanging off the ledge, he sat next her.


"This is a nice spot. " Dauwn glanced up to him.
Lo'lo smiled at her, "you did show me this place. I remember you told me that it was a place where you can be alone right."
"yea, when I'm mad, sad or even drunk I'd come up here." Dauwn said smiling
A laugh came from Lo'lo "I'd love to see you drunk."
Dauwn returned the laugh "My siblings say I'm like an animal trying to walk on two legs when I get drunk."
"Others say I'm quite an animal when i'm drunk too." Lo'lo remarked
Dauwn laughed again then said to lo'lo. "I'm glad we met, Lo'lo."
Lo'lo replied, "I'm glad I met you two."

Dauwn scooted over to Lo'lo leaning against him gently, his heart began pounding heavily and he felt his face was heating up. Dauwn in turn was also pretty red. while Dauwn was leaning up against Lo'lo she couldn't see what was happening to her forehead, a small light was building in the middle of the heart. Dauwn could feel the heat coming from her forehead but before she could focus on it there was a loud bang. fireworks were being lit in the sky.
"Nice, there are fireworks too!" Lo'lo said excitedly.
Dauwn and Lo'lo sat there watching the a ray of colours exploding in the sky. As time passed the two were soon to busy cuddling against each other to notice the loud bangs of the exploding fireworks. Dauwn felt her heart skip when Lo'lo's arm pulled her in closer to him, she nuzzled into him. This made her feel happy and safe, her heart was beating in her chest. she didn't want him to pull away from her -she- she- she loved him. Dauwn's eyes shot opened, 'I love him' she thought she sat up at the realisation. Lo'lo noticed her sitting up straight and felt a little disappointed when she did so. she knelt up to his height, he wondered what she was doing. Before he could ask she met his eyes again, this time her eyes were filled with a brand new feeling. Next thing he knew Dauwn grew a smile and without warning gave Lo'lo a light kiss on his lips.
Lo'lo's entire being shut down for a second before he processed what she did, she kissed him. Lo'lo's mind clicked back, his heart was beating so hard he thought it would burst. Then he looked into her eyes with returned affection, he was in love. He began to wonder if he was always at a thing with her but just denied it to himself. However that didn't matter anymore cause now he knew he loved her, with her possibly loving him back.

Lo'lo leaned closer. Dauwn moved forward as well, closing her eyes, her heart pounding. He was so close to her lips, Dauwn could feel his breath, she shut her eyes super tight and was now completely red in the face and her giddiness was through the roof. Lo'lo suddenly stopped when he glanced up finally noticing her heart, it was pure glowing now. Lo'lo was absolutely shocked at the sight of her forehead glowing he opened his mouth but all of a sudden a pulse wave shot out of her forehead. the wave knocked Lo'lo back, he flew into the air and onto his back, skidding on the ground till he stopped. The pulse also knocked Dauwn back onto the ground but she was unharmed though she felt drained of strength.
The people at the festival, Aladdin, Myrui, and Luria had seen a pink wave pulse come from the mountain side. The wave travelled far beyond the village and into the distance. The people cheered and awed in amazement thinking it was a part of the festival but the ones who was at the log house knew it was something else. Aladdin could sense it, it was magic but what kind of magic is it?

Dauwn groaned as she sat up, rubbing her head. She gasped seeing Lo'lo on the ground. she ran over to him "Lo'lo are you OK?"
Lo'lo stirred as he got up, "what was that??" he asked
Dauwn stammered "I- I don't know. That never happened before," she told him. Lo'lo saw the fear on her, "hey. it'll be alright, I'm fine. I got hit by way worse." Lo'lo assured her. Dauwn still felt uneasy and frightened.
"can..can we just go back home?..The mosquito are coming out." she said smacking one that landed on her arm. Lo'lo nodded and brought Dauwn back in his arms as she was too exhausted to climb down and walk to far.
Once back at the doors. Lo'lo place her on her feet. "can you walk to your room?" he asked
Dauwn nodded "yea. thanks..and thank you for tonight." Dauwn smiled softly as she made it back to her room.

Lo'lo grinned as well and went back to his room. The pulse wave quickly faded from his mind, all he thought of at the current moment was the kiss she gave him. Lo'lo fell on his bed filled with joyful pride "I was kissed by the of the most beautiful and cutest woman in the world!" he exclaimed to himself
while Lo'lo was happy; Dauwn was shocked to see aladdin in her room. Holding her bamboo staff...or more accurately, her metal vessel..

Aladdin looked at Dauwn with an blank expression, "Explain this to me, miss Dauwn."
