Re: Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 9

Kira giggled, standing up and resisting the urge to blush herself. How could she keep saying such outright things? It didn't matter, at least not until Luke felt better. She had to fix what she'd brought up. "I'll bring the blankets and stuff down, then."

Heidi stalked over towards Joey, Al, and Josh. "Oi, Jojo, where'd Erika run off to? Simon said she wasn't around, or something, and I can barely sense Flow."

[Big Uri]

"Thanks," Luke replied again, reclining slightly and trying to clear his head.

Kira returned a few minutes later, holding her and Luke's blankets, before sitting back down next to him.

[Big Uri]

Luke put his blanket around him, as he liked the feel of a blanket even if he didn't need the heat. It reminded him of home, and safety. Then he put a pillow behind his back, in between it and the tree trunk, relaxing in comfort. When done, he smiled contentedly.

"Thanks again," he said belatedly.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Kira smiled slightly, wrapping her own blanket around her. "It's nothing," she responded, looking up at the sky as she focus on making sure the tree branches were out of the way, watching Luke out of the corner of her eye. Even with the scars and burns, he's good looking... she thought, before her face flushed red and she returned her full attention to the branches.

Jamie looked at Heidi with her arms folded, but didn't say anything to her. Because she was there after all.

[Big Uri]

Luke stayed silent as he looked up at the sky, thinking of the night before and the party. Man, that girl who had said he was handsome must have been really drunk. Heidi's Two-Face joke was actually pretty accurate, he reflected with only a hint of sadness.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi blinked at Jamie. "'Nd who th' hell're you? Jojo's new girlfriend?"

---

"H-Hey, Luke?" Kira stuttered a bit, sounding flustered, as she was still embarrassed about her thoughts.

[Big Uri]

"Yeah?" Luke asked interestedly, turning his head to her.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Jamie Wolfen. Recently arrived here," she said, in a Stonic tone.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"I...um...n-nevermind..." Kira mumbled, blushing again and turning her head away from Luke. She couldn't tell him that, right out of the blue! That was really too forward for her...

---

Heidi made a choking noise. "Wait, you're Zackie's sister?"

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Who?" Jamie asked. She folded her arms and raised a eyebrow.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Zackary? Y'know, kinda scary looking guy, carries around that sword? Used to have two, that was pretty badass... Wolfen ain't that common of a name, you two've gotta be related..." Heidi rambled a bit.

[Big Uri]

"No, really, what were you gonna say?" Luke asked, curiosity piqued.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Yes. I am that son of a bitch's sister." Jamie scowled.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Kira buried her face in her blanket, her voice coming out a bit muffled. "I-I was j-just th-thinking...th-th-that...um...you're r-really..." she paused, her voice coming out rather small. "...h-handsome..."

---

Heidi whistled, shaking her head. "Oh, c'mon, it could be worse. He could be Nathan. Or Jojo."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Have either of them stolen your family's sword and shield?" Jamie questioned her.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Um, no. That would involve me having either of those. But they've both fucked up me and my friends' lives pretty nicely," Heidi shrugged, shooting a glare at Joey.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"I see." Jamie again said with no emotion in her voice.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi shrugged. "I dunno, Zack's a nice guy. Who cares about a sword and shield? Family ain't something a lot of people have nowadays."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"He's fooling you then," Jamie said.

[Big Uri]

"Really?" Luke replied skeptically, thinking that that was ridiculous.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Well, I like him more than you at th' moment," Heidi responded.

---

Kira nodded slightly, mumbling apologies, unsure if she'd done something wrong.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Would you like a medal." Jamie asked even though it wasn't a question.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi paused for a moment. "Yeah, I would actually. They're usually shiny, or made of metal, that could be a good source of entertainment."
