Sorrow Lagrimas de sangre

Guilt, Weigth of Darkness

Sometime after Alice explanation we were almost arriving at the undying gate. For some unknown reason we were in a nice forest called, ironically, "Deadly Sticks". Alice went exploring since she was the fastest, and Reaper went doing his favorite thing on earth, hunting. Sylvia went bathing on a river, or so she said, and I had to stay on base and take the watch this morning. Since there was no food I tried to keep myself busy sharpening my sword's blade.

A few hours later I heard footsteps, military like ones, assuming it was Sylvia I just greeted.

"Welcome back Ms.Knight"

"Greetings there,worst guard ever" She answered laughing "you should always take a look, not worth having a nice blade if you get killed without using it"

"Guess you are right,but you walk in a very particular way"

After I lifted my eyes I dropped my blade from the surprise I got. She was wearing a white detailed dress, I think even cleavage. She had left her hair free and it ended on her waist. It was the first time I have seen her without an uniform or her armor, and I had to admit she looked pretty.

"W...what are you staring at?" she said blushing and still rubbing her hair with a towel "you are making me uneasy"

"Oh, sorry...you look different, I was expecting the armor"

"Got to clean it up from time to time and it hasn't dried yet"

"You look....girly"

"I AM! A lady"

"Right, but you usually don't look like one with that armor"

Took me 5 seconds to understand I just aimed for what happened next. I felt a chain around my neck and was suddenly being pulled to the ground, after that I felt a boot stepping on my back and heard:

"Girly enough?"

"Yes..."

"YES WHAT?!"

"Yes madam"

"Good" after removing her chain on my neck she added "you know I used to be pretty more girly, and I still am when not on duty, same as Alice"

"I find it hard to believe, but for my own safety I'll take your word"

"Good call sir"

"So how long have you known each other? You girls seem to be pretty close"

"Indeed, we have been together (not in the way your perverted look suggests) for 10 years, she is my mission and training partner"

"Since we are going to be waiting a while, mind to tell me more?"

"I do"

"Then I'll start doing questions until I know what I want to know"

"Oh dear Death..."

"Why is your hair and eyes gray?"

"Albinism"

"Why the clock you use as a weapon?"

"A reward for beating a mayor specter"

"Why..."

"ALLRIGTH ALLRIGHT! I'll talk, what do you want to know?"

"I want to know how did you 2 ended up being partners"

"Well I saved her back then remember?...She had no place to go, so I took her with me, probably a big mistake"

"What do you mean?...If it's ok I ask"
