"What do you mean Anumi?" [i] He asks with a warm smile.[/i]
English
-
[u][i]"Your just... So kind. I can't explain it but... You certainly are different."[/i][/u]
-
"Only to a certain few." [i] He says cryptically.[/i]
-
[i][u]"I see..."[/u][/i] [b]She returns to the center, sitting back down into the cool water. Damien has left the room somehow, only to return with a bottle of wine.[/b]
-
[i] Lance stands up.[/i] "I'll leave you two to be then."
-
[b]Damien waves him off.[/b] [i]"She doesn't drink... Not much."[/i] [b]He leans again into his corner and begins to chug the bottle.[/b] [i][u]"Well, you can still leave if you like. But it was nice having you around once more."[/u][/i]
-
[i] Lance raises his eyebrows at the statement, but brushes it off.[/i] "One second." [i] He vanishes from the room and returns with a glass of an orange liquid.[/i] "How's your time back been Damien?"
-
[i]"A bore..."[/i] [b]Anumi seems hurt by the prospect but doesn't say anything.[/b] [i]"This ship is dull. And there aren't enough books. And this room... It's credible... Just not real."[/i]
-
[i] Lance smiles at the mention of books.[/i] "I know a wonderful place for books if you need something to read."
-
[i]"I've read almost every book. Excluding the self-preserved worded ones. I just need something to read."[/i] [i][u]"Magazines."[/u][/i] [i]"I would like to think myself above those damn gossip pamphlets."[/i]
-
"I promise you haven't read the books I own." [i] A mischievous twinkle appears in his eye.[/i]
-
[i]"Self preserved. I like tales. I brought The Great Gatsby with me... But I've read four billion eight hundred twenty nine thousand times. Give or take a round up."[/i]
-
[i] Lance vanishes from the room and returns with 3 books, novels around 500 pages a piece. One is a plain black cover, the second a plain red cover, and the third a plain green cover. The author at the bottom reads William Velrose. Strange..Damien has never heard of the author. [/i] "A trilogy." [spoiler] FYI, made the name up, along with what the books are about. I just needed three books to showcase one of Lance's abilities lmao. [/spoiler]
-
[i]"Hmph."[/i] [b]Damien eyes the books with suspicion.[/b]
-
[i]Lance chuckles.[/i] "What, don't recognize the author?"
-
[i]"I don't mind new books. In fact, I enjoy finding something fresh. But [b]these[/b] look like fantasy novels. Trilogies mean long exposition."[/i]

-
[i]"Yourself, Mayhaps? Demotivatal."[/i]
-
[i] He chuckles.[/i] "No, not myself. Although, you don't think I'm that interesting Damien? And here I though I was charming."
-
[i]"Charm is deceitful. But impliable. What are the books...?"[/i]
-
"It's a story about a great swordsman who's yet to be born." [i] Lance keeps a straight face, but waits for Damien to realize what he just said.[/i]
-
[b]Damien doesn't seem to offer up any emotion. Instead, he closes his eyes once more.[/b] [i]"Time is of but the coldest of truths. I don't suppose you wish to explain..."[/i]
-
"Depends, what do you want me to explain?"
-
[i]"The damn story. I'm curious."[/i] [b]He finishes his bottle and tosses it at the door. It crashes in the hall followed by the Yelp of a guard.[/b]

"He's a man I met once. Claimed he was the best swordsman in the world. He hadn't met me yet, and he realized how wrong he was. But I trained him personally, and that's the story of his life. How he grew up, how he came from virtually nothing to one of the greatest fighters ever."
-
[i]"Hm... The greatest swordsman, eh? Legends... Hmm."[/i]
