Monster Hunter Story (Heartless to Compasionate)

Bonding Time (Part 1)

"How am I suppose to do it? That's crazy!"

Here we are. The scene revealed Ray squabbling through the hallway in a childish manner when thinking of a strategy to have a bonding time with that cat boy. I mean, him? The heartless guy needs to help someone else's heart? Pfft, as if it could do it. 

Ray walked back and forth in front of his room trying to think of a way that is probably work. While he doesn't realise that two pairs of eyes ere watching him the whole time. The two figure walked to Ray and one of them pats his shoulder, surprising him directly as the young teen jumped a little. 

"Yo,"

"Gahh!"

Ray freaked out. The two sweatdropped at his abnormalities. In fact, he's been acting really weird after they saw him going out of the commander's office. It turns out to be Lolita and Sora that had already done with cleaning themselves after the mission.

Ray compositioned himself. "It's you two. Is there something you need?"

"Nah, we're the one's should asked you. You've been pacing back and forth like a total idiot. You know you can tell us if there's a problem right? Come on spit it out!" the little loli a.k.a Sora burst in front of the taller figure. He sighed. He invites the two to come into his room to talk.

As they went inside, Lolita and Sora couldn't help but awed at his room. It's totally clean than any other guy's room that they entered. They sat down on the couch.

"Here's the problem. You know about Ariel right?"

The two just nodded.

Ray scratched the back of his head before continues. "Well, the doctors found something that makes him feel traumatised. You recalled the incident were he screamed when he saw all of you surrounded him back at the mission correct? The commander wants me to cure that fear from him. So he doesn't need to feel scared around us anymore," he stopped. He inhales another air.

"So, if you guys aren't busy could you... uhhh-" 

He stretched uncomfortably. It's very rare for Ray to ask somebody for help. So he's kinda embarassed to ask them to help him out. While the two chuckled. 

"Sure,"

"Wait what?"

Sora said. "It's okay. Plus, I want to know about Ariel better. It's fun to have a brother in law. Right Ray?"

It got silent. Ray blushed as his face turns red as a tomato. Same with Sora as she realised what she meant, catching her off guard while Arithia just laughed her ass off as the loli blurted out her secret, almost. 

"What the-"

"Eh, it's okay Ray. She's just hungry. That's why she went spinning. What we're saying are, we don't have a problem in helping you Ray. We'll start tomorrow. I'll inform the others about this, sounds good?" Arithia said.

Ray stood silent for a second before nodding his head. Arithia and Sora felt relieved they finally managed to break his lock of loneliness. They got up and said they farewell to Ray. But not before 'that' happens.

Ray led them to the exit before,

He smiled.

"Thanks you two. See ya tomorrow,"

CLAK!

He closed the door, leaving the two dumbstruck as they got to see Ray smile. Why's that? Well it happens once in a blue moon! So getting to see it is like getting the best birthfay present ever.
