When Aguero died, an envelope was given to Noel; the seal that kept this envelope closed perished when Aguero did. The contents of this letter was important for the future of Lamia Scale. The streets were slowly emptying of people, as it continued raining. This didn't stop Noel from looking for Arisa. Every tall person with violet hair he'd approach. This lasted for a hour and half, until Noel gave up and retreated to an alley, where he sat down. Cold and wet from the rain, facing the world all by himself. His breathing picked up, which turned into almost hyperventilating. A panic attack was starting to occur. Which was Noels second panic attack, the first one happened earlier on the train to Baska.

Her hands gripped the handle of the umbrella, opening it as she exits the hotel and outside she went. She wore a long wavy skirt, lilac ruffled blouse that had some designed lace. The blouse wasn't love sleeved, but the left over light was keeping her warm as the umbrella blocked the rain from hitting her.
The tip of the umbrella blocked her golden lit eyes as she let them wander to see for herself around her. Everyone was leaving the area and went inside their homes. A small smile escaped her lips as she felt relaxed in the rain. Arisa enjoyed walking on the stone sidewalk in the rain as all she could hear was the pouring cries of the sky. Her flawless cream colored skin had simple shines from her enlightened aura, making her golden eyes glow more if someone actually saw her eyes.
Her full glossed lips continued to have a small smile as if trying to think positive, but while she walked she swore an alley she just passed by was someone sitting in the rain. 'Huh? Why is someone in the rain?' she wondered. Her eyes looked left and right while wondering if to turn back or not. The person could be in need of help, just like she was on that raining day. Her body twisted and turned to walk towards the alley and stopped. She walked slowly towards the unknown man, not getting closer than five feet away. ''Excuse me, are you alright?~'' she questioned sweetly. Slowly Arisa moved the umbrella upward to reveal her eyes to get a better look at this man. His eyes, face and hair was covered by the hood he was wearing. Hopefully this wasn't some weird person or one who likes to trick people. She was prepared for anything of course though.

"I love you."
He breathed out, into her neck somewhat. His clothes were cold, as was he.
"I've been looking everywhere for you... can we get to some place inside? It's really cold."
His heartbeat returned to its normal values, as his panic attack stopped. He let go off her, feeling sorry for wetting her clothes a little. There were so many things he needed to talk to Arisa about. His name, where he's been, what he saw, what happened to the Guild Master, how he was involved in that, how he felt sorry about what he did during the date. These weren't words meant to be shared in public though, so they ought to find a quiet place. Favorably, where he could hang up his clothes over a fire or something to warm them up.
"Do you live nearby here?"

Her hand gripped onto his hand or sleeve (whatever was available), dragged him forward through the rain. Her other hand held the umbrella and thought, 'So glad I just got this place a few days ago...'. It could be awkward for Alisa to be there if all she had to go to was the hotel room. After selling her manor, she received a paper of a single place for her to stay in her travels - wherever she went. This place was a nice cabin that looked like two cabins out together against each other. She stopped as she opened the door for him and closed it after they walked in. ''Well, this is it. Make yourself comfortable.'' she spoke sweetly with a sweet smile, putting down her umbrella on the floor. She took her shoes off and went towards the living room. There was a maroon love seat, white rug between that sofa and the fireplace itself. She kept thinking as she started up the fire place so it could get warmer in here, to warm him up specifically.

When they arrived at Arisa's cabin, Noel headed for the fireplace immediately.
"It smells nice here."
The scent reminded him of her. When the fire got started, he took off most of his clothes. Shirt, pants, shoes -- he put them close against the fire and wrapped a blanket around himself and sat at the couch.
"Have you heard? About what happened in Orchidia?"
A shadow scowled over his face again, he'd look down, disappointed at himself. Regardless of what she replied with, he'd continue talking.
"There's a letter in the breast-pocket of my coat, it's contents are important. Take your time and read it."
The letter spoke of the future of Lamia Scale, written by Aguero; and in the case of his death, they were his last instructions. At the top of the letter, it spoke of what mission and objectives Lamia Scale at it's entirety. At the bottom was something very important.
"In the case of my death, the next Guild Master of Lamia Scale shall be Arisa 'Ana' Rinmizukimi"
Noel waited until Arisa was done reading the letter. A part of him felt really happy for her, that she got the privilege to become the Guild Master; another part of him hated it - he didn't want her to be in any sort of danger. There were a few things he begun scheduling mentally, preparing her for combat, confrontation, those kinds of things. But there was a matter more important for now.
"I think we need to set up a meeting between the guildmasters, and set up a combined effort against Grimoire Heart, namely, Icarus."

After telling her that there was some letter in his pocket, she walked towards the hanging coat and dug her hand into it. Her light colored skin shined by the fire's light while the golden color was blazing and reflecting the flames like mirrors. She bit her lower right lip with her canine tooth while reading this lettering. It was certainly by, Aguero. She has seen some of the things he has written, but by the time she read the end of the letter, she dropped her arms like dead weight.
Her hands still gripped the paper while they rested against her pelvis. ''I don't understand.'' she started, fully turned to look at Maarschalk with a confused stare. ''Why was I chosen?'' she questioned. She walked to sit by him, forgetting for a moment about her questions towards that one night and now was on about this letter! Her eyes wandered left and right, confused as she had the right to be. Her head turned to look at him softly with a small frown on her face. ''Are you alright with this? I know you've read it... I'm sure you have. Was this truly why you seek me?'' she lastly questioned while laying the paper on her lap. Her hair was somewhat in her face, a mess due to the moisture of the rain and the sudden climate change between the cabin and outside.

"I was overwhelmed."
"Up until that day, my mind was focused towards one objective."
"Fighting was my passion, and my motivation. For the thirty-years I've been on this planet, that was my sole purpose. During my childhood, I got bullied by many. My dad was nonchalant about it, 'just beat them up', is what he'd say."
"And that is what I did. But eventually, violence wasn't accepted. The social norm changed, this happened when I graduated -- after a few mistakes, and feeling powerless with just my fists, I learnt that I wanted to help the world. Make the injured better. That way, I still had power."
"That feeling regressed after having participated in some large scaled combat conflicts, where people were just a number; and the enemy was always stronger than us."
"I remembered the advice my father had given me, and continued my life centered around fighting with people -- preventing deaths indirectly, rather than directly."
"And this worked. There's been numerous instances of these evil-doers I put down, preventing the death of countless people. They never called me a hero; and I didn't feel like one. I'm just one man, doing my duty to protect society."
"And then... I met you."
"Fighting wasn't a given anymore. I started avoiding situations where I know I could've been a victor, because of the chances involved that I won't be; with severe maiming being a result."
"I love you, and I don't enjoy the idea of being unable to with you. I started hesitating whenever I fought since we've met, making me doubt myself."
"Sorry if my answer wasn't what you expected, but it's the truth. I love you, but at the same time I don't want to let you go."
Noel explained, he'd rest his head on her shoulders.
"I started calling myself Noel again, that's the name I was known by when I was studying medicine. I think Aguero chose you because he knows that I'm broken, and you're not. I'm alright with it, of course I am. But on the other side, I feel bad, because it puts you in a position where you might get attacked. So I'll stay with you, and protect you from the shadows -- whether you accept it or not."
He started feeling better. Talking was good, but it became a rare thing for Noel to do. So letting it all out once in a while proved it's value.

With her other hand she played with his hair, looking down into his eyes of mysterious. Her eyes were silver-white like mirrors of the moon. Her full lips that were glossed spoke softly with some grasp-sound. ''With you by my side -- always, I will fully accept both the title and the love I've been wanting.''. Her voice was cracking a little as if she was going to tear up, but she didn't want to scare him off again, so she held back her tears and any more words that may make him run. For now they will speak of whatever he wished as she wasn't going to question him anymore. She's had enough people disappear in one life time. With Noel confessing his love for her, was enough. She leaned down and kissed his forehead, her bangs tickling alongside his jawline. ''I love you, Noel.'' she spoke. 'More than you'd ever believe...' she thought, enjoying the night.

Noel got up after having kissed Arisa on the lips.
"I think I'll take a shower, care to join?"
Under the blankets that covered him there was still some cold, and it made his skin shiver. The rain he'd been in for a long time luckily gave him no frostbite, although he wasn't very far away from hurting himself. After getting up he got his clothes back from in front of the fire and went to the shower, unsure whether or not Arisa was planning on following him.

She escorted her man to the showers and left the door right open cause... who was going to be crazy enough to just let themselves right into this cabin? No one that she could think of. She undressed and so on, turned on the water and let him do the temperature controlling. Sure enough she enjoyed his company more than she ever thought she could enjoy anyone's company. The night was taken as fantasies happened and the time was ticking, but in her mind? She was gone, breath taken away from the hands of her own and his.
