27 #27~ Work for i (1/2)

Lori woke to the jolt of the carriage. She yawned and slowly opened her red drowsy eye's. She then noticed her father and brother starring at her.

Both had a gentle look on their faces. Lori instantly tensed up. First of all...what the hell! Why are these two idiots starring at me for?! Do I have something on my face? Lori quickly touches her face, but feels nothing.

Garren notices Lori's confusion and awkwardness. Garren just smiles and continues to starre in amusement.

Joseph starred at his Father secretly as he starred at Clover. Has he really changed?

Joseph then glanced at his precious little sister. What did she do that would change him so quickly? Not even May and I could stire that much emotion out of him... No matter though. As long as he treats Clover fine, then I will not start a fuss. This time I Will protect Clover at all costs!

[System]: pffft...a little to late for that~

Lori scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. Did you say something Flora?

[System]: Ah! Nothing host!

Lori just shruggs and blocks out Flora from her thoughts again. Lori then looks at Garren.

Lori: are we almost there? I'm quit famished.

Lori then puts on a pouting and tired face. If anyone saw her they would believe her little act. That's how good it is!

Joseph takes the chance to have a conversation with his cute sister.

Jospeh: Dont worry Clover! We should be back any minute now.

Joseph then pulls away the window curtains in the carriage.

Jospeh: look, I can already see our crop fields. Can you see them Clover?

Jospeh takes his happy red eyes away from the window to look back at his sister expectantly eager to hear her voice and answer.

Lori notices how desperate her older brother wants to talk and try to get close with her. Lori does a mental eye roll. Now you want to get close with me? Hmph. Your a little to late for that. But... Lori secretly grins. Why not make him work for it. Hehe

[System]: *shivers*

Lori blankly stares at Joseph. She only replys with:

Lori: En.

Lori then looks away and ignores Joseph. Like hell I will make this easy for you! Until I feel like you worked enough, then I'll  let you have my praise's hehehehe

Joseph notices his little sisters coldness to him. His heart starts to sting with pain.

Figures... I cant expect her to casually like me back...after all I did ignore her for the past twelve years. But that was for her own good. I wanted to protect her. Joseph sighs and lools back out the window with mixed emotions showing on his face.

Garren watched the interaction between his two kids. He felt bad. Clover never had a normal life. She was put away and forgotten by all. A shame to the family I once thought.

Garren glances at Lori. She had her palm resting on her face as she bordely starred at the window as well.

Garren tilted his head in thought. She has two rare elements, and one of them happens to be lightening. Garren smiles at the thought. That rare element runs through her vains. Sarah... If only you could see your daughter now, you would be proud.

Lori watched as Garren goofily grins. She raises her eyebrows at him in question but he just widely grins at her and looks away. Ugh! What is with this man! He must really want a fight! Hmph. That blockhead better keep his promise when we get back. If not... there will be some hell to pay. But seriously though...that bubble bath...*cries in agony*
