The girl watched the exchange with many questions popping into her head but was unable to ask them. She was too afraid of the answers. During it she felt a slight nudge against her shoulder but turned around to see nothing... hmm.. thats strange. i know i felt something... She turned back in time for alton and the lady to turn their attention back at her.
"Oh im fine lady" she smiled widely ignoring the first part. She would not think of her training alton. he was not her pet or animal. He was a being and she just refused to treat him that way. "hey alton. are we leaving now? or..." She let her voice trail off for him to finish her sentence |
"Tsk.. if I had wanted to kill you I would have. Instead of wasting my breath." He was telling the truth, it wasn't like anyone here could stop him from doing so. Later on Asami might have the power to do so but that was about it. He was still a trained solider after all, mage or not close quarters hardly meant he was at a disadvantage.
"Hrm? whenever your ready. If that time is now then by all means we'll leave." He was rather surprised she didn't try to pry into what the two were talking about and why he warned the other to keep her mouth shut about the past. |
The girl gave a shudder. "This place just creeps me out.... so lets leave soon okay?" She looked behind her once more and she heard a faint snicker and she had a feeling only she could hear it.. She turned her face back to alton. "Yeah.. as soon as we can okay?"
|
Something was wrong and he knew it, she was acting.. strange to say the least. Well more so then before anyway. "We'll leave now then." He shrugged a little before catching the glare from Lily. Though he never said a word about it, no point in starting something again when it was a waste of time over all. Aside from that it was all too tempting to show her what he could do if he had a mind to do so.. just a taste of it at least. Then again that wasn't his style, she'd probably get her shortcomings sooner or later.
After making sure Asami had everything she needed they left the house behind, and the small town it was located in as well. Though the said town was more of just a gathering of a few houses, hardly the first place someone would search for the next heir at. Once they were clear of the house he finally spoke up again. "Whats wrong? Don't go saying nothing either, your acting like something has you spooked and it wasn't just that house." Normally he could tell if they were being followed.. but if the being following them had no real ill intent towards Asami then it made things a little more complicated. |
Ever since they left that house, Asami kept getting that feeling like someone was poking her and a few times she swore she felt a cat drag its body over her feet rubbing its body on her legs. She was extremely scared and she tried to hide it from alton but she failed. "Oh.. umm.. well.. you are going to think im crazy but i keep hearing a voice and feeling something touch me... is that.. common when entering fae?" She looked very worried. in fact she was extremely worried.
|
He seemed to stop walking as he looked at her. "I wouldn't call it normal no.." Had he not been paying attention or something? There was no possible way for something that intended Asami hard to be near them. He was trained for that and this included detection magics. but he couldn't tell that anything was near them. Maybe the girl was just tired or something and she wasn't really hearing anything. "I won't say I think your crazy, but it's not normal either... there are a number of beings here that can become invisible though." This bothered him a little, it was easy to tell she was on edge, but he couldn't detect anything near them. Maybe he had slipped up in all of the time he had spent in the human realm.
|
She sighed a bit. "maybe im imagining it or something.. i dont know.. can we stop a moment to rest and maybe train a little bit?" She looked very on edge. "This just really scares me.."
Being invisible was probably the funnest thing she could do. She watched the girl freak out slightly whenever she poked her. Most of the time she followed them as a cait sith but would transform just to poke the girl. She intended to follow them slightly but she couldnt help but to giggle at the girl. This was too much fun. She wanted to turn her attention to the drow but him thinking the other girl was crazy worked out fine. It made this game more fun. She snickered before turning baack into the cait sith. She kept up a good pace and she rarely got tired. there were lots of perks of being a cait sith. |
He nodded a little. "We can rest.. maybe your just tired from everything?" It was a idea, though he somehow doubted it. She seemed to be really freaked about whatever was following them. He just hoped it wasn't anything too important, probably some creature playing a prank on the poor girl. Seeing as she brought up training as well he sighed a little. "To be honest I have no idea where to start with training. It's not like I looked into how to train someone else." Plus the fae powers were different and controled differently altogether form what his were. sure there was some basic knowledge in there maybe that would get things started at the least...
|
She nodded "we need to find a spot to set up a small camp.. well I kinda figured you didn't know much about training fae... you are a different race..." she looked around for the invisible tormentor before looking back at Alton.
The cait sith sat patiently on a tall rock watching the two. She started to groom herself because she was a tad dirty from following them. Hmm... as fun as it is to torment the girl maybe I could help her out. She needs a teacher and that male clearly doesn't know much. being a cait sith she knew most if not all fae magic. I could teach her.... for a price... she mused as she cleaned herself. Once she finished she got up and yawned and started to follow the two once more. Sometimes being a cat was too much fun |
He never said a word other then nodding to her comment about a camp. He cursed being bound to her at times. If he had free roam or even half of a life then he'd probably be further along in his own studies or have enough experience to be able to train fae. But as it stood being stuck in the human realm there was no magic tomes there at all... To say he could try to teach her and doing well at it were two different things. She was the one that said she wanted him as a teacher even though he protested it, and now she wanted to go and make a comment like that. Not that he'd voice that he was slightly annoyed at this fact, but he could think it all the same.
|
She looked over at him "where would be a good spot Alton? I'm not really an outdoors type... so I'm no good..."she looked around for a spot that might be good but she didn't know what a good spot would be. She felt something fuzzy swat her leg. Man what is going on....
The cat was a little annoyed by the girls stupidity so she gave her a good smack with her tail just for that. There was a good spot not 10 meters from where they stood |
He sighed a little, he had forgotten about that part. "They had to put you with a family that didn't go camping... " It was almost sad in truth. Anyone should have common sense on where a good resting spot is. "It's not like we're staying here for the night.. so just pick a spot." He refused to just tell her a answer, she needed to learn this type of thing or else she'd never survive. If he knew the other creature was annoyed as well he would have completely understood why.
|
"Ummm..." the tail thing hit her again kinda pushing her in the direction. Well whatever this is I guess it wants to help. She pointed in the direction "there? Would that be good?" She heard a low purr.. well I guess it approves
This girl will need more than a teacher. Shes so dense. The cait sith nudged her gently to the spot hoping she got a clue. When she answered correctly she purred. Maybe she wont be too hard to teach |
He was about to give her a smart answer to her question when he heard a slight noise. Was that a purr? He started to question it but shrugged it off having a decent idea of what had been following the girl around now and why he never sensed it near either. Though for now he kept his thoughts to himself. No point in tipping the creature off that he knew about it. "See was that so hard?" He shrugged a little, he wanted to laugh at this really. This whole time it had been just a rather harmless creature following her around and it had been causing her to freak out. She needed to really learn how to tell the difference.
|
She giggled nervously "yeah I guess not.. so umm... let's make camp then??" She was watching her feet for.any movements that would show what was tormenting her but she got not sign."well maybe if we rest ill be better and not so jumpy"
The cat was already waiting at the spot for them to make camp. She would make herself noticeable when they would be ready for training. |
He nodded a little at her idea of resting might help. "Well it certainly can't make things worse... " Normally he kept his thoughts to himself but she was about as dense as they came to the outdoors that was certain. Let alone what did she expect to set up camp with? He doubted she had packed a tent .. or probably anything that useful. Fire wasn't the issue even, he could cover that. Though seeing as they were kind of out in the open it did make finding materials for said 'camp' as she put it a little bit of a challenge. She should have just stayed in the other realm, why couldn't they have sent help over to get rid of the walkers that were onto her.
|
She felt a tug on her leg telling her to stop. I guess this is the spot then... she sat down and waited for Alton to do so as well but suddenly a girl appeared out of nowhere. Her nose was not an inch away from her face "WHAAAAA" Asami fell backwards which caused the purple haired girl to start giggling.
"Omg... your face! So priceless!" she doubled over in laughter "who...who are you;?? Alton.." the girl shot a worried glance over to him hoping he knew what was going on. |
He hardly seemed to react at all to the girls appearance. Though it was amusing to say the least that Asami had freaked out. "That would be a cat sith... going off of the actions and noises from earlier.. " He shrugged a little before walking past both of them leaving the girl on the ground. She was perfectly fine so it wasn't like he had to worry at the moment. Leaning against a tree that was close by he crossed his arms and looked between the two. "Over all harmless creatures, known to play pranks on travelers.. other then that they are rather gifted in fae magic." He left out the part they were never seen in a fight so the magic part was over all just to get away from danger.
|
"Oh..." the girl started blushing furiously."well.. umm what's your name?" She was totally embarrassed now.. why was she like this..
"Oh my name is lisianthus but you can call me sia for short... uh..oh.." for a second the girl went invisible and then in the spot she was standing a cat appeared."well this is my true form" she started licking her paws "Wait...so you're a cat..?" That would explain a lot.."Alton. why didnt you tell me" she whined a little |
He shrugged slightly. "I figured you heard the noise earlier and could put two and two together. Though I suppose not..." She needed to learn how to open her ears a little at the least. "Besides do I have to tell you everything when you have two perfectly good eyes?" He did have a point after all, she could see what the creatures true form is or what her other form was. Though he was curious as to why this Sia as she called herself was following Asami. He'd leave that question alone for the time being.
|
"But I know nothing of this world..." the girl sighed
"That's where I come in! For a price I shall be your guide and teacher" the cat stalked around her."but don't get me wrong. My price will be high if you accept this generous offer." "But...alton.. he could reach me." The cat yawned at that."he knows nothing of the magic I could teach you. I could show you how to become invisible" the cat disappeared at the word the reappeared closer."I could teach you to change your appearance on whim." In a blink the cat was another color "I could show you many things. You have such powerful glamour in you child. There is so many possibilities. But only if you accept my offer." The girl blinked a few times a little startled at this display..."..what is your price cat?" "Ahh... a require a favor. One to be called upon on my choosing. Remember princess we fae honor our promises." The cats eyes narrowed "it is in our blood." The girl gulped unable to figure out what to do.. |
He never voiced a word listening to the conversation. He was getting about tired of everyone who they crossed paths with useless. They'd do well to remember that when ever the princess ended up in trouble and he had to save her. Though that was something he'd never opening voice his thoughts about. By now he was pretty well use to being looked down upon by any type of fae or fae creature. Even if Asami asked what his thoughts were on if she should take the offer or not at such a cost he wouldn't have answered her.
No instead he remained where he was as silent as ever, almost acting like he was ignoring the two talking. He was far from really doing that, even though they were not known to be harmful creatures he wasn't about to just let this 'cat' walk off with the princess either. He did have half a mind to inform the damned little beast that he could teach her simple tricks like invisibility... but for now he bit his tongue on the matter, settling that he might be stuck with dealing with this little fur-ball for a long while. |
"Ummm..." she shot a look to Alton "I accept your offer then sia. One favor." That wasn't too much right? Plus what would this cat do with a favor.
The cat/girl gave her a wide smile making her regret accepting."alright then.. we will begin training tomorrow. For now have fun with your boy toy. I'll be about" and with that the cat disappeared leaving Asami alone with Alton |
He figured she'd accept the offer, the creature had a point. Asami was better off learning from someone who had similar powers... Aside from that he wasn't going to complain that he got out of training her, seeing as he was protesting it in the first place. Though before Sia left she had to make a comment didn't she... Though he still remained quiet about any of his thoughts. He had thought about what he had said the day before last and he came to the conclusion that he needed to keep his mouth shut more often. Aside from that he had a feeling that this little 'cat' was going to cover the basics and then some with Asami, this probably included telling the girl what words were considered command words that he had no choice at all aside to follow them.
|
The girl sat thinking about everything that had happened so far. She couldn't believe how her life was flipped upside down. After thinking for a bit she noticed Alton wasn't talking or even near her. She felt like she did something wrong.."hey Alton..." she called out to him weakly hoping that he wasn't angry with her. She looked at the sky and noticed the sun was past its peak nearing the earth. It was probably around 2 in the afternoon in earth terms. maybe they should continue walking and set up camp for the night.
|
It was easy to tell from her voice alone that something was on her mind, though she had a right to have quite a few things on her mind at the moment. That was a strange encounter at best, let alone everything here was different compared to the other realm. Nothing was simple... "Something wrong?" He questioned her after she spoke, he figured she'd say nothing. Not like whatever her woes were he could fix them anyway. Though his voice he spoke in could at least settle her worry if he was mad at her or not. He had no reason to be at her. Though he had to admit he did miss the life he had before, even if it was a forced one to live in the human realm at the least she seemed happy there. Plus he was left alone, no one there reminded him of what he was or looked down on him because he was breathing the same air, not like here.
|
She looked downwards when he spoke and started doodling figures in the sand with her fingers "umm...could you.. sit with me?" She was feeling little overwhelmed "I just figure... you're my only friend here ya know?" She messed the doodle up until you couldn't tell something was ever there and closed her eyes hoping he would
|
He never said a word as he shook his head a little before walking over to where she was. Doing as she had asked he sat next to her before speaking again. "You know I'm sure you have friends. There are quite a few people in this realm that care deeply for you, even if you haven;t met them yet." He had a point, she was the future ruler. Of course people here would want her happy or try to befriend her. Though even with that some were close to her parents so he was certain they would be close to her as well. Even if she didn't remember any one from back then. Really it was rather sad in truth, she didn't remember her childhood when she was here even though she was old enough to remember. Though through being in the other realm for so long he had forgotten all of that from back then.
|
She leaned into him "they are all just strangers to me.. you are someone I know and youve been here always...so I consider you my only friend.." she sighed a little "in a bit we should probably continue on.... and set up real camp later..." she leaned harder "I just don't know what to do really...sorry I'm stupid at times... I'm trying"
|
He would say this wasn't a normal action for her but she had done something similar to this before... so he'd consider that she just liked company when she was worried or thinking about things. "You could get to know others, I doubt it'll be that hard." She really did worry too much, she wasn't as along as she thought she was or at least he didn't see it that way. "Besides.. you just found out not even two days ago I had been following you for most of your life, how does that count as being a friend?" Granted he probably knew more about her then most but still, it was his job he didn't see how she could consider that as being a friend. Besides if she said that aloud she'd be frowned upon by her kind, your guard was nothing more then just that.
As she spoke again he sighed a little before shaking his head at her thought aloud. "Your fine, this is a lot to take in. Forcing yourself will just waste energy." She needed to let everything settle over time, instead of fretting over it all now. Though over all he figured everything would work out in the end. She'd get use to things and probably calm down. Though he probably deserved a good slap for not trying to better comfort her. Putting a arm around her or anything would probably do her wonders, though that would require some bit of emotion ... where almost none seemed to be. |
She sighed again nuzzling against him almost "well my feelings for you have hanged since then... you're not the stalker I once thought you were.. I can feel it in my heart... you care about what happens to me... I know its just the protector thing you have to.do but part of me feels like you like it and you want to do it.... but I might be crazy thinking that."
|
Ok that was new from her, he had to admit he wanted to move away from her a little just to get her to stop. Though for the time being he didn't, she seemed to be doing better or at least calming down for the moment. "Well thats good to know.." He had forgotten she had called him a stalker in the first place. Though he guessed that was a improvement over her thoughts from before. "Well I do have to care for starters, as you know. Tough I was rather forced to grow up around you, so yes I do care probably a bit more then I should." Well that probably came out wrong if she looked into that a bit. Hopefully she wouldn't, seeing as he didn't mean it in the bad way.
|
"Oh... so you're forced to care about me..." she pushed away and started to gathee hee things. "Well lets start heading out again." Her voice was different, more sharp and clipped and she wouldn't look at him. "Lets just go." She started walking away. Not really caring at this moment if he would follow or not. They needed to move some more before it got dark.
|
He sighed a little when she seemed to move and get her things together. When she started walking he followed her before speaking. "difficult... that is not what I meant." Of course he had to care about her, but he had also grown up around her when she was younger. Seeing as she didn't stop even after he said that wasn't what he meant he never spoke a word further on it. At this point he wanted things to just go back to how they were a few days prior. At least then she didn't have to worry about any of this and everything was damn simple. Though maybe it was better this way, in the event something did happen to him she wouldn't miss him probably. Yeah that was better then whatever she was thinking before about friends and all of that.
|
She barely looled at him during the hours they traveled. He obviously didn't care because he never tried to fix it. Whatever why did he even matter? She blushed letting her mind wander to forbidden places. After a moment or two she finally snapped out of it but it was to late she had tripped over a log that was in the trail. "Whaaaaaa..." she crashed face first into the ground. "Owwww....."
|
He had tried to warn her about the log, but it was too late and she seemed to be ignoring his words of warning anyway. So he gave up mere moments from her face planting the ground. His shoulders sank a little as he walked over to her before offering her a hand to help her back up. "I tried to warn you, though whatever thoughts you had must have been entertaining." He never mentioned he noticed that she had blushed a little but it wasn't needed seeing as her face was red from the fall as it was. She didn't seem to say anything after a few moments and never bothered to get up either. "Are you ok?" Maybe she had done more damage then she wanted to admit, seeing as after their last speaking she seemed to ignore him and keep whatever thoughts to herself. Though knowing his luck she could have hurt her ankle and couldn't walk further...
|
She rolled over onto her back and gazed up at the darkened sky. She bit her lip slightly as her gazed moves to altons. "Come down here." She wanted nothing more than for her fantasies to come true at this moment.
|
He would have questioned her asking him to come down to her level but knowing her it was nothing too serious. Kneeling down to her he seemed to still have the question on his mind of what she even wanted, though he never asked it. "Thats not answering me if you can walk or not.." She was probably just being stubborn now, or thats what he first thought. Though he would be wrong if he knew her true thoughts.
|
She turned her head to look at him. She sat up slowly and pulled herself over to him. "Kiss me." Her breath was heavy as she leaned forward pressing her lips to his. Her hands travled down his back grabbing at his shirt.
|
At first he thought she was going to try and just use him as support to get up though her words quickly killed that thought. He couldn't even get the mere moment he wanted to question such a thing as she pressed her lips against his. His ears dropped almost instantly feeling every move she did as her hands moved to his back. To admit that he mind was in a panic was a understatement. He was trained to protect her, follow whatever order given. No one mentioned if she gave such a off the wall request! After he managed to get his lips free his ears were still back and down, it was probably odd to see him worried or concerned about anything but he was at the present moment. "Whats gotten into you?! Your the next ruler, do you know what trouble I can get into here? If you want to have me killed there's easier ways to go about it I assure you." Did he tick her off that bad earlier? What was even going on here?
