She stared at him. He was very... Very built. Her mind went a little crazy but she controlled herself.
"what was that tattoo for?"

-
"That? It's the side effect of the heart of Mantorok. The source of my magic."
-
She nods. "I've got a tattoo... It's super embarrassing though...." She giggles.
-
"Aw, it can't be that bad. I'm sure it's nice." He smiles.
-
"Well... More like it's in an embarrassing spot." She says, laughing.
-
"Oh..." He chuckles. "I suppose I won't see it now then, will I? No worries. I'm sure it's a nice tattoo."
-
She laughs. "Thank you... Although don't count yourself out..." She winks at him.
-
"Oh? Then I suppose I won't." He sits on a chair close to the bed. "So, your mum and dad, what are they like?"
-
"Well... My dads name is Kaebius... He's really nice but, super protective... To be honest bed scare away most boys from me, which is what he wanted, the ones that weren't scared passed the 'first phase' he would say." She laughs. "And my mom.... Samantha... She's great. Kind and caring... Also protective of me. They've got the best chemistry I've ever seen. I've never seen them seriously argue about anything..." She smiles, calmly.
-
He smiles, chuckling a little bit. "They sound like a wonderful couple. I would love to meet them someday, especially if they had a daughter like you."
-
She laughs. "Come on your going to make me blush." She says with a giggle. "So what about your parents?"
-
"Hmm, let's see... I had a deadbeat for a father. He cared more for his bank account than me or my mother. I had to take care of my mother when he left us, I was only six, and she was pregnant with my little brother. Her, damn... my mother was the world's purest pearl. The sweetest woman in the universe. Strongest, too. She helped me pursue my passion. Without her... I'd be nothing. I owe everything to her." He smiles.
-
"Well it all turned out well. From humble beginnings..." She says.
-
"Indeed." He smiles to her, looking her in the eyes. "I best be going. Your aunt will want to chat with you, no doubt. Unless... you want me to stay..?"
-
"You can stay... I need some company.." She says with a smile.
-
"Oh! Well, in that case, I'll stay right by your side, Monica." He smiles. "It really is a beautiful name."
-
She blushes. "Oh thanks... It was my grandmothers name..." She says with a giggle.
-
"Your grandmother must have been a beautiful woman as well, then. Since it seems you were as gifted."
-
"Stop Tulleesh!" She laughs as she turns her head away to hide the blush.
-
He laughs a bit. "Sorry, Monica. It's in my nature. I've always been flirty. But only with the cutest ones..."
-
She laughs harder. She lightly slaps him on the arm. "You..." She pauses. "Thank you.... For saving me."
-
"Hey, anytime. I can't just let you get hurt, not after I made you a promise." He smiles with serenity.
-
"Mm... My knight in shining armor." She says with a laugh. [spoiler]Eleanor soon?[/spoiler]
-
A knock on the door, before it suddenly comes open. Eleanor rushed into the room, and she wasn't wearing her helmet, which was very rare. Her face bore the marks of her advanced age, they showed wisdom. She didn't have wrinkles, only her crow's feet. Her blonde hair was still as pristine as ever, with some sporadic whitening hairs, maybe one or two. [i]"Monica!"[/i] She rushes to embrace her beloved niece.
-
Monica embraces her aunt back. "Aunt Elly! How have you been?!"
-
[i]"Oh my god I've been so worried ever since I heard you were here... you aren't hurt, are you?! Are you alright?!"[/i]
