Beads of sweat ran down my face. I didn't think that Leyhna would actually have a way to figure things out.
"Maybe they didn't put my na up in the directory yet...?" [Solace]
I was t with a fist to the stomach. Leyhna really wasn't in the mood for jokes.
"Oof! Can't you take a joke?!" [Solace]
"Can't you take a hit?" [Leyhna]
I groaned in agony on the floor, clearly still feeling the attack.
"Tell who you are, and what you're doing here." [Leyhna]
("This isn't good. I'm getting beaten black and blue, for basically no reason. Should I actually just say that I'm Fina's familiar?") [Solace]
Just as I was pondering about my choices, I snapped back to reality via punch to the face.
"Ow! What was that for?!" [Solace]
"You were too quiet. I thought you were planning sothing." [Leyhna]
I looked at her with disbelief. It was either that Leyhna had incredible intuition, or that she's just an idiot.
"Are you going to answer or not?" [Leyhna]
Raising another fist, she indicated another punch.
"Woah, woah! I'll answer!" [Solace]
Due to the fact I kept getting hit, I decided to just co clean.
"I know you might not believe , but I'm actually Solace. Fina's familiar." [Solace]
I was pretty worried if she would believe , but I placed my hopes in her.
"..." [Leyhna]
Remaining silent, I got another taste of her knuckle sandwich.
"Agh! Why?!" [Solace]
"Why? Because you're lying. You don't look like Solace." [Leyhna]
When she puts it like that... Leyhna was right. My |Mimic| form was very different from my spirit form.
"I evolved! My looks changed after I evolved!" [Solace]
I dispelled my |Mimic| and reverted back to my little spirit form. This allowed to escape from being pinned down, but I was instantly snatched out of the air.
"Y-You're crushing ! You're crushing !" [Solace]
Considering the amount of points in my stats, I was pretty confident in my physique. Turns out, it still hurts when squeezed inside soone's palm.
"This color... a spirit?" [Leyhna]
"Uh, yeah? Can you maybe um, I dunno, let go?" [Solace]
Leyhna ignored my words. Instead, she inspected .
"Hm... I've never seen a spirit speak before." [Leyhna]
"Then I guess I'm pretty special. Anyway, have you considered letting go?" [Solace]
Leyhna ignored once again.
"Do you have any proof that you're Fina's familiar?" [Leyhna]
"Does being able to make myself look like my previous form count?" [Solace]
"...I'll let you try." [Leyhna]
She released from her grip, allowing to fly freely.
"|Mimic|." [Solace]
White mist swirled around , eventually revealing a little yellow ball of light upon vanishing.
"Oh, you really can turn back." [Leyhna]
I tried to agree with her, but then I realized I couldn't speak again.
("Dispel |Mimic|.") [Solace]
White mist surrounded once again, this ti, it reverted back to my yellowish human spirit form.
"Huh? Why'd you change back?" [Leyhna]
"I can't speak when I'm like that. You see, there's a reason why people have mouths." [Solace]
Leyhna shrugged. I guess she didn't have any complaints about that.
"So, I'm going to assu you are Fina's familiar. Is that correct?" [Leyhna]
"Yep." [Solace]
"And you are supposed to protect her, correct?" [Leyhna]
"Yes...?" [Solace]
I didn't really know where she was going with this, but I just followed along.
"Then why is it that I find it so unbelievable when I rember you untying Fina's necktie while naked?" [Leyhna]
Now I saw where she was going with it.
"Well, you see... There were... many things going on. I have my own circumstances." [Solace]
"Like?" [Leyhna]
"I can't transform with clothes on. That's literally it." [Solace]
There really isn't much to explain, so I answered bluntly.
"...I'll believe that for now. Can you refrain from transforming into a human for a while?" [Leyhna]
"Why?" [Solace]
"I'll bring sothing to help with your... lack of clothing. By the way, does Fina know you can turn into a human?" [Leyhna]
"No, I've been keeping my previous appearance around her." [Solace]
Leyhna looked at with a puzzled expression. It seed that she didn't understand my intentions.
"...Is there a reason why?" [Leyhna]
"I don't know her situation yet. From what I've seen she's bullied at school when you're not around." [Solace]
"What?!" [Leyhna]
The flas around her flared, and her eyes narrowed. Pretty sure she just got pretty mad.
"Who was it?! Tell !" [Leyhna]
"Woah! Watch the fire!" [Solace]
"Oh." [Leyhna]
She took notice of her ability, causing her to dispel it.
("Thank god... One thing to not worry about.") [Solace]
"The bullies were uh... I don't rember their nas." [Solace]
"..." [Leyhna]
She stood up and sighed. Without another word, she headed to the door.
"Huh? Where are you going?" [Solace]
"Outside." [Leyhna]
"Wait, you're leaving here? Alone? With Fina? I thought you didn't trust ." [Solace]
Leyhna stopped at the door. She then turned towards while pointing two fingers at her eyes and then to .
"I trust you a bit now. Just know that I'm still watching you." [Leyhna]
She then left the room and closed the door behind her.
("Leyhna really left like that?") [Solace]
Just as I thought that, the door reopened and Leyhna peeked her head through.
"I'm warning you, don't do anything weird to Fina." [Leyhna]
"Uh... I know." [Solace]
Leyhna gave a little glare, but then eventually left.
("She really ca and went like a storm.") [Solace]
