A/N : Here we go, and before you begin, remember when I said I might make the romance a bit cringe? Yeah, might have done that a bit too soon. So yeah, be prepared for...anything I guess.

"You remembered?" She asks.
"Course I did, not everyday someone asks me on a date."
"I-I didn't mean it like that." She stutters out.
"Your stutter and blush say otherwise, So, what say we meet up sometime during our vacation?" I tease, causing her face to redden even more, and she turns her face away.
...
What the hell am I saying?
Why am I going forward with this?
Is this really my hormones or is it just what my heart wants?
she turns to me as soon as she regains some semblance of control over her crimson face, "I would like that..." She mumbles.
"S-So how about after the field trip?"
She nods, agreeing to my proposal.
Just then the bell rings, signaling the start of the next class.
"I should get going to Gideon's class now, see ya." I wave as I walk away.
What the hell is wrong with me?
Did I really go against my better judgement and ask her out? (A/N : You thought it was your heart, but it was me Erebus!)
Well, it is what it is I guess.
Gideon's class goes by without any issues, other than him throwing a chalk at a green haired girl who was conversing with Arthur.
He asks her to state the 'primary components of a basic light producing artifact,' to which she not only stated each component but also began to explain what their purpose is and how the LPA is created.
Gideon was forced to interrupt, "Okay, okay. That's enough! Sheesh, I just asked for the material."
I chuckle at this, seems like you have a potential competitor for the moniker of the #1 Artificer in Dicathen, Gideon.
After class I bump into Nathan in the corridors, "Hey, where were you? Haven't seen you all day."
"I, uh, had something to do. Just some family business." He replies with a strained smile.
Somehow I find it unlikely that he missed two classes for 'just some family business.'
But I don't pry, its personal for him that much I can deduce.
I'll know if he decides to tell me.
"I see, so you coming for the other classes?" I ask.
"Yeah, I will." He says.
I notice Arthur talking to the same Green haired girl from before.
"Anyways you have a senior class now right?" He asks.
"Yeah." I say.
"So I'll see you later then." He swiftly runs away.
Something is definitely wrong with him.
I notice Arthur talking with the same green haired girl from the class.
"Sup Arthur." I greet, just before hitting his shoulder.
"What was that for?" He asks.
"You know exactly what that was for you sly bastard." I say.
He chuckles, "Alright, fair enough I guess."
His companion looks at me, confused.
"Anyways, who is your friend?" I ask.
"Oh, This is Emily Watsken, someone I met in Gideon's class. Emily, this is Fayden my twin brother."
"A pleasure to meet you." I extend my arm.
As she returns the handshake I notice the calluses on her palm.
I raise an eyebrow, but don't question it.
Turning to Arthur I speak, "My, Arthur you ain't cheating on Tess are ya?" I ask.
He turns slightly red before whacking my head, "I told you it's nothing like that between us."
"Sure, sure." I chuckle as I massage the spot he hit.
Damn, he didn't hold back did he?
"Ah, there you are!" Elijah runs to us.
"Director Goodsky wants-Oh," He stops as he notices Emily.
"H-Hello," He waves.
"Elijah this is Emily. Emily, Elijah." Arthur introduces them.
Elijah has a lovestruck look on his face, with his mouth hanging open and a slight blush.
"I-It's nice to meet you!" He says, shaking hands with her.
"Y-Yes! Nice to meet you too..." Upon closer inspection I notice she too has a small blush on her face.
I couldn't hold myself, "Aw, you two gonna kiss?"
Instantly Elijah starts sputtering and Emily covers her face with her books.
Arthur looks at me confused, before turning to Emily, "Pay him no mind Emily, he likes to mess with people. I swear he's a sadist sometimes."
"Oi you're not much better with the number of times you hurt yourself just by being reckless, or a dumbass in general." I retort.
"Shut up!" He growls back.
"Ah right!"
Elijah's sudden shout startles me.
"Director Goodsky asked me to make sure you head to the training room." He finishes.
"Just him?" I ask.
"Yeah, she didn't say anything about you. Sorry."
"No need to be sorry, I understand." I wave his apology away.
"Alright, you three get acquainted then. I'll see you later." Arthur says before he goes.
"Make that two, I've got another class." I blurt out.
Arthur looks at me confused, since he didn't have any more classes today.
"Conjurer class." I elaborate.
"Ah, alright then."
I nod before heading off myself.
________________________________________________________________________________
After my class I decide to get some training in.
Going down the elevator I begin to ponder on Nathan's strange behavior.
Has something happened to his family?
He seems distressed, but not enough to classify as grief.
So no deaths then, maybe someone got injured?
Sigh.
This wont do me any good unless I ask him.
And I'm not going to do that.
I'll give him time.
If he's still like this, then I might need to ask him about it.
I am forced out of my thought as the doors open and I see Tessia walking towards the elevator.
"Sup sis-"
"Don't call me that! It's never gonna happen!" She fumed before storming off.
I stand there blinking in shock.
Finally coming to my senses I mutter out a response, "What crawled up her ass and died?"

Authors Note :
And more drama.
But more importantly, another FayKath moment.
Was it too rushed.
Anyways besides that.
We're relatively close to widows crypt...
I won't spoil much but, I won't torture you with it like Turtle did.
And why is Nathan acting so strange?
Any guesses?
Ah well, see you tommorow.
Until then.
Ciao.
