277 ※ The Dragon Hunter [I]

We left the manor like we were kids running away from master Thorin after we did something mischievious. It was refreshing, nostalgic even, it made me think back to the time we were two actual kids, when I did had such responsabilities weighting me down. As soon as we got to the carriage, I made him come inside with me as another Knight drove under my orders to take us to White Rose Boutique downtown.

"Ash, set a barrier around us," I told him as I finally sat Chaos down next to me.

{"Never run like that holding me, I felt like a thing, being dragged around like a doll, it was nauseating. I think I got motion sickness, ugh,"} he complained, as usual.

Rolling my eyes unimpressed, I watched Ash do what I told him.

"What's the plan?" He leaned closer, arms on his knees.

{"Just tell the kid already,"} Chaos scoffed.

"I have something... some things to tell you."

He frowned softly, "Then tell me, no need to be weird about it, it's me."
