While The Wind Blows Wherever It Goes

"You have no plans of keeping me up all night till dawn?" Rose asked.

It was such an innocent question and yet it made my head spin. 

"Do you want me to stay with you until the break of dawn?" I tilted my head. "I presumed that you would still find my presence off-putting despite our current arrangements and yet you'd consider spending countless hours with me."

Rose quickly averted her gaze and huffed. 

"Don't get the wrong idea! It's only to fulfill my own goals! I want to become stronger… and when I do–"

"You'll defeat me and end my life?" I joked.

Rose stayed quiet for a moment before she slowly shook her head.

"How could I do such a thing to someone who would have helped me? I am not such an ungrateful person that I would bite the hand that fed me."

"Mmmm… that does make sense." I nod. 

And yet I couldn't help but feel as if she wasn't talking about me.
