17 Camille, not so Elfic (1/2)
”D. B., can you get some food? Since you can speak Ojami,” Gold said as he tossed him a small amount of coins, ”Get something like meat and maybe some rice, something easy.”
”Yes, my lord, I will do so,” He bowed his head, ”Should I get a lot?”
”I guess, Miia is probably going to be hungry and I am pretty hungry.”
”Very well, my lord.”
Gold sat staring out towards the horizon. He sighed and then turned his head to the side when he felt Miia's clawed hand touch his shoulder. She pushed him onto his back and pressed herself against him. ”M-Miia,” She moved her hand under his mask and pulled it off and gazed into his eyes. She smiled and hugged him tightly. Gold looked down at her in surprise, ”Are you o-okay?” She released him and he noticed her red cheeks, ”M-Miia, can you get off of me?” She ignored him and pressed her lips against his. He pushed back against her and she smiled, ”Miia! What was that? I didn't allow you too! You could have at least warned me!”
”Punish me if you want, master,” She made a sad puppy face, ”Did you like it, master?”
”No, not at all,” She looked down and looked sadly at the ground, ”You have to warn me before you do that, and I thought I was you master, would you really want to upset your love? Would you really want to upset me?” She strained up surprise as he sat up, ”Miia?”
”I am sorry, master!” She was on the edge of tears, ”I didn't want to upset you! I am sorry, I am sorry, I am-,” Gold pulled her towards him and kissed her. Her face went red and she had wide eyes. He pulled away from her and she stayed there, frozen. He laughed and felt the ground tremble. Daryu Boros placed a large bag of food in front of Gold. Gold opened it and pulled out some food and began cooking. Daryu Boros sat down and tossed him the bag of coins. Gold smiled at him and put the bag on his belt. Miia returned to reality and crawled back to the flat stone she was on. She lied down and quickly fell asleep.
”My lord, what was that armor from yesterday?”
”You really want to know how I blocked your attack, huh?”
”Yes, my lord, I have never seen anyone who could shrug off that type of attack,” He said as he summoned his axe, ”Could you show me that again? I want to see if I can break that defense.”
”Ha, have you ever heard of super tier magic?”
”No, never,” Daryu Boros answered, ”I don't do magic, my lord.”
”Well, then I don't need to explain it to you then,” He said as he continued cooking, ”Miia, there is some food, come eat,” She lifted her head and yawned, ”Come girl, I made some food, come on, sit down next to me,” She crawled over and leaned against him, ”Here, I hope you like it,” She began eating and seemed to like it. Gold laughed and began eating as well, ”You want some D. B.?”
”No thank you, my lord, I don't eat, I use the sun and water to get energy,” He explained, ”I am built to be able to fight more and rest less.”
”I know that, just asking if you ever want to try.”
”No thank you, my lord,” He bowed his head and Gold noticed someone walking down the path to the beach. It was Catherine.
”Hey Catherine,” He said as she walked towards them, ”How are you doing?”
”I am good,” She yawned and sat down next to them, ”How are you?”
”Fine, you want some?” He said pointing at the food. She nodded and he past her a bowl. Miia tapped his arm and glared at him, ”What did you come here for?”
”I wanted to, um, talk, to, you,” She stammered, ”We, um, talked about this.”
”Oh, yeah, you want to talk here? Or somewhere else?”
”Somewhere else, please,” She said as Gold got up and Miia wanted to follow him, ”Alone please,” Gold looked down at Miia and shrugged, she sighed and got back to eating.
Gold followed Catherine down the beach. They walked silently until Catherine stopped and looked back at the camp, ”Good, no one followed us.”
”Why?”
”I wanted to, um, well, how do I say this?” She said nervously moving her foot in the sand, ”I, um, lied, well, yeah, I lied to, you, um, earlier.”
”How so?” Gold lifted his eyebrow, ”I didn't notice that you lied.”
”You know, um, about Camille, well, um, how do I say this? Are you her master?” She said tilting her head. Gold nodded, ”Y-you are,” She looked down at the ground holding her hands behind her as she nervously kicked at the sand. Gold moved his hand under her chin and lifted her head to look him in the eyes.
”Who are you?”
”Don't touch me like that!” She swatted his hand, ”Get your human hands off of me! I don't like humans!”
