Garou

The NPC shambled up to CobaltsDream at nearly light-speed. "That's amazing! Normally it takes people at least an hour to figure out the Lover's Knot!" He backed up and smiled brightly. "Your prizes will be given as quest rewards at daybreak tomorrow!" He walked away as Yon looked at his "girlfriend." "Well, thats everything. What now?"

The purple-haired youth began to smile as the game-runner walked back to them. "WHAT THE- You beat the game!?" He scurried over to them in wonder, examining each of their faces a little too close. "Er... well... I... um..." He was feeling more uncomfortable than before. Yon looked over to Beatha as if asking for help.

Garou pulled back awkwardly, face red again. He wiped the saliva off of his lips and looked away shyly. "I-I'm sorry... I shouldn't have done that!" His body felt alright, however. In fact, in felt downright swell.

Before Yon could realize what he was doing, he stepped forward and grabbed Beatha's hands again, pressing his lips onto hers. His mind fell comfortably numb as he stayed for several seconds against her face.

Yon looked at his free hands with wide, surprised eyes. She did it... Wow... She must be skilled... He looked up at her, unable to really form words. His throat tugged and he blinked, staring at her.

He pulled with his wrists, but he couldn't find the right way out of the bind. After a few minutes of struggling, the NPC keeper turned and began to walk away. "I'm going to get some ropes! Good luck, kiddos!" Garou continued pulling even harder. A few minutes after the man had left, the boy looked up into Beatha's eyes with a small smile.

Within a couple of minutes, the man had bound their hands together in a single string of rope. Yon and Beatha were forced into grasping hands, facing each other. The boy tried to worm his way out of the knot, but his attempts were sad and lacking in progress.

"It's my pleasure." He beamed at her as they reached the location. A tall man in a suit and a mustache awaited them at a crate with a few strings of rope. He looked up from fiddling with the rope. "HELL-O, people! Would you care to try a game of Lover's Knot? You look like a lovely couple! Don't worry, its free!" The man was excited and obviously gleeful.

Garou smiled and nodded. "Yes. Let's go, Beatha." The boy led the way there, smiling to himself as he thought about the day's events. Why... would she want to be with me, of all people...? Instead of frowning at his personal mental question, he smiled a bit wider.

Garou frowned as he let her go. "I'm sorry, are you alright?" he asked. (Man, he can be annoying sometimes XD) The Victorian-clothed boy patted her head and spoke after her answer. "It's only a couple of streets away."

"Well..." he whispered into her ear. "I hear we are forced close like this, with our hands tied behind each other's backs in rope, like knotted handcuffs. If we can get out without breaking the rope, we get a prize." He smiled at her warmly.

Yon left a generous tip of col for the waitress (I have no idea why I'm doing this...) and pulled Beatha into his arms suddenly. "Well, I was thinking we could try Lover's Knot..." he was blushing but now he stroked her hair.

Yon nodded as he stood up from the table, his food now finished. "Do you want me... to wait outside...?" He looked nervous and a bit sad. Most people were gone from Millerwing Diner, only two other couples remained (besides the NPCs, of course).

"I..." he gagged again, this time on air. "I think you're beautiful and actually sweet, but I don't want to be a burden on you." Garou started sweating as he took a quick swig of his strawberry milkshake, obviously shy.

He gagged on his food at the words, unable to speak a lie at the moment. Instead he took another drink and sighed. "I just feel so weird..." Garou admitted honestly. He started eating his burger and fries again slowly.

The Chained Werewolf broke eye contact and blushed further, wondering if he was really so stupid to ask such a question. He returned to his food in silence, hoping that his question had at least gotten Beatha's mind off of whoever was lost from her.

The chained, hatted lad frowned with indirect guilt as Beatha hinted at her own family losses. He didn't want to press and took a french fry in hand and ate it. "Beatha... how would you like... to go out with me...?" Yon's face was quite red and his accent was American once more, but he looked her directly in her blue eyes with his own green marbles.

The boy bit his lip. "My uncle..." He shifted in his seat, staring down darkly at his food, yet to be touched once more. "My parents were both agents for the United Nations and came to America on a mission. They went missing one night on the job..." He continued giving his meal a tearless, soulless stare, as if Yon was emotionally broken. "I used to live with my younger cousin, but he was supposedly abducted years ago..." The boy's stomach seemed to clench.

Yon stopped for a second. He put his hamburger down on his plate and took a big gulp of his milkshake, closing his eyes. "To tell the truth, Beatha," an accent slipped out of him. "I'm a foreign exchange student as well. I'm from Finland. I got to America in the summer before my freshman year, though..." He was blushing from the use of his accent.

The waitress left for a few seconds into a doorway, then immediately returned with their food. Yon was visibly amazed by the fact that Sword Art Online had modern fast-food built into its fantasy world. I guess it really IS a fantasy, he thought. The boy in chains started chowing down on his burgers and fries, not too fast but not too slow as the waitress left to pick up some tips.

Love birds...? The Chained Werewolf had zoned out. He looked around, trying to figure out who the waitress was referring to when he noticed she was staring indirectly at him. "Um... A cheeseburger, I guess...? Some french-fries... Oh my God, does Sword Art Online even have this modern food!? "And a strawberry milkshake..." he finished, the NPC jotting it all down. The waitress turned to CobaltsDream. "And you?"

Garou smiled and adjusted his seat, his bum sore from all the running they were doing. "I'm glad that I could bring joy to another soul in this chamber of Purgatory..." A blonde NPC waitress stepped over to the pair after the boy was done speaking. "Excuse me," she spoke. "What may I get you two love birds today?"

The polite young man took her hand and led the way to a boothed table at the furthest wall in the diner. He sat down at the corner seat so Beatha wouldn't have to see everyone else in the diner. Yon smiled brightly as he looked up at her. "Is here fine?"

Yon shrugged oddly, closing the door and keeping out the bitter weather. "I prefer a booth. Maybe one against a wall...?"A couple walked out of the building, causing The Chained Werewolf to hold the door for them. The young lovers promptly thanked him. He smiled at Beatha, trying to break their barrier.
