The Starlight Garden was always a good place to relaxâ and gods, did she need all the relaxing she could get. Her studies were a little hectic at the moment.
For some reason, the garden was really busy today. A lot of the benches were already taken; she was lucky to find one with a free spot. It was usually not her style to bother strangers, but the man sitting there didnât seem to mind. He did seem a little out of it though.
After a few minutes passed, she felt a little bump on her shoulder. She turned to see the same manâs body gently leaning on her. He seemed to be hovering between wake and sleepâŠ
Surprising even herself, she found her hands to be playing with his long, soft hair. AhhâŠthis silky smooth blond hair⊠It reminded her of someone she knew from her original home.
âOh.â This was most certainly not the person she knew from back then. This was a completely different man! Lucina could feel her face flush as she promptly removed her hand from his hair, backing off as far as the bench would allowâŠwhich wasnât much.
âAâŠa cleric? N-no, Iâm sorry, you arenât talking to a paladinâŠIâŠâ She fumbled through her words, but then took a deep breath. âI apologize. This was weird of me.â
Why did embarrassing stuff just keep happening to her. Naga, please save herâŠ
Elros chuckled, his eyes smiling as he watched a flush of color rise to her cheeks. Something about this young womanâs presence was different from the other people Elros had met in Stella City so far. Her attire reminded him of his world, Golarion. It felt familiair, somehow.Â
âIf not a paladin then a fighter, perhaps?â Elros glanced her over and noticed she was carrying quite the impressive sword with her. âYour blade... where was it made? Could it be dwarven forged?âÂ
Elrosâ scimitar paled in comparison. A blade was a blade, however. As long as his blade was sharp enough to end his foeâs lives and suffering in one strike there was nothing else he could wish for.
âItâs alright, I did not mind in the slightest. If you are feeling like breading my hair you have my permission.â
