Jair shrugged. "Mm. Thank you." He said softly. He smiled lightly. "Well, I've just done my job."
Jair shrugged. "Mm. Thank you." He said softly. He smiled lightly. "Well, I've just done my job."
She shook her head, making her hair block her face. "Jair, you really have no idea how much you've done."
Jair raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What have I done? Am I in trouble?" He asked with a small smile.
"Yes." She spoke with a normal voice, but behind the wall of her hair, she was suppressing hysterical laughter.
"What? What am I in trouble for?" He asked, suppressing a smile.
She turned to him and grinned, her voice starting to show that she was trying not to laugh. "Remember that time you accidentally spilled water on me?"
Jair nodded. "Yeah, why?" He asked, smiling.
"Capital offense!" She burst into giggles. She was fully aware of how childish she seemed, but she didn't care. Considering she wasn't allowed to have a childhood, she thought that this would be fine.
He laughed. "Oh, no! Are you going to chop off my head? Or…throw me to the sharks?" He grinned.
"Worse," she laughed. "I'm going to make you spend the night with that old governor!"
"Ohhh!" He collapsed backwards onto the bed. "You wouldn't do that to an injured man!" He protested, laughing.
"Oh, but I would! How dare you disagree with me!" she mocked what the governor said. "Off to the dungeons with you!"
Jair groaned, and twitched his body. "Can't walk." He replied, peeking over at her, smiling.
Kana smiled, her laughter subsiding. "A shame, really."
Jair shrugged. "Mhm." He agreed.
A wave of regret slapped her upside the head. She wished she could do something for Jair, but what? She sighed.
"If you had three wishes that would come true, what would you wish for?"
He raised an eyebrow. "Personal question." He remarked, sitting up. "Uhm…are there any limitations?"
"You can't wish for more wishes."
He nodded. "I would wish for the power of teleportation. I would wish my mother lived closer, and…" He hesitated. I would wish for you to like me as…more than a friend? He shook his head slightly. Where had that thought come from? He shrugged. "I don't know."
"Aw, nothing else?" She grinned. "You wouldn't wish to be the King of this kingdom?" She asked, half-teasing, half-serious
"Well, what would you be if i were king?" He replied, raising his eyebrows with a smile.
"Y-your bride," a slight color rose to her cheeks, but she still smiled.
Jair opened his mouth, staring at her. What do I say?? He thought desperately. "Uhm…" He shrugged slightly. "But you wouldn't want to marry a nobody from another country. There's a bunch of far more capable people who would be a better king than me." He pointed out. Logic. Cold logic. That was the best route. If he tried to use the emotions her words had created…oh, he'd be in trouble.
She scoffed, "Please. You've seen the people who have proposed to me. You know how they treated me." she sighed. "Besides, I…" she trailed off before she would get herself hurt. He probably likes someone else.
Jair nodded. "Mm. That's true. But do you know the gossip that would happen from you marrying someone like me?" He shook his head. "Your court would probably say nasty things. Like saying they were probably already sleeping with each other, or so THAT'S why they were always together. And worse. I wouldn't want to hurt your reputation among your court."
