Kai.
Smiling. Genuinely innocent smile. Holding a sword with a sphere-like jewel embedded into the end of the hilt to pose for the portrait. Well, that's excessive.
Even so, if I didn't see him and his crew almost kill me, I wouldn't believe this person would hurt me. What did this world do to you? I shouldn't sympathise with the enemy, but this world... it can make the innocent so guilty.
"You snuck into the royal palace to stare at a single painting?" A voice I just heard a few minutes ago spoke. Reddy. Damn... I got caught...
"Oh no! I'm caught!" I added a lot of sarcasm, paying no attention to Red. Something about the background... a forest. Seems like something I've seen before.
"You seem very relaxed"
It's gonna be such a bother to escape after they lock me up... not only that I'll have to listen to Misa and probably Alfie. They would bond so well over obliterating me... just thinking about it... I wanna just faint.
"Shouldn't you report me? Or alert the others? I am a threat. Are you dumb?" I asked out of curiosity, distracted.
W-Wait. Why did I say that? What if he just forgot and I reminded him? Oh OH, AND I provoked him! You idiot! What if he's an arrogant brat with a god complex and can't handle even a little bit of me looking down on him? He has a FRICKING SCARY AURA, I do not want to fight that THING.
"You certainly speak from the heart, no filters at all"
Too late now, Amber. Let's go full Kirito abridged.
"Funny, I thought I was speaking from my mouth," At least that quote's off my bucket list.
Felix sighed and looked down, shaking.
He's so locking me up for life...
I accepted my fate and prepared my soul to get yelled at by Misa.
Suddenly Felix began to laugh uncontrollably, "I am definitely going to steal that snarky reply of yours,"
Well isn't that... unexpected.
"Wait... are you not gonna capture me?" I finally glared at him in confusion.
"Why would I ever do that? My only question is why you entered the way you did, Hero Holmes, you could've informed us of your arrival,"
Yeah sure! Do that and I'll be arrested again! Seems like he wasn't informed that I'm wanted... lucky me. These days seems like all I have is luck.
He does know who I am... and that stupidly strong aura. I really don't want more enemies... I can't handle more enemies. How should I answer then?
"Well, I wanted it to be a surprise. Cat's out of the bag huh-" I looked away to the window with a fake smile. Then... something...
What's the word? Beautiful? Unexpected? White?
There are too many words that can describe snow. I've seen it described countless times in books, drawn countless times in anime, shown countless times in films, but I've never seen it myself before.
Snow slowly gliding down onto the ground in the night sky. Almost made me forget what kind of situation I'm in.
"I see winter has arrived,"
"Pretty," I spoke underneath my breath, my eyes widened. I always wanted to see it. I was going to see it back home, I planned to go to England in December. I was looking forward to that... a lot. 2 years of planning. 8 months of not having it and I almost forgot.
"Anyways, why are you here-"
"Shh... don't ruin the moment," Been about 8 months. Think it was April when we all came here. December now huh? Damn... this year's been a mess. I touched the cold surface of the glass. I despise the cold... but even though it's contradictory, snow looks so warm.
Hiroto's never seen it too, bet he's shivering somewhere from the cold. Hah! Weak. I smiled at the thought.
All of a sudden, I snapped back from my sentimental mood to slowly realize what I just did... no big deal, I just told a really strong dude that I don't know to shut up for a second.
"You've never seen snow before... am I correct?"
"U-Uhh, yeah. Sorry, what were you asking me before I told you to shut up?"
"Nevermind, it's nothing"
Wait, no! I'm curious now I better get the question.
"You piqued my curiosity, now you better tell me what you said,"
"Even for a hero, you're quite bold. You really don't know who I am do you?" Red said with a smile and a doubtful glare.
Super strong dude that I really shouldn't piss off?
"A guard with fancy armour... a noble?" I flicked his chest plate.
I'm trying to remind myself of how scary he has the potential of being, but frick it, he seems friendly enough.
"Captain of the royal knights 1st squadron, Phelix Tristan,"
Wait... hang on... I'm not familiar or interested in the hierarchy of this kingdom or any other, but I can use my weeb knowledge and common sense on this. Royal knights are probably very important, having the word "royal". 1st squadron is probably the strongest group because it's 1st.
That would mean...
"Was I supposed to speak super formally to you?"
"Definitely,"
