[7]: An Addition to the Ariti Household

"[Name]-!" Lord Ariti rammed himself through the front doors of the Ariti estate, wrapping his arms around his only child. "Are you alright?!"

The h/c-haired person chuckled sheepishly before returning the hug.

"I'm okay father! No worries!" they turned to Myles, who still had the child on his back. "But I need a guest room prepared immediately. No time for questions! I'll answer them later!"

Lord Ariti stared in surprise before quickly clearing his throat.

"Servants! Please bring this child to one of the spare guest rooms. Make sure to monitor her condition and inform my child and I with any updates." [Name] beamed at their father, feeling gratitude bubble in their stomach. Instantaneously, a male servant gently grabbed the sleeping child, making his way into the estate. [Name] stared after her with concerned eyes.

They had decided to trust their gut feeling back there, and it ended up leading them to that kid. The e/c-eyed individual tried to remember if there were any significant brown-haired characters in Divinia. Yet the only person who came to mind was Forrest. [Name] shrugged off the thought before turning to their knight. They would ask who she was once she was fully recovered.

"Thanks Myles!" they beamed. But that smile quickly faltered when the male gave them a glare. Suddenly, he took their hand and pulled them towards the Ariti estate.

"I have some personal business with the young master, milord. Please excuse us for a bit." Myles called over his shoulder. Lord Ariti waved back, just content that [Name] was alright.

"What were you thinking to just run off without me-!" Myles exclaimed, shocking [Name] in the process. "You could've gotten seriously injured or worse, young master." He shot them another glare. "I swear to Destonia- wait a moment." His eyes widened in realization. "Was your sudden action today because of yesterday's..." the knight paused but [Name] knew what he was trying to say. They glanced away, cheeks heating up slightly.

"Umm, maybe." They coughed. "Sorry Myles. I promise I won't sneak out without you knowing, next time. But-!" [Name]'s eyes sparkled, surprising Myles. "I needed some space to think about ways to convince you to let me join Forrest!"

He frowned. "You could've just stayed in your room all day and I would've understood you needed alone time, young master."

"Well yeah but...I needed to get up and move around, y'know?" Myles sighed. His lilac eyes moved up and made contact with [Name]'s.

"So, did you?"

"Did I what...?"

Myles looked away. "...Did you think of any reasons to convince me?" [Name] paused, before their face stretched into a big smile.

"Umm, kinda! Can...can I tell you them now?"

"Sure."

[Name] went to sit down on their bed and Myles turned around to face them. They took a deep breath in, letting it out slowly. Finally, they looked up and smile.

"Okay! Sooo, umm, let me start. I know the biggest reason you're not letting me join Forrest is because well, I'm weak." They chuckled.

"....That's incorrect." [Name]'s eyes widened.

"Huh?"

Myles sighed, walking over and sitting next to them. He turned to [Name] with pink-dusted cheeks.

"While it is true that you're lacking in strength and magic, the main reason is because..." he paused, but [Name] leaned closer in anticipation of his answer. "....because I'm also weak."
