Bonsi blinked a few times as she stared at Nectar, " What did you say "? Nectar cleared her throat, " Don't take it the wrong way, but I knew there was a reason I liked you ". Bonsi tilted her head to the side [ Sounds familiar ]
And smiled with recognition as she pointed at her enthusiastically, " You're that little boy "! She looked her up and down with a smile, " Well, I guess I should say girl ". Nectar coughed lightly, looking away " I have no idea what you're talking about ".
Bonsi nodded, trying to poke Nectar's cheek, " Yes you do. Your the little tramp that always bothering our parents meetings ". Nectar shook her head, avoiding the finger coming towards her, " I don't seem to recall such " [ Who you calling a tramp? ] Bonsi smiled, " I'll remind you ".
" Actso, Verflog and Sepafi were trying to make a trade deal. Our parents liked to take Axis and I whenever they went on trips like that. They said it was to give us an idea of royalty...you get the gist ".
" Just like us, Nova would also be present to entertain us. Axis and I weren't that close yet so I was glad for the company. We were in this gazebo, very beautiful view by the way. Then we heard a lot of crashing, it was total chaos actually ".
" You were dressed in black, you looked like one of those ancient warriors all about stealth. In fact, you jumped on our table to get into the pond ". Nectar raised an eyebrow, " Then how did you conclude it was me "?
Bonsi smiled, pointing one finger up as if to emphasize on her point, " You said the exact same thing when I stopped Axis from telling the guards were you were ". Nectar clicked her tongue, " He was such a tattle tale. Ruling is perfect for him ".
Bonsi laughed, " And you were such a daredevil trouble maker ". Nectar wiggled her brows slightly, " We could cause a little trouble ". Bonsi eyes gleamed with joy then she quickly shook her head, " No, we're mature representatives of our countries now. Causing trouble is not done ".
Nectar nodded, smiling mischievously " Then how about some age appropriate, fit for royalty kind of trouble "? Bonsi opened one eye and peeked at Nectar, " Well, when you put it like that....I'll consider it ".
Nectar nodded seriously, " Whenever your ready ". Nectar suddenly jumped, " Oh! Before I forget..." and brought out a peach coloured mana stone from her saddle pouch and held it out to her.
".... Archie will talk my head off if I don't make you one. Now tell me what it is you want ". Bonsi blinked, in a daze again " You don't have to do that ". Nectar nodded, " You're right, I want to ".
Bonsi bit her lip lightly, her usual aloof composure gone as she spoke excitedly, " Anything I want, right "? Nectar nodded, already encasing the fist sized gem in water, " Anything at all "?
Bonsi decided she wanted one, shaped like a lotus. Nectar scratched her chin, " It's been a while since I saw one. it might not be perfect ". Bonsi pouted slightly and Nectar sighed, " I'm sorry, there's not much I can do about it ".
Bonsi's finger went down slightly, " Ow ". Nectar scratched her head lightly, " And I don't think it'll be possible to get a lotus in this winter ". Bonsi perked up again, " Then I'll just make one ".
Nectar felt her eyes grow wide as she watched Bonsi make the lotus. Her hands that were together in a tight circle glowed a soft green and she slowly opened her hands. Nectar nearly fell off her horse when she saw a pink petal fall out of her hands as she slowly moved them apart.
Just as quickly, she made an ice staff to support her weight, " Amazing "! Bonsi laughed as she held out her hands which now hand a pink lotus in fool bloom, " I'm a little rusty but it doesn't seem half bad ".
Nectar was gawking over the flower and took a long whiff of it, " It's real "!? Bonsi nodded, proud of what she'd made " No wonder Archie likes you, you know how to feed a person's ego ". Nectar smiled, scratching her head " I'm sorry, a forced habit ".
Axis looked back and saw the two laughing and held the reins of his horse tighter [ What could they possibly be talking about? ] Realizing what he'd thought, he felt confused" Why do I even care anyways "?
