I have a fancy old desk with locking mechanisms that follow no pattern at all. Which means I locked myself out of my own desk in front of thirty three sixth graders. Never a dull moment.

The young woman glanced over her list of orders that were waiting for her, and she could not help but shudder. There was so much to do, and so little time to do it all. Since her epic failure with Claim, she had more or less avoided her shop. It had been such an embarrassment, and she really did not want to put anyone else through that. But today, she had a more specific, more urgent task. Zel had come to her with a time-sensitive order, insisting that he needed as many items as possible as quickly as possible. Though he had not elaborated, and Lessa had not asked questions, she had agreed to

"Whoa," Lessa breathed as she witnessed Daeron's enormous hit. That must be how it feels to be a level 32, she found herself thinking. I'll be there one day. This thought gave her a boost of courage, and she was a bit more cocky than she had meant to be when she answered Daeron. "Don't worry about me! I'll be fine." To prove her point, she shoved off her back foot and threw herself toward the action. As she neared the first NPC, she slowed to a halt. The bandit, who would not be duped a second time, squared off against her. The blonde met his gaze, gripped her sword's hilt tighter, and shi

Once she had finished running her fingers through her hair, she turned back to Alkor. Lessa knew he would already be in motion, ready to take on the next threat. He was relentless that way, never wasting a second that could be spent putting an enemy down. But when she moved her attention to him, she was startled to see that he had already completed his attack. He was watching her with an unreadable expression on her face. She caught his gaze and gave him a broad smile. This is nice, Lessa thought to herself. Her smile did not waver as she threw herself into the frenzy. Her gaze was on the

Lessa winced as his words turned cold once more. "You misunderstood," she insisted, turning back to him. She found his gaze once more, and held it as she assured him she was not mocking him. "In fact, I admire your drive. I always have. Sometimes, I wish I could have the same passion, but I just don't." And she meant those words. Occasionally, she wanted to feel what he felt, and live how he lived. How simple a life like his must be, with only one goal in mind. Feeling nothing but the desire to win the game, and letting everything else fall away. To think of nothing else from the time he w -
As he withdrew his finger, and told her how pleased he was to see her, Lessa gave him a soft smile. Standing beside him, she realized just how nice it was to be with him again too. The past few weeks had been especially turbulent, and it was a welcome relief to be away from those who worked to complicate everything she knew and felt. Regardless of whether or not they knew what they were doing to her, it was taking its toll. The woman needed a break, and Daeron was providing her with one. She could think of no reason not to enjoy herself while she was with him. Lessa turned to the bandits,

Fear not, ladies and gents. I will reply to the boss as soon as I possibly can. Can't get to a computer right now due to Thanksgiving with the family.

"Hey, no worries, alright?" She responded, though the smile she gave him was a sad one. Her shoulders rose and fell with a soft shrug, and then she crossed her arms tightly across her chest. "Yeah, I like him. But its not a big deal." Her feelings were hurt, though she had no reason for them to be. Alkor had never once hinted at a relationship, and he could not be accused of stringing her along by any stretch of the imagination. No, this pain she felt was entirely her fault. She had found hints of romance where there were none. For that, she could not blame him. "So don't apologize," she fin -
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful to have you lovely people in my life. :)

His message had come out of nowhere, but it had not surprised her. The woman had figured that he would reach out to her at some point, and so his message did not catch her entirely off guard. And truthfully, she found herself delighted by his note. She certainly enjoyed his company, and she had been wondering what he had been up to. Besides, these quests were brand new. Lessa had no idea what they were about, and she figured Daeron was the perfect player to explore them with. She spotted him from quite a distance away, but he did not make any motion to let her know he spotted her. The woman

"Yes, me," she replied with a small laugh. "I mean it! I'm really good at working with people, but I still struggle with sorting out my own emotions. I can hand out advice all day, but taking my own often proves difficult." As he spoke of beaches, Lessa turned her face into the wind. It gently brushed back her hair, and she closed her eyes. There was a moment of clarity as she took a deep breath, drinking in the night, and filling her lungs with the cool air. "I've been to the beaches of the Great Lakes a few times," she told him without opening her eyes. "But I've never been to anything lar -

Lessa let out a peal of her own laughter as Alkor's voice changed. His voice was beautiful, and she found herself hoping that he would not resort back to the detached, matter-of-fact one that she had come to know. In that brief moment, she had been given a glimpse into Alkor's real life. Or no, not Alkor. The voice she had heard came from the man himself. The man who was confined to a bed somewhere, attached to the nerve gear that brought him to her. She placed his accent somewhere in the southern United States, but she did not know enough to be more specific. Our bodies could be lying just ho -

Her eyes dropped to her lap as he took a seat beside her. The evening air was cooler, and the breeze was a bit more powerful than it had been previously, though it was still nothing especially bothersome. It had just enough kick to bend the blades of grass to its will, and blow a few strands of blonde hair around her head. Both hands reached back to pile her hair over her right shoulder, and her fingers began working out the kinks. Straightening out her hair was another terrible nervous habit that she had been unable to break. "You don't have to apologize," she replied, still letting her fin -

"No," she replied, though far too quickly. She blinked a few times at her own rushed response. After everything that had happened, she still could not let him go. It was a a terrible, wonderful thing, having him so close to her. It killed him, but it brought her life. And the selfish player could not see it any other way. "I don't want you to go." He seemed more at ease now, which was good. Lessa recognized that she had seen him at his worst, and though she prayed she would never see it again, she knew, deep down, she would. Their friendship, if that was the appropriate word, was a strange o -

And like that, the weight from her midsection was lifted. Alkor had removed himself from her body. Off to do something else, though she knew not what. The woman they called Wild Rose did not even open her eyes as her... attacker?... moved away. Instead, she rolled to her side, curling up into a pitiful ball in the tall grass. She arched her back, drawing her knees to her chest, and hugging her arms tightly across the front of her breastplate. The position gave her some comfort as she waited for his next move. Was he preparing to kill her, looming over her frightened body with his weapon drawn? -

Her lips parted as she went to speak. Why, he had asked her. Because he was the closest thing she had to family in SAO. Because every morning when she woke up, she checked her friends list to ensure that he was still there, that he was still alive. Every evening, before drifting off, she did the same. He occupied her thoughts all of the time. Was it romance? Maybe not. But it was real, whatever it was. He had become a brother to her in the short time she had known him, and the thought of anything happening to him made her sick. But she did not have the opportunity to tell him all of this. -

Completely horrified, the young woman took a panicked step backwards. Again, her sympathy had been met with nothing but harsh words and irrational behavior. What am I doing wrong? Her mind frantically raced to create some sort of explanation, to provide her with some sort of Plan B. But there was nothing. Alkor gave her nothing to work with, and left her utterly clueless. There was no pattern here. He would drop down to his knees before her, but shy away from her touch. He tore her hands away from his face, put placed his own hands on hers only moments later. She had no idea what he was doing, -

"Claim, hello!" Lessa cried, coming forth from the depths of her shop. She had some soot on her cheeks, but they were still rosy red from the heat of the fire. "I'm glad you were able to come up with the materials. Your equipment is ready for you." The blonde flashed the other player a broad smile, then brought up her trade window.
