❖││SAORI-SAN││❖​:

               ❝ I see. ❞ Saori remained silent for a while. There was a time when her grandfather, Kido Mitsumasa, used to tell her about his trips when he was still alive; especially when he traveled to Greece. The old man used to travel a lot when Saori was a baby and a little girl. She was never allowed to leave the mansion by herself; Saori only traveled a few times, though she always did the course of going to school and back home until she completed 16 years old and now, the girl just stays in the Sanctuary at Greece. Leaving it only when it’s really necessary and going to her mansion in Japan or any other place where the Kido family has a house, always with some company. ❝ You really should go with the others next time they decide to go out. ❞ Sometimes some fresh air is good for a saint.

                                                         The sound in the air was LIGHT & could be described as a F O R E I G N to most people. It was laughter. It was tiny & sudden, like a chuckle but, that’s what it was. The ODDITY of it all was that it came from the usual monotone & one note dragon saint. ❛ Ah, ❜ He breathed out, his features lightening at the notion. ❛ You know, Seiya said something along the same lines. ❜

                                                       Shiryu turned up his head in some thought, thinking back to the conversation & raising a finger to LINGER on the side of his cheek. ❛ Although, ❜ he continued, ❛ he made it seem as though he’ll come back one day & find me DEHYDRATED & DEAD in a corner somewhere with a book in hand—-some choice words like that. ❜ The saint shook his head with a shrug. Something DRAMATIC & IDIOTIC. ❜ & yet, he found it ENDEARING. Ah, Seiya. Never change.

               ❝ I see. ❞ There is a pause; if Seiya is nowhere to be found at that moment, there is nothing she could do unless waiting for his return then. ❝ Well, I can’t really tell what he should and should not do. Please do tell him that I need to see him when he returns. ❞ Saori always gets a little anxious when Seiya leaves the mansion or even the sanctuary. ❝ What about you, Shiryu—- do you like to explore ? ❞

                                                     ❛ Not particularly. ❜ He responded flatly, almost a bit too FLAT as if to show he was DISINTERESTED in the conversation. Shiryu, astute when it came to himself (when he wanted to be), he collected himself & tried again. ❛ I don’t usually stray too far from what I am doing, even with the DOWNTIME we’ve managed to salvage. ❜ PEACE WAS TRULY A FOREIGN THING TO A SAINT. ❛ Maybe, if I feel pent up I will venture out; I might even TAG ALONG with the others when they go out to the city but, other than that, I am quite CONTENT being in one place. ❜
