[F21-PP-PT] Sweet Nothing

[Eruda 0]

It was late afternoon, Eruda is sitting at the guild hall table. Papers were laid across the table with only two in front of her. One a check list of things that she had been wanting to do for a while. She found herself having more free time these days and she wanted to spend them wisely before they got busy again. The other parchment was a location. After all this time of being here and looking at all the beautiful described floors she had yet to see a waterfall. That was the first thing on her bucket list. She wasn't really sure if she could get it all done in one day given she started late today but it was worth a try. 

Hair tied up with a purple and now red ribbon, she knew that it might look a little weird but that crimson red fabric was not allowed to stay in a box anymore. A  light pink sun dress on that went just above her knees with spaghetti straps and little frills of fabric that hung on the sides of each shoulder. It also had a black belt sowed into the waist that didn't do much but look pretty, at least to her. A pair of mid calf black boots with no heels, she didn't know if rocks would be her friend with heels. It was her most recent creation and she though she would try it out today. Setting the paper in her inventory, she didn't want to get it wet. Getting out of her chair, she would start heading to floor 21.

A lot of stuff has happened with her and Rai these last couple days that were magical. She was kinda wondering if he was still doing his morning deliveries. It was nice that he was helping the poor townsfolk in the damaged villages. Knowing that the raid had already started so there was no potions or gear to be made until next time. She was curious to know if what he was doing today. Looking at her map it would be a little bit of a track but she thinks it would be worth it. 

Quote

To: Raidou
From: Eruda
If you are not busy, meet me. I'll be at the Underground Waterfall entrance on floor 21.

With the chime of her HUD the message was sent. He should know where it is, the information was written in his handwriting and he doesn't forget anything. Eruda continues the journey, not really sure where she was going but she knew how to navigate the map. When she got there, she would wait ten minutes for either a response back or an appearance. She couldn't expect Raidou to want to spent every day with her but she would hope that he could and wanted to, at least today.

[Raidou 1]

The man would travel through a road that he was more than familiar, given that most of the mapping of this floor was done by him in particular. The caverns of Tomoika were vast, and yet the man could navigate them quicker then the skin on the back of his hand. The thicker yellow miasma that did not lend itself well to those that wished to breach it, required that players move quickly through it. His health would tick down slowly, but his vitality would allow it to climb back to full without much direct intervention. From the town of Charko the man only needed to make a small detour to reach the place that Eruda had asked to meet up, so it was not too much trouble to do so. The taps of his boots would have rocks grind a bit underfoot against the rougher pocked stone underneath, eluding to his arrival before anything. "Been waiting long?" The man asked as he looked past the blonde into the roaring water, being mixed into a vibrant spectrum of colors through the stones beneath casting off light that would ooze through the clear white waves. 

He'd adjust his robe and nestle in it, his attentions fixed out where the water would gather. Raidou found himself slightly curious at to what the girls intentions were. The red wanderer was always busy, but not so much so that he couldn't spare time for his loved ones. Elda especially.

It had been less than ten minutes before Raidou showed up, the minute she sees him her eyes light up in excitement. "Not really, just got here myself." Seeing him fixated on the falls behind them, they were still a distance away but the pouring water and the colors that reverberating off the rocks was prominent. "I know this is an odd place to meet, but I haven't seen one up close." She would turn toward the cave, "I made a list of stuff that I wanted to do about a year ago, a bucket list if you prefer the phrase." She would begin to walk in, it started to get a bit louder but that was to be expect. Shifting her head to glance to Rai over her shoulder, "I know that we just spend a few days together but..." dropping mid sentence her face began to redden just thinking about it. Clearing her throat with a small fist in front of her mouth "But to be honest most of my list I can't do without you." She said this a bit too quickly but it was embarrassing. Walking a little faster, her emotions were going wild and after those last few days she knew that wasn't going to change. Standing on a cliff side looking down it looked amazing, mist lightly hit her face. 

Heat raised against her cheeks, the real reason she wanted him here was she wanted to spend more time with him. She found out so much about him in those last two days, she just wanted more. In a way it was addicting, but she didn't want to come off like she was being needy or obsessed even if half of it was true. This was her first relationship and she didn't want to mess it up. She wanted to be honest with him, wanted to tell him everything. "I..." she couldn't find the words,  how could she explain it in a way that didn't make her sound crazy. "I wanted to spend more time with you, but I understand if you might be too busy." A deep breath, her chest was heavy, she turns to face him. She wanted to run into his arms and hug him but the ground was slick. So instead she started looking for a way down. Finding a small winding path, it looked like it was going down but there was only one way to find out. She would make her way slowly down, watching her step with every foot fall. She was holding the wall as she walked, the path was only a few feet wide.

[Raidou 1]

The man would offer pursuit without any resistance, offering the quick response "Good, most of my morning is clear." He'd sate her curiosity and any inhibition to the notion. Raidou's morning tasks had been handled quite readily, jumping around from floor to floor like usual did take its own fair shake. The man would lean down and pick up a flatter stone. That adamant and stoic expression that he always wore still clung to his brow, one that spoke in facts and simple truths. "Lead the way." the man offered for her take the wheel, allowing for her to work through whatever hooks that would slow her down with that patience. But her hesitation on the path to take. His feet easily seek out spaces to lock in, given the sheer amount of these cliff faces he'd scaled. Hell some of them even moved and yet he would do it all the same. Every so often, he'd offer a hand up to help guide her to the safest route. At the base where the multitude of falls would dribble into the center basin, and Raidou would flick the flattened rock like a coin before snatching it out of the air. A twist he'd toss it across the clear surface, sending it skipping simply and living small splashes as it coasts. "Elda I'm here for you, there is no place I need to be. Relax." Raidou would offer to give her some peace of mind.

Watching the rock skip ten times over, she would smile. Looking for another that was semi flat, she decided to try. Finding one, she would shift her body slightly to line her eyes with the pool of water, as she pulls her arm back a bit. With a flick of her wrist, it skips three time. Without thinking about it she jumps raising her arms with "YES" before slowly pulling them down behind her back. Pushing her lips together, turning to Rai with a small chuckle. "First time" remarking as heat build in her face. After a moment her eyes would go to the falls, all the different colors. She began to wonder if there was something like this in the real world. She knew that there was waterfalls but curious if with the right ores beneath it if it would gleam the same way. "Well good, your making dinner tonight then" turning to meet his eyes. "I make it every night, it is your turn" a smirk forms on her lips. 

Taking a deep breath as she glancing to the purple liquid splashing down. Shaking her hands in front of her, "Okay, so just to be clear" pausing as she takes off her shoes and tosses then to the side. Dipping her toe in the water with a small shiver. "I was going to do this with or without you" eyes peer around the rocky area to make sure there was no movement. Nothing was around, a shift to look into the water, it looked deep enough. Taking a deep breath, "It just makes it a bit more..." pausing as she pulls her straps off her shoulders, she trying to find the right word "Interesting." Taking a slow deep breath, her eyes meet his for only a moment before she turns and the dress drops to the ground. Not looking back she didn't want to get cold feet, even though that was exactly what was going to happen when slipping into the water. Getting to the edge, her heart was beating a million miles a second. Lifting herself down into the water with a gasp as she slinks in further. Only her eyes and nose were showing, another piece of clothing is toss up, as she would pull the two ribbons from her hair letting it fall and float on the waters surface. She didn't want to loose them. Strolling back a bit eyes meeting those ember eyes for only a moment before Eruda disappears into the waterfall.
