"Oh gosh. Sounds worse than an orgre."
-
[i]"It is. Much, much worse." [/i]
-
"So... why aren't you partying?"
-
[i]"I would rather not. This is a day of remembering." [/i] "And boredom apparently."
-
"I can see how it is both. But I believe we must honor those we've lost."
-
"Perhaps. You are correct." [i]"Perhaps she is." [/i]
-
"I will speculate on that later."
-
"Good." [i]"Nathaniel, you may leave if you wish. But I will remain here." [/i] "Cool." [b]Nathaniel got to his feet, and stretched [/b]
-
"Actually, I want to talk to Nathaniel for a moment," Splash said.
-
"Oh? Well then walk with me." [b]He walked past her, and Kross simply stood there [/b] [i]"Enjoy..." [/i]
-
She made sure she didn't fall behind as she walked with him. She felt a little nervous, and at this point she'd forgot what she was going to do. Or say.
-
"You alright." [b]He turned his head back to look at her [/b]
-
When she realized she caught his attention she felt like she was melting like butter.
-
[b]He stopped, waving his hand in front of her face [/b] "Heh, again?"
-
She slowly sunk to her knees. She [i]was[/i] melting like butter, seemingly. She collapsed completely, lying on the ground.
-
[b]Nathaniel knelt down, placing a hand on her neck and checking her pulse [/b]
-
She had a pulse. Just passed out from pure loss of nerve.
-
[b]Nathaniel got to his feet, and laughed [/b] "Oh dear." [b]He picked her up bridal style and carried her over to one of the benches where he set her down once more [/b]
-
She lie there, on the bench, dreaming.
-
[b]He turned and began walking away, turning back to glance at her one last time [/b]
-
She snapped awake for one second, and caught his gaze.
-
[b]He smiled and waved at her before continuing on [/b]
