Chapter 43: New company
"Wait."
I stopped mid-step, glancing over my shoulder at the living armor. "By the way, do you wanna co with ?"
I asked the armor, I have a feeling it'd be great to have it around. And my feelings are sotis accurate, so why not ask it to go with ? (•-•)
The armor froze, like, not literally this ti, but more like it didn't expect to ask. It flinched slightly, tilting its head to the side in a way that scread confused puppy.
And for so bizarre reason, I found it... cute? I an, it looks cute, why? I have no idea! (─▽─)
"Don't look at like that," I mumbled, rubbing the back of my neck. "You've been following around anyway. Might as well make it official." Why'd that sound off?
The armor straightened, as if considering the offer. It's head armor slowly nodding.
"Great!" I grinned, clapping my hands together. "Welco to Team Aria. Population: two."
"By the way, the na's Aria! Pleasure eting you!" I said with a toothy grin.
The armor tapped its chestplate, a soft clang echoing through the room. I think it was trying to say 'You're lucky to have .' Am I seriously gonna have another tsundere in my team?
"Yeah, yeah. Just don't slow down, alright?" I teased, turning back toward the dungeon's exit.
"Oh, and no more of that sarcastic clapping nonsense. I an it." Gotta make it know the rules first.
Behind , the faint sound of a single, exaggeratedly loud clap echoed.
"I heard that!" I yelled without turning around.
The armor followed a few steps behind, and for the first ti in a while, I felt like I wasn't completely alone.
Sure, my new teammate was a silent, sarcastic piece of sh- I an, sentient tal, but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right?
As we walked, I started talking—because soone had to fill the silence. "So, what should I call you? I can't just keep saying 'armor' all the ti. Too generic."
The armor didn't respond, obviously.
"How about... Clanky?" I offered with a smirk.
It stopped walking. And looked at as if the next second it was gonna stab .
"Okay, okay, not Clanky," I said quickly, raising my hands in surrender. "Jeez, tough crowd. How about Titan? Sounds strong, right?"
The armor tilted its head, then gave a small, confused, nod.
"Titan it is, then," I said, smiling. "Alright, Titan, let's get out of this dungeon and find out what kind of trouble we can get into."
The two of us continued onward, a mismatched duo of ice magic and silent sassiness.
For so reason, I felt like this was the start of sothing... interesting. Or at least entertaining.
Alright! On wards to ho! (≧∇≦)/
Also, I feel like I'm forgetting sothing?
