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?" 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eQJqCF8Vc
Senayra ignored his chuckling, the question being a favorite of spectators. "Just the same as you do, I suppose." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBeQyOMzLE
"How would ya know if what I can see is the same as what ya can?" You could hear him smirk in his tone.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoyPu3z4gb
She shrugged coolly in response. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JNVXRnyqD
With a prideful huff, he decided to challenge her answer. "What color is my satchel?" 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWM3Mncs8y
"Gray." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3fKSHJxU6
His chest caved as perplexity glazed his stare. "What about your cardigan?" 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEGKHx6cS4
"Gray." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs5XzaULhq
"What about these gils?" He kicked the bag over letting his coins spill out with a sweet clinking sound, like the chirping crickets. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yEL6kRqPP
"Shiny gray," she shrugged, turning up to him nonchalantly. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90fNIXdqZU
"What about me?" His tone softened, sounding disheartened. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH0pnWkF99
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." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8YuY3FNnD
"I glow?" 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQD80dLrB
Her smile grew mischievously on her lips, pausing for effect. "Heat vision." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg72AAZJOjY
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." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlhX8B3uvN
"Where's my prize?" she mocked, leaning back against the trunk of an oak. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8knt35AuHh
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?" 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPNov8HkES
"You make it sound like an inconvenience." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwrUn40RaJ
"Ya were an inconvenience at that river." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSWtGqPyjG
"Well, I did get you out of that prison cell to the river." 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgCNGLMgoB
"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. 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9wkh6KPMs
Senayra rolled her eyes again, a smile uncontrollably growing across her face. "Stop calling me that. Please!" 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDtkpRuQR9
"Then what should I call ya? Senayra?" He chuckled again, as if the name was poison to his tongue.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTtjGCr0wT
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXsOPZ6AIl
"And I my own. Yet I've never heard it slither past your lips. Not once!" He snorted from his nose.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa6Qmiw8cK
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."
