Fairy Tail: The Fae Chronicles

I'm good, thanks. Just enjoying my holiday before I go back to uni. How about you?

Fateful Convergence

Hayley took a few deep breaths to compose herself, then stood back up and walked towards him to have a closer look on his scars and markings. "I've never seen this sort of tattoo design before... Looks pretty neat," she replied with regards to the markings covering his right arm, resisting the visible urge to trace every inch of the black patches with her fingers. "Looks like you've got some battles under your belt. Almost makes me feel challenged. Almost," she said with a light-hearted grin on her face.

Fateful Convergence

Hayley winced when Isaac hit his head in surprise, but quickly chuckled with relief when he pulled himself back up, looking mostly unharmed. "Hey, I can't blame ya. Some food in the early hours of dawn is always nice," she replied as he finally regained his composure and tried to save face, only to finally pay attention to his appearance and try to cover up in vain.

Upon seeing him instinctively pull his shirt up as if the sight of his bare torso was a scandalous sight, the blonde broke into a fit of laughter, so much that she had to lean against the table to keep herself from rolling on the floor while laughing. "Isaac, chill out! I'm used to seeing barely clothed men and women! Just relax, will ya?" she said to him between her fits of laughter.

Fateful Convergence

Just as Isaac moved to open the fridge, Hayley came out of the bathroom and took notice of her half-naked guest rummaging for food. She wasn't as surprised to see Isaac's bare torso as she was to see the number of scars criss-crossing across his body. What sort of clusterfuck has this guy been involved in in the past? she asked herself in disbelief, but then quickly cleared her mind and said to him, "Looks like you've slept well. If you're hungry, I can make you something to eat."

Fateful Convergence

After a long, quiet night, Hayley woke up to the sound of ravens huddling outside, cawing and scavenging like they normally did. The sun had barely appeared from beneath the horizon, but already she was up and about. Stretching her limbs and body, Hayley glanced out and saw the flock of black birds outside the apartment complex. While most women were not fond of ravens, the blonde had a soft spot for the misunderstood avian. After a brief moment of silence, she hopped off the bed and put her mind into high gear. Heading out of the room, she yawned and immediately headed into the bathroom under a habitual reflex as she tried to wash off any remaining drowsiness off her.

Fateful Convergence

Silently watching Isaac disappear behind the door, Hayley smiled and, before departing for her own room, replied, "No worries. Rest well." Finally shutting the door to her bedroom, she yawned and threw herself onto the bed, propping herself up for a good sleep. She gazed at the wall beside her, knowing that Isaac was now sleeping in the room next to hers. Her mind flew back again to the moment they first met and a small smile creased her relaxed face. While she was uncertain about how things would go from now on, she was prepared for things to come.

Yup, it's worth it, Hayley thought as she closed her eyes, curled up and allowed her consciousness to drift into the quiet night.

Fateful Convergence

Hayley had taken the time to retreat to her bedroom and sat on her bed to relax, but kept the door open in case Isaac needed anything. As he came out refreshed and clean, she finally took notice of his physical finesse. He's not too shabby... He would fit nicely if he ever decide to get down in the ring, but what's with his arm? The blonde paid a particular attention to his right arm and saw the strange markings adorning the entire limb. That is one, bizarre tattoo design, but they're not that bad...

She snapped back to reality when she heard him call her out. "Oh? No problem!" she replied and hopped back onto the floor. "Unfortunately, I've got no spare clothes I can give ya so you gotta sleep with what you have." Picking a spare blanket and pillow from the cupboard in her bedroom, she walked out and smiled as she looked at him. "Here. They're not much, but I hope they're useful."

Fateful Convergence

With a quiet nod, she gestured to the door and replied, "Help yourself. I can tell you really need a good shower or two. If you need to give that black mop a wash, just use the shampoo." Letting Isaac did what he had to do, she took a final scoop from her bowl and stared at the empty container.

He's interesting. I'll give him that, she thought to herself, but then recalled what he said and asked herself, Still, who is this guy he's talking about? If this guy's just as manic as I am when it comes to ass kicking, then I might have a competition in my hands. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as they parted into an expectant smirk. Funny. I'm actually looking forward to meeting the guy someday.

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

"Oh, so now those bloody high and mighty wants to thank us? Gee, I'm flattered," Dorumon remarked sarcastically, somewhat grateful that their conversation was reserved amongst them. Still battle-weary and recovering from their chaotic fusion, she offered no other objection aside from her remark. Out of all the three females, she was the most skeptical about the Sovereign's intention, but she trusted her friends' long and well enough for her to know that they wouldn't knowingly led her to danger.

"I suppose we should come and listen to what they have to say," Zei suggested, having regained her sanity gradually after the battle reached its conclusion. "My head still feels odd... like I have done something I shouldn't have, but we can put that aside for now and regroup with our friends. I'm worried about them."

"Well then, Examon, Siggy. You have the final say here," Alphamon calmly stated. "Whatever that might be, we'll accept it." Now that she had the time to think further, she realized that Examon had not only displayed good leadership, she felt that he was a better leader than her in any aspect. She didn't think that way out of lowered self-esteemed, but out of admiration and a sense of clarity. In all regards, she felt thankful that Examon had stood up against her in the past. It helped pull her back to the ground and allowed her to move on from her past of bad decisions. 'I still have much to learn...'

Fateful Convergence

"That's nice. At least there are people out there helpin' you out." With a sympathetic smile, Hayley grabbed another spoonful and stuffed her mouth, taking her time to savor the flavor before letting the food go down. "I've been surviving alone for as long as I can remember and fighting's the only thing I can confidently do. It's either that or whoring around. Women hardly stand a chance out here if they're not as tough as nails." The blonde briskly stood up and pulled out two glasses, filling both with cold water, for each of them on the table. "Are you sure you're still keen on spending the night with me, given what I've just told ya?" she asked, giving him a curious gaze as she sat back down on her chair.
