[i]He sheathed his blade back on his back.[/i]
"Yes? What is it?"
English
-
"..Nothing. Would you like to continue? I-I mean, if you don't want to, it's fine." [i]Marcia awkwardly chuckled, mostly because she was in clear pain. The gash had gone..rather deep within her leg.[/i]
-
"No, it's fine. Hold up." [i]He took some of Marcia's life force from when Xavier took it from her, then started the slow but efficient healing process on her leg and his own arm.[/i] "You know, things took quite a turn. You went from hating me to... I dunno, actually liking me. It also shifted my original plan for you."
-
"I guess? The "hey beautiful" thing was actually...sorta cute. Like. In a funny way. I guess.." [i]Marcia stuttered slightly when she spoke, mostly because she found that to be funny but awkward at the same time. Unless it was a joke..was it a joke? Marcia didn't understand.[/i]
-
"Well, I do tend to say things like that from time to time. So... I kinda meant that on purpose, but at the same time, maybe something to laugh at..."
-
"...You meant that?" [i]Marcia only snickered, shaking her head as she kept leaning against the metallic weapon. Yes, this was the first time that she had been called "beautiful".[/i]
-
"You know, I could have called you 'pretty lady' for all I care." [i]He chuckled.[/i]
-
"I know, I know. And I could've called you handsome...handsome." [i]Immediately, Marcia snickered awkwardly before falling silent. She didn't know whether that could be considered a flirt or a joke, really.[/i]
-
[i]He just shrugged before looking down at her wound. He lifted his hand off it, the cut still apparent with blood and the slightly torn pants, but all in all completely healed. Xavier's shoulder though, is still bleeding a bit, due to the healing process not completing fully and running out of healing substance.[/i] "Ah, damn... I ran out..."
-
[i]Noticing that Xavier's wound had not entirely healed, but her wound had, Marcia sighed a little as she stared into the still cut flesh: the flesh that she had cut.[/i] "...I could try stitching it up. I've done surgery before. Not too good, but..yeah." [i]Marcia could be considered a surgeon for basic wounds. Anything around the vitals..nope.[/i]
-
"You sure?" [i]At this point, why not. Might as well let her fix him up a bit.[/i]
-
"...Y-Yeah. I could go find some..medical things. Oh, I should've learned about healing magic back at John West.." [i]Marcia rose up after a moment, proceeding to leave to find some medical supplies.[/i] [i]Ten minutes later..she came back with a First Aid kit, with stitches, bandages, and painkillers.[/i]
-
"Alright... You know the basics, right?" [i]He stopped clutching his shoulder, leaving Marcia to fix him up.[/i]
-
"Yeah...Yeah." [i]Several minutes later, and the wound had been patched up. It could've been done better, but..it was still alright.[/i]
-
"Thanks for the patch-up." [i]At least it'll still heal. He tapped the bandages on his shoulder.[/i]
-
"That's good, I think. I hope. I could've done better..ugh." [i]One thing that was actually good about Marcia's personality? She always, and I mean always, strived to do better than before in practically everything.[/i]
-
"It's okay. At least you did fix the injury." [i]Then a apparent question came to mind.[/i] "Wait... You don't have a place to live, don't you?"
-
"...I-Um.." [i]Marcia's face turned a dreadful pale as she only sighed, nodding in response. It wasn't like the others would let her live with them (Jacqui might...).[/i]
-
"Well, you could always ask your sisters. They can come up with something."
-
"I don't think that my...sisters...exactly...like me. As in...Y'know. Letting me..live with them. [i]Marcia sighed, as she had spoken about her worst fear: that she would be hated by her own sisters. She had angered them in the past, over being a self-centered, obnoxious bully.. [/i]
-
"Well, would you be fine living with me until I find a suitable place for you?" [i]Of course, he currently could not afford a place for her to live in. He would give her one of the spare rooms in his home, though.[/i]
-
"...You would do that? For me? Are you...are you sure? I don't exactly deserve it, especially after my..er...behavior." [i]Marcia didn't understand; why was Xavier being so kind? So willing to allow her into their home for temporary residence?[/i]
-
[i]Xavier had a lot of experience from dealing different people of different kinds. The annoying ones, the crazy ones, they shy ones and just generally every sort of personality. Guess that puts his three years worth of experience to good use. Or maybe he has density.[/i] "Yes, I'm serious."
-
Edited by Orn: 10/17/2016 11:20:30 AM[i]For a moment, Marcia only stared at Xavier, before she nodded and looked away.[/i] "T-Thanks. I don't deserve it. Not at all, but...thanks."
-
"Hey, it's the heart that counts." [i]He gestures for her to follow him, walking to his home.[/i]
-
"...I guess.." [i]Pocketing her thin, olive hands, Marcia proceeded to follow Xavier to his home. She didn't know how to repay him: money? Getting a job to pay for taxes and such? Pushing their relationship farther? She didn't know.[/i]
