Their conversation was then swallowed up by the twinkling night sky, which in turn traded it for a soft moment of peace and serenity. But Del’rod spoke again to change the topic. "So how do ya see with those captivatin’ eyes of yours?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZDvA8TQSl
Senayra ignored his chuckling, the question being a favorite of spectators. "Just the same as you do, I suppose." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lm4xxVODT
"How would ya know if what I can see is the same as what ya can?" You could hear him smirk in his tone.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbv91yqopD
She shrugged coolly in response. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mR1tWuNo1
With a prideful huff, he decided to challenge her answer. "What color is my satchel?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48LzAMH2YO
"Gray." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF27pwN0Z3
His chest caved as perplexity glazed his stare. "What about your cardigan?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVD21OdwBJ
"Gray." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9JRYEoUlC
"What about these gils?" He kicked the bag over letting his coins spill out with a sweet clinking sound, like the chirping crickets. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNEgUPhNbj
"Shiny gray," she shrugged, turning up to him nonchalantly. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqdgukWT1s
"What about me?" His tone softened, sounding disheartened. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IbZEckyhm
She smiled up apologetically, realizing she’s hurt him with her lack of enthusiastic cooperation. "Your hair is the vivid gray of the lapping wheat." He automatically lit up at her answer, his back straightening as his ears perked in her direction. "Your eyes are the lush, full gray of the wily forest, and your skin is the burned gray of the sun. And at night: you glow." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk6TjfO19H
"I glow?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapBGLVxHry
Her smile grew mischievously on her lips, pausing for effect. "Heat vision." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOQzD8NMni
His jaw dropped slightly before it was shut to a stunned smile. "You've impressed me once more. Twice in a single day. That's a record." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN1xhXfQ3z
"Where's my prize?" she mocked, leaning back against the trunk of an oak. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXTy6n6kny
He laughed heartily before setting down the knife, his smile wide, and his irises waltzing in the flame. "Of all the souls that could've winded up in that jail cell with me, how did I end up with ya?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoDtba4onV
"You make it sound like an inconvenience." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQV91vmQGB
"Ya were an inconvenience at that river." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFI8RSbk5H
"Well, I did get you out of that prison cell to the river." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83OyrMSexZ
"And I did spear ya a meal. Are we even now, love?" He threw her a loaded wink before returning to his task at hand. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ymt0engfY
Senayra rolled her eyes again, a smile uncontrollably growing across her face. "Stop calling me that. Please!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcQdoBTn0K
"Then what should I call ya? Senayra?" He chuckled again, as if the name was poison to his tongue.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFWRJ45RBJ
"Yes. Not 'love' or 'animan girl' and especially not 'snake girl!’ I rather like my name." she murmured with as much humility as an Arieon wench.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYLufJXjqV
"And I my own. Yet I've never heard it slither past your lips. Not once!" He snorted from his nose.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmH2TvpMxr
She jerked uncontrollably at the heat in his tone. She had stated his name a million times by now to commit it to her porous memory, but admitting that would only grant her a nights worth of mockery and embarrassment. "Ouch, getting a little touchy aren't we?" she teased instead, poking at the cold earth beneath her palms.
"You make me that way, Hot Lick." He snickered.
"Hey!"
"You never said anything about that name, Hot Lick!"
"Del'rod!"
"Ah there we are! Who knew my name could be spoken in such an adorable tone?" He scrunched his nose at her, that puppy smile in play.
She attempted to mimic his expression without the same results, earning a laugh from the boy. "You really do act your age, did you know?"
"I've been acting this age since my escape from the womb."
