NYX
"DO you think she's avoiding me?" Nyx asked, looking around the table as he sat among his closest friends. It was a few days after Ilya's arrival was announced and he was yet to see her again. Sure, he'd see her every now and then when their paths crossed when he was assigned at the Citadel but she always slipped away before he could even talk to her.
"Who, Ilya?" Libertus asked with a cock of his eyebrow. They were gathered in the Kingsglaive mess hall for their lunch "How can she be avoiding you if the King needs her 24/7?"
"I don't know man, it just feels like it" Nyx replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "I know she has a duty to the King but would it hurt her to visit me every now and then?"
"She probably has a million things to do, since we're in a middle of a war and everything" Pelna agreed with Libertus "You're probably just over thinking it"
"If you want to see her so bad," Crowe chimed in with an unamused look on her face "Why don't you go see her?"
"I don't want to disturb her" Nyx said with a shake of his head "She's probably busy"
As if on cue, the three groaned at his response, already exhausted with his antics. Nyx was usually a confident guy, being able to charm his way into anyone's heart. To see him act all shy and timid was an odd thing to witness.
"She probably feels the same, Nyx" Crowe sighed as she lowered her spoon onto the tray "If both of you are too shy to approach one another, you'll never get the chance to see each other"
"C'mon, Nyx, you've done this a million times" Pelna said as a teasing smile tugged at his lips "How hard is it to talk to one girl?"
"This is different" Nyx said as he pushed his tray aside, loosing his appetite "She's different, she's my soulmate, my other half"
"And she's not just some girl, Pelna" Crowe retorted as she rolled her eyes "She's an Elysian, she's basically like a god"
"A few years ago you told me having a soulmate was like a curse" Libertus said with an amuse look "What changed?"
"I guess I was just bitter at the fact that it took me this long to meet her" Nyx replied with a shrug of his shoulders "Everything changed when she came"
The mess hall became livelier than usual, prompting the group to raise their heads and avert their attention away from their conversation. By the entrance stood the King and his trusted Shield, which was an odd sight to see. it was rare for the King to visit the Kingsglaive headquarters, much less their mess hall. Usually they'd be the one going to the King if they were needed and not the other way around. Along with them was Ilya and Drautos, the latter presumably giving them a tour of the place. Although the tour was more for Ilya than anyone else in their group.
