For the first ti in what felt like forever, I woke up without screaming or tearing miscellaneous body parts out. In fact, I feel the most comfortable I have ever been in lordran. Bar the armor.
My sleep was still worse than any I have had on earth but it was tolerable which is sothing that is very new to in Lordran. I wish I didn't wear armor so that I feel the ungodly softness wrapped around better. Then I realized.
What the hell am I sleeping on? And when the hell did my body sleep?
Then I looked up and saw her. Her chin nestled above my head as her snowy white hair cascaded down onto my helt. Her arms and tail wrapped snugly around .
Huh, this is the first ti(that I rember of, rember MY IDENTITY AND MORIES ARE IN SHAMBLES! HNAHAAHA) that I have been cuddled. As the small spoon nonetheless. And to be honest, her beautiful face is the most beautiful and cute thing I have ever woken up to in my life. And this shit was just SO comfortable.
So I made no effort to get out of the rather embarrassing situation of a grown-ass man being cuddled as a small spoon and instead wriggled a bit to make myself more comfortable.
...
...
...?
Nothing?
All positive thoughts I have had about comfort should've been smothered to death by /voice1/ or should've spiraled into a genocidal line of thought by {voice2} by now. Strange.
But I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. Every minute I am not tornted by the voices in my head gnawing on my mind is a goddam vacation to .
It also seems I have massively, massively underestimated the power of Priscilla. She managed to do sothing that none other in Lordran could do.
She gave a night's sleep and managed to shut up 'Armageddon' aka {voice2}. Which is basically the embodint of my acculmalated anger and indignation toward this vile piece of shit of a world.
Even getting killed more than 50 tis over couldn't shut that bastard up. Even fucking ORNSTEIN couldn't shut him up. Yet she did.
Truly terrifying.
Speaking of the devil, she began waking up and let go of unconsciously to stretch her arms, like a cat(completely adorable). Before reflexively grabbing once again. Then she realized I woke up too.
''Are you okay now?''
Oh, I'm more than okay, in fact, this is the first ti I have felt like anything more than a corpse in the last few years. My only wish right now is that I didn't have the compulsion to wear armor and helt 24/7. Alas so compulsions are hard to overco.
''Yeah, thanks Pris.''
Hearing she tilted her head to the side in confusion.
''Pris?''
Oh right, she is starved of social interaction so I doubt she has much grasp on the concept of nicknas. Actually, I would be surprised if this backward piece of shit world even had the concept of them.
''It's a nickna. Just think of it as a way to affectionately refer to soone.''
When she heard that it seed like her eyes lit up. And her cheeks similarly lit up in a slight red hue.
''Oh, then I thank thee for the gesture. I am glad to receive such praise.''
It feels weird to hear soone speak like old English royalty yet essentially say: I have no friends and I haven't had any human interaction in the last 100 or so years.
After a half hour or so we finally got up to the morning sun shining down upon us. After stretching (which I didn't actually have to do since with dexterity 99 I can basically fold my arms like paper but habits are hard to shake off) I turned to her.
''Whelp, what do you say about leaving this place, Pris?''
At my words, her mood suddenly beca solemn and disappointed.
''I'm afraid I can't, while others can leave by plunging from here I cannot. I have tried.''
I just reached up and petted her head in response(she was kneeling, a bit too tall for ). She seed quite confused at the gesture but still leaned into it while blushing up a storm. After a bit of enjoying her fluffy hair, I retreated my hand into a cough to speak, while seeming disappointed she listened to intently.
''Don't worry, that won't be a problem. I know a way out of everywhere, in fact, they used to call slippery corpse back in uni.'' Of course, they probably didn't, I cant even rember the faces, nas, or even the general appearances of any of my friends or family. Or the university I went to for that matter.
''I... do not know what half of that ans but I would really like to see the outside world. Can thee really allow to leave the painted world?''
In response, I stood tall and placed the pharis hat on top of my helt, and reached for my gloves. Taking them off to reveal the scarred hands beneath I scoured up whatever was left of HIM as I pieced together so of the fragnted mories to create at least a pleasant mory for her.
I extended my hand out to her as an invitation.
"Not just that, I can show you the whole world. Maybe even beyond that, so will you accompany on my journey Priscilla?"
As the words flowed from my mouth she sported a smile so warm it felt like even my cold dead soul got a spark of warmth inside it. There were tiny droplets of crystal tears in her eyes as she nodded and took my hand as she stood up.
When our hands connected I felt a small spark almost(almost/I am incapable of feeling/) jump inside . A speck of light in the abyss. I felt a warmth in my heart I couldn't describe, but I liked the feeling.
"Yes, I will!"
Grinning like an idiot under my helt I pulled her in suddenly, making her lose her balance. And suddenly swept her off her feet. Giving her a princess carry as she looked at with a heavy blush.
"Then let us depart!"
{Howard}!
The space-ti around us distorted as my ability warped us to the bonfire of my choosing thanks to the influence of the lordvessel. And shortly after we arrived at the bonfire in Gwynevere's room. Still, in my arms, she looked around in wonder as she hadn't seen the world in decades.
Eventually, though, I had to set her down. Not because I was tired or anything, I could run for 10 hours before getting tired. But because holding soone nearly twice your size in a princess carry is not very comfortable.
But even after I set her down she still looked around in a daze. Honestly, the only way that I could gauge her mood and emotions was with her tail. And if that is right then I'm worried her heart would explode soon as her tail was wagging so fast that it looked like a blur.
''Whelp, welco to Lordran Pris!'' /Welco to hell!/
She still looked around with tears in her slightly unbelieving. Making feel quite awkward. No genuinely painful for .
(Please... just respond. I'm trying to do everything I rember from theater class. Am I not acting well enough?)
Suddenly, opposite to my worries she turned around and lifted into the air, and gave a bear hug.
*Creak* *Crack*
With such strength that my armor bent(the sa armor that could take hits from the stray demon) and cracked around half of my ribs. The sensation of my lungs being crushed was unpleasant but that was balanced out by the nice hug.
And my head was smothered by her b-
She spoke in a tiny, almost fragile voice.
''thank you''
I just hugged her back until she released . I didn't really try to speak as a few loose ribs stabbed my lungs, and if I spoke that would be too noticeable. After she put down and cald down I rearranged my skeleton to put it together and used heal to get myself back into full condition.
After we chatted while we explored Anor Londo night edition. It was... fun. Unexpectedly so. Not the exploration but of seeing her reaction to things. How she approached seemingly everything with innocent curiosity. It just ward my heart.
I couldn't help but tease her whenever possible. And she always blushed and puffed her cheeks in mock indignation but I could tell she was enjoying it too.
Eventually, though we had to make our way back to the shrine. Or well whatever was left of it. Coming back there we saw a hill covered with grass and a few trees with so makeshift houses and tents.
Apparently, the boys were out hunting so big ga while I had my chuunibyou phase and ca back to no shrine and scorched land. Which Laurentius fixed with the new pyromancies he taught himself. Honestly, I kinda missed those guys.
Even Patches.
The guys were surprisingly welcoming toward Priscilla. Even Solaire who was a diehard fan of sunlight and lord Gwyn welcod her into the Firelink camp with open arms. When I asked him about it he simply said.
''Hahahah! Do not worry my friend, all are equal under the grossly incandescent sun! Besides a friend of my friend is always a friend of mine!''
Sun bless you Solaire, you are too good for this world.
Patches on the other hand...
''Boss' mistress eh? What do I call her then? Eh, who cares.''
Apparently, he didn't really care too much about her existence other than her relation to . Though he seed to like her being half dragon because, and I quote: ''Anyone and anything that gives those filthy clerics the middle finger gets a plus in my books.''
As for Priscilla herself she really enjoyed eting new people, though she still seed to gravitate toward more often than not. And while they were getting better acquainted I hopped down the hole and placed the lord vessel down.
After that, I made my way back to Pris while thinking about my future plans. But unlike before, with her by my side, things seed a little brighter than before.
