"So, this is the house"
"Well, it sure is, the lights are not too bright, it's spread out and even has a huge courtyard, all this for 1 million Presatik, it is worth it, plus as said the family left around 2 weeks before the entry of Ra, so logically the house would be in condition.
As Ascais and Rhine walked into the house they could feel the love for the building, the walls were clean and had large arched windows. Through them light flowed through all seasons, gracing the air without favour, illuminating the sweet-toffee browns of the wooden floor. There was a song in the walls of the house that raises their spirits in quiet moments when the wind becomes still air and it sounds as if the world has paused to take a moment to breathe. In those silent words, in the purity of their expression, I find my inner peace and realise that I am home.
"It's the first thing that I have bought with someone who is my fiancé, so you should make yourself proud for it is me"
"Most of the money came from the budget of Ra" Rhine stood there emotionlessly exclaiming that the pride was brought off the supreme association.
"Whatever, but I still paid around twenty per cent of the total cost"
"You are acting like it is a big deal, "because it is, two hundred thousand Altus is a big deal"
"As you are going to get upset about it"
"For now at least you should look at your scouting mission, so here is your briefing that I came up with it"
"WOW, a mission briefing at 2 in the morning, a person who is supposed to just look at me the entire job, plus father told me to live a normal life too isn't it" saying this Rhine started to go past Ascais and climb up the steps to the 1st floor where the bedrooms were meant to be.
Ascais grabbed Rhine's back collar and shouted, "If you listen to the briefing, I will sleep with you", Rhine turned back and starred into Ascais' eyes deeply without any sign of respect to Ascais, "Seriously giving your body away to make someone work, what are you a pig or a monster or a person who makes corporate slaves"
"You were the one asking me to take a step further into our relationship"
"So, what I want to take it, 'IN A NATURAL WAY' so please don't spoil my plan, if you want are so eager than just, I will listen to your mission briefing"
"That's way good"
"Tomorrow" Rhine rushed through the stairs and picked a random door wishing it was a bedroom, luckily it was as she wanted, Rhine looked at the door thinking that Ascais wouldn't cause damage to the house that he just picked, after stumbling in the dark room she managed to reach the light switches and turn them on, surprisingly the room was in good condition, there were no smells disturbing her nose nor a much of concentration of dust particles in the air, The bedroom was just tidy enough to show that the previous user cared about the space and just messy enough to show that she was able to let her creativity roam free. It was her goldilocks zone, perfect for how she was. In instance Rhine jumped into the bed with her clothes on, she fell asleep in a matter of seconds, as she tried or she just wanted to escape the work, she was snoring like a little girl in her teens about to burst a night with her friends.
At the stairs Ascais stayed put realising that he had made a fool of himself, it was natural for him to do that, Rhine was the only person that Ascais didn't have a guard on while being close to her this revolution was brought about in only about what 3 to 4 weeks, while people who were close to him since his qualification towards being an ACE, had to bear with Ascais putting up a guard. The never wanted anyone to realise it but he had made it clear whenever he carried a sword and a pouch of release crystals to hangouts outside Ra services.
Seeing nothing to do Ascais climbed the stairs after Rhine and went to the room beside her, unlike Rhine's room Ascais' one was scrambled and un-tidy enough to show that the previous user didn't care about the space and just messy enough to show that he was able to let his creativity roam free. A desk was seen near the room's window, on it, there were numerous pieces of paper with marks of ink smudged with water, a faint part of it visible enough for Ascais to understand what was going in the head of the previous user, A photo of a young family was pinned on the wall with tape, a small girl and a slightly younger boy were holding their hands to their parents who had their faces blurred. This rose suspicion in Ascais' head but he didn't care much about it.
"This room reminds me of my old room"
He went and rested on the bed, it is the safe harbour from which his soul played with the black heavens, communicating in the language of the stars and feeling the sweetness of the soul-ether. For some reason, he slept like a kid that day without thinking about his past, present and future. He understood why Rhine was asleep so fast, but it wasn't over, he could hear the snores of Rhine as she was asleep the almost asleep Ascais woke up immediately once he heard Rhine's snoring, he tried to sleep but the image of Rhine sleeping kept plugging into his mind, it wasn't too late until his junk woke up.
6 hours later-
A sleepy Ascais came out of his room, going downstairs he saw Rhine cooking in the kitchen area, the could smell the aroma of the deep-fried chicken and the sweet aroma of the pancakes she had cooked.
"Good morning, my sweet little sleepy Fiancé. Looks like you didn't have a good night's sleep"
"In like 6 hours of sleep time, I switched my places like 10 times, the bathing room, the floor, the couch, the desk, the balcony and even under my bed yet I didn't have a good sleep for your snoring habits which sound more like moans"
"What"
"Nothing, so what is there for breakfast"
"Don't change the topic when I am talking about something else, so say how was I snoring"
Ascais sat down on the dining table "Like a Female about to take in a Big d---, that's how your snoring sounds like, most of the time of my sleep was to keep me in my sense to blast through the door and plug a cloth in your mouth to keep you shut up"
