Knock. Knock. Knock. The peace was gone just like that, not that it was surprising since the monts don’t seem to last.
"Seems I have yet another visitor." I mumble under my breath.
I move away from Ghost and Lilly to open up the door, expecting to see Alarion or Sylas. It makes sense for either of them to be the ones visiting .
Upon opening the door I’m greeted by a girl with short white hair that just barely reaches her neck with dark blue streaks in her hair, she also seems to be wearing this white elegant attire.
A nice white coat, so sort of blue undershirt with a white shirt as well. I’m not used to seeing this kind of attire.
Her blue eyes were just staring right at , she didn’t seem to have much to say at first.
"Um... Can I help you?" I ask while feeling the sudden flush in my cheeks.
Sothing about her was causing to blush, I could feel it clear as day but maybe it’s the way she’s just staring at .
"You’re Rokuro. I wanted to et you I guess." She responds bluntly while still staring at .
"Of course. I don’t believe we t." I say with a bit of confusion in my voice.
"We haven’t. My na is Aria Variseth." She introduces herself.
She walks past into the room after that and takes a seat on the bed. I can see the look of confusion on Ghost and Lilly’s faces but I don’t know what’s going on either.
At least it’s a cute girl but I can’t figure out what she wants. Sothing about her is completely different from the other Variseth family mbers.
Alarion is an interesting guy and Sylas seems to care about true strength instead of people who hold back.
But Aria doesn’t seem to be anything like them so far but then again this is the first ti we’ve t. She’s also acting relatively comfortable with us but this is their ho so maybe it isn’t so weird.
"Soone strong like you shouldn’t be here. It is a waste of ti when you can be doing important stuff elsewhere." Aria speaks up while crossing her legs. The sa stare just piercing right through .
I walk past Ghost and Lilly to take a seat next to Aria on the bed. "I’d like to avoid a war so I ca to talk to those who can help with preventing it." I respond with a calm tone.
"Yeah. The rumors of war are spreading like wildfire below the city." Ghost chis in while beginning to cross her arms.
"War? I was not aware of such a stupid thing. My brothers keep out of the loop because I’m the youngest." Aria says with a bit of confusion in her voice.
So being the youngest of her siblings has left her with less information than they have. I can’t say that it is surprising based on how the city runs up here.
Families being in charge instead of the guild up here makes it a bit different from how the cities below operate. I wouldn’t really know much if I was in her shoes so what is there to gain here?
She can still be helpful. You don’t seem to notice her aura, it’s just as strong as Sylas’s so she is definitely worth talking to.
It would probably be wise if I started learning how to see these aura’s a bit better so I can get a gauge on people. I didn’t notice a damn thing about her when the door opened up.
Bringing her into the group wouldn’t be a bad idea. Obviously you’d have to learn about her a bit more before that but she already seems interested in you.
Probably my power, not anything else besides that. She wouldn’t leave them behind to join us on our journey.
Poke. Poke. I can feel sothing poking my cheek, as I turn my head it becos obvious that it was just Aria.
"You get lost in your thoughts too. That we have in common. Alarion will probably want you to stay here for awhile." She says with her head slightly tilted as she leans on her other hand looking at .
"I’ve always done it but it doesn’t seem to be that bad in life or death situations, not that I’m aware of at least." I reply while looking down towards my hands.
It has beco a lot more obvious lately that I’ve been locked away in my own head. I don’t really have an answer for why it happens so much lately, but it hasn’t hurt anyone.
"I don’t mind you staying, personally speaking." Aria says as her cheeks begin to blush slightly.
"Maybe it could be beneficial. If there’s anything you can share with that is." I respond while looking up at her with a warm smile.
My kindness towards everyone lately has been baffling to since I was always treated like garbage. So people won’t deserve it and obviously there are so that won’t get that kindness either way.
That Lazarus guy definitely didn’t get any kindness from and neither did the shadow guy.
I’m sure a day will co where my kindness is no longer there. That rage, that hatred... It still dwells deep within . It fuels a lot of my power during the bigger fights but that isn’t always great to utilize.
"I’ll happily show you around the manor. There might even be so information I can find out for you." Aria says with a little bit of excitent.
That shift in her tone is a bit odd but it doesn’t necessarily an that it’s bad. If she can find out so information about the war rumors sohow, it would be helpful.
"I’d appreciate that a lot." I reply with an appreciative tone in my voice.
"Of course another one is going to challenge us." Lilly mutters softly.
