Eruda

Standing in an empty house, index to the chin looking out into the living room of their home. A bookshelf that was bought a day ago, but still seemed out of place. Eyes glance to the wolf sitting next to her feet with a head tilted, looking where Eruda was eyeing. A sneeze giving from the fire dog as that was answer enough. "Okay, fine, it's not perfect, but I have moved this five times Ras. Where else am I gonna move it. Regardless, it will look weird cause we aren't used to seeing it." Giving a sigh, moving the bookcase near the hallway entrance once again. Eruda takes her journal out

Approved!!

Hearing him say floor 22 while she said 1, Eruda rushes back to the pad calling out "Floor 22, Coral" in hopes to catch him before getting too far. Wishing that the nerve would fall, Eruda didn't want to walk around scared of sharing those feelings. That warmth of the town against her skin hits, Raidou already a few paces away. Breathing in deeply to ease that mind of hers. Heading to the house, Eruda unlocks the door, setting the bag at the entrance. "I'm wondering if Mari would agree to a get together, coffee or lunch maybe. I want to know her like you do, but I am worried she wouldn't

Slipping her dress back on, it was soaked from Raserei shaking an ocean on it. Picking the towel up, shaking it away from them and placing it across her shoulders. The cloth was also damp so coldness was going to stay, shivering a bit. Placing the empty container in her bag, knowing that is might just vanish from having completed what it was used for. "Were?" That word stuck, she knew the answer to it. "Thanks, I think..."Eruda has grown so much, but she wanted to here Raidou say it. "Also, how could I ever forget. Even though I was so angry with you at that moment, those words just seemed to

Sitting there watching the gray zoom past, there was some sentiment in the poetry. Reaching over with her sticks, taking another piece to her lips. Remembering the first poetic statement that she heard. "A rose with pedals that wilt in the morning dew, A lily like no other that has sprouted from the forgotten remains of a time that burned from a clock long ago." Glancing over to Rai, knowing that he forgot nothing. "It held meaning then, and it holds meaning now. You should make your own book." The wolf approaches with a winning sound coming from her lungs. Rubbing that wet fur against E

Seeing Raidou walk past her and sit on dry land, it didn't seem like he noticed that Eruda had set 2 towels aside. Maybe the wanderer thought the second towel was for the wolf. Raising a brow, getting up, leaving wet prints behind, walking toward the prepared area. Testing the warmth of the food, it was still somewhat warm, but two of the four sandwiches disappeared. Glancing to the dog with a smug look rolling across her face, Raserei was drinking water not paying Eruda any mind. Grabbing the two cloths and the remaining food, including what Freya had prepared, making her way toward Raidou. H

Gleaming under the light above them, a curve of her lips making it clear that happiness filled her heart. "I knew that you go out and do random things, but when did you have time to get this?" The waves flow over their heads soaking them more than they already were. Eruda finds long blonde hair covering her face, trying to blow it away with no result, couldn't help but laugh at the notion. Combing her bangs to open the view again, small fists against her eyes trying to clear the vision. Watching the water carefully as to not be blasted again. Coughing a bit from the recent obscurity, Eru

"I've learned to live with it and my relationship with Freya has grown from nothing to more than I could ever imagine." Smiling as she turns to Rai blushing a bit. Eruda started to think about everything they had gone through. This game has taken so much, but has also given them much more. Thinking about how everyone has grown, and yet the game hasn't moved forward since the last floor completion. The weirdest feeling was, Eruda didn't feel like anything had to actually be done. Like time has frozen in the world of Aincrad. No word of player killers reaping the halls, or people dying. It was l

"Oh right we never actually told you, cause of obvious reasons." Twisting her head as she floats there next to him, "I have a younger sister Anna... Had... " Thinking a bit before continuing, "My mother stole us twins from him at a very young age, rather kidnapped I guess." Looking back up to the sky, a sharp breath, "According to Griswold, it was because she didn't want to be forced to handle a disabled child so she took the two healthy ones away while dad and Anna were sleeping." Head tilts up to find Raserei back on the beach sands eating the sandwich that Eruda made for the wolf. "One smar

Like mock speed, Rai is already head deep in the water... Both Raserei and Rai were faster than her. Shaking her head and running as fast as she could toward the water, feet splashing against the tides. Ras was following jumping and chomping at the small amount of water. When it was deep enough, Eruda swan dives into the deep end. Something that Freya had taught her, thank god she didn't look like a complete fool in the water. Coming up for air, glancing around for Raidou, he was still like miles away it felt like but swimming inward. "I guess a race is out of the question," saying while laugh

Taking a deep, slow breath, eyes locked with his, trying to not completely melt from the warmth of his hand. "Okay..." was all she could manage to get out. This was more than anything they had ever done, Raidou had changed so much. Eruda wasn't expecting that kind of reaction from him. This was coming across new territory, Eruda was both excited and terrified at the same time. "I want to know you," gaze never leaves. "I want to know everything about you, good and bad..." At this very moment, Raserei comes running from the water right at us. Sliding to a halt, shaking all the water the sunk int

How did he know I was holding back? Am I that easy to read... Eruda thinks right before those soft lip touches hers. Closing her eyes in the same second it was over, but when those eyes flutter open, he was still holding that closeness. Letting out a slow breath not realizing she was holding it, those eyes. Feeling like she could just melt, shoulders sink a bit. "I..." Trying to say something but can't get it out. Eruda right then felt like if she couldn't say it... Pulling back ever so slightly, pulling her dress off exposing her bikini. Moving the meal and bag slightly over, moving closer. F

Chuckling "I learned from the best," as she looks to him. Skin practically glowing in the light, glassed off, Eruda was trying hard not be closer. Still wasn't sure of the rules of this whole dating thing. There was a time that they were so close to one another, when she was ready for everything, but Rai made those morals stand. Eruda would have broke them all if he didn't stop her. What is the rush, right? There was still so much that she hasn't experienced. Turning her eyes as to not stare long, she looks to the bag. Opening the box that Freya provided them, it smelled so good. The cont

"Thank you..." saying in almost a question. "Yea Simmone told me to be more one with myself. No was not in her vocabulary." Hearing about Freya and seeing the box, lightly taking it from Raidou, placing it in her bag with the other items. "We can share the box," with a half smile as Raserei runs past them toward the door. Raidou looked amazing like always, he didn't even need to try. They walk out the door, darting past them a blue smudge. Eruda just chuckles as she seemed to be yards ahead already. There was a small breeze that made the blond hair wave behind her. Finding themselv

Before anything more could be said, the man was already out of sight. Opening her mouth to say something, but instead thinking there was so much to do in so little time... Quickly Eruda scrambles to her room, opens a closet and just stares. Crap... Smelling under her arms, didn't have a scent, that was a good thing. Pulling a light purple sun dress, setting it on the bed. Trying to decide on the many bathing suits that Simmone had picked out for her. They all looked very exposing... "Dam it Simmone..." blush peers over the cheeks. Finally pulling out a light blue set, it was going to be a new

Flipping an egg with a small smile followed by a chuckle. "Being our house doesn't make me a better cook." Hearing a few crunches then feeling a bump against her leg, Raserei was waiting for something to drop. Raidou was right though, there was no sudden urge to beat the game anymore. Very curious why that was but everything was just so right, like it was meant to be this way. "Ras, I feel like she needs to be out more. I don't want her running around breaking stuff, too cooped up is bad for a wolf." The eggs finish, looking them over, they didn't seem burnt. "Hmm," as she brings the pan over

Lifting her head slightly, then closing her eyes again, not comprehending yet that Rai had walked in. Finally it clicked, as Eruda jumps upright in the seat trying to fix the mess on her head. "Not sure why, but I didn't think you were going to be home this morning," saying in a cracky voice. Clearing the throat, getting up and heading to the tea kettle that was now hooting. Turning the burner off, seeing the two cups and mats set, Eruda smiles. Pouring some steaming hot water into the mugs saying, "I was going to take Raserei to the lake today. Maybe a few sandwiches, really the only thing i

Peering through the window, a light of early morning rising. Hearing a yawn from a wolf at the edge of the bed. Pulling the covers to block the sun. "Just a few more minutes," a muffle of voice before a pounce of weight upon her chest. Apparently Raserei had other idea's. Pushing the covers up and over the blue flame burrowing her beneath. Giving a small playful growl before poking a head out, catching Eruda by surprise with a large wet one. Small chuckling before the wolf hops off the bed, pushing her nose toward the door, running out. Eyes drift toward the glass with a sigh. Getting ou

Opening that door, softly closing it and locking it. Eruda would go to the guild hall and pick up a few things before heading to floor 6. Wandering through the town of floor 6, it was dark, early and silent. Not a peep within the area around her. Eruda was alone, taking a deep rough breath. It would be clear that Eruda was having a bit of trouble, but nothing that she couldn't handle. That dream was getting to her, not by complete intention though. It felt so real when it was happening, but Eruda knew better. Nothing like that would happen like it did. Firm Anima was smarter than that, Eruda h

Placing both hands on the sink, staring into the mirror. Eruda has changed so much since she first came into this game, it was night and day different. Everything was so different and maybe she was getting worked up for absolutely nothing, but she still couldn't help but think about everything. How far she and Raidou had come, Freyd and Eruda had become actual friends. Eruda had friends... That was something that she had loathed for most of her life. Everything that has happened... Eruda smiles at her reflection. It was most likely nothing, for all she knew that dream that she had was somethin

A slow, deep breath, Eruda found that she was crying when a hand was pressed to her cheek and if came back wet. Shaking her head, breath was cracky. This dream felt so real this time. Everything that could have possibly gone wrong did. Time and time again since they got back from talking with Morrighan, when Raidou finally became real to her. Every day from then, Eruda has had little to no sleep. It had been weeks and regardless of whether or not Eruda thought that it couldn't happen, that it wouldn't happen that way, they all still just died. Every last one of them. "I can't do this any

Setsuna gets grabbed from mid air and thrown to the ground. Eruda's eyes widen in terror, as Kasumi's pedals burst into nothing as she lays on the ground and pops herself. Tears fall down Eruda's face as Gaius had a spear plunged in his heart, Freya right next to him as a sword cuts clean through her neck. Eruda couldn't breath, grasping for air as a piece of her, lost. Eruda pulls her shield up as a hardy bulk of a weapon was holding resistance. Eyes lock on her father, surrounded, unable to fend them off. Eruda's chest felt heavy with emotion as she feels a blade carve up her spine, causing

Eruda spends the morning cleaning house on floor 1. Placing her equipment on her back, Eruda was far from done for the day. New quests were showing up and from the readings on the red oak table, the information of some stood nearly blank. To Eruda that meant that Raidou had not yet investigated for the normal calculations. Taking out a small purple notebook that had all of those listings within it. Choosing one at pure random, there was a lot that needed to be done. A small circle by that quest name, closing that book and heading up to floor 25 for preparations. Raserei at her feet as th
