Chapter 64 - Village Leader (2/2)
Atticus who saw something first hand how that no normal person could do told Titus to go play in his room.
Theoric waited until he heard the ball bouncing in the other room- ”Well Mr. Atticus, this turned out differently then I expected, I'll repeat myself, don't go spreading what you've seen, please find time to explain that to the boy in a way that he understands.”
Atticus full of respect now vigorously agreed- ”Yes, yes sir, I will do as you say, you have nothing to worry about, I'll make sure the boy understands.”
Theoric- ”Now for why we first came, I wanted to get a feel for what kind of person you were after hearing how everyone respected you and was hoping that you would take over as leader of this village after I remove the scourge that plagues it.”
Atticus furrowed his brows,- ”I don't have a problem doing this, after all, you did heal my boy and I don't particularly have anything against it, but what exactly are you planning?”
Theoric glad to see Atticus could still think for himself after realizing they might be chosen of the gods replied,- ”There is no major plan, just that we decided to settle here and don't wish for any unsavory people to also be nearby.”
Atticus- ”Alright then, how exactly do you plan on dealing with Caelus's organization?”
Theoric- ”This you don't have to worry about, just stay safely here with your boy until you hear the good news.”
Sometime later they left the home with Sigyn remaining dramatically quiet.
Theoric snickered to himself seeing Sigyn look all nervous as she walked by his side staring as hard as she could forward. He extended his finger and poke her cheek causing her to jump.
Sigyn seeing Theoric enjoying her torment pouted with puffed up cheeks,- ”You're bullying me!”
Theoric laughed- ”Haha, Sigyn why do you look so nervous.”
Sigyn sadly looked down, softly saying- ”Because I went against your wishes and thought you might be angry.”
Theoric - ”I didn't even know you can do that.” Thinking back to her change in the forest, planning on investigating it in the near future to see if she had any more surprises in store for him.
Sigyn still looking down- ”I just didn't want the boy to suffer, and then it just happened.”
Theoric hugged her while chuckling- ”Anyone ever tell you, you can be really silly sometimes, I could never be mad at my Sigyn.”
Sigyn looked up- ”Really?”
Theoric pecked her lips- ”Really!”
Sigyn giggled happily as they walked away holding hands.
Only to give him a strong pinch a little later with her other hand, catching him off-guard causing him to let out an involuntary yelp. ”That's for letting that poor boy suffer longer than necessary,” dropping his hand with a ”humph.” and walking away.
Leaving Theoric standing there in shock,- ”Did she just play me? Hey Sigyn, wait up, where are you even going by yourself?” he quickly chased her with a grin on his face, enjoying this new playful side, though he could do without the pinching, but he didn't fault her because he did deserve it.
