Thread: The Player(Sumi)

The short moment of hesitation from his part as she waited for an answer brought a little frown of frustration on her face. No doubt he wasn't eager to suddenly marry a stranger, even if it was only inside a game, but she hoped that he would at least accept because of the convenience of having her sword. She almost thought she had no chance at this, especially as he cursed again. That is, until she saw him bring up the list of nearby players and then press the propose button. Obviously, as slow as she was, she didn't even have the time to press yes because he did it for her before she could even think of it. Once the Red Thorn was taken away from her and she was pushed back, Rei rolled her eyes and shook her head. In spite of having met each other for the first time a couple of minutes ago, it almost seemed like she knew enough about him. This guy could be described in three simple words. Impulsive, grouchy and rude. Of course, since she was annoyed with him for treating her like she's some stupid girl, there was no way she would admit his qualities too. Still, somewhere in the back of her mind she admired how much strength was behind that ego of his. And while other men would have surely left her on her own at such a moment, he was kind enough to protect her. He was pretty much courageous too there was also the possibility that he was stupid, but she figured he wasn't one of those idiots who barged into a fight out of sheer stupidity, so she guessed she had to give him the credits. However, that didn't totally assure her that he would be alright if he would actually bluntly attack the creature all of a sudden. She was about to call him an idiot after all, but shut her mouth when the beast's arm was cut off. Well, what do you know? That piece of metal is better than I thought. she mumbled to herself, realizing with disappointment that the Red Thorn was much better in the hands of someone stronger than she was at the moment. Her lips parted inadvertently at the sight of the armadillo turning into little blue specs which meant only one thing. Mister big mouth killed the beast with just two swings. Crossing her arms against her chest, she looked over at him as he was cheered by the other players, for a moment looking like some sort of hero. She forced a laugh and shook her head. As if. Taken aback as he suddenly pushed the sword back in her hands, she returned her attention to him with a sly little smile. Maybe. But this manipulative motherfucker is your wife now. And it's not like I forced you to do this. she retorted, proud of her achievement. The scowl returned however, at the usual mockery, following him nevertheless as she sheathed her sword as well. Stop calling me that! she quickly protested, before he opened the doors to the next level, at which her mouth almost dropped. The sight was stunning. Placing her hands on her hips, she took a deep breath, taking in what seemed like a fresh artificial air. Well, all's good when everything ends well. But there are still some things we have to discuss. she pointed out, glancing at him from the corners of her eyes. We still have to talk about the rules of this marriage. she added, surprisingly looking pretty serious as she patted his shoulder, waiting to see how he would react to such words. In fact she almost expected him to be irritated at the mere word 'marriage'.
