The Ancient Spirits

Marana nodded briefly. "Then... I guess it's best for me not to make you hate me." she said with a forced smile. She straightened up out of the stance she had been in. "It'll be quite hard though, no one has ever really liked me much."

 

[YellowJedi]

"And why would that be?" Cyph asked.

 

[nokotchi]

"I'm not exactly the kindest person on the planet." Marana told him with a shrug.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Same could be said about me. But I don't really care, I'm just misunderstood." Cyph said, shrugging a little like she did.

 

[nokotchi]

"Well, apparently from what others have told me, I'm just coldhearted." Marana told him, looking at the ground.

 

[YellowJedi]

Cyph nodded. "Don't worry, I get that a lot too."

 

[nokotchi]

Marana sighed and stayed silent, still looking at the ground.

 

[YellowJedi]

"So...what's your name?" Cyph asked.

 

[nokotchi]

Marana flicked her gaze up. "Marana... What's yours?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"I'm Cypher, but just call me Cyph." Cyph said, making eye contact again.

 

[nokotchi]

"Alright," she said, searching Cyph's eyes.

 

[YellowJedi]

Cyph stayed quiet and broke the eye contact, looking down.

 

[nokotchi]

Marana sighed once more. She continued to look at Cyph, her eyes still locked into somewhat of a cold glare.

 

[YellowJedi]

"So...Marana..." Cyph didn't really know what to say, he had never really had a long conversation.

 

[nokotchi]

Well, this conversation is somewhat awkward... xD

"So... Cyph..." Marana mimicked, also unsure of what to say. She rocked back and forth on her feet lazily.

 

[YellowJedi]

Yeah xD

"What are you doing in the forest?" Cyph asked, although he knew it was something stupid to ask.

 

[nokotchi]

"I just feel safe here I guess...." Marana told him quietly.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Fair enough, I guess this place can be pretty calming." Cyph said.

 

[nokotchi]

Marana nodded. "Yeah... So, what are you doing here?" she asked with a tilt of her head.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Just walking around. Like I said,t his place can be calming."
