Sorry for not posting for an entire week I am currently moving from my home and as you can imagine my internet didn't come along with me,I only now called the internet service thingy and connected everything so stay tuned everyone !

============================================================

-ugh...why am I feeling so giddy right now ?

I sighed lightly complaining to myself as I laid down onto the soft surface of my bed,feeling a lot of my exhaustion starting to take over,my muscles loosing up for a bit,but my inner excitement for some reason was still pounding endlessly not letting me shut my eyes and sleep.

There was a very gentle atmosphere inside this room even though the window was shut,I could still feel a pint of air breezing through letting me breath inside this soothing and silent darkness,my eyes failed to keep shut and finally I decided to open them wide instead staring up towards the wooden ceiling as I thought about the previous events that happened so far.

After getting everything straight with scar and calming her down properly we quickly decided to find a proper inn to rest until next morning,luckily after walking for half hour or so we finally got to a very good inn not too far off.

Scar knew of the inn herself and was actually the one who suggested to come here I didn't ask her how she knew of this place,but judging from her familiarity,I suspected that she visited this place before with her father when they would come together,I also half expected the staff inside of here to recognize scar,but as it turns out no one seems to remember nor recognize her since it had been more then a few years now since the whole event with her father and his famed treacherous,scar also had grown a lot since then.

Matured with her appearance as a proper woman,but just to be safe instead of using her real name in the reception list "scarlet" she wrote in her nickname "Scar" for safety.

The over all the interior and exterior of the inn we stayed can be described as pretty extravagant,obviously much more neater and cleaner then the previous places we stayed in with the personal always available for 24/7 and pretty polite too easy to spot since they all wear official uniforms for this establishment.

The food is also very delicious coming with a lot of side dishes and appetizers that made it enjoyable scar herself enjoyed it a lot stuffing herself full,the drinks were numerous too most of which were alcoholic drinks like wine,beer,rum,whisky and so on.

I didn't particular like to drink any of the alcoholic drinks not that I ever tasted it before or had a particular preference ,it was just that I rather like my rational judgment to stay how it is being a chemist I knew very well of how drugs worked since I used to develop and create them myself,alcohol being mainly a light and almost harmless drug that impairs proper way of thinking which is why I mostly ordered fruit juice or water scar also preferred to stay herself and only drank water.

The inn even had a bathing services not a place you could actually visit and bath,but rather something that you order to your room where one of the staff members carries a tub to your room with hot water and soap,I momentarily thought of taking a hot bath to relax some more,but I quickly decided against it as I didn't feel comfortable bathing in my own room,I also didn't particular need to do so since I was always clean through my powers by rewinding the dirt on my clothes and skin,it is not much of an excuse really since nothing can beat a proper hot bath at least I myself felt that way most likely because I got a bit too addicted to staying clean all the time with the luxuries I got back home.

-Hahh...

I sighed again,in any case right now I felt a bit conflicted with myself,while coming here scar and I hadn't the most eventful conversation ever which was mostly silence followed by the rare few directions she led us towards,the silence was mostly because of scar who was making it a bit too awkward with her red beat face and fidgety manner which I normally wouldn't mind,but after a few seconds later my mind couldn't help,but think about hestia the whole time the reason for that is is also because of scar,her very small resemblance towards hestia threw me off very well and made me question whether or not I felt something towards scar...if I was just trying to make her a substitute of some sort to replace hestia.

I deeply despised that idea and also rejected it throughly,finally being honest to myself I understood why I felt that stinging feeling inside my heart when I hugged scar,it was because I felt guilty or rather because I thought that hugging in such a intimate way was wrong to me.

I already had hestia and if I really compare these two people to one another I already knew that they were completely different and that I also wouldn't betray hestia for someone else which is why it hurt when I hugged scar,I felt that I was betraying hestia's trust just because she wasn't here and in a way I was pretty pathetic too.

I only considered this kind of thought after todays incident with the hug and the emotional words she spoke to me,and thinking back there were already a lot more other similar incidents like today that happened between me and scar.

At the time I didn't really think about what I said or where I would touch on,my only ever thought was to help scar to get some closure with herself so she wouldn't blame herself for her father deaths as it obviously wasn't her fault at all,to finally understand her and get to know her as a friend.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Very innocent really.

The words she told me when she said that she would be scared if I ever disappear without her still resounded throughout my head,it may as well have been a love confession or I could have been simply been misreading everything too,thinking too highly of myself,she was after all a 25 year old mature woman,while I was a 15 year old teenage boy our age gap was 10 years apart just too big to really consider one another as romantic partners no matter how long we stayed together,she may as well be just looking at me as a younger brother to fill the gap in her heart it could be right ?

I face palmed.

Says,the guy who dates a phoenix woman that is thousand years old or even more....

I sighed again,I really didn't want to think about this anymore and just continue acting like I always did,if hestia was here I was sure that I wouldn't even feel troubled about anything at all,but at the current state it was just a mess.

I thought thinking that it couldn't really get worse anymore,but as if someone was answering my call suddenly a knock could be heard from the other end of my door.

(Knock Knock)

The knocking sound was light almost hesitant really,I doubt that I would have heard the knocking sound without my enhanced hearing and soon enough that knock was followed by a voice a very familiar gentle voice at that.

-Dawn...are you still awake ? Can I come in ?

My heart immediately tightened up as I listened closely to the voice,I wasn't an idiot a bit tired maybe,but not completely out of my mind as I immediately identified the voice to be scar's...

What was she doing here ? Doesn't she have her own room ? Does she want to talk or something ?

I wondered,but in either case I felt a bit sick to constantly avoid this issue if it ever was the time it was now or never if not then I can't possibly get a good nights rest..

Thinking like this I immediately jumped off the bed,I had still my entire set of clothing on my body even though I was getting ready to sleep I didn't feel comfortable to strip myself in some unknown place even if it was a inn that I booked myself also you never know what would happen if you aren't ready by now I was constantly on guard when I am alone even though I didn't expect scar to suddenly come by I already knew that someone was walking in the corridor,there was also the matter with the knights that sort of unsettled me and kept me from sleeping for now,but with scar's visit it didn't even matter anymore.

I may as well stay up all night.

I thought,gripping the door knob with one hand while also simultaneously unlocking the door in front of me,even though I couldn't see it I could still hear scar fidgeting on the other end of the door,I was really not sure what to expect,so without a pause I opened the door in one swift motion staring directly towards scar.

-Ehh

I exclaimed shortly,my eyes temporarily turning wide as I looked at scar quickly realizing that she had changed somehow and I am not saying that she became different what I am trying to say is that...her clothing...it changed...

-Oh...you surprised me I thought you were sleeping...

Scar said half shy and half relieved as she held onto her white pillow which she brought from her own room covering her bosom with it and also burying half of her face into it,in a shy and embarrassed manner,her cheeks were dyed a very deep red color,she probably thought that I wouldn't be able to see anything since it was pitch dark in here so I wouldn't notice her blushing,she would have been right if it wasn't for me having night vision,but currently that really didn't matter what mattered was the rest of scar's appearance more precisely her clothing.

-Why....why are you wearing a gown...no,rather I should ask where did you get that gown to begin with ?

I quickly came to the point,staring unblinkingly towards scar's exposed skin from her shoulders to her thighs her skin looked soft and smooth like jade without any single impurities or dirt both beautiful and seductive and this wasn't the only thing as there was a very fragrant smell in the air it smelled of lavender fact coming from scar's hair that was also partially wet making me think that she must have taken the bathing service...

-I...I didn't have anything to wear other then this,my other clothing is drying...

She explained,quickly burying her face even more into her pillow as she lightly groaned into it while talking to me,almost dying from her embarrassment as her feet started shaking while her hands tightly gripping onto her pillow in a suffocation manner,I felt a distinctive dangerous vibe from all of this and didn't know what to say really.

Finally after quickly getting my composure back,I glanced down towards scar's feet again,she was shaking I didn't know if it was just because of sheer nervousness or because she was simply cold,but in either case it just didn't matter anymore.

-Come in you'll get cold if you stand there forever...

I suggested shaking my head in a helpless manner as scar simply nodded towards me not saying a word as she stepped into my room with me finally closing off the door behind us.

(Shut)
