Eruda

Closing her eyes with her head up allowing the water to pour down on her face. She was under one of the lesser currents so the splashing didn't hurt in a way. She was not expecting him to come in, but she was glad that he was even here to share even a fraction of this experience. Hearing a slight muffled sound, music. She swims about a foot forward to see a rainbow rave inside the already purple liquid. Her eyes gleam with excitement, "Wow" is all she could say. It was nothing like anything that she had ever seen before. "Thank you" looking up at him, seeing that he was watching her. Smiling w

Watching the rock skip ten times over, she would smile. Looking for another that was semi flat, she decided to try. Finding one, she would shift her body slightly to line her eyes with the pool of water, as she pulls her arm back a bit. With a flick of her wrist, it skips three time. Without thinking about it she jumps raising her arms with "YES" before slowly pulling them down behind her back. Pushing her lips together, turning to Rai with a small chuckle. "First time" remarking as heat build in her face. After a moment her eyes would go to the falls, all the different colors. She began to wo

It had been less than ten minutes before Raidou showed up, the minute she sees him her eyes light up in excitement. "Not really, just got here myself." Seeing him fixated on the falls behind them, they were still a distance away but the pouring water and the colors that reverberating off the rocks was prominent. "I know this is an odd place to meet, but I haven't seen one up close." She would turn toward the cave, "I made a list of stuff that I wanted to do about a year ago, a bucket list if you prefer the phrase." She would begin to walk in, it started to get a bit louder but that was to be e

It was late afternoon, Eruda is sitting at the guild hall table. Papers were laid across the table with only two in front of her. One a check list of things that she had been wanting to do for a while. She found herself having more free time these days and she wanted to spend them wisely before they got busy again. The other parchment was a location. After all this time of being here and looking at all the beautiful described floors she had yet to see a waterfall. That was the first thing on her bucket list. She wasn't really sure if she could get it all done in one day given she started late

"I am well over that part of my life. I have excepted what is and what I had to do next." Eruda nods at the next statement. Some people in Firm Anima would have been lost without him, or worse signing their death certificates. Some poor fool who decided to rob them but killed them instead. "Thank you," saying as she complements her flame. Mari wasn't so bad, she is much different than all the stuff that she heard back in the day about the girl. After the glass shatters Mari would pull Eruda's hand toward her. It was pure instinct, that she could recognize. "Don't ever be sorry for trying to he

Eruda chuckles as the girl mentions the glasses. Then she started talking about her not giving a damn about what other people thought about it. "It a good attitude to have. I wish I had that courage in the real world. Most people thought I was mute so they pushed me around, made fun of me and I just took it because I didn't know what else to do." Swirling the cocoa around in the cup, "It really wasn't until I came into this game and Raidou found me that I even considered talking again." Eruda would smile at this and meet her gaze. "Oh this," as she takes one hand and sets it above the fi

"To be fair I was pretty easy to miss, I didn't talk much back then." Eruda looks down at the ice and starts nodding her head almost like she was counting with each bob. After a moment she started making strides backwards, her feet were moving to the motion of her head. It was like dancing with out the head movement. Shifting herself around, changing directing, going forward not backward. Counting the steps under her breath. It was not fast or graceful but she wasn't falling on her ass which is all she cared about. The other stuff would come with time. "Well knowing you and knowing your name a

Staring up as she blinked the light bits of snow away from her eyes. It was then that another female was heard. At first Eruda didn't look, she was out here alone and she didn't have her gear equipped. Closing her eyes for a moment trying to get a hold of her panicked emotion. With who ever this was were going to kill her she would be dead or at least a sword or hand to the throat, something, but there was nothing. Sitting up she would slide her body around to find a semi familiar face. "Oh hey," a smile on her face as she would take a better look at her surrounding. Seeing a building make a s

Pulling her long white coat closer together, shivering with every step made. Raidou was out and she didn't want to stay in the house today. She wanted to learn something new. Her choices were a bit limited, there was the piano that just showed up. She was still unsure when he had gotten it but without basic music knowledge there was no possible way that she could learn such a complex instrument. There was the dance that Raidou had shown her time and time again but dancing around the house with nothing to latch on to, it would look a bit stupid even if she was alone. There was cooking but she w

A small muffled chuckle as he calls out checkmate, it had been the third game that he stomped her. It was easy to overthink, to create fear that shouldn't even exist. Feeling pressure against her neck, closing her eyes as the sleeve droops down. His touch was absolutely electrifying. A sharp inhale, he wanted to be here just as much as she did and his insane feelings matched her own. It was nice to hear, there was something comforting about those words. He pulls her closer, her face reddens. "Okay," was all she could say, he made it very clear, this made her happy. "I want to show you somethin

His skin was alarmingly cold to the touch. It was a bit weird how she retained heat like fire and he held the coolness of storms. An arm wraps around her back as a hand lays on her left side. Watching each movement carefully learning the strategies of which were hidden until now. "Hmm, but if I move my bishop then my queen would be exposed by your other knight right here," pointing to the piece being referred to. Focusing on every move that could possibly be made. "Moving my bishop would put me in check mate," tying to push every scenario into view. "If I move this knight right here," moving i

A gasp as she was pinned, his lips so soft against hers yet aggressive. Closing her eyes, allowing herself to enjoy the ever longing ecstasy. That burning sensation from every touch, her hand finds his arm. With a twist her fingers search to find purchase, anything possible, the door, the frame something, it was like grasping for straws with no connection. Feeling his warm breath against her neck, she would move her hair quick. Feeling soft jolted lips to her heated skin, it makes her shutter. Those hands of his acting as a balancing act so that neither would fall to soon. The world around the

Setting the wet cloth in the sink, pouring the glass in the garbage. She rinses the rag under hot water, it is warm upon her hands, glancing to Raidou with his back turned. Ringing the fabric out, hanging it on the fridge handle. Taking a soft inhale with a shaky exhale. It was one thing to think about the motions but it was something entirely different when showing off. Grabbing a tiny silk linen off the floor, she would put at least those on. Plus she wasn't sure going outside without them was a good idea. They were cleaning in silence, the heat between them were rising. A slight lock of vis

Breathing became uneven again as he spoke. A small chuckle as she snuggles against his bare skin, it kinda smelled like her, go figure. "Right the flowers, I set them in the pots near the back door." Looking up toward the green house to make sure the wolf didn't get into it, they looked to be safe. Eyes meeting those soft embers, he ordered the Elvin bread. "Oh I hope it the one with the strawberry blend, it's my favorite." He could see the excitement as she perks up. It was probably for the best, that sort of food never tasted very good reheated. She would not be mentioning that she wasted fo

Eyes were still closed but her mind was awake, feeling the slight coldness of the marble upon her bare skin. Images flashing into her mind, it was almost like a slide show. It all felt like almost a dream, her body felt sore but in a good way. Hearing someone playing the keys of the piano, the whole thing was to good to be true. Fluttering her lashes open, glancing down seeing that crimson robe laying across her body. Shifting a bit seeing him with no shirt, her chest starts to pound faster... It wasn't a dream, peering at the chairs that she remembers him moving together. Clothing laid dorman

That look, she knew that look, red mist illuminates around them, that was new. When he pulls her back to his lap she would stop breathing for only a second. So close, those ember eyes reflected off her blue. It was so sudden, so aggressive. The sweet scent of honey on his breath, she could practically taste his lips. So close, oh so very close feeling the pulse of electricity against her skin. Trying to even her breath, it really wasn't working. He compliments her dress, she closes her eyes. Her heart was pounding faster then before as she feels a sudden warmth against her ear with an almost w

Leading her to the table, he has never gone anywhere without that robe. It was the first masterpiece that she had ever made. That crimson fabric took her forever to find, yet he manages to have a strand of it. His robe didn't look damage in any way, shape or form. Unless he found where she was stashing the remainder fabric cut from the same cloth. As they link hands and he drapes one side over her wrist, Eruda's eyes widen. Was he doing what she thought he was doing... -oh my god-. In a time when I was lost, I found you. He folds it against her wrist, her heart was beating a million

Hearing a piano stop playing but the music continued as Raidou came around with a hand held out toward her. Where did he learn to play? A complement given as she meets his eyes. Taking his hand, stepping down the last few steps. Suddenly he twirls her, closing the gap between them. Holding her in his arms, her face so close. "Stunning," soft clearing of her throat, "You look stunning." A smile with not much to say, this was all just so breathtaking. Before she could say anything else, they begin to move. His left hand on her side, Eruda's left hand on his right shoulder with their free hands i

Sitting, staring at the front door, it opens and her heart skips a beat. Seeing him walk in the door with normal entire on. At first she thought maybe he did forget. There was so many questions she wanted to ask but nothing was coming out. Seeing the man hang his robe then walk to the dresser, setting the frames down. That dresser was something that Raidou had placed in the house. To Eruda it was his property so she never felt comfortable opening it. Seeing him pull out a medium sized box, it made her confused. When did he... thinking as he pulls out an old rustic looking bottle. Still the roo

Sitting on the window seal downstairs in her own head. What Freya did a couple days ago was sweet, taking them out to a bar of all things for their belated birthday. What her twin did not know was that it wasn't quite their 21st yet. Eruda didn't want to ruin the day by saying anything, she had been keeping a journal of the days passing in Aincrad thinking that maybe it could be useful somehow someday. Its been exactly 5 years 2 months and 3 days since they had arrived and today marks their special day. Raidou had been gone for three days, it had been since they picked flowers with Nisah

Somehow she was not surprised to see Nisahime on the ship, driving it was a bit weird given that she crashed the ship and yet it was still okay. "Movies nah, books are more my speed," climbing up the rope after placing her shield back behind her. Getting over the side, it smelt like ocean water. Looking around the cargo bay, the last time she was on a boat they almost tipped it and set it on fire. The giant fish didn't like that they were cruising on it's waters. Walking past a bag that looked like there was a crap ton of Col in it. She knew that Simmone had plenty for the guild, besides it wa

Laying in bed, staring at the ceiling, she really didn't want to get up yet. Everyday for nearly 3 weeks she has been up at four am. It was like her brain was hard wired to get up at that time. Blinking one, then twice with light flutters and she was out again. She wakes up to her HUD chiming and Rasarai hopping onto the bed. Running across she starts licking Eruda's face, "Okay okay I'm up," saying as she was trying to shield her face from the licking machine. She sits up, pulls her legs underneath her and holds to blanket up. The wolf was barking playfully now, as she leaps over her familiar

Outstretching her arms and legs with a huge yawn to follow. Glancing to the corner of her unopened HUD, it read 6am. Patting the side of the sheets, there was no Raidou. Feeling a bounce on the bed, eyes meet the fire wolf, Rasarai. With a smile she sits up, pattering her on the head. Eruda gets up, feet dangle of the edge of the bed as she tries to blink her eyes fully open. Rubbing them with another yawn, placing slippers beneath her bare feet. Eruda makes the bed, the wolf helps drag the sheets up to the pillows and hops off. She could hear pitter patter of paws running down the long swirli

Covering her eyes so she didn't get blinded by the light, shaking her head and looking back up. Just like that the Nisa she remembered was in full form, new armor, blade and shield were equipped. "Where ever they are I would love to meet them or one. By the way that armor looks amazing." Eruda got a bit jealous watching her hop on the horse. It was hers so of course she knew how to ride it without being jolted off. Hearing her speak of the Moonglow and the location of Avalon, "I always wondered why it vanished, will it do that if we pick it or plant it in a normal environment?" Seeing Raidou f
