Cygnus 0 Posted July 21, 2016 Author #41 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Cygnus hyperventilated, his fist still against the tree. He half listened to Kooh, his mind a jumbled mess of thoughts and feelings. He was hurt, afraid, angry... but also defeated. He just couldn't do it anymore. That outburst completely drained him and left him almost mentally dead. His breathing slowly returned to normal and Kooh would be able to see a few tears stream down his cheeks. He'd wipe them away quickly, however, straightening himself up and checking his knuckles. Uninjured. Of course. He dropped his arm back to his side and looked at Kooh. He looked defeated. At least for now. "Let's go back to town." He whispered, saying nothing more and turning around, continuing down the path and heading back to town in silence. Cygnus turned in the quest without saying a word, the NPC bringing to him a lovely Dragon Leather Coat. Cygnus would turn to Kooh, and without a word, he would open a trade menu with her and trade an item to her. He did it so quickly, she couldn't see the item or anything. "That's for you." He said, looking at her with a sorrowful look in his eyes. Something to remember me by... He thought to himself. "Take care of yourself... okay?" He'd give her what he assumed to be his last goodbye and walked down the street, slowly becoming less and less visible until he was out of view at last. Link to post Share on other sites
Kooh 0 Posted July 21, 2016 #42 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Kooh's cold stare never faltered through Cygnus' breakdown. She was almost there; it looked like those last words did the trick as he solemnly led them back down the foggy forest path back to Delilah. The girl stopped herself from muttering an apology in her thoughts as she stared at his armored back. She couldn't let herself feel remorse or guilt. With her arms still crossed, Kooh followed behind him, keeping the same generous distance as before. They walked in complete silence, no longer strained or awkward, but instead tired and bitter. When the two players finally reached the capital, they sought out the quest NPC to claim their rewards. 'Well, this is it.' The girl drew in a short breath as she prepared for whatever farewell was in store. Despite that, she blinked in surprise when the man turned and a light blue window appeared before her. "E-" Before she could mutter out a sound of confusion, an item was traded to her. She couldn't suppress the puzzled look that crossed her features at Cygnus' words. Without giving her time to properly respond, the man had turned and left. "Well... That's the end of that." Thread Complete!
