She sighed and sat back against the bar, watching him puff generously at his cigarette and ponder her words. Akira longed to know what he was thinking of, but it seemed like she never would find out as he remained silent.
"Now we're going to Moi Delim. You've heard of it right? A town that isn't actually kept up with the times so to speak. It's pretty dirty and the people there will stare you down to your grave, but it's probably the most genuine place on this massive rock we call earth. I don't know. The wine's good at least."
"Oh." The raven haired girl hummed before pausing for a while. "I have passed the place a few times on my travels but never really visited. I wish I had something to cover up with..." Akira tutted looking down at her breasts with a frown. Of course she dressed in a provocative manner to attract some amount attention but what she most certainly was not asking for was harassment. "I'm pretty sure a gun in their mouths gets the message across in a better manner though." Her lips began curling into a venous smile before quickly falling back to something flat. "Is this place a Neco town or?..." If that was the case, she would be more worried about her life than her body. She would also have to resist the temptation of slaughtering every being in sight; she would more than likely fail.
"You know, if you keep treating me so nicely I might start thinking of you as my wife on accident."
"W...what? June!" She stammered clumsily. The womanβs cheeks almost instantly began flushing a dark red. As much as Akira could have easily battered back a confident witty comment to sexual flirtation, this kind of thing made her weak at the knees. It took her a few seconds to pull herself together before she began asking questions. "Why do you say that? Was she and I somewhat alike?"
"I'll be right back,"
"Let's go to a better location. If you stay around farm animals and their.... leavings for too long in a boxed area, it'll strike you with fever."
Akira nodded before waiting patiently, with her right hand brushing against her handgun while he was absent. She followed him once he returned and seemed pretty pleased with the new cabin in comparison to the filled with pigs. The sapien sat alongside him, drumming her fingertips on the window ledge rhythmically, finally feeling peaceful.
"So why do you dote on me? If you don't mind me asking. I'm not really that special of a person to be given the gift of affection from a young woman such as yourself. You're also not naive. You must know how I live my life by now. Still you show me such kindness. Why is that?"
Akira smirked before letting out a soft laugh, leaning her head on the side of the chair and meeting with his eyes. "You are very skilled and prove a worthy acquaintance in battle, you spill your stories as though you have known me forever, you provide me with an adventure that is finally making me feel alive again, not to mention the free drinks and the fact that you are devilishly gorgeous too..." She purred, finishing with a wink rather than a full stop. Akira then turned away from him and continued to have her pupils scan the outside world; the trees, the cities, the ruins.
"I hope you realize after I lost my home I was pitifully lonely walking about the place on my own. Sure, I met decent people but it was only ever a short term thing, whether it be trade, sex, or help, they all moved on or died very quickly. Of course 3/4 of them were Sapiens like me so it was not all that surprising that many lost their lives. Me and you are likely to be a short term thing, but I hope it does not have to be." She explained with a heavy sigh, trying to pick up the memories of these people in her brain.
"It's just that, it feels like I'm dreaming."
"I..I don't really get what you mean by that June. Are you sure it is not something in the bullet?"
