Thread: A Hero's Return (LadyYunaFFX2 & Kiroz's 1x1)

Xiu Zhao Xui's head shook no slowly. We have enough for at least tomorrow. The list I was thinking of was mainly more groceries and quite an array of supplies, cleaning namely. I ... don't think there's much more to add though I would like to speak to you alone regarding a few other things. If it really was over two million dollars, maybe a move wouldn't be too bad? She hadn't intended on only having just Le and Brian's return made the thought of a second child all the more perfect. It was funny but there had been times Le had asked for a sibling. She told her the truth and not simultaneously, that it would take time for her to work on. The actual details ... well .... that could wait for another few years via sex education from the school. And if they didn't do it, fine she would. But she wanted Le to be at a more appropriate age to even hear of such things and around thirteen was good in her mind. No protests were heard from Le on the suggestion of bed. A yawn left her lips as she covered her mouth. Yes, daddy. Her head tilted at the sight of someone wearing a clown mask. Was it an odd costume? That had been what she'd thought at first, up until the gun caught her eyes. A low whimper left as she shut them tightly, trembling lightly. A few flips of channels from the TV and enough brief seconds had displayed a few times to Le what exactly a gun was and could do, generally from the news. But she was old enough to distinguish this wasn't something she was watching, this was real! No! No, no, no, no, no!! The words practically screamed as she followed Le's gaze, her heart almost racing and then stopping soon after. This isn't happening! Fuck and no! Her first instinct had been to shove herself out of the table and cover Le. But would that really be smart? He was so close, his aim could be altered in seconds. Tears threatened her eyes once again, her hands shaking fiercely upon the table. But the next display made her proud and relieved her daughter had done the smart thing and hidden her eyes. She shouldn't have had to see the sight that soon followed. Brian was even swifter than the plans that'd gone into Xui's head. As quickly as it'd began, the man was unconscious and disarmed. Her shaking hands finally gave in as she went through with what she'd wanted from the get-go. Yes .. home now ... Taking a moment to down the rest of the wine first though, she picked Le up into her arms, holding her close. It was slightly selfish, she knew. But there was clearly another thing to add onto the list of talking. Her mind was racing in sync with her heart as she headed back to the elevator, the new concept repeating in her mind. She didn't want it to be right. But gods help her, she was fearing that Brian had still been tracked down. The main reason for it? Simple. The man had gone directly for Brian. He never attempted with anyone else, had no hesitation whatsoever. And he had only been knocked out, not killed. So he knew her and Le's faces ... on the chance he merely worked for someone else. Xui shook her head no fiercely, pressing her own kiss upon Le's forehead. A small smile managed to cross her face. You can open your eyes now if you want, you know? But then she noted the breathing pattern ... and realized no sooner than Xui had picked her up, the poor girl had fallen asleep. Well, hopefully she can remain that way then and not wake up randomly. Her back found the metal bars across the elevator as she leaned against them, still shaking slightly. Words finally managed to leave, though not as easily as usual. T-thank you for the trip and dinner. It was all good save .. well ... the obvious I'd say. But it was incredible otherwise ... really.
