Kaiden watched as she took out her Duel Blade it wasn't attacking her, it just stood there.. shedding a tear.. and it uttered "We will, never forget you Elisavet" I noticed that the stone was till in Avetty's hand.. "It's not the stone anymore.. It's the game" he pointed to the stone.. "I feel so bad for bringing you hear Avetty.. or Elisavet if that's your name" Kaiden felt bad "I'm such a fool, I didn't expect this to happen" he started walking out of the cave "I'm Renn" he said trailing off "Usually by now.. you'd hate me.. I always mess sh**t up.. I always do something to hurt somone"

He started walking out, but Avetty grabbed his arm and he looked back.

Cleo followed, trying not to let out a relieved breath, "thank you" she said softly, feeling embarrassed, shy, puzzled, as she followed.

She brushed her hands over her eyes, but no tears fell. She caught up with him, and made as if she were still looking around the place

(Double post!)

"Its my fault. I wanted to play the game. To escape my life outside of it. I have nothing to live for outside of here. My grandparents don't even love me. The only reason why I live with them is because they get money. I stole to earn the money just to buy SAO and its not something that can be blamed on anyone but myself." Avetty said dropping the soul stone

Joryn let her open the door with the key that appeared in her hand after she gave the game the col.
They walked into to a lovely lounge area, there was a kitchen behind the lounge and there was a table.. there where stairs that led to the bedrooms and extra rooms.

Joryn smiled "Here's your new home"
Joryn was known to have a high cooking skill.. so he went into the kitchen "I was lucky to even find something like this on floor 1 it's like a 1% chance.. I've mastered cooking so I'll be able to cook us some Ragout Rabbit " he smiled going into the kitchen

Cleo's jaws dropped, why did Joryn have so much at such a low floor..
It was just luck Joryn swore.

"well, that's good, I don't have any cooking level" Cleo said, "I've been focusing on other skills, like listening and such, detection...things that are helpful for me with my class" she said following him into the kitchen "how did you find the rabbit? I didn't think they were on this floor" she sat on the bench, leaving room for him to work.

She smiled, putting the key in her inventory

Kaiden, trying to keep his calm as a tear shed down his eye as he sat... "The reason" he paused "r-reason.. she died.. was because, I wasn't busy looking out for her.."
"She was hit by a car.. in-front of my eyes" he said he bursted into a state of anger "I DIDN"T EVEN TRY TO SAVE HER" he full to the ground in his own mess.. "I ruin things for everybody..." he said sitting there in his gear.

"I try to keep it inside me.. it just doesn't stay in all the time.. I wish I could be out of this game to see her grave.. I should go more often.. she didn't deserve anything that happened" he said.

Avetty knelt down beside him. "My parents were killed by gang members. I knew how to fight even at that young of an age and I didn't try to save them. I hide in a closet to keep from getting myself killed." She said hugging her arms. "I can't even go see their graves."

Kaiden looked up he got a message from somone, it was Joryn it read "Hey dude, where you we haven't caught up yet" he was in the game! but how.. what was this..
He is already level 30! it said something else "Dude I found a nice house by that lake you showed me" he said I messaged back "Oh cool.. how many rooms?"
"its's got 3 rooms one with a master bed, I gotta go me and a friend are cooking up some dinner."

I then realised there was a guild invite from Joryn it reads "Renegades of the Swift Order" Yes or No.. I'll join..

There was one for Elisavet aswell, I sent it to her.

"My mate wants us to join his guild.. he's like already got 50 people invited.. including me" he was still sad from before but
"If we get into the guild we might be able to reach a nice house on floor 2.. it's around about 2000 col.. I have like 100k right now, so yeah.. it's got a bunch of rooms aswell as it's own skill stations in this basement" he laughed shoving off the pain.

"You could stay if you don't have anywhere else too" he smiled. as he got up and they went outside.. Avetty picked up the stone..

They went outside and she tried it again.. this time a massive phoenix flew down to the side of Elisavet.

Avetty accepted the guild invite. "I'll stay since I've been staying in inn." She said petting the phoenix "I have around 150k. Also just call me Avetty I don't want to be called Elisavet in game."

"Sure, call me Kai" he smiled and they hopped on they're flying beasts.. "Your ready, one... two..FLY!"

They both soared through the air... they where slightly cheerful again.

Kaiden turned on a voice command making clearer for them to speak while in the air.

"So, how you like flying on a phoenix?" he said as they flew back to town

"Its amazing!" Avetty said her red hair sailing back out behind her

Joryn had sent a bunch of guild invites out while cooking, "It's funny being friend with a beta tester.. did you get the guild invite?"
He started making Ragout Rabbit Stew.

"He somehow still had it in his inventory, from beta.. must've been a glitch" he laughed..
He eventually finished the meal and put it on two plates at the coffee table, they both started eating and talking.

Kaiden and Avetty, got back to town, and Kaiden PM'd Joryn "Hey dude, are you cooking the Ragout Rabbit that i got you?" Kaiden typed
"Yeah, it's lovely.." he said... "Jesus how did you cook it so quickly"

"Mastered Cooking Easily"

"Hey come into town and come to the inn" Kaiden said

"Go to my room, heres the key.. have it for the rest of your time on floors safe zone" he PM'd me the room number, it was the massive en suite. jeeze.

"Hey Avetty, Joryn gave me the en-suite room inside the Inn, theres a bunch a rooms, you can have one of them.. saves space for others" Kaiden said as they flew down to the town.

As they did. everyone saw the phoenix and the wyvern and where astonished.. "now you have the feeling that I had when I came into town" kaiden smiled at Avetty.

Cleo accepted the guild invite, figuring she might as well, and Watching him cook, intrigued. "Well, there's bound to be glitches. Too bad there's no glitch to getting out"

She moved to the table, sitting down, beginning to get the rabbit "oh, that's amazing!"

"Hey, I know.. well if you want I'm going into town to meet Kairo and his friend.. wanna join me?" said Joryn after cleaning the plate.
He then walked up stairs, but first.. I'm gonna see the bedrooms, I might have a rest.

Cleo shrugged, "Sure, why not?" She said, "alright" She said, moving to follow. May as well see where she was going to sleep. She looked about the house, "Who are they?"

"Kaiden, is the beta tester.. and he's got a chick named Avetty with him.. seems like he has a crush" he laughed as he walked up stairs..
He opened the door to the master bedroom "Your bedroom your highness" he joked as they went inside.

It had a masters bed and a bunch of extra vanity surrounding it.. there was a chest to store stuff in in each bedroom. she sat down on the bed and I did too and
she was about to talk.

Cleo sighed, laying back on the bed. "Its so soft" She said, "You wouldn't think something virtual could be so soft" She took a moment, before sitting back up. She glanced at Joryn, then away, feeling her face heat in a blush.

She licked her lips, then glanced back at him. "thank you, for this place, for taking me here, for talking to me. Even for telling me about the deaths..." She trailed off.

"Just..." She shook head her, and looked away once more.

Joryn "What is it?" he was confused..
"Hey.. it's about the deaths, there is no way Kayaba is gonna get away with this, it's not possible he is gonna get away with it, he will spend his life in prison even if I have to get Venira's father to help me do so" he said.

"Yeah, I grew up with Cassidy's family.. My parents died in a house fire when I was five" he looked sad again.
