Order of Galia

Welkins watched as the train pulled away. His heart was heavy and he didn't really know what to do. Once the train was off, he turned around and started to walk home. He took his time this time and decided to walk around and try to take his mind off of Reia. Was he in love with her? He wouldn't have acted like a fool if he wasn't. It didn't matter at this point. She was gone and told him what she thought. Regardless it still was going through his head. As he walked home some of the towns people smiled and greeted him. Welkins did his best to be friendly and smile back, but he just didn't have it in him. Instead of walking home right away, he went to the armory and got some more bullets and two new sabers. After buying everything and talking for a bit with the owner, Welkins started to make his way home.

It was dark by the time he made it. There was a small breeze and some clouds in the sky. Tonight Welkins was going to set up on top of his windmill and keep watch of the town. It was something he had been meaning to do, but never got around to it. He knew all about the attacks on the other towns and wanted to be sure no one was going after Galia. If that was the case then he wanted to raise the alarm and try to fend off who all he could. Using the magic in his eyepiece made it much easier for him to see at night. He didn't use it often, but it was always nice to have available to him. Once inside, Welkins made some dinner and then set up everything he needed outside. It was still summer so it wouldn't be to cold, but in the case that it was, he brought a blanket.

For the first few hours there wasn't much happening. Lots of animals and some farmers, but that was about it. It wasn't until around 3am that he saw something out of the ordinary. Someone was scouting out the town and he didn't know who it was. The uniform wasn't anything he had seen before either. The moment Welkins saw the guy, he disappeared. Welkins knew this wasn't good and got ready to run over to the guild masters and tell them about it.

Welkins Ran as fast as he could to the train station. He had to see Reia before she left. He had to know if his feelings for her were true. They must be if he was running so hard to see her. People looked in his general diraction as he passed by, but he didn't stop to say hello or anything. He was on a mission of his own. As he rounded the corner, he saw that the train was still there. 'I didn't miss it.' Welkins though as he started to slow down. Not but a few feet away now he could see Reia standing there talking. "Reia!" He shouted out trying to get her attention. She didn't hear him it seemed since she was just about to get on the train. 'Come on you can shout louder.' He thought to himself and then yelled again. "Reia!!"

Reia turned to look at him seeming a little shocked that he was even there. Welkins finally made it to her and was out of breath. "Reia.." He started, breathing heavly now. "Reia I can't let you go without telling you this." He coughed a little then stood up straight. "I'm in love with you. I don't know why and I don't know how, but I'm in love with you. I know it's only been a few days, but It's just how I feel. I've never felt this strongly about anyone before." Welkins looked at Reia in the eyes and smiled gently. He had no idea how she was going to react to him or even if she felt the same back. Why would she, they just met. This was ridiculous. The second he finished talking, his mind raced and though of all the possibility's that could happen right now. It didn't matter though since he wouldn't know until she said anything.

Welkins listened to Reia as she talked to him. "No everything's fine with Isara now. None of this was your fault." He said gently. She seemed to get it, but still felt bad. She haded him the key to her house and he took it with a small smile and agreed to watching it for her. "I hope you'll be safe." He said gently. "I really care about you and I don't want to lose you." Still feeling a little down he took her hand and smiled. She handed him her number and promised to call can keep in touch. "I'm going to have to hold you to that." He laughed a little to himself.

Reia had to go now and Welkins knew that she did. As much as he really didn't want her to. She came up and hugged him real quck before she left. As she was about to leave Welkins grabbed her hand and pulled her back into a hug. "Be safe." He said low and gentle then let her go. She smiled at him the turned to walk away. He watched until he couldn't see her anymore and closed his door. One the door was shut he walked over and started a bath. The bath was warm and it helped Welkins relax a bit. Once he got in, he leaned back and closed his eyes. He opened them again when he realized that he was tearing up. "What's wrong with me? I never get this emotional about people leaving." It puzzled him for a bit then realized he also never felt this way before about a girl. He realized that he was in love with Reia. This stunned him more than anything and he couldn't move for a bit due to the shock. Why was he in love he just met the girl three days ago. The second he was able to think clearly again, he drained the water and got dressed quickly. Once dressed he grabbed his rifle and ran out the door. He wanted to catch Reia before she left. He didn't want there to be a goodbye but to be a see you soon.

Order of Galia

It didn't take Welkins long to walk the town, but he did it again anyways. He didn't feel like his usual happy and kind self. Right now he just wanted to go home and lay there. So after the second walk of the town he let Wendy know he was done and headed home. He didn't see Isara or Reia, so he figured both were busy. It didn't take to long for him to make it home on a normal day, but today he took his time. Something was bothering him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It wasn't often that things got to him. Before he could think more on it, Reia stopped him outside his door asking if she could come by later before her mission.

Of course Welkins agreed to her coming and watched as she walked off. Once she was further away, he opened his door and walked into his house. Be didn't really feel like doing much so he placed his rifle and sabers down then made some food. Bacon was what Welkins would have when he was feeling down. Once it was all made and set, he ate and waited for Reia to come back. While eating, he thought long and hard about what was bothering him. It could be that Reia was leaving, but it had to be more than that. Was it that she was leaving on a mission? Maybe, but he couldn't figure it out. Not much really bothered him so when something did, he didn't know what to do. Normally he would talk to Isara, but this wasn't something he wanted to talk to her about. Mostly since it had to do with Reia. It didn't really matter though. The second he put his plate away, the door was being knocked on. Figuring it was Reia, Welkins walked over to open the door. As he opened the door, Reia was standing there waiting for him. "Come on in." He said gently. "I'm glad I got to see you before you left." He smiled a little as she walked in.

Welkins smiled as Reia was talking about how she wanted to do a mission the next day. "Of course lets go back then." He thought the date had gone well. Once they made it back to her place, Reia kissed Welkins on the cheek and left it that. He waved to her goodnight and then left to go to his house. As he got there he noticed that the door was slightly open. Welkins loaded his rifle and slowly walked into the house. The lights were off, but the fire was going. He kept his rifle at the ready and knew if it got up close and personal he would have to grab his sabers. As he walked into the living room, someone walked up behind him. He heard the footsteps and quickly turned around. Staring down the barrol of his gun was Isara. Realizing who it was, Welkins lowered his rifle and sighed. "Damn it Isara I could have killed you." He said a little harshly, not really impressed. "What are you doing in my house anyways?"

Isara smiled and sat down in the chair. "I didn't see you today after class Welks. I got a little worried about you." Welkins stayed standing and looked at Isara blankly. "I was fine. I was just out with Reia." He said still not impressed. Isara shifted and came up close to Welkins grabbing his arm a little. "Welks you know I don't like that tramp. She doesn't deserve you at all. Why can't you be with me?" Welkins could smell that Isara had been drinking, so he decided to dodge that last question. It was probably why she was like this now. Not even giving it a second thought, he made he let go of him then grabbed her some water. Handing it to her, he told her to drink it all. She did then sat down again. "Isara, Reia told me what you said to her and it wasn't right of you to do that. She's new here and she doesn't need you to get all up in her face. Judging how today went, she could probably kick your ass in a heart beat. So please stop it. And stop calling her a tramp." He walked back over to her and sat at the oposite end of the table. "But Welkins..." She started to whine a bit. "No whining. I'm telling you to stop this madness that has gotten ahold of you and back off Reia. Understand?" Isara nodded her head and then laid it down on the table. Welkins rolled his eyes then sighed, knowing he was going to have to carry her home.

The next day, Welkins got up and did his morning stroll through the town. Everything was all fine, so he walked himself to the guild building and waited for classes to start. He had wondered if Reia had gotten that mission she wanted. Even though she was new, she seemed to know what she was doing. Guess he'd find out in weaponry if she got it or not.

As the day went by, Welkins didn't see Reia at all. She must have gotten the mission and was sent out right away. Classes were boring as usual and when it came to it, his father still wasn't there. 'Might as well do my rounds.' He thought to himself, a little bummbed that Reia still wasn't there. He hoped that she was okay. During his round, he saw Isara walking around. Not really wanting to talk to her after last night, Welkins just kept going. She seemed to get it too, since she looked right at him.

Roxas heard the door open from the other room right as he was finished talking to Ifrit. It was Morthos coming in and he turned on the lights out in the main room. 'Damn it.' He thought to himself, knowing he woud have to get out soon. Ever since he got into this, he almost never had a second to himself. It was fine and all, but he could only take so much of Jax and Morthos', whatever they wanted to call it. It was tiring when they were together. Morthos knocked on the door and told Roxas the plan. He wasn't really hungry, but if they were going over the plan and finding Intel the it was probably a good idea for him to go. "Yeah I'll be out in a bit. Just getting cleaned up and whatnot." He got out of the shower and placed a towel under the door to prevent any light bleeding in.

After he was all clean and felt a bit more relaxed, Roxas got out of the shower and got dressed. Luckily he had some extra clothes and a new outfit that he didn't want to wear until later on. Seeing as it was the only clean outfit he had right now there was no choice but the wear it. Better than having on the battle garb all day. Didn't feel right without the mask. So he cleaned off the water and started to get dressed. As he was putting everything on he looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. "Man do I look hot in this one. Ophelia will love it." He kept smiling and put his glasses on. "Prick." Ifrit said in the back of his head, smirking a bit. "Oh shut up." Roxas said a bit louder than he wanted as he was walking out of the bathroom door. Morthos seemed to be looking at him since he probably heard Roxas. Trying to dodge it all together, Roxas smiled. "How do you like the new get up?" He said as he turned around a bit so Morthos could get every angle. "I'm ready to go if you are. I'm assuming we are meeting the girls in the lobby? If so I'm heading down there now." Roxas grabbed the things he needed for the day and headed down to the lobby. Some of the women that he passed gave him some looks while he was walking down. All he did was smile and greet them. Ophelia would probably get pretty mad if she was here. Figuring she would be protective of him. The thought of that made Roxas laugh a bit as he finally made it to the lobby. He found a nice chair and waited.

It didn't seem to take to long as both Ophelia and Jax came down. Jax was talking to a few of the locals, which was probably good. Roxas decided to wait a bit before going over to talk to them. They needed some time alone too more than likly. Once a few minutes passed, Roxas got up and fixed his front, then walked over to the girls. "Hey girls how are you?" He said mostly for Ophelia, but didn't want to be rude to Jax. He smiled and waited, hoping they would comment on his new outfit. It wasn't every day that he had something completely new. All the other clothes he had were the same with just a slightly different color to the blazers and plaid pants. "Anything on the werewolf's yet?"

Welkins continued to look out at the flowers. Not really listening to Reia. "I'm sorry, I was just lost in thought. I was thinking about my mother. She died when I was ten and her grave is apart of those flowers." He looked back at Reia and smiled gently, a small tear in the corner of his eye. After thinking about it for a little bit, he quickly changed the subject. "I couldn't find her after weaponry. I looked, but she was no where to be seen." He looked down feeling a little bad about what happened. "I'll find her and talk to her. Don't worry."

Once they were both finished with the food, Welkins packed everything back up in the basket. "No I like meat, but when I helped you with the grocery's the other day, I saw that you had a lot of veggies. So I made all this for you." Welkins got up and helped Reia to her feet. "Come on the flowers are more beautiful when you walk through them and can smell them all." Still smiling, he kept his hand with hers and walked to the field. There were all kinds of flowers. Tulips, Pansies, Roses, anything you could think of was there. "Reia I've had a really good time with you today. I hope you feel the same. I know it was a rough start, but it'g going to be better from here on out." He turned to her and smiled.

"I think you'll really love this place." Welkins said gently before he walked into the house. He grabbed some food and the blanket and stuffed them into the basket. After making sure everything was in order, he left and looked at Reia. "We're going to have a picnic if you would like." He smiled then started walking towards to meadow. The walk took them about ten minutes out of town. The place was beautiful. There was one tree on a hill top and over it was a stunning view of a field of flowers.

"This is where I wanted to take you today. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I come here a lot when I'm needing to think or if I just want to be alone. Not many people in the town know about it, but I wanted to share this place with you. Somewhere you could go to think and be alone too." Welkins set up the blanket and the food from the basket. There was all kinds of things to eat. Most of it was vegitarian for Reia. He had guessed when helping with the grocerys that she didn't eat meat. He let Reia sit first then followed after, making sure she was comfortable. There was a slight breeze and it flowed through Reias hair gently. Welkins didn't want to stare so he started to dish up some of the food. Handing the first plate to Reia. She was beautiful just like the flowers in the field. He was so happy to be able to have met her and been the one who showed her around. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't be sitting here right now. After stealing a few glances at her, Welkins looked out into the field of flowers and thought about what could happen next. There was so many things that he loved to do and there was finally someone who actually, maybe, liked him back and would like to go do these things with.

Order of Galia

"Don't worry." Welkins said softly. "I won't let her bully you either. I'll talk to her."

Welkins didn't want to ruin the surprise so all he told Reia that it was a beautiful place and that they would be going to his house first to pick up something. The bell rang for the next class. Welkins went one way and Reia went the other. He was super excited to see her again after class. As he entered his fathers study, there was a note on the table. "Darion." The note started. "There will not be class for the next few days. I am out on a recon mission and I don't know when I will be returning. Study hard and stay safe. I will tell you all about it when I get home." He didn't seem to have enough time to sign his name, but you could see where he was going to by the pen mark. Not sure what to do, Welkins left and walked around doing his daily walk around the town. Had to make everything and everyone was safe. What he did find odd though was that Isara was nowhere to be seen. Maybe she was still recovering.

By the time the last bell of the day called out, Welkins had finished his job and checked in with Wendy. Reia was on her way down and just like always, he was stunned. "Welkys I can tell you really like the new girl." Wendy teased. He just shrugged it off and smiled as Reia walked up to him. "Are you ready to go?" He said gently, a beam across his face.

Roxas glared at Jax when she commented on his clothes, but decided to drop it since it was pointless to argue. He only nodded his head when she brought up the hotel room, not really happy about it, but oh well. "Okay but I'm taking the bed closest to the window." He said lightly and hopped into the carrage. The ride was a little bumpy, but it didn't really affect him that much. There was way to much on his mind right now as this was his first mission in a while with a party. He was also concered about Ifrit trying to work his way out again or at least getting back in his head again. Not something he wanted to deal with right now.

Once they made it to the hotel, Roxas gave Ophelia a kiss and walked up to the room. He wanted to get his clothes washed and really wanted a shower. He could think better when the water was beating down on him. "What am I doing here?" He said gently to himself as he turned the water on. Morthos wasn't there yet so he ut on some music and got in. The water was hot yet felt great. "I love her, but I'm not ready to meet the parents. We've only been together for a few days. They are going to hate my guts. And apparently the mother hates Ophelia too." He talked aloud jumping out and turning the light off so it was pitch black in the room. "Okay Ifrit this is the only time I'm going to ask you for help. What do you think I should do and I'm asking seriously." He let him mind go blank for a second and Ifrit came in. "Well since we're having a heart to heart I guess I can be nice for now. What I think you should do is suck it up and be as nice as you can. You love the girl right? The stand up for her and protect her. They don't like her so expect there to be an argument. If it gets out of hand then you know where to find me." Ifrit left his mind and went without a fight. That surprised Roxas though. Normally he would fight and argue. Guess he wasn't a total dick. Roxas got back into the shower and let the water beat down on him in darkness. The music playing lightly in the background.
