❀ SEMI HIATUS.

    ❝ S - SEVERA ! We’re not going through this again ! Are you trying to traumatise me ?! ❞ Oh, he’s flustered alright.

                          when he arrived at his tent, she had already made herself comfortable – well, as comfortable as she could be while being so on edge.  really, why did she even agree to this?  crossing her arms a bit, she looked away as he entered.   “ took you a while. ”  oh, right.  he was making tea.  clearing her throat, she continued her statement.  " anyways, you wished to look at the stars, didn’t you?  so, pray tell why i am waiting inside your tent? “  

                       her gaze keeps away from him, unable to meet his eyes.  the last thing she thought he would do was grab her hands.  despite the displeased look on her face, she didn’t try to rip away from him.  " i don’t know.  you’re a man after all-  j-just know i’m keeping my eye on you!!!  oh uh– sure. “

   REGARDLESS of her protests, he couldn’t help but notice that she didn’t actually make the effort to force their hands apart and that itself was enough to make him grin like a fool. ❝ Alright, alright but I swear on my word ! ❞ With that, he let her go and offered her a widened smile. ❝ I’ll go ahead and prepare some tea for the both of us but you’re free to wait at my tent if you don’t feel like accompanying me. I’ll try not to keep you waiting, milady. ❞

    ❝ WELL, we’re close enough to get even CLOSER, wouldn’t you think ? Besides, while we share covers, we can also watch the stars together. Doesn’t that sound ROMANTIC ? ❞ 

                       " ugh!  do you think about anything other than trying to flirt with me? “  with a small huff, she crosses her arms, looking away.  ” you know what.  fine.  only because it’s cold outside!  if you try anything weird i swear i will make this sword pierce right through your heart! “

    ❝ I’M not only trying to flirt with you but I’m just hoping to spend more time with you ! ❞ He smiled, regardless of her protest but her next words sent him in surprise. ❝ Huh ? Really ?! ❞ Immediately, his smile spread wider and he grasped her hands into her, unable to contain his excitement. ❝ In that case, we can share covers in my tent tonight ! I promise I won’t do anything, my love. You know I am quite the gentleman. Shall we prepare something hot to drink together ? ❞

                       " excuse me?  what makes you think you can just ask me that?!“

      THE mercenary’s eyes practically twinkled when she actually agreed -- and by Naga, he couldn’t believe his ears ! To think that the lovely ice queen decided not to stomp off and smack off his attempts today. His heart was fluttering at the possibility that ladyluck was smiling down upon him this time around. 

KISSES FOR THE BIRTHDAY BOY!!

     ❝ OF course ! The bigger question is, are you ready ? I mean, you’re getting old so don’t push yourself too hard. ❞ Jokes aside, he was always up to spar with his father since it wasn’t often that they had this chance to. It was a great bonding activity between them and considering that his father was always so busy, he’s always felt the need to show off how much he’s improved when they did have the time. Honestly, spending several years as Lord Xander’s retainer certainly paid off and he could safely say that he was on par with his father at this point. Of course, it made their sparring sessions far more interesting as they were basically on the same level.

     ❝ Besides, if I beat you again, I can happily brag to mother about it !❞
