I grin a little as I catch my bow with ease. "She is an ally. I met her last night, you know, when you were supposed to have been back?" I sigh slightly remembering the worry I had. He doesn't know it, but I care for him. Not in a 'good friends' way, but almost in a 'love' way. It's hard for me to deal with it, because I'm pretty sure he's straighter than a flag pole. Besides, even if he wasn't, we grew up together, we're more like brothers than anything. It's weird that I even feel this way, I've never found a guy attractive before, only women. It was all just too confusing to think about.
I try to change topics in my mind as I look over to Noir. "I thought you hated animals, with the obvious exception of Hope," I grin a little, I knew he despised her. I couldn't see why, though. She's majestic and loyal. As I say this, Hope gives a small caw of agreement. And I dare say that I could see a smile on her beak. I grin a bit wider.
Everything seemed so... peaceful. Having Hope seem relatively happy given that her wing is still broken. I'm back with Lucas. The forest was alive with all sorts of lovely animals. The scenery was beautiful. Everything was just so perfect, and for a moment everything seemed to stand still, as if the entire world was waiting just for us.
But then I realized, it wasn't. Lucas was still oblivious to the task at hand.
