The Exceptions

We Must Be Going

Dawn

I think imma be sick... Dawn clutches her stomach from her hidden position in the booth.

"You have an exception?" asks Lucian, starry-eyed.

"Yep! I've named it reaction. When in danger i can activate it to dodge attacks and gunshots, but

I can also attack with it. Moving super fast also helps with cooking" replies Urbana.

"....But?" Mirai prompts

"But I can't ever wield a weapon or wear armor."

"Yikes, that's rough." Mirai comments.

"I think it's a fair trade,'' Lucian says. Urbana nods. S walks towards the door.

"Wait." Urbana approaches him slowly, seeming to have recovered from her psychotic fit. "Thank you so much for the help. Must you be leaving so soon?" She throws her arms around his waist. S returns the embrace, and begins to sway with her in his arms.

"I'm glad I could help you, and you know I can't ever stay here long, though you are always welcome at my place." S drops his arms but Urbana hangs out just a bit longer. She then drops her arms.

"We are going now." S states.

"You have a home?" Dawn askes.

"More like a bunker. That is where we are going now."

"Oh cool, will you teach us how to fight like how did when you took down those guys?" Lucian asks.

"I will teach you efficient self defense. You must never take someone's life unless absolutely necessary."

"Oh, well, that works too."

"Hopefully I can awaken your exception, Lucian."

"How did you know I didn't have one?"

"It's blatantly obvious," interrupts Dawn, while giggling.

"I just have information. I do not know if you two have powers." S said pointing to the girls. Mirai lifts a small stone with her mind and Dawn makes the word 'nope' mid air with her fire before it explodes.

"Noted," chuckles S.

The group continue their banter as they walk away from the bar.

"Hopefully I will see you soon Shaggius!" calls out Urbana. S waves back in stride as he continues to head for the border of Magus Haven.

"Your name is Shaggius?" asks Lucian.

"Yep," he replies. Shaggius? Hmm, what an unique and uncommon name. Kinda dope, the more I think about it. The group continues until they enter the forest once again.
