You are an idiot!
She repeats the words.
What did I do? I just said that I forgive you?
How can you forgive ?! II betrayed you! I took your magic and brought it to [Archmage] Titus!
So?
You should hate ! You should be disgusted by my sole presence!
h, co on, now. Everyone fucks up sotis.
You
Lucinda looks at with narrowed eyes and trembling in pure anger.
Look, Lucy, its not a problem. I should have been more upfront with you. You fucked up, yeah. But I was hiding stuff, testing you. I was setting you up to fail. If I had been honest, told you all I could really do, and that I was really talented, would you have betrayed ?
NO! I WOULD
She shouts and flips the table we were sitting at. Like flip. Wow. She also kicks a chair, and then she looks at so fiercely that I feel like running away to avoid being kicked as well. I look at the truth-stone on the bracelet on my wrist with a stealthy movent. Its sothing I had Claudius enchant according to Lord Juler's directives. The [Enchanter] said it could be a revolution in truth stones. Its basically impossible to evade the truth with this. And now, its not reacting. Not an ounce of a lie in that statent. I wasnt really being honest in putting this on when I got my hands back on my bag of holding, but Im also not inclined to be fooled again.
We could
Her speech is fragnted and pained when she looks at .
We could have been a power couple. The secretly great [Mage] who poses as a [Baker] and the hot big-boobed [Archmage] of wonders.
As her gaze moves to the counters, I start going for the door. I recognize that stare. She wants to throw sothing at . It has happened in the past already.
You! she grits her teeth and starts walking toward with a dangerous glint in her eyes.
I give her my signature wink monts before she grabs by my robe and stares dead into my eyes.
Kiss , she says.
I an, isnt this harassnt? I say with a benevolent smile while looking wistfully at her deep green eyes.
I said
Before she can speak, I land a kiss on her lips. And once again, for the first ti since we last parted, I feel my bones lting. Hell, I feel all my worries lting away. Its like God just threw soap at a tal concert and washed away all the filth from such a sick place.
We continue kissing without moving, stamping our lips on each other for what feels like a rightful eternity. No one wants to end it; we are trying to freeze this mont of history and mark it with a blazing spike on our souls so that we shall one day look again upon it and find solace from it.
When we relent, I have a pained expression on my face, and she looks as sad as . Maybe sadder. Her face is slightly paler, her eyebrows frowning, her lips pursed, and her mouth slightly open. She wrinkles her nose multiple tis.
Is this a goodbye?
Just the thought makes my stomach plunge.
What? she asks with a massive frown.
I an, you looked all sad, I thought you were going to say we couldnt do anything together now. That we were destined to be apart. I dont know. Maybe add so stuff about how we just hurt each other so much that we shouldnt be
She takes by my ear, eyes blazing again.
Are you an idiot?! Im frowning because you stink! Lets go; you need a bath! she shouts in my ear.
Ouch! Ouch! Ok! Im coming, Im coming! Let go of my poor ear! Please!
You thought I would leave you?! You goddamn idiot. Not two tis. If you want to go, go! Now! she instantly releases my ear and looks at with her steely expression.
Lucindas not good at expressing emotions. I found out when we were dating. Shes got a very hard-to-break deanor, and she would rather have sothing explode under her ass than speak out about how she truly feels. You'll have to keep your mouth shut around her. You have to anticipate her moves and understand what she wants without asking. Yeah, just a woman thats more of a woman than the average, nothing that strange. But shes also angry, fierce. In a cold way, though. She got handsy after we started dating. Otherwise, she would barely move her body around . When shes not doing magic, shes always restrained, almost awkward at what shes doing. She observes everything and carefully ponders what to do, even if its the smallest thing.
But now, shes clearly asking a question with her eyes.
I want you, Lucinda. But I have a very important question before we try all of this, I move a finger back and forth between us, again. Can you answer one question truthfully?
The answer is yes, she sighs while her cheeks get so color.
You dont know the question, I say with a frown.
I do.
You dont.
You are a child.
What? You dont know what I was going to ask!
She looks at pointedly before sighing and putting her hands on her sides.
Co on, ask the question.
No! Now you tell what you think the question is! I say, putting my hands on my sides as well.
You wanted to ask if we could have a bath together.
Ha! I wanted to ask if we could
Oh?
How did you know?!
Joey, you love asking stupid stuff when you act serious. When you talk about serious stuff, you act like an idiot. And vice versa.
Oof.
Well, thats true. Anyway, are we still on for the bath?
Lucinda scoffs and goes for the door, leaving the kitchen without looking back.
As Im starting to get depressed about the missed occasion, a robe hits in the face.
Are you coming or not?
I look at the garnt in my hands and run for the door.
