Snippet #2226942

The girl was obviously deep in thought before Otae had confronted her. Once she took notice of him, he had already repositioned himself, probably meaning she missed his bow. Minor setback in showing off his gentleman qualities. Otae was surprised with the complete and utter look of disgust she gave him, and almost wondered if he should just let this one go as well. Then the girl spontaneously reverted back to a cute girl almost instantly. She even began giggling.
'That was a little strange...' Otae thought.
"Me. I'm Tamura. If you are lucky you might learn my given name." The girl said as she pointed to herself. The mature, adult-like vibe she gave of earlier had completely deminished. Now she was acting like a cute, flirtatious highschool girl.
'What do you mean? She seems fairly normal to me, Otae. Although her last name does trouble me a little...' Enenra replied, even though Otae having not really been listening, didn't know why her last name worried Enenra.

Otae quickly looked back to see if the seductive woman from earlier was behind him. 'Huh. Guess she wasn't following me afterall. I could have sworn...' Otae thought.
He then quickly turned back to Tamura and smiled. "Well, Tamura-chan. I do hope that I get the luxury of learning your first name. I'm sure that it is a beautiful one at that." Otae responded, suavely. Just before Otae was about to ask Tamura if she wanted to go on a date with him, he was interupted by Enenra.
'Otae... Something doesn't feel right all of a sudden...'
'Oh please. Are you sure you're not just getting jealous?' Otae replied, not taking Enenra seriously.

All of a sudden an immense hostile energy surged through Otae's body. "W-what the hell? Enenra. Are you doing this?" Otae asked outloud in a panick.
'Fool! Don't say my name out loud! Anyway, we have to run now. A powerful tedlar has sensed us and isn't bothering to hide their power... I think it may be a tedlar lord.' Enenra replied. 'Sorry... S-seriously?! Shit!' Otae exclaimed in his head before grabbing Tamura's hand and rushing foward at top speed. He didn't care where he was going, as long as he was getting away from whatever was chasing him. 'Why are you taking her with us?! You're only endangering this girl's life by doing that!'
Enenra exclaimed. Otae looked back at her with his eyes while he was still running. He hadn't even noticed that he had snagged her. 'Damn it. Well its too late now...'
"S-sorry. But I need you to come with me real quick. Theres a dangerous person after me at the moment." Otae explained to her, as his breath began to grow heavy.

After a little while longer Otae stopped to catch his breath. 'Just give me a few seconds Enenra. I just need to rest a little.' Otae said.
'Its ok Otae. I think that the hostile figure is gone for now. We should be safe for the moment. But... What is a tedlar lord doing here? Its been forever since I've last met the other tedlar lords. Has their power really grown that much since then? Enenra replied, adding in his own thoughts.
'Wait. So you're telling me that the tedlar lords have gotten stronger than when you last saw them? When was that exactly?' Otae asked.
'Around... 280 years ago. We ussually keep to ourselves for the most part. It is on rare occasions that we ever meet up.' Enenra replied.
Otae stopped catching his breath and turned to see how Tamura was doing. He didn't exactly recall her gasping for air like he did, but then again he wasn't paying attention to her at the time either. "Um... Everything is ok now. We're safe." Otae told her.
'What do you mean we? What motive did you have to bring this girl along anyway? Enenra asked. Otae decided to ignore that question.
"Again. Sorry about all of that. I guess there isn't much hope on you going on a date with me now, huh?" Otae asked while trying to play the embarrassed, insecure, shy boy act while scratching his cheek nervously.
