The time spent dealing with the days events meant that the sun had already begun to set 의해 the time Fi and 단도, 더크 left the infirmary and began to make their way towards their respective homes, which coincidentally happened to be in the same direction. As they walked in silence, 단도, 더크 스톨, 훔친 occasional glances at the girl keeping stride with him. Someone so young and yet she completely outclassed every medical professional Terrador had to offer. He had always assumed that all Pendallan was known for was not having any one specific thing that they were known for, but from what his former manager had said, the poison inflicted 의해 the Gattarian assassin was nothing short of childs play for this 랜덤 tourist just passing through and that in turn opened up the 질문 of why someone like her bothered to go out of her way to help him in the first place.
Neither one of them conversed with one another until they finally reached the splitting point where they would have to separate. 단도, 더크 was heading left, towards the ritzier end of Terrador where he and the Luzon both resided and Fi was to head right, towards the 더 많이 middle-class homes. 단도, 더크 cleared his throat to get her attention and extended his hand. “Thank you, Madam. I would be dead if not for you. If there is anything else I-”
“Can I crash with you?”
The sudden 질문 had 단도, 더크 retract his hand. He hadn’t even gotten the offer out and she was already cashing in the favor…what a strange girl. “Pardon?”
Fi put her arms behind her head and broke into her ranting explanation. “See, the thing is that Jaden and Zane are currently in a big spat right now so I can imagine that 의해 now one of them has spitefully said something harsh to the other which is going to push the fight even further. 런던 and Erik can’t go two full nights without getting so emotional and semi-romantic with each other that it is really starting to get hard to sleep and I’m pretty sure that Xavier has night terrors. If I return there tonight, it’ll just be one big tiresome event after another and it’ll be super loud and I might get dragged into it so it might be best to give them a 일 to cool off then make an entrance tomorrow before we leave”
단도, 더크 blinked. Strange might not quite cover it. “I…see. Well then, if that is all 당신 require, then of course. My 집 is this way,” he haltingly said with a gesture in the direction of ritz.
“Sick, dood. Don’t worry, I won’t be stealing any t-shirts from you. I sleep in the nude.”
Something about the term “middle class” did not quite convey the complete scope of exactly how wide the difference was between Jadens 집 and the opulent nigh-palaces that were currently lining the way towards Dirks residence. It was like a snowstorm of wealth, with each extravagant snowflake of a 집 completely unique from the ones beside it. Some had wide lawns, some had 더 많이 house than the land knew what to do with, multiple were filled with various training equipment 또는 shed-like rooms likely used for training. This was because Terrador exemplified the concept that ferocity and brute force was highly rewarded. Everyone here was a 인기 fighter of Upper Class 또는 higher. This was where the people who gave themselves fully to the game resided. Anyone with a large fanbase easily made enough to live in any one of these “homes”, that is of course, except The White Knight.
Dirks own 집 was at the end of the lane, sitting atop a small 언덕, 힐 with a winding path leading up to it. It truly looked as if it were taken directly out of an over the 상단, 맨 위로 flic about a mad scientist. It looked so conspicuous compared even to the rest of the neighborhood that Fi was sure that 단도, 더크 had paid to have the 언덕, 힐 installed. Upon entry, it was just as you’d expect, with staircases and corridors that seemed to take up most of the square footage.
단도, 더크 placed his spear against the 벽 and made a motion towards Fi. “Follow me and I’ll show 당신 to your room for the night. I’ll also grab some suitable clothes. That is, if my former manager hasn’t cleared her stuff out ye- ”
“Oh?” Fi interjected. “You and she lived together?” She asked before glancing up as she clearly began to imagine something that seemed to be causing her to salivate.
“It was the smart decision,” 단도, 더크 reported. “…let’s go.”
An 시간 and a half and one long hot 샤워 later, Fi emerged to find 단도, 더크 quietly 읽기 some kind of novel. True to her words from earlier, Fi was garbed in nothing but the towel she used to dry off, her red hair was still soaked and had been darkened 의해 the water to now resemble silky strands of blood gently dripping onto the floor as she made her way barefoot over to Dirk. As she positioned herself behind him and wrapped her arms around him, she caught a glance at the 제목 of the book that was written atop each page.
“The Viscount of the Bold Dream” she read quietly out loud, eliciting a small startled reaction from 단도, 더크 has he hurriedly shut the book which was a bad idea as it revealed the cover which had a very artistic portrait of a busty dark haired woman in a low cut dress being held tenderly 의해 a ridiculously muscular man with cheek 본즈 so high they were in orbit holding a lightly bloody dagger to her heart. The entire thing screamed “cheesy romance novel” which Fi found incredibly entertaining. “Ooh. Any hot sex yet?”
“I didn’t hear 당신 leave the shower.”
“Ya, your floorboards probably absorbed a bunch of steam. 당신 get phenomenal water pressure here. So anyway, back to this book…”
“I think 당신 should clothe yourself first,” 단도, 더크 responded, attempting to keep his eyes diverted from the damp towel around her that seemed to be losing 더 많이 of its grip with each passing second.
“Aw, what’s wrong? I did tell 당신 that I like to sleep topless,” Fi retorted mirthfully as she removed herself from 단도, 더크 and proceeded to 옮기기 around until she was completely in view to which 단도, 더크 did his best to ignore her. She almost looked like a lover as she gently crossed her arms behind her back and flittered around the room, examining various things. At one point, she bent down to pick up another of Dirks guilty pleasure books, seemingly to peruse it and 의해 doing so, the towel hitched up until what was underneath was less than an inch from being uncovered. 단도, 더크 found it hard to tear his eyes away and gave a sharp exhale as he reread the same line for the 18th time in a row. It was going to be a long night.
