[color=9e0b0f]"I'm... so very glad to hear zis."[/color] he said with the most heartwarming smile you ever saw. [color=9e0b0f]"Avalon..." [/color]he started to say putting his hand over his heart. It was a weird feeling for him. A warm feeling in his heart whenever she was nearby. The wish of protecting and taking care of her. Right now, that woman's smile was everything in the world for him. [color=9e0b0f]"Avalon I... I sink I fell in love vis you." [/color]he said, his hand gripping his heart as he looked to her eyes. His expression emanated happiness, the most sincere and pure joy. [color=9e0b0f]"It may not be as romantik as I wanted, or as much as you deserve, but vould you accept accompanying zis foolish irremediable romantic on a dinner?" [/color]he asked, extending his hand. [color=9e0b0f]"Zey said zee food at zee tavern is very good, and zey have some nice drinks too."[/color] he said looking at her. [color=9e0b0f]"As you may have realized... I'm not zat experienced vis relationships... But I vould like to know more about you."[/color] he said, trying to hide his nervousness, rather unsuccessfully. [color=9e0b0f]"Erm... Could I ask one more thing of you?"[/color] he asked, nervously [color=9e0b0f]"If you let me, I vould like to stay by your side... I vanted zat zis moment, zis happiness zat I am feeling to last forever, or at least until vee need to fight again, vis I vould gladly do it by your side."[/color] [@WeepingLiberty] [hr] [color=0072bc][center][h2]Shai[/h2][/center][/color] Shai awoke with the smell of freshly burnt wood with a gasp. Breathing heavily, she looked around, still wary about the smell and the feeling of fury and rage she felt after what happened in the town. Judging by the sounds and the calmness, they were a good deal far away from it. She didn't know who saved her, but it was kind enough to tuck her comfortably in a bed, although she was naked. If this person wanted to hurt her, they would had a lot of time to do it. The fact that she was still alive was more than enough to trust this person. Getting up from the bed and using the blankets from the bed to hide her nudity, she began to walk around the house, looking at the destruction the fire caused. She wasn't sure what was the cause of the fire, but it destroyed quite a bit of the once beautiful house. Getting to the common room, or what was left of it, she met the man she was helping at the town. With a set of tools near him, he was sitting down on the charred remnants of a chair. His expression was one of extreme sadness, the expression of someone who lost everything and had no hope left. [color=0072bc]"Thank you... For saving me."[/color] Shai said, breaking the silence. [color=0072bc]"I'm... sorry for what happened to your house. I don't know what happened, but don't be like that... please. I can help you to fix it. Maybe it will turn out to be better than it was before."[/color] she said, trying to cheer up the man. [color=0072bc]"My name is Shai by the way. I don't believe we had the chance to introduce ourselves after everything that happened back at the town."[/color] she said stopping speaking for a while. Looking around the destroyed common room she saw the remnants of trophies, photos, and an entire life, now destroyed by the fire. After an awkward silence, she turned back to the man. [color=0072bc]"I can't say I know the feeling of losing my possessions and memories... because I never had a place I could call "home" for too long, always moving around. But one thing that I learned from this is that although losing things or leaving them behind is painful, its the only way so we can build new things, be they good or bad. Maybe you could even find more happiness upon losing everything than you ever had before."[/color] she said with a soothing voice. [color=0072bc]"I know its painful, but if you think like that, its not that bad."[/color] she smiled to him. [color=0072bc]"We have a lot of work to do, if you let me help you, of course... I can even cook something for you if you get hungry, or help you with my magic..." [/color]It was sure an... exotic view. A hybrid girl, standing there only with blankets hiding her body, her ears and tail standing out like a sore thumb as the later moved around behind her, slowly coiling around her legs as to hide her body and prevent the wind from making the blanket fly away. Although it was very weird, the thing that drew most attention was the girl's sweet smile. [@Deos Morran]
