"What? Are you gonna sing me a lullaby?"
"We don't do that." he said while his fingers lighted up with a subtleness in there. "Allow me."
"Why are you asking me when you can do it without my permission?" she asked in grinning face.
"You will be the only human which I vowed not to cast a spell without your permission." he said.
"What if I refuse you now?"
"I'll persuade you." he said. "should I sing twinkle twinkle?"
Luna felt the goosebumps on her body when he smiled gently at her. "No. There's no need. I'm not so capricious human being to ask an orion man to sing a mundane song like twinkle twinkle." she smiled before turning away from his direction towards her room. Then she stopped on her tracks and faced him again.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Ask away."
"What's the deal between Orion and Pleiades?" she asked, remembering how he got agitated about the fact that she might belonged to a Pleiades race. Actually, she wasn't buying such stuff. Nevertheless, meeting a very supernatural being and living with him was very far from her practical ideals before. Might as well learn about those new things unknown to humanity.
Nimrod let silence embraced them briefly, looking down the floor in contemplation. Luna patiently waited for him until he finally looked up to her.
"Orion has been at war to Pleiades since ancient times." Nimrod slowly stepped closer to Luna until he towered over her now. "In simple language, we both are born as mortal enemies and all Orion are designed to eliminate all the starseed from the Pleiades constellation."
Luna was pinned at the dark and intent stare from the being coming from the Orion. If it was true that she came from Pleiades, she might already found herself ensnared into a killer's hand. Her throat felt suddenly dried since Nimrod was slowly losing the gentle glint on his greenish eyes right now.
"H-have you killed a Pleiades starseed before?" she dared to ask and when he wasn't answering, she might have already known the answer. But she looked up to him, refusing to back down against his own imposing aura. "You wont hurt me..." she said.
"If you're so confident about it, why are you shaking before me smidgen?" he asked.
Luna then dared to punch his chest although it only came gently. "You're scaring me you grouchy alien." she said almost tearing up.
Nimrod only smirked at her then.
"You wont hurt me." she said again.
Nimrod only shook his head. "That's why I'm fucked up big time. Come here. Why are you shaking before me, agi?"
Luna just let herself be enclosed to his embrace once again. "Because you-," she punched his chest now.
"Let me tuck you in bed while I tell you a very interesting story about the ancient war." he said before he looked down to her face. "Hmm? You're still not sleepy, right?"
Luna then shook her head. "Not yet."
"Good. Because this is a tale of Orion and your favorite constellation, the Pleiades." he said, guiding her up the stairs towards her own room.
