~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Safari, Temporary Camp, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Ti: 9:48 PM)~~~
The large campfire burns hotly, and almost the entire caravan is circled around it. So are drinking alcohol I've never seen before. Dancing with each other. It's really a party if anything else. I'm keeping my guard up.
The last ti a celebration happened, Sally and I were led to sothing neither of us wanted. Speaking of my girlfriend. She's as on edge about this as I am. Her hand is interlocked with mine as we're sitting on the ground and relaxing with the heat from the fire.
Giovanni is dancing with so of the Des'rta. Enjoying the customs and way of life they carry. I'm sure he wouldn't mind becoming a Des'rta. However, our situations are different.
"They're all having a lot of fun. I don't see Xilo anywhere. Where do you think she went?"
My partner gently whispers into my ear as she leans her head over. It's a way to keep ears of others from hearing our conversation. We've been doing this a lot lately.
As great as the Des'rta are, we don't fully trust them yet. Not after what Xilo did to . That's neither here nor there in the end.
"I don't know, and I don't really care. It's not like anyone would hurt her. There are no enemies out here. Giovanni is too busy getting drunk to be a threat, and we're right here."
Instead of saying anything in response, she leans her head against my shoulder and moves closer. Wrapping her arms around mine. It's really nice to be here with her. I enjoy Sally's company more than I used to. Which is a an thing to say.
But there were tis when I wished she'd give space. Those were the tis when she was at her weakest and most insecure. I remained the rock she needed. Now, it's paid off. She's a totally different person now.
"Well, when we do reach wherever we're heading with the Des'rta. What do you think we'll do next? We're trying to find out where we are, and after that. You haven't really talked about anything else."
There's a good reason for that. I don't know what we're doing after I find out where we're specifically at. The Player Map isn't helping.
"Don't get all smart about it, Saliandra. We're going into this blind, rember?"
She's not amused in the slightest I've used her elven na instead of her nickna. It's funny since, in a typical relationship. Won try to playfully hurt their partners on such an occasion. Sally isn't capable of hurting . Playfully or otherwise.
She's forced to sit there in content silence. Or not so content.
"Don't use my na. I'm Sally to you."
Ah, the good old-fashioned demand and heel-digging.
Figuratively, of course.
"Then what am I supposed to use when you get in the mood of being a smartass, huh? Ms. Orvello sounds like a good way. Makes you sound like your age. You're over 1-!"
Her hand finds its way over my mouth, covering it with a glare in her eyes. It's not one that scares , but I know that she's telling there are consequences if I don't stop.
I didn't know that our age gap bothered Sally that much. Or it's as Dad always said. You never talk about a won's age under any circumstance. This is all playful fun. I enjoy tis when I can get a little under her skin from ti to ti.
The atmosphere as people are happy and having a good ti around us makes want to enjoy the subtle things about our relationship.
After a few seconds, she removes her hand from my mouth and takes her relaxed spot against again.
"What is the rest of your family up to? You haven't talked about them since you told you were checking in on them a while back."
I know Hailey and Marcus are on their adventure together. I don't know what Mom and Dad are up to at the mont. I'm not getting in touch with any of them until more ti passes. It's unlikely they'll miss anything from .
Well, I know Marcus and Hailey won't miss anything from . I can't say the sa for Mom. Dad and I have an understanding. A Father and Son know when there are tis to talk and tis not to. Plus, I don't want to think about them right now.
The possibility that they're not my family is still present on my mind. After seeing Arch-Angel Michael in that recording, everything has been shaken up for . We're pretty much Father and Son. The similarities are uncanny.
"I don't know what they're up to, and I'm not going to bother them for a while. Not until I feel like it'll be a good ti too. There is much I'm keeping from them already. The only one that knows what you know is Hailey."
My sister was the first one to know about my story. How I traveled back in ti to change the fate of my family. In the end, that could've all been a manipulation by whatever the hell is going on in the background of my life here.
Sally lets out a small sigh and I can tell there is sothing behind it.
"I should get a hold of Hailey and tell her I forgive her. These past few months have really changed , and I don't think holding a grudge like this is good. Especially to the sister of the man I love. After what happened 5 days ago, this is small in comparison."
That's one way to look at it. That three-way did have so benefits in the end. Sally and Hailey will make ands.
I look as she pulls up her Player Interface, and I can't help looking a little funny at the side of her head. She's looking at her Friend's List at the mont, so she doesn't see my funny look. I didn't think she'd do it at this exact mont.
I watch as she types away on the holographic keyboard. She's picked up the way of communication quickly. Most people take a while to get good with a keyboard. But she's got a great handle on it.
Before she's able to finish, Giovanni makes his way over, and he's completely drunk. He actually falls on his face before he can make it to us.
His face lifts out of the dirt, and the flushed redness of his features causes us both to laugh.
"You guys... Never in my life..."
*Hiccup*
"Have I drank sothing so delightful..."
I stand up and make my way to him. Helping him to his feet. He stands straight for a few seconds. Then he falls backward and on his back this ti. Flat as a plank as he does it.
"Seems our Spice Wine has had quite an effect on you, Giovanni."
The leader of the caravan, Relio, makes his way over to us and looks down at Giovanni.
The French Player looks up at the tall and buff man. A dazed look in his eyes. I'm glad Sally and I didn't partake in the wine. We ca to the smart decision to not drink, smoke, or eat anything that has Spice in it.
Sadly, Giovanni didn't get the ssage.
"He's not as strong as the rest. He's only had a couple of cups. Most in the caravan can handle more than a pint. I bet you could handle far more than that, Raduerial."
Relio turns his attention to .
"I'm not having anything with Spice in it again. It's better that I'm always in control of myself at all tis. I don't want anything bad happening, as you can understand."
The tone in my voice sends the ssage across. He picks up Giovanni with no issues and takes off. I turn back to Sally and see her focus on her Player Interface.
