Nathan's Symphony [Pt 1]

 " We'll meet tomorrow then. I'll have my answer then." Talia said.

 [Back at Talia's Place]

 Nathan sat on a chair, a large table was in front of him and he was in a room that passed for a dining room.

 He was flicking the table with his fingers in boredom when Talia's mum Mia walked in.

 He halted and had a look of discomfort.

 " And who are you to Talia?" She asked and took a seat, she pushed forward her face towards him making him even more uncomfortable.

 " Let's say I'm a temporary partner." He said with a wry smile.

 " Ohhh, as adventurers or travelers?"

 " Hmmm....both."

 " Well ok, do well to watch over her, I won't forgive you if she dies in your watch."

 " Hmmn... Yes!" He said in a pitched tone.

 " Alright, I'll be depending on you." She returned a broad smile.

 ' I know Talia told me to stay put but I feel like I'll die here if I stay any longer'
