Lovesick

"I'm so lonely." Austin lamented as he tossed knifes at the wall opposite him.

"I have noticed that Master Cannon feels lovesick when he is tired." Sally pulled out the knives from the wall. "Perhaps you need a break."

"What I need is to see her." He threw another knife at Sally.

She slammed it to the floor and picked it up. "This is the tenth time you have tried to kill me today."

"I can't try to kill you besides, you won't give me a chance." He looked out of his study window. "Would it be possible to make a pillow of Alora?"

"Hardly." Sally poured tea into a cup and dropped it on his desk. "Or would you prefer coffee?"

"No, this would do." He picked up the cup and drank the whole thing in one go. "It's been three days since I last saw her and it feels like forever. I'll die if I don't see her."

"It has only been a day and you won't die." She wiped the tea that was spilled on the table and flung a cushion at him. "You finally made up with her."

"I did but I can't help but feel like I don't deserve someone like her." He covered his face with a cushion that was thrown at him. "She's too pure for me."

"Hmmm." Sally straightened her apron. "If Master Cannon wouldn't mind, I would like to know a bit about this girl whom you have come to love."

"She is kind, funny, caring, sweet and so adorable." Austin blushed. "She's the best. She's quiet and observant. She's understanding, smart and honest. In some cases."

"What exactly do you like about her?" Sally pressed on. "I would like to know if she is a good person."

"She looks out for others, including me. She doesn't judge and she is humble. That's exactly what I like about her." He beamed.

"Those are very soft and feminine characters for a woman to posses." She nodded approvingly.

"But she is strong headed, resilient, quick at making decisions and clear intention. She is like a double sided blade. I mostly admire these characters."

"Then, she is like you." Sally concluded.

"Don't compare us." Austin tightly gripped his cup. "She is nothing like me."

"If you say so." Sally picked up the tray and exited the room.
