Their conversation was then swallowed up by the twinkling night sky, which in turn traded it for a soft moment of peace and serenity. But Del’rod spoke again to change the topic. "So how do ya see with those captivatin’ eyes of yours?" 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnty7iUL4m
Senayra ignored his chuckling, the question being a favorite of spectators. "Just the same as you do, I suppose." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEWJ0JlIge
"How would ya know if what I can see is the same as what ya can?" You could hear him smirk in his tone.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZYHOX3o2F
She shrugged coolly in response. 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rha4is2D4
With a prideful huff, he decided to challenge her answer. "What color is my satchel?" 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9En6Gv4WyW
"Gray." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISpKuAt50i
His chest caved as perplexity glazed his stare. "What about your cardigan?" 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAJXreQLbY
"Gray." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBugNZU3wJg
"What about these gils?" He kicked the bag over letting his coins spill out with a sweet clinking sound, like the chirping crickets. 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL0mZ1nhXi
"Shiny gray," she shrugged, turning up to him nonchalantly. 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYroV7yYqv
"What about me?" His tone softened, sounding disheartened. 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFdQQDmg24
She smiled up apologetically, realizing she’s hurt him with her lack of enthusiastic cooperation. "Your hair is the vivid gray of the lapping wheat." He automatically lit up at her answer, his back straightening as his ears perked in her direction. "Your eyes are the lush, full gray of the wily forest, and your skin is the burned gray of the sun. And at night: you glow." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKVioDzCFk
"I glow?" 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DPopYHpeS
Her smile grew mischievously on her lips, pausing for effect. "Heat vision." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcUx5GSJAJ
His jaw dropped slightly before it was shut to a stunned smile. "You've impressed me once more. Twice in a single day. That's a record." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6NrIeTeKY
"Where's my prize?" she mocked, leaning back against the trunk of an oak. 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFCIIXQlZX
He laughed heartily before setting down the knife, his smile wide, and his irises waltzing in the flame. "Of all the souls that could've winded up in that jail cell with me, how did I end up with ya?" 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHGzajHPXY
"You make it sound like an inconvenience." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS4lLuVp5S
"Ya were an inconvenience at that river." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1x6UMVbwA
"Well, I did get you out of that prison cell to the river." 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZSIOQivDc
"And I did spear ya a meal. Are we even now, love?" He threw her a loaded wink before returning to his task at hand. 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkw2NSP1MG
Senayra rolled her eyes again, a smile uncontrollably growing across her face. "Stop calling me that. Please!" 756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjozGbtZkA
"Then what should I call ya? Senayra?" He chuckled again, as if the name was poison to his tongue.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqdLNNunvP
"Yes. Not 'love' or 'animan girl' and especially not 'snake girl!’ I rather like my name." she murmured with as much humility as an Arieon wench.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WBFE2Wdpt
"And I my own. Yet I've never heard it slither past your lips. Not once!" He snorted from his nose.756Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlln9xwC6O
She jerked uncontrollably at the heat in his tone. She had stated his name a million times by now to commit it to her porous memory, but admitting that would only grant her a nights worth of mockery and embarrassment. "Ouch, getting a little touchy aren't we?" she teased instead, poking at the cold earth beneath her palms.
"You make me that way, Hot Lick." He snickered.
"Hey!"
"You never said anything about that name, Hot Lick!"
"Del'rod!"
"Ah there we are! Who knew my name could be spoken in such an adorable tone?" He scrunched his nose at her, that puppy smile in play.
She attempted to mimic his expression without the same results, earning a laugh from the boy. "You really do act your age, did you know?"
"I've been acting this age since my escape from the womb."
