Axis:Legacy

Chapter 15: Learning Humanity

Lissa glared at Louis and Jun who were trying their hardest not to laugh while Nina was quietly eating ignoring the three that afternoon. As it turns out Nina wasn't the only person that was watching over Lissa and Thomas, and as a result, Louis and Jun found out from Nina herself when she mentioned her observations.

"I mean it checks out given the fact that you two are trying to one-up one another in a fight," Louis pointed out, while Jun was quietly laughing. Thomas on the other hand simply sat there confused as he got dragged along by Nina and the rest.

"I'm pretty sure that Nina just misinterprets our rivalry thing as something else." Thomas pointed out with an amused smile, not at Nina's observations but rather on Lissa's flushed face.

"I agree. After all, there's nothing wrong with having a healthy rivalry." Lissa nodded nervously clenching her fist, a sign of her lying or hiding something. Something that Louis has ended up getting accustomed too.

"I mean I remember in some dramas that's how it all—"

Thunk!

"—never mind," Louis said with a pained smile as the table briefly shook earning an amused laugh from Thomas who noticed it while Jun and Nina gave the two a confused look.

"Anyway since you're here Nina I have something to ask—"

"Statement: I refuse," Nina answered without batting an eye at him, she knew full well what Thomas was about to ask, it had been a few days since Nina had done the tests. As much as she is very much willing to explain to Thomas and Lissa on the results on the test that shows that they are very much the Children of the late Arios and Andras, but she was told by Nurse Slate that she must not yet tell them the truth.

"Fair enough, I should get going then," Thomas shrugged and then smiled as he stood up and left and then turned to Louis. "Try to get that looked, she's surprisingly a powerful kicker."

And with that he left, for a brief moment, the two continued to tease Lissa for a bit until they noticed a braided cord on the table. Lissa caught notice of this and picked it up, it contained a combination of Red and Magenta colors.

"Hey did you guys drop this?" Lissa asked raising the cord in front of the two, this caused the two to exchange glances at one another and then at the Cord. "I think I saw Thomas was wearing that?" Jun pointed out.

"I'll go return this to him for a bit." Lissa nodded as she stood up and left as soon as she was out of earshot Nina spoke once more. "Query: Are you two going to spy on the two once more?"

"Of course," Both of them smiled at Nina, causing the Homunculi to note that they seemed to share the same cat-like grin on their faces. "Statement: Have fun, I shall be off to conduct more studies." Nina nodded as the two ran off to follow after Thomas and Lissa. Meanwhile, Lissa immediately ran up to Thomas and called out to him.

"Hey, you forgot this!" Lissa told him as she showed him the cord, his eyes widened in mild horror as he looked on his wrist to reveal that he had indeed lost his braided cord but was immediately replaced with relief.

"Thanks, I'm glad you found it in that case." Thomas smiled at Lissa and took the braided cord and tied it around his left hand. "I didn't know you were Axian by birth as well," Lissa asked him.

"Hmm? Yeah, this was a gift from my parents, or rather the only thing that reminds me of them." Thomas explained to Lissa with a wistful smile and looked at Lissa. "What about you? Are you Axian by birth?"

"Uh yeah but I don't wear it," Lissa shook her head, she remembers leaving her cord behind but it was sent to her by her mother stating that it was from her original father. But she was very much not willing to wear it.
