I'm not cut out to be the heroine

His sad eyes (5)

It had been a long day, full of human interaction and tiring conversations. All I wanted was to relax alone in my room, drink some tea, maybe read a book. But he was talking, he was still taking. Ugh 

Lucina's brother, Jamie was blathering on about something or other. He had caught me on my way back to the dorm. "Where did you and my sister go? How did you decipher what she said?"

I sighed "it's a different language genius."

He looked at me suspiciously "what language?"

"..I'll tell you, but thats my favor repaid." 

Jamie's frown deepened "fine."

"It's English." 

"I've never heard of that language. You're not lying are you?"

" what reason do I have to lie, and don't tell Lucina. She probably wouldn't be happy I told you."

Before he could say anything else I started to walk away. "Hey commoner! Hold on!" 

I ignored him and quickened my pace. He stopped following me after I kept on ignoring him. 

When I got back to my room I rolled around happily on my bed. "Aaaah, at least I have a place to relax." It truly was a blessing that I didn't have a roommate. I mean I loved making new friends, and talking to my friends...it's just that I loved alone time more. The perfect friend is one you can casually talk with when your lonely. Just like every relationship it was give and take. 

My mind was peaceful, more peaceful then it had been in a long time. I guess the fire helped me to vent. Usually when I tried to fall asleep I would lie awake in rage for at least an hour. But today I was lying awake simply contemplating the day. It was nice.

I thought about Cyrus, my first friend from this world. He was odd, and the words he said to me were very wrong. "The same, he said I was the same as him" 

Then I thought about Lucina and her scary eyes. It seemed to me that the people who were similar weren't me and Cyrus, but Lucina and Cyrus. I wonder if they know each other?

I soon drifted off to sleep...

As always the morning came. But unlike most of my mornings there was an uninvited guest looming over me. 

"Aaah!" 

Lucina smiled at me "good morning!" 

"L-Lucina? What?!"  What was she doing in my room?

"Could you explain to me why you told my brother about English?" That brat! He snitched on me. I'll kill him.

"That's...well because he asked." 

"Because. He. Asked.?" She enunciated each word. 

I looked away from her scary eyes "I don't like lying to people."

Lucina looked a little surprised, it was the first time her expression cracked from her friendly facade. "What, you really want me to believe that?"

" if you count not telling people what I think of them as lying, then I lie all time. I don't know it's just when a question is direct I don't see the point in lying." 

She tilted her head to the side "it's weird, you don't seem like your lying, but you have to be."

I tilted my head, mimicking her "why is it so weird?" 

Lucina started to smile again "because everyone in this world is a liar." 

"Just because I don't like to lie, doesn't mean I'm not a liar."
