[u][b]That's still amazing...[/b][/u]
*He looks up at the Dojo resting high on the mountain above them, specks of light flickering dimly around it. He turns back to her, smiling kindly and outstretching his hand, offering for her to take it.*
[u][b]Would you like me to take you to the Dojo now?[/b][/u]

[i]"I need to wait for my companion farther down..."[/i] [b]She remarked, looking back over the road where her bodyguard had been. He'd find her eventually.[/b] [i]"But I'll be sure to arrive soon."[/i]
-
[u][b]Oh, well may I wait with you then? By the way it's too late to find somewhere for you to live yet... So you can stay in my apartment if you want. I can make you some food too if you'd like any.[/b][/u] *He sits back down, continuing to smile a little at her.*
-
[spoiler]Her bodyguard isn't my character btw.[/spoiler] [i]"If you wish..."[/i] [b]She said quietly, falling silent once more. She wasn't the talkative type... Just... Quiet... She seemed passive in a way. Not really out to start confrontation, and too shy to really argue about something.[/b]
-
[spoiler]Um, who's character then? Are they online? Is this going to be a three person RP because I hate those...[/spoiler] *He sits there silently as well, occasionally glancing over and looking her up and down before stopping at her eyes and then looking back.*
-
[spoiler]Its Ginga's and no he's not gonna reply. But she's probably gonna stay there.[/spoiler] [b]She eventually grew impatient, running a hand across her lap as she slowly got to her feet, looking down the road in slight confusion.[/b] [i]"Guess he'll catch up... I'm going to walk around for awhile, but I'll need to come back..."[/i] [b]She looked around, her hands hanging loosely by her sides as she looked up at the stars still swaying overhead.[/b]

Well w-when you decide t-to come up j-just c-come back h-here and I'll t-take you...[/b][/u] *He looks slightly unhappy at this, looking down a little and his stuttering coming back, full force.*
-
[spoiler]He's her bodyguard, and she needs the protection[/spoiler] [b]She turns to him, noticing the stutter, a gentle smile across her lips.[/b] [i]"Hey... You remember what I said right? I made a promise. I'll go to the Dojo... I just need to wait..."[/i] [b]She turns back to the open landscape in front of her.[/b] [i]"It's just to look around... And you are free to do what you want..."[/i]

[spoiler]Hey, if she needs protection she just has to ask Vorim. In his pocket he has fifteen 50 caliber bullets that he can send flying twice as fast as they can from a gun. But I assume that isn't going to happen since there's a certain way this post has to go and I'm messing it up aren't I?[/spoiler] *He looks up at her.* [u][b]O-Okay... I stay u-up some n-nights and I have n-nothing b-better to do s-so I'll stay here anywa-anyway.[/b][/u]
-
[spoiler]Not really. I'm pretty lenient. He's free to do what he wants. She's just gonna walk for a bit.[/spoiler] [i]"Be safe then... I'll return shortly."[/i] [b]She nods to herself before padding quietly off towards a far treeline, her dress swaying ever so slightly in the wind as she trailed away... Almost like a ghost.[/b]
-
[spoiler]Ah, okay.[/spoiler] [u][b]Oh, okay... Bye...[/b][/u] *He watches her as she walks off. He was fascinated with her. They had just met and already he was unable to stop thinking about her. The main detail he kept thinking about were her warm, caring orange eyes. He thought he had literally gotten lost in them a couple of times. He pulls out a toy car, causing it to float in front of his face, wobbling and turning lazily in the air. He sighed, thinking [i]I'm not sure anything's going to happen between us... But I'll try...[/i] his ears were pricked up in the direction she left in, not because he heard something but so he could hear if something was happening to her.
-
[b]She seemed to wander off in no particular direction, her footsteps muffled. But she was still audible... If only slightly. [/b] // [b]Hours passed, and as she returned, she had her umbrella on her shoulder once more, the white and black pattern very visible. And at the same time, Dawn started to peek out over the horizon. But as the sun came, she unraveled her black veil as it covered her, only her silhouette left in the shadow.[/b] [i]"Lots of land to explore."[/i]
-
*He looks up, smiling.* [u][b]Indeed, I still d-don't completely kn-know my way a-around...[/b][/u] *He stands up, continuing to smile at her.* [u][b]W-Want me t-to take you now?[/b][/u]
-
[i]"Might as well..."[/i] [b]She says from under her veil, looking up the stairway. It would be a simple walk now....[/b]
-
[u][b]Th-Then let's go.[/b][/u] *He outstretches his hand for her to take.*
-
[b]She hesitates for a moment, before placing a her hand in his, green lines snaking across his arm, her touch transferring her strange marks.[/b]
-
*He looks a little surprised but not scared or startled.* [u][b]W-What's happening?[/b][/u]
-
Edited by Chesh I Guess: 10/7/2016 2:47:15 AM[i]"It's a sign of trust... It happens with all my species."[/i] [b]She remarks, the lines taking the shapes of cogs and flowers, before eventually fading away.[/b]
-
[u][b]Oh... Well I trust you too, now let's get going.[/b][/u] *He stopped stuttering, as if his confidence was immediately replenished by hearing she trusts him. He walks her in the direction of the long winding stairs, making sure to move slow enough for her to walk next to him instead of trailing behind.*
-
[b]She said nothing, still mostly hidden behind her veil, only her hand peaking through and visible. She walked in silence next to him, not particularly fond of long talks anyways. Besides, it was almost dawn, and she would need to think of words to explain why she needed her veil.[/b] [i]"What's this place for?"[/i] [b]She suddenly asked, almost a ghost moving across the ground. It was like she even didn't touch the tiled stairs.[/b]
-
[u][b]The Dojo? It's where warriors come to train and fight. But anyone can live there if they want. You're so beautiful, I'd love it if you stayed.[/b][/u] *His eyes widened at that last part which had basically just come out on its own. Whether she felt the same way or not, flirting was still a new concept to him.*
-
[b]She looked at him under her veil, silence pervading her for a moment.[/b] [i]"Thank you... But I can't stay forever..."[/i] [b]She had to keep going, no matter what... That was her only option.[/b]

Edited by Skatch142: 10/7/2016 4:02:02 AM*He looks at her, ihs ears laying back with disappointment as they continue walking up the stairs.* [u][b]W-Why is that? Why not?[/b][/u] *He stutters again, not quite as badly as the other times but he's still stuttering.*
-
[i]"I just can't... there's no reason for me to stay. I have to keep moving no matter what."[/i] [b]She sighs and lets her hand slip away, the sun just beginning to peak out.[/b] [i]"It's morning... And I need to find shade... I'll stay for some time... But my life is not here with fighters."[/i]
-
*This hits him hard, causing the stutter to return in full force.* [u][b]C-Come on. Let's g-go t-to my a-apartment. I-I'll make s-some food f-for y-you... But y-you don't n-need to fight. Y-You're a h-healer, we always n-need more h-healers. People a-are being forced to g-get robotic l-limbs instead... W-Where would y-you go if you d-don't st-stay? Y-You are w-welcome here, f-fighter or not. [/b][/u] *He sniffles a little, looking back away from her. His voice trembled as he spoke. His posture changed back to when they first met, awkward and closed.*

Edited by Chesh I Guess: 10/7/2016 5:57:15 AM[b]She smiled softly under her veil, drawing close. Then, she kissed his cheek, softly... Like a mother would to her child.[/b] [i]"I'm sorry... But this is not the place for me. I wouldn't be able to live if I stayed here... A trapped bird. It would just be like back home. The road is my life, the journey my house."[/i] [b]And with that, she folded the veil back over her face and hid away from sight, turned towards the gates.[/b] [i]"I'll stay for a time... Just not forever..."[/i]
