Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 18 Author #21 Report Share Posted February 18 Onora's eyes passed over the field, searching for something that was beyond Nari's comprehension. She saw the blonde's eyes hover over a collection of ponds for a brief moment, before passing on to another group of the Snapdragons. Further out Nari could see the wolf pack that had been eyeing them for a time before moving on, and she wondered if Onora still desired to chase it down. Before she could ask, however, the blonde had begun moving forwards. Content to follow for the time being, Nari stepped after her friend, her eyes glancing about even as she went. "I'm starting to see why you enjoy getting out and doing this. As nice as the shop can be...there's some freedom to be found here." Nari grinned at Onora's sudden commentary, wondering what had brought about the sudden change in attitude. The blonde side-eyed the knightess as they strode through the grasslands, likely confused as to Nari's silent acceptance of the comment, and the fact that Onora was directing their movements. She could see as Onora opened her mouth to say something, when her head suddenly snapped to the side. "What's that? Nari had spun, spear and shield raised suddenly to face whatever threat was approaching, only to find empty air before them. Her eyes cast about, looking for any signs of danger, before the confusion slipped through her lips in a single word. "Huh?" "That...over there. Looks kinda like a chest, no?" Nari's eyes scanned the ground for a few seconds before spotting the thing, and she found herself suddenly filled with both enthusiasm and skepticism, her eyes staring at it leerily, while she walked forwards to review it.ID219222 | LD: 18+3 = 21 | Search for Chest | Success!

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 18 Author #22 Report Share Posted February 18 "Is that...a treasure chest? I've never actually seen one before...I hear they contain good stuff." Onora had slunk along behind Nari as she approached the thing half buried into the ground. Nari's eyes had scanned the area numerous times on her quick approach, but seeing no immediate danger she had considered them safe for the time being. Curiosity winning over her caution, she pulled a key from her inventory and grinned as she placed it into the keyhole of the chest, looking up at Onora with a sudden twinkle in her eye. "They're supposed to...I've never actually had one before, to be honest. What do you say we open it up and see what we find?" Onora gave a terse nod as Nari twisted the key, hearing the lock within click and the lid suddenly pop open. Nari felt herself recoil as a pair of oversized, hand shaped things sprung from the chest, leaping onto the ground and screeching at her and Onora. She was quick to recover, scrambling to her feet and readying herself even as Onora drew her longsword to hand. "Well, this should be...hey! Get back here!" Onora moved to intercept as one of the things attempted to dash away, her longsword driving it back. A sudden realisation clicked in Nari's mind, and she smiled as she recognised what these were, and what it meant for their find. Far from what she had been expecting to find, they were nonetheless still a worthwhile find, if they could bring them down quickly enough.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 18 Author #23 Report Share Posted February 18 The hand looking creatures had made a few dashes in attempt to escape, but Nari and Onora had managed to hem them back in, side stepping to stand across from one another and force the creatures to remain within striking distance. The two women had worked without comment, knowing exactly where the other was at all times and moving to intercept anything that had slipped through the reach of either one. Nari had taken her time, letting Onora push the second one towards her before she had considered her approach and attack. "Alright, let me try stunning these things. Should give us a bit of time at least!" She lunged forward, lashing out in a wide arc with the spear and slashing across the forms of the hand creatures with the edge of the blade, forcing both into a momentary pause as the stun effect took over. She stepped back, allowing Onora to get a strike in against one of them before nodding to the pair of creatures. "I think these are gilded hands. They drop a large sum of col and materials, but are quick to spook and run...so long as we can keep them in place long enough, we can maybe get a good payday out of this!" Onora's smile told Nari everything she needed to know, and she found herself almost as thrilled as her partner. While it wasn't necessarily what they had been looking for, it was nonetheless a lucky find. Even with Nari's previous trips to the garden, she'd never before come across the things - only hearing stories from other players. Now, however, she wanted more than anything to bring at least one of them down and earn the rewards that their demise brought about.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 18 Author #24 Report Share Posted February 18 Nari's attention was pulled back to the fight fully as the two creatures began to move, the stun wearing off and their oddly shaped forms shifting in preparation for another mad dash. Onora had already begun to move before Nari called out, and she smiled as she realised that the blonde was truly beginning to get the concept around basic battle planning and reactionary skills. Her lessons, as limited as they may have been, appeared to have given Onora at least a bit of knowledge that allowed her to change from the scared, hesitant fighter she had been previously. "Coming your way!" Nari nodded as Onora took a large, wide sweep at the hands, driving them towards Nari. The attack had been little more than a driving feint, meant to scare them off rather than connect with the pair, pushing them towards the higher level player in the hopes that Nari's own sweeping strike would be able to catch the two in a quick, well-timed and more powerful arc. She shifted her form and placed the shield before her, ready to drive back any assault the creatures may attempt against her even as she brought the spear out and slightly to the side, readying the same wide area attack she'd used just moments before. She'd come to enjoy her technical skills over anything else, and while it's stun effect may have limitations, Nari found the attack versatile and useful - boosted and more powerful than any of her other capabilities and skills. "I got them. This one won't stun them, so be prepared to leap in after me!" Onora gave a nod to Nari's direction, already moving in closer so as to hem in the pair of creatures. Nari waited until the last second before stepping forwards and bringing the spear around, looking to connect with the two just as they reached her form, giving them little to nowhere to rush off to in reaction to her sudden push forward.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 18 Author #25 Report Share Posted February 18 The small creatures were far more agile and nimble than Nari could've expected, and as she felt them leap onto her shield and bounce off it, she watched as the spear came around empty - missing both by a wide margin. Surprised by the sudden movement of the things, she watched as one slipped by her reach, disappearing into the distance as Nari leapt after the other, pushing it back and forcing it to remain within their small cordon. "Dammit! One of them got away..." The words were like a growl, and she looked across to see Onora shaking her head in slight disappointment. Neither blamed the other for the happenstance, although both were equally upset by the loss. Sighing, Nari turned her attention to the remaining creature, deciding that capturing one would at least give her some satisfaction. Bringing the spear down, she forced it further back, into a spot where it would be perfectly trapped between the two of them, while also placing Onora out of harms way of any missed stabs with Nari's spear. "Slippery little bastards, aren't they?" Onora said, driving the thing back into place with her longsword as it attempted to make a dash past her. Seeing the opportunity for what it was, Nari brought the spear back slightly before stabbing forward with it, aiming for the creature's centre of mass even as it realised it's mistake.Combat Nari-Lanreth | Lv. 33 | P. 56 | HP [940/940] | EN [86/106] | ACC [4] | DMG [14] | MIT [139] | F.AURA [32 MIT; 16 DMG] B.Healing [+51] | STEALTH [-5] | FRSTBT [40 DMG; -1 ACC] | THORNS [72] | PARA [8+] | HM [+4 B.DMG] | LD: 3 | +4 EN +51 HP | -13 EN Gilded Hand 1 | HP: 224/396 | DMG: 132 | ACC: 2 | EVA: 2 | Stun Immunity [1/3] ID219229 | BD: 4+4-2 = 6 | <<Tech-G vs. Gilded Hand 1>> | Hit: [14x16] = 224 damage | Gilded Hand 1 destroyed!

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 18 Author #26 Report Share Posted February 18 The hand creature exploded, leaving Nari and Onora staring at one another over the short distance between them. Nari was the first to start laughing, realising how intense the two had become in the last few moments. They'd worked together as an excellent team, driving the creature towards it's doom with barely any words between them to direct their actions. She felt a sense of pride in their capabilities, and a sign of how close they had become as of late. Shaking off the feeling of tenseness that had built in her shoulders, Nari found a nearby piece of garden to settle into, her fingers naturally combing through the area as her gathering skills took over subconsciously. "You know...it's amazing, in a way. Isn't it? This entire world, when you stop and look at it. I know that we should hate it..." Her words dropped off as she realised that she'd spoken something that, prior to now, she would never have uttered aloud to another individual. Somehow, though, it felt right to say it now. Especially considering the topic the two had broached earlier, and the ways in which their commentary had seemed so aligned. Nari couldn't help but wonder if Onora felt the same as her in that sense. "...because it trapped us here, and we should feel spite and ire towards it, until it releases us from this hellhole that has become our lives?" Onora finished the thought as a question, having settled down beside Nari. The blonde took some time to look over her gear, making a few minor adjustments to the pieces using a collection of field repair kits that she'd produced. Her eyes remained on the equipment, not looking up as she continued her commentary. "I supposed we could. We could scream at the sky, the walls, the rivers...but why? It's not the fault of this world - or even Cardinal, in some ways - that we're stuck here. It didn't lure us in and lock the door. It didn't envelope us and close any escape. If anything, we should be mad at Kayaba and his team that created this world, but not the world itself...the world has done nothing wrong - other than exist. Can you hate something just because it exists as it's designed to do? Or do you take pity upon it, and love it regardless...?"

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 18 Author #27 Report Share Posted February 18 Nari was silent for a few seconds as she considered Onora's words. They were such an echo to her own thoughts that she couldn't help but wonder if Onora was reading her mind, saying aloud what Nari had been worried to admit to from the beginning. She wondered, for a brief moment, if the other was little more than Cardinal projecting some imagery of a person upon her - but that was dismissed as she realised the impossible. Instead, she found herself considering how alike the two of them were. When she did reply, her voice was soft and subdued. "Why shouldn't we take some enjoyment from it, then? Who's to say we need to destroy it all, any more than we need to? Why can't we find lives here, while still pushing to escape it's enthralment?" Whatever response Nari was expecting, Onora didn't give it. The blonde was quiet, refusing to say what they both knew their answers would be. There was nothing to stop them from having lives, enjoying their time in the game as much as they could. Now that the initial fear had faded, they could take some time to really find peace, or a degree of it, in the chaos that was Aincrad. Even as Nari's hands continued to search the area, she found herself glancing towards Onora, knowing that she had already found a measure of peace and happiness in the death game that was Sword Art Online. If these are to be our last days, why should they be filled with fear, horror and anger? Why wouldn't we look to find some sort of peace, happiness...fond memories to carry us to that final moment before everything is gone? She found no immediate answer to her question. Rather than worry her, it instead seemed to calm something within her. She realised, perhaps for the first time since entering the game, that she wasn't at a loss. She wasn't necessarily in control, but she could make decisions for herself. She could choose to fight, or to relax, or to take time for herself. The realisation brought a smile to her face, and she found herself more relaxed than she had been in some time. ID219245 | LD: 4+4 = 8 | CD: 2+1 = 3 | Result: Nix.

The question caught Nari off guard, and she found her eyes flitting around as if trying to figure out whether it truly was a nice day or not, her mind slowly catching up with the words even as she realised the simplicity in the query. Onora, who had seen the stunned response, shook with laughter as Nari slowly felt her face flush, punching the blonde softly in the shoulder as she settled back into her subconscious gathering attempts. She'd found little in the way of success so far, but that wasn't going to stop her from making attempts, at least. "It's always fun to throw you off your game, it's like...I don't know, childlike in a way? I'm just having fun, though. There's no need to look so serious." Onora's words were still punctured with soft laughter as she tried to console the knightess, and Nari found herself smiling back in spite of her small annoyance at being called childlike. She glanced over the fields once more, taking in the picturesque environment that lay before them, and smiling slightly wider in response. "You're right. It is a beautiful day. Perfect for spending with a beautiful woman." There was a sucking sound from Onora as the blonde took her turn to show surprise, and Nari couldn't help but stick her tongue out in response, taking pleasure in the reaction and the way in which she had caught Onora by surprise. It wasn't often that she had the upper hand on their little game, and she found herself taking an immense pleasure in her sudden success.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 18 Author #29 Report Share Posted February 18 "Starting to get tired yet?" Onora's head had begun to sink slowly, a sign that they had been settled for far too long. They'd been here for longer than Nari had originally planned, and she found that she was mimicking the blonde's sentiment. Giving a slight nod towards the wolves, Onora added to her original question. "Should we go say hello before maybe heading home entirely? I know that you and they have been eyeing each other up the entire time we've been here, figured maybe you would want to get some time together." Nari's eyes shifted over the wolves, and she considered the possibility. They'd come to do some serious grinding for gear, and although they'd found a fair bit so far, she couldn't help but think there was still more to be found. Giving a nod, she rose to her feet and stretched out her tired muscles. They'd already begun to settle into place with the resting they'd had, and she could feel the complaints against the sudden movement, the desire to remain seated fighting against her desire to get up and move. "Yeah, I'm up for it if you're not too exhausted. I mean, we wouldn't want to push you past your limi-" The rough strike cut off Nari's jesting, and she stumbled backwards in feigned pain, groaning slightly. Onora simply shook her head, well aware that she didn't have the strength or skill to seriously harm Nari - yet.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 20 Author #30 Report Share Posted February 20 Onora had already begun moving towards the small pack of wolves, even as Nari had pretended to recover from the shot to her ribs. Shaking her head and chasing after the blonde, Nari gave a quick glance over the area, making sure they weren't accidentally pulling in anything further during their travel between the two small areas. She could see a pair of Snapdragons in the distance, and a few of the large Knight creatures that carried razor sharp blades for hands. Her eyes shifted over Nemo, standing off by himself with a pleased look on his face, and Nari found herself pausing in step for a moment. Something about Nemo's entire figure caught her attention, and she found herself wondering - if just for the moment - at the humanity behind it all. "If you stare much longer I'm going to think I have competition." Onora's voice was beside her ear, and Nari jumped slightly in response as she turned towards the blonde. Somehow she'd missed the retracing of the blonde's steps whenever they had noticed Nari's momentary pause, and she couldn't help but chide herself for it. "He looks a bit lonely, doesn't he? In a weird way." Nari nodded before shaking off the feeling, heading over towards the wolf pack with renewed interest. Her mind lingered, if only for a moment, on the thought; the way in which Nemo seemed somehow, at his core, sad about his current situation. A situation that he was stuck within. Maybe we're not so different after all. She shook off the feeling as she turned towards the goal in mind, preparing herself for the coming conflict of combat that would encompass her very being for the moments it last.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 20 Author #31 Report Share Posted February 20 All thoughts of Nemo's currently expressions were left behind as Nari entered the fight in truth, spinning in the air as she brought the spear around in a wide arc meant to dislodge and drive back any form of resistance that her initial strike may have missed. She found herself landing in the centre of the mob of wolves, her spear tip slashing across the noses of each in kind - enough of a connection to drive the stun effect into their body, and allow Onora to follow up with precisely timed strikes from their sides, before the pair fell back into a defensive posture. "I don't think they like us now." Onora smiled from beside Nari, the blonde's excitement clearly rising at the entry in battle and conflict once more. Nari could see the energy flowing through her friend, the adrenaline coursing stronger. She thought back to her early days of fighting, recognising some of the signs. "I don't think so, no...but be on guard now. This is when it gets dangerous. They'll be able to retaliate momentarily...and trust me, they'll want to after that entry." Nari took up her typical defensive posture, preparing for the counter attacks that she knew would be coming momentarily.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 20 Author #32 Report Share Posted February 20 One of the wolves exploded into shards before it was given the chance to launch itself at Nari's form. She felt the impact as two others slammed into her shield, pushed off to the side even as she felt the third slam it's claws into the side of her head. She felt herself spin slightly to the side with the blow, her health bar barely reacting to the assault even though the force of it knocked her aside. She shook it off in time to see one of the wolves lash out at Onora, the blonde's longsword struck aside before the claws raked across her side, cutting a minimal amount of health from the bar in Nari's sight. "I'm alright, I'm alright. But let's maybe end this soon, yeah?" Onora called out before Nari could even attempt to get mad at the danger of the situation. The knightess found herself calming instantly; the voice of her friend having an effect on her mind that she would've otherwise stated was impossible. Nodding at the suggestion, Nari focused instead on closing the fight itself, realising that her own aggressive action would bring about the safest pathway for the two of them. "Alright. They're almost dead anyways. I think we can end this pretty easily." She gave a quick glance around, making sure the area was still relatively clear, before launching into her flurry of strikes, moving between the wolves as she watched for openings that could be used to their disadvantage.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 21 Author #33 Report Share Posted February 21 Silence fell over the field as the final wolf exploded into the shimmering shards that marked death in the world of Aincrad. Nari felt her breath release, the held air pushing out with a soft whistling sound that signified the stress she'd been holding inside her the last few seconds. Her eyes shifted towards Onora, confirming that the blonde was safe and alright following the conflict. She considered crossing the small distance to ensure the other's safety, but figured such actions were unnecessary, and would likely only bother the blonde more than appease. Instead, she turned her attention to the fields before them, considering what would take up the remainder of their time in the garden. "Well, we could just...take a few minutes to relax, rather than rushing into the next fight." Onora spoke from beside her, having stepped up to Nari's side at some point when her attention was elsewhere. Nodding slightly, Nari's own response was a simple hum of agreement as her eyes glanced over the flowing fields that seemed to reach out into the horizon. "Yeah, just looking for what comes after. So that we can...you know, plan a bit." Onora's hand slapped the side of Nari's shoulder, pushing the knightess forwards ever so slightly. Shaking her head in response, ignoring the general taunting of Onora as she did so, Nari settled onto the grass and sighed slightly. "It is nice to just...settle, once in a while. Isn't it?"

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 22 Author #34 Report Share Posted February 22 "Somehow the word planning coming from you just sounds...weird." Onora stuck her tongue out as Nari threw a pinecone towards her, the piece lifted from the ground without thought and lobbed with a soft overarm throw. It landed well wide of the other player, rolling away into the grass and disappearing from sight. The jest had been expected as soon as Nari had stated the words, and she felt no real agitation at the joke thrown out towards her, but she knew that the reaction would be expected as much as the words. Instead of playing into it further, however, Nari turned her attention back to the fields stretching out before them, letting her mind wander to thoughts that she had pushed down earlier. After some time, she found the question reaching her ears as she spoke it aloud without realising, the thought bubbling upwards and outwards towards Onora with a disregard for the concern it could bring to either party. "Do you ever think that maybe we deserve to be in here...for things we did in the past? Maybe this is a punishment for...our histories?" The hand that laid across Nari's face was gentler than she would've expected. Placed, rather than struck, it forced the knightess to look the blonde in the eyes, the emotion behind the stare evident even to her. She tried to shake off the glare, the message behind it, but was unable to pull herself away. When Onora spoke, it was slow, calm and low; void of anger or pity, filled instead with a tone of caring that Nari felt was unreasonable in the circumstances. "I know where that line of thought goes, and where it comes from. You don't need to do that to yourself. Ever. Take comfort in the knowledge that you are not being punished for what you did...and that what you did was right, in the moment. I'll say and hear no more of it, is that understood?" With nothing else to do other than nod, Nari's face was released and she found herself staring back over the fields of the garden. Hushed into silence, she found herself remaining quiet in response to the reaction from Onora, considering what the woman had said and it's deeper meaning. Link to post Share on other sites
Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 27 Author #35 Report Share Posted February 27 The silence had stretched beyond Nari's comfort, and she was beginning to wonder if they would simply spend the rest of the day staring off over the fields, no further words passed between them. She found herself opening her mouth to speak on numerous occasions, but no words came out. Nothing to break the stretch that was reaching further and further. She was saved from the conundrum of everlasting quiet, however, when Onora suddenly stood up and reached a hand down towards her. "Come on, one last little fight before we head off for the day, yeah?" The blonde wore a simple smile, one which was both reassuring and welcoming to Nari's otherwise hesitant mind. There was no judgement, no condemnation, no restraint behind the blonde's eyes, and Nari found herself nodding in response. Taking Onora's hand, she pulled herself to her feet with the other's help, shaking off the delirium and fatigue that had begun to wash over her body from the inactivity. "Last fight, then we head home. Sounds good...but what do we feel like hitting?" Her eyes ranged over the fields, taking in the assortment of creatures. She considered making suggestions at first, before deciding to let the blonde pick their target, curious to see what Onora would choose. She could see the blonde's eyes following her own, looking over the areas that Nari had glanced past, before settling on a single location in the distance. Nari refrained from looking, waiting instead to hear what the blonde would suggest. Link to post Share on other sites
Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 27 Author #36 Report Share Posted February 27 "Wolves." Onora gave a nod in the direction she'd been staring, and Nari finally turned her attention towards the wolf pack that Onora had indicated and chosen. She felt a small smile touch the corner of her lips, and she gave a soft laugh in response. Onora seemed to be beaming, her expression held back, barely, in a manner that would keep it visible from all but Nari's eyes. She'd come to understand the expressions and appearances of the woman too easily, and could see the brimming excitement behind the mask. "I know how much you love them." The two took off towards the wolf pack, closing the distance quickly and fanning out to surround the animals. Although they were outnumbered by the wolves, Nari found it all too easy to herd and corral them into a location that allowed the two a near pincer like movement against their flanks, the weapons and shouts thrown at the creatures driving them back in on one another in confusion. Nari kept her gaze fixed on the animals, trusting Onora to lead the other two towards the two that the knightess was prodding into place, her shield raised in preparation for the coming counterattack that the creatures would eventually release against them. "Set!" Onora called out from the other side of the forms, confirming that she'd managed to push the pack together into a form that would allow Nari free range with her stun attack. Pushing off, she flung herself towards the wolves, slashing and jabbing with the weapon in a manner that would allow her to unleash a strike against each of the creatures in turn, focusing on speed rather than accuracy in a manner that was befitting the area based attack.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 27 Author #37 Report Share Posted February 27 She felt as each of the strikes of the spear connected with some form of the wolves' body, causing them to lock in place as her own steps carried her through and beyond the pack of wolves, out onto the opposite side and clear of the follow-up strikes that Onora released against the creatures. Nari couldn't help but smile as she watched over the blonde's form, the range of motions slightly wider than a perfect stance, but a far cry of improvement compared to when she had first met her. She glanced over the wolves, shifting her position as she waited for them to overcome the freezing status that held them in place temporarily, taking refuge in the momentary pause of the conflict. "Nicely done. You've improved a lot, you know." Nari kept her eyes on the wolves even as she complimented Onora. She could see out of the corner of her eyes the way that the blonde's face reddened ever so slightly in response, but both kept from commenting any further. Instead, they awaited the next round of conflict that was about to occur, Nari keeping an eye for the opening she would need to unleash her second collection of strikes against the creatures. She released the breath she'd been holding as she saw the opportunity present itself, moving to slash and stab with the spear even as the wolves came together in a manner likely meant to prevent any strike from getting too close - and yet providing the perfect opportunity for Nari to force her way through their ranks once more.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 27 Author #38 Report Share Posted February 27 A trio of wolves exploded as Nari passed through, glancing back to notice as Onora gave a finishing blow to one of the creatures, the others having died from Nari's own strikes. The remaining wolf had attempted to slash it's claws out towards the knightess, but the attack had been easily turned aside by Nari's shield, forcing the thing to back off as Onora rushed to join the knightess and press the final attack that would bring the creature down. Nari gave a quick flash of a grin towards Onora, seeing the same excitement and rush of adrenaline in the blonde as coursed through her own form. "Almost too easy nowadays, isn't it?" Nari spoke casually, her breath calm and her outward appearance controlled. Although the fight was far from difficult, she still felt a rush of sensations knowing that it was quickly coming to a close, and that they'd be free to range once more through the fields. She wasn't sure that she wanted it to end so soon - there was a certain part of her that enjoyed watching Onora's engagement in the fighting, a side of her that enjoyed seeing the movements and forms that showed her progress in the task at hand. Still, she knew it must come to an end at some point, and felt a moment of pride in the change of the other's skills in such a short time. "Well, don't be staring at my ass then...let's finish this." Nari broke out in laughter at the comment, and shook her head softly before stepping towards the wolf. The thing seemed to realise the danger it was in, and worked to back away from the pair, it's eyes looking for any weakness in the defence that Nari placed between itself and them.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 27 Author #39 Report Share Posted February 27 The final shards of the wolf disappeared into the sky, and Nari found herself letting a sigh of relief escape her. Her eyes hovered over the area the wolf had stood mere seconds ago, before turning to face Onora. The blonde was breathing heavily - the rush of the conflict and the amount of effort that they'd been putting in clearly more than Onora was used to in her daily work - and Nari found herself grinning again. Her voice, when she spoke, was filled with a level of sarcastic humour as she poked at the friend. "You know, if you spent more time out here exercising, you'd be in better shape..." A statement that they both knew was irrelevant, seeing as their forms and capabilities were entirely dependant on their levels, rather than their physical capabilities. Still, Nari saw the hovering edge of a smile on Onora's face, and awaited the rebuttal that she knew was coming. "You should help me work on that then. Spend more time exercising with me, and less time playing with yourself." Several seconds passed before each of them broke out into a fit of laughter, their immature humour taking over when neither could hold it in any longer. Nari felt herself shaking from the laughter, a collection of tears leaving her eyes to roll down the side of her face. Moments passed before she finally managed to push back the laughter, looking around at the garden and trying to figure out where to go from here. Sighing, she moved over towards Onora and gave the woman a hug, bringing a soft sigh of confusion from the blonde. "Don't leave me." Link to post Share on other sites
Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 27 Author #40 Report Share Posted February 27 Onora gave no response to the words, instead simply hugging Nari tighter. There was no need to say anything as the two of them embraced. She wasn't sure how long they stood there, but when they did eventually break apart it appeared to Nari as if the sun had shifted in the sky. Silently, the two came to the agreement to head home for the day. They made their way towards the gate that signalled the entrance from the garden, taking time to say their goodbyes and thanks to Nemo for their time spent in the garden. The man, as always, seemed sad to have them leave, but placed no attempts to resist their departure. Nari couldn't help but notice the difference from her first visit, and found herself almost feeling bad for the man. Leaving promises to return, the two made their way back out onto the main floor of the world, taking in the difference between the garden and the floor itself. They still had a few hours travel time ahead of them, and although they fell into small talk, Nari couldn't help but feel like the comfort of the garden had been left behind. Sighing slightly, she turned her attention towards home, grinning as she thought of what to have for dinner, what their next adventures would be, and what the future still held in store for them. She had no doubt that they'd return, but also that they'd find new things to take up their time and bring their bond even closer together.
