55 Her Name is Lexa (1/2)
”Ah, Little Fang really talked!” Andria cheered happily.
”Yup!” The little kitten excitedly nodded. ”And now I can say, you are definitely not calling me Little Fang!”
”Wah, why?!” Andira cried out. ”But its such a cute name!”
”Haha, remember lil sis, you can't force your opinions on other people.” Jonathan lovingly petted Andria's golden hair.
”O-okay, but can I come up with another one?...” Andria asked expectantly, looking at the kitten and Jonathan with puppy dog eyes.
”F-fine.” The little kitten found herself unable to refuse her.
”Then... What can Andria call you?...” Andria asked herself, her index finger resting on her chin as she tilts her little head. ”Ah, how about Lexa!”
”Lexa?” Alexander's eyes widened in realization before a smile graced his lips. ”It would seem you think rather highly of her, haha.”
”Named after the Shooting Star Paragon Magician?” Jonathan also seemed to recognize the significance of this name.
”Whose the Shooting Star Para-migigy.” The kitten asked in confusion.
”She was a very powerful Magician who was on the bound of reaching divinity, but famously vanished before accomplishing as such. There are many rumors about her whereabouts, most of which speculates her to be dead. But whatever the case is, she was known as one of the strongest female magician's in the Higher Realms and was famous for mercilessly beating up anyone who tried to court her.” Jonathan helpfully explained.
The kitten's eyes widened in awe. ”Feisty... I like it!”
”Of course that's the part that attracts you.” Jonathan rolls his eyes.
”Mummy tells me stories of the Shooting Star Paragon a lot, Andria really loves those stories!” Andria explains, her admiration for this Lexa figure palpable.
”Now that you can talk, do you think you can explain your origins now?” Alexander cuts in, a serious smile gracing his cold features. ”I'm sorry if I seem too straight forward, but if a person is to be intimate with my family, I would like to know as much about them as possible.”
The little kitten, now embracing the name of Lexa, gulps when she is faced with the suddenly serious and cold atmosphere. 'What a frightening papa!'
Lexa is silent for several moments, her greenish-red eyes looking into Alexander's, a pondering expression in them. How truthful should she be. How much can she trust them. All of these thoughts and more were swirling in her little head.
'Haha, what am I doing... Here I was all happy to be named after a famously feisty woman but now I'm thinking of being dishonest to the only people who have shown me warmth in this small life...' Lexa took a long look at Andria in particular as her mind worked. Looking into those excited and expectant violet eyes of hers that held abundant innocence, she could only let out a helpless sigh. 'I guess... I have already chosen my path.'
Lexa's clouded eyes turned confident and she looked back into Alexander's eyes as she spoke. ”I am willing to tell you all I know!”
Alexander only nodded, he already felt himself trusting those honest eyes of the kitten in front of him and felt she would only tell the truth. Jonathan, who already held a strong trust in this month long companion, simply smiled.
Andria just looked on admiringly. She was still enraptured by the fact that the kitten in front of her could talk...
Lexa ignored their various expressions and began to work out how she could explain everything, she felt it was herculean task. Instead of worrying about if she could trust them, she was now wondering if they would be able to believe her, considering how bizarre and unbelievable her origins have turned out to be.
”I guess I should first explain... That I'm not originally from this world...” Lexa started off hesitantly.
Alexander's eyes widened before they narrowed in contemplation. ”You mean... You came from outside Heavenly Claw World or...”
