Another "vampire" in town...

[adamah]

Getting a little ahead of yourself, aren't you?

[ A low chuckle escaped him. Johnny shouldn't be finding any of this amusing, he honestly does. ]

There's only one "Cherry" in my life, so don't forget that. He'll get jealous once he sees us.

[ In fact, he's hoping that Cherry gets jealous...]

Comments

[adamah]

...You're too young to have such a sad story.

[ He finally said after taking a long drag on his cig. ]

But you know, I bet he still remembers you.

[galiel]

It might be part of the legacy that was left behind by my... ancestor.

[If you could call it that.]

At times I think it would be better if he doesn't. It... it might have been my fault that all of this has happened to him.

[adamah]

[ A tainted legacy, hm? Johnny didn't like the sound of this already. ]

You're really too young to worry about something as big as this. It's not fair to you.

[ In a not-so rare case of kindness, he leaned over to pat the girl's head gently. ]

But if you have, to remember these words of wisdom: blaming yourself changes nothing.

[galiel]

[It's a long and sad tale... but she would want to bother him with it.]

Not everything in life is sunshine and rainbows.

[That gesture has her surprised and blinking. Galiel looks up at him and listens carefully to his words.]

Thank you for your kindness.

[adamah]

I know.

[ He replied almost sadly. ]

Though, imagine if life was all sunshine and rainbows. The people would be a lot happier.

[ Her polite display of gratitude makes him smile a little. ]

Think nothing of it. I sure hope you'll get to see your boyfriend again.

[/Teasing]

[galiel]

It would be... But then people would take everything for granted.

[Such experiences shaped a person and made them what they are after all.]

... Yes.

[She blushes slightly, not used to such teasing.]

I hope... Ah, I can't exactly wish for your lover to react to your teasing like you planned.

[adamah]

Maybe you're right about that, Galiel. Just maybe.

[ Typically humans have a bad habit of taking nearly everything about life for granted. They take advantage of their friends, family, their spouses...and even themselves. So maybe wishing for paradise isn't the way to go. However, these are more sincere thoughts best left for Rayflo when he's feeling the urge to brood. ]

How cute.

[ He smiles a little once he sees her blushing. ]

You are too adorable for your own good, missy.

[ Johnny chuckles at her. ]

Oh, it will. Just you wait. Cherry always does.

[galiel]

Maybe.

[Ignorance is bliss, but it could be a horrible thing as well. While she tried to be optimistic, she had these moments of doubt too.]

Ah, you think so?

[She doesn't even try to be.]

Okay... Cherry is an unusual name for a man though.

[adamah]

That's not really his name.

[ He answers a second later. ]

It's my own personal nickname for him.

[ A name that no one else had the right to call him by. ]

"Charley."

[ A dry laugh escapes him. ]

He calls himself that nowadays.

[galiel]

I see. If we should ever meet I won't use that name.

[Nicknames are special and she wouldn't want to take that away from Rayflo.]

[adamah]

Good girl.

[ Galiel catches on quick, doesn't she? That honestly won a smile from him. ]

So what you plan to do with that fancy gun?

[galiel]

[Catching on quickly is something she got from her "father".

That and she too had a thing with nicknames for those dear to her. Despite that they sounded really silly.

When he asked her about her gun though, her expression saddened. It had more than one purpose...]

To defend people and myself.

[adamah]

So the little princess is also a knight, hm?

[ His fondness for this strange girl is growing. ]

You and I have something in common.

[galiel]

I just do what I think is right.

[Being considered a princess AND knight though... it's a first.]

We do?

[adamah]

Mhm~

[ He hums in a singsong voice. ]

Ever since I was a little boy I always wanted to be a knight, so eventually I did. It was a joy to help others; to be that beacon of hope.

[ Of course he's not going to finish this little tale anytime soon. He doesn't want to. ]

[galiel]

I am glad when I can be of help.

[That behavior feels oddly familiar to her, him not finishing his story. Like someone she used to know... she thinks.]

[adamah]

Doesn't it make you feel good? I'm usually happy help those in need.

[ Johnny paused briefly while he tossed his cig away. ]

Usually. Sometimes people take advantage.

[galiel]

Me too... But as you said, there is always the risk of being taken advantage of.

[Galiel sighs at that.]

That isn't such a good feeling...

/I LOVE YOUR CANON! Been researching a little about your character

[adamah]

It's not supposed to be, but we do what we can.

asdfghjkl WHY THANKS. ;w; /read all of Vassalord to find out more about Rayflo

[galiel]

Doing everything in our power is the least we can do to.

ooc: Most info about her is from novels and web-novels and it's not even all of it. ;u;
