.....wow... just wow...
I... i can't stop looking into her eyes...
Is this.... is this love? No... it must be more.. i never know someone could feel like this? This have to be something more than love at first sight...
Its like her eyes is pulling me into them... i don't think i would mind that...
And i can also feel that she is strong... not if there is any rhyme or reason why i would think of this woman as strong.
Her body is covered by her cloak and i can't even see the figure of her body to even see her muscles... but my instinct is telling me something.
And that something is that.. she is a Huntress.
A powerful one.... and i wouldn't be surprised if she one of her generation's best hunters because my instinct is telling me that she is just a tad weaker than dad.
And dad is a really high top tier hunters with decades of experience.
While i was too in lost in my own thought while looking at Sapphire's eyes, i blinked when i feel a hand patting my shoulder and when i look at who had done that, it was Hans.
He is Patting my shoulders trying to get my attention with a teasing smirk on his face.
'Wait... is it that obvious?' I blushed before i look back at Sapphire and scratch the back of my head with a nervous chuckle.
"Sorry miss Sapphire! I didn't meant to stare." I gongerly look away not wanting to make this situation even more awkward.
'Jaune! What is wrong with you! You were never like this before! Why are you being a nervous wreck! Irs just a woman.. a really beautiful woman with ruby coloured hair and emeraled green eyes... but still she is just a woman...' i blushed even harder when i heard her laugh softly. 'Oh god Jaune! Stopped blushing! If Mordred was here, she would be yelling at me telling me that i am fumbling the bag!'
"Its okay John, i don't mind it." She told me and I then steel myself to look into her eyes again but damn... it is still as beautiful as it was when i first look at it.
"Its just... i was being rude... you're just really pretty miss.." i told her and she shakes her head.
"Hey, i didn't feel offended, John. On the other hand i feel really flattered! No one ever called me pretty before." Her voice sounds like music to my ears especially when she chuckled.
How can a voice be this... beautiful? Not only her eyes.. hair.. face.. but even her voice is beautiful...
And no one called her pretty before? That is.. imposible? There's no way that is true! A woman like her must had been complimented everyday right?
"Its hard to believe.. if somebody never called you pretty... miss." I tried to sound as confident and calm as i usual am.. but its hard doing that with her eyes staring into my soul and made it doesn't want to be freed.
"Trust me Kid, Most people that actually know me.. are scared of me.." her eyes got that look that i usual see whenever someone brought up something to dad about his past.. i don't like it.. an eyes as beautiful as that can't have its light faded because of their pasts.. its an.. its an act of war crime.. yeah.. a war crime.. thats what it is..
Before i can say anything to dissuade her from thinking that, she shakes her head and the look in her eyes is gone in the next blink of her eyes.
"So kid, what are you doing here in Gossan alone?" She tilt her head and look at Hans and Greta behond me. "Are those two your friends? Where's your parents?"
"We're just traveler miss!" Hans answered her with a huge smile on his face.
Greta nodded along and i then smile. "Yeah.. we're just travelers just exploring Vacuo, miss."
Telling her that we're just travelers is the best thing we can tell her because she is either a local or also a fellow traveler and if she is a local then if we tell her that we are from around here, she could know that we are lying no matter how small of a percentage it is.
We can't take that risk.. thats why my hood is still covering my head, i don't want to take any risk because i have Hans and Greta under my protection...
"Oh a traveler? Aren't you three too young to be a traveler?" She smirked and ask us with a teasing smile and by the looks of it, she know that we are lying but she isn't making a scene out of it.. why?
"We're not that young, we're twelve." Greta told Sapphire which only made her raised an eyebrow at us.
Twelve.. as in.. 1 and 2... oh.. i always knew that Hans and Greta are Around my age, but i didn't expect for them to be actually my age..
I guess being a an orphan with little food stagnate their growth, i thought that they would either be 10 or 11 but i guess it is to be expected.
"12? Well.. where's your parent? Are you looking for them? I could go with you three and we can look for them." She give us a smile and pat my head even with the cloak and ruffle it. "No need to worry, Big sis here can protect you."
... yeah.. she can protect us.. but i don't want her to get into any trouble, she is probably here on some business and greta,Hans and i are just trying to get to Shade academy without making any trouble.
And its also because i don't want to trouble her to search for our.. non existents parents here..
"Its okay miss! We are just going to our... inn.. thank you for the offer though!" I thanked her before i grab Hans and Greta's hand and start to walk pass her.
If my instinct are correct and that she is a huntress.. then her instinct would probably know by now that something is off with us, the longer we stay with her the more bad the situation is.. the last thing i want is to drag an innocent bystander into my problems..
[AN: well look at that... little Jaune got his first crush.. awww.....]
