Relaxing

She just let herself fall. "Yay!"

"You know...I think you've actually started to grow on me Maynin. I feel...ummm...what's that word that people use when they feel good? Ummm....it's not maim..."

She crawled out of the hole. "Oh, that cancels out lacerate then?"

"No...whn someone feels good they are...."

"Happy?" Confusing confusion.

"Yes!!! Happy. I feel happy right now."

She looked kinda creeped out. "Ummmm, okay..."

"Jeeze. Way to ruin the moment." He sighed and twirled a dagger in his fingers. "I was being nice and kind for once."

"That's what scared me, sorry."

"Me being a normal person is scary to you?"

".......yes...."

Riza actually looked a little hurt. "Oh....." He silently laid back into the hammock.

Maynin walked over and tangled up the hammock. "Not your fault. And don't you get all sad! That scares me too!"

Riza looked at her. "Believe it or not I get tired. One can only keep up a unveiled persona of happiness and rage for so long." He sighed an his golden eyes faded to an icy blue

She spun the hammock. "I wouldn't go to sleep in you're own mind. You'd trap us and yourself. Like going into a coma with all of us in it."

"I meant emotionally tired idiot. I don't require sleep. I do it as a habit. The same reason why I still breathe an eat food. I don't need it, it just ones naturally."

She pretended to be hurt too. It was very convincing. "You know, I used to never care about being called idiot. But you made it hurt." She turned and kicked the ground a bit. "It hurt."

"Bullshit." He said, calling her bluff. "My opinion matters to very few people. And when it does it is usually about combat of some sort."

"Yeah." She pushed him. "So tell me, how did I grow on you? I want to never make that decision again."

He rolled his eyes. "For one you put up with my psychotic urges and don't really try to change me and say its wrong."

"That can't be helped. And?"

"......your nice to me......" He said quietly. Lilith was actually a little creeped out as well. Riza looked...vulnerable. He was slightly curled up in the hammock andlooked down at the grous

Maynin didn't know how to react to that. She was silent for a long time. "I sorta get you. I can tell you've been through your own personal hell. But I'm not who I act."

Riza looked over at her. "Hmmmm?"

"Nothing. Nothing important." She said with a forced smile.
