[i]Alyssa looked over at Charlie, and somehow her smile widened. She ran up to him, looking up at his face.[/i] "Hi," [i]She said breathlessly.[/i]
English
-
[i]Charlie immediately replaced his gloom face with a smile upon noticing Alyssa.[/i] "Hello, Miss Alyssa. Having a good day?"
-
"Y-yeah. You?" [i]She asked, looping her right arm around Charlie's left, having to turn her face up quite a lot to see his, a full nine inches above hers.[/i]
-
"Uhhh..." [i]Charlie looked around at all of the people giving him stares before looking back down at Alyssa and replying.[/i] "...G-Great! Really! I mean, the weather and uhh the people are so...kind?"[i] One of the nearby people makes a threatening gesture.[/i]
-
[i]Alyssa looks over at the one to make the rude gesture, and grits her teeth in anger. She looked as though she was about to walk over and punch the guy, but quickly turned back to Charlie, smiling again.[/i] "Hey, it'll be alright! Promise."
-
"Ha. Tell that to the people who want me dead. Why do they want me dead anyway? I honestly can't remember anything before waking up with you on top of me."
-
[i]Alyssa's smile faltered, but soon regained its solidity.[/i] "Dunno... they're prejudiced," [i]She said, hugging Charlie closer to herself.[/i] "Nobody's fault but theirs!"
-
[i]Charlie hugged her back loosely as he was still focused on the reasoning behind the hate.[/i] "You have to have some idea. I mean, you knew me before I lost my memory. Was it something I did?"
-
"No clue!" [i]Alyssa said genuinely, sighing as Charlie hugged her, kissing his cheek lightly.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie chuckled and kissed her on the cheek as well.[/i] "Well, what was my job then? All I remember is a room...and office I think. I'm a psychiatrist...should I be at work somewhere? Where's my family? Do I have family?" [i]Charlie was getting very anxious.[/i]
-
"I-I dunno, Charlie...." [i]Alyssa's jolly mood was fading, fading into worry for Charlie.[/i] "But you have me... I think."
-
"Yeah, I do..." [i]Charlie holds Alyssa closer.[/i] "...and that's all I need." [i]He then gets a glance at the sword.[/i] "You're a swordsman?"
-
[i]Alyssa coughed.[/i] "Swordswoman." [i]She knew it wasn't a word, but didn't particularly care; she was merely joking around.[/i] "And no... but I'd like to learn."
-
"Swordswoman isn't a real word, Miss Alyssa." [i]He was completely oblivious to the joke.[/i] "I'd love to help, but I don't know anything about swordsmanship. Do I know how to fight?" [i]Charlie went over to a nearby weapon bin.[/i] "What do we got here? What catches my eye? Ah!" [i]Charlie pulls out two wooden tonfas.[/i] "Tonfas!...Why do I know what this is?"
-
[i]Alyssa laughed slightly, rolling her bright green eyes at Charlie as she followed him.[/i] "Those things... look fancy," [i]She says, looking at the tonfas.[/i] "Way fancier than this sword here, hah."
-
[i]Charlie laughs.[/i] "Fancier? They're basically just two wooden sticks with handles. Come on, lets spar for fun and experience. You'll probably beat me though because I have no idea what I'm doing." [i]Charlie holds the tonfas and gets in a stance that seems way too perfect for someone who claims to have no experience.[/i] "En Garde?"
-
[i]Alyssa laughed, and nodded.[/i] "En garde," [i]She said, and held the sword in her non dominant hand, her left one, as her right arm was literally just a stump.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie glanced at Alyssa's stump causing his smile to weaken and his hapiness to cease.[/i] "This isn't exactly fair, Miss Alyssa." [i]Charlie puts his right arm behind his back.[/i] "Now show me your battle cry and attack."
-
[i]Alyssa didn't have a battle cry, rather just stepping forward and aiming a weak slash with her non dominant hand, only having enough strength to give Charlie a paper cut. It didn't help that Alyssa didn't want to hurt Charlie, either.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie whacked her weapon away and then used his leg to swipe her legs out from under her within all within a split second. Charlie kneeled down to Alyssa and hysterically apologized.[/i] "I'm so sorry! I'm so so sorry, Miss Alyssa!"
-
[i]Alyssa fell to the ground with an "oomph", looking indignant. Then, hearing Charlie's frantic apologies, she laughed, getting up.[/i] "It's fine," [i]Alyssa said, looking at Charlie happily.[/i] "Really."
-
"Are you sure? Maybe you should take a break from this training thing till you get a prosthetic?" [i]Charlie began to sound extremely protective.[/i] "You shouldn't be doing this in your condition. Maybe I should stay by your side for the rest of the day. If you need anything I can go get it for you." [i]Charlie grasps Alyssa's shoulder.[/i] "You didn't get a concussion from that fall, did you?"
-
[i]Alyssa burst into laughter at Charlie's overprotectiveness, pulling him into a tight embrace with her one arm.[/i] "I'm fine, honestly," [i]She murmured into Charlie's ear, having to jump up and hold on tight to his back in order to keep her chin over Charlie's shoulder, her toes only barely brushing the ground.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie holds her up she doesn't have to struggle to stay up.[/i] "I just don't want you to get hurt...or killed. I don't know what I would do without you. All alone in a world I know nothing about." [i]Charlie starts to laugh.[/i] "Wow, I'm a downer. May I ask one thing about [b]our[/b] past?"
-
"Anything," [i]Alyssa replied, grateful for Charlie holding her up as her lips brushed lightly across Charlie's cheekbone, the corners of her mouth turning up in a smile.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie stumbled over his words incapable of making complete sentences.[/i] "I-I just....Before....W-Where is that coin? Do you still have it on you?"
