Yes Faris had continued to best the tide and continued on, while sure he could be there to just merely hold things, Faris was still determine to use this all as a means to improve his life for the better and because in some manner he did not just consider a mere boy toy to an older then him half drow. Faris took most of this in stride and it had gone well even this travel was some what on edge for him but because it was on the back of a beast he seemed to manage well, Faris seemed actually okay with flying, He was some what nervous at first only because he had not actually been flying before, But he was smart enough to tie his hair back before flight.

While Faris was over all had a hard time hearing some times, But he heard they where close enough to land. As she asked how he was doing, He merely leaned over for a moment, With a simple placement of his hands on one of her hips, Here merely made sure to lean towards one of her ears and said."I am fine."Then seemingly then made sure he was not going much else until they landed.

Faris seemed to managed well to get off Balerion with out much problem either. As he looked at Balerion during her comment."Yes Balerion is lovely beast indeed." Then Faris would even add in to kind of stroke the ego in which of the azure amazon he was with at this time."As beautiful as their master no?"Faris said with a bit of chuckle, Waiting to see what would happen with that comment. So far assuming nothing would really become of it, Faris some what always wanted keep the compliments flowing in a playful way.

While Faris might have to eventually break his front eventually. His charm had yet faded at this time."Why not both? beautifully fierce?"Faris posed it as a question with his charm. It seemed no matter what calling it both was sneaky way to add in compliments, But he no matter what seemed to respect the beast, Even if one might assume given how his family."Or fiercely  beautiful?"Faris knew he was just over all just was as he always so throwing in compliments as often as he could while expressing his personal thought."many beasts can be respected for their own beauty and fierceness . I learned that from when my father would bring me to the gates to watch him fight the many beasts who wanted to enter the city."Faris almost sounded like he was slightly found of that moment in life for himself.

But they did have to continue other things. But since she wanted to know Faris would merely ask her something. Even adding a bit of final charm to it. taking her right hand and kissed the top of it."Promise me...if I tell you my story, You will not think less of me for it." It was not a question it was a request and a serious one. He did not want to be thought less of, For some reason he did expect judgment.

Then it broke, his entirely bravado, That charming knightly front broke and he looked depressed. This entire front broke that Faris was not looking at Zelda as he explained he seemed to look at nothing."I fear the sea...it's open waters remind me of large scale death I witness by a Kraken taking out the ship I was on....Every larger body of water makes me nervous...feeling like while I lived along with two other people I know where part of that crew of I was on shipping out to deliver various grain supplies to some nation I don't remember."It was almost like Faris could see each part playing out again in a day dream, well more like having a nightmare during a day just some one explaining it now.

But alas he continued on, Even if his soul seemed to have died during this time."But the Captain I was serving as their Navigator for, Told everyone to grab weapons and prepare for a fight, Captain Jai-Han apparently had been hunting this Kraken for years....So much so while it was not her job at the time we ended up fighting that Kraken...but it won."Faris could almost hear the breaking of wood again, The screams of various shipmates either falling in the water or falling victim of the dangerous Kraken's ire.

But Faris did not bring up what he did during he merely ended it up."I woke up on shore in Fiore, dragged a away from the water by medic on the boat  nicknamed Patches. Her, Jai-Han and myself where the only ones to live...The other two are somewhere in Fiore I have not spoke to any of them since."You could almost feel a sense that Faris felt not only haunted by this, but shame. A Knightly Seven made raised to be a protector of people from beast failed, But he was not made for sea combat and only just knew where to go. But many things was left out and not known. All of this adventuring with her might be Faris trying to work on his fears just not admitting it.

It seemed the subject about his family came up, Faris would at least give her some insight to Faris' life, So he would say a few about his life in Seven."Yes, my father is a very prideful man, He taught all of his kids to be able to defend themselves against the most basic of things. Even my sister Athena was taught in some manner to fight hand to hand and subdue people or handle beasts that linger in Seven, Even if she looks like she is a woman ready to just there sit and be spoiled."Faris knew in this manner he could explain Athena much better but it was just what he could sum up at this time and if Athena ever hear him explain her like that, He might be get words said back to him even if she did love him.

But Faris' normal stride would seemingly return as Zelda seemed if anything to support him when he expected something far different."Well I do not have a problem with it, Just don't fall in love with him, My mother isn't interested in having him taken away."He said that as a joke because he assumed she would not try it. Faris' father was also extremely loyal to his wife after all Faris did seemed to reflect this behaviour some what over all.

Faris' Father could be very well a tough fighter who just seems to have to have everyone be the best fighter for their own lives, who seemed to value lives around them and had most likely some what the same habits of Faris just without the flare and pretty boy behaviour."I consider it a good happen stance, That me looking for the most interesting beauty during a festival made me meet some one who would be able to help me with my problem."Faris seemed less nervous now, Which means he did not think he was as much as a failure, After all even the greatest of fighters had trials they needed to go through.

So while Faris felt slightly like a failure at this time, He seemed to have not given up. But since she suggested it. Faris would say this."Yes, Let us hunt them, It shall be a wonderful victory."Faris almost sounded motivated at this point, Even if it was just mostly still monster hunting the pair seemed to be bonding from the desire of hunting monsters.

Sure it was an interesting and different love story,Since Faris' normal charm was returning."Who better to help me then this fiercely  beautiful one before and her equally fierce and  beautiful steed?" Faris had said with a bit of a cheeky smile on his face. It seemed his spirits where back.

It was a good thing to state that because in some manner Faris did not mind answering it gave Zelda in sight for the future about what people could meet with in his family."Yes decent large. My parents, A few siblings aside from who i mentioned already Athena."But he was starting to get curious as he was starting to feel like he was just letting a lot more then what he knew about her, Sensing there was some kind of greater connection."But now I must have what do you have for family?"Faris asked it in the most basic terms, he did not dive into it too in depth it allowed Zelda to explain things she wanted too and possibly wanted to not explain to him.

But Faris would see how throwing in a hint of showing he wanted her for himself while knowing his father and mother were married together until death took one of them and it would not bother them."Besides, if I am entirely honest."Faris would use it be the normal charmer he was, placing one of his hand on her butt and kisses Zelda upon her forehead for a moment. With a gentle pat he laughed for a moment."I am greedy and would prefer you to myself."Faris didn't sound too overly greedy about it, just showed some typical desire in which might be expected.

But suppose he figured Zelda might not want to get too touchy feely while out here and maybe it save it for another time would not do much else at this time since they where on an adventure."Just a mere bonus? Take to make this Kraken hunt ordeal much more worth for both of us."Faris chuckled about it.

He did feel inspired by what Zelda said but cracked a joke."Considering your one who tried to dominate and lead me a fair amount, Does this account for some of our...personal habits too?"Faris said with a chuckle about trying to be some what more of a leader at times with some things but even then it was intended for humour he seemed happy with how things with her are currently and what they could be in the future.

WC:363

As Faris was back to himself, in some manner knowing very well this woman was not use to a normal family life much like he was Faris figured it was another time to be a cheeky man like he was and simply say."Oh? suppose the means you can just join into mine with out problem then?"Faris was trying to get her to laugh a bit more.

Even if he could be slightly serious about it because he was getting long as well as he was with her. Only merely also adding me."I am sure you will fit in just fine with what hunting skills you have shown already."Faris if anything was hinting while it was a lonely road at times, There are people who are willing to accept her for how she was right now. Faris was an example of it. After all Faris had shown even with the dangers that came with her, Faris was still around and tried to be around her.

as for taming her and not fully yet maybe Faris showed in some manner how well he actually thought things through, In reality he was not trying to tame her completely after all she merely liked Zelda for who she was. So he would turn up the charm for a bit more of a the humour of it. Ambitious  is fitting for what Faris was, But she seemed happy with it."Tame you? Why would I tame such beauty when I am happy with how they are now?" Faris would give her a wink. Faris took Zelda as she was now."I will merely be who I am, You will be who you are, They is all I assume will happen."Faris said. Faris did continue try his charm game but he was actually bring serious.

But it would not be Faris with out some kind of slightly romantic and slightly lewd joke added in."Well...Yes, I just happen to be the best seat in the house along for the ride."Faris said with a second wink at her. Suppose he figured they should prepare to start exploring now, So he would start normal stretches needed to start walking and exploring.

Was he getting too far ahead of himself? It was a good question after all he could be rejected at any moment for this situation to go sour and he was just pressing it on how to see how far he would go, As much as she felt a strong connection to keep trying, It was because she was very much far different from him he kept trying, it was interesting, it was a refreshing it was different, He could have gone home and found some woman in Seven, But Faris was seeking some one to also for some one fitting to help fight and hunt the outside monster of the city.

If anything Faris found what he was looking for even if with his struggles with her being here still, Faris is willing to deal with her struggles because she looked pasted his."Well, I am unsure how you feel about it over all. A proposal is a fitting word, If you really are comfortable and willing to see if it works for you, I do suggest we go to Seven, See the city, Meet my parents and maybe a few of my siblings. Understand why I would want to seek out and look bond with a monster hunter, Even if a risky one."Faris seemed to have a plan, While not forcing it all on her, A mission and plan was in place that, But summed one Faris was looking to marry a monster hunter into his family to continue to defend Seven from the monster outside of the city walls.

When in that context his love and devotion made sense even with the risk."Well if anything in life showed me, Even sometimes negative traits can be worked into positive ways, If it means your aggression needs me too...wrestle with out with out weapons, it's training to build strength, It is running to catch a beast I need to work on my cardio...mind you i lost already to you so i have some work to do, Your impulses might be risky but I'm willing to embrace them as they are now."Faris in some manner was letting his normal ways come out of him.

Yet again almost expecting this to annoy her enough. He take her hand as if he was about to kiss the top of it but didn't but he stood in front of her and merely said."With fully willing to embrace your risks for what you are, I firmly believe much like my own flaws. We can make this work, But also while it is not normal and natural to you, you deserve to be loved much like any other humanoid."Faris had pretty much laid out his plans and idea with his life with Zelda knowing very well the risks.

Waiting to most likely expect her to feel uncomfortable about it or still like she needed to walk away from it. He might had laid it on too much. It was not exactly a proposal of marriage right out, But Faris showed he was thinking and trying to make a a few things work with what he had. Then before he put back on his cheesy knightly pretty boy charm he simply asked."Well what do you think? Too much?"Faris internally was prepared also for the worst again but he was honest about it. Faris was willing and saw a life with Zelda even if risky to him. If she said yes he would kiss the top of her hand but that was to be expected here.

They would slowly moving on to exploring rather then talking now it was a future matter anyway. Time to get back to exploring, Even making use he had his geared prepared and everything."Good, we have an eventual travel plan to prepare for now too."Faris said sounding happy and excited for the most part. He was smart enough to stretch out then put his armor on because travelling with it all on now would most likely be a cause for weight imbalance. But that was a Faris thought, if he was wrong he was wrong he just walked everywhere or when he had the jewel carriage travelled.

But at least Faris was interested, in what she wanted to do there."Oh, that will be an interesting trip indeed. I haven't tried to explore the ruins all that much."Faris could mention while he thought about it now days he only really remember a way to enter it about it really. But that was not needed at this time."I am sure father is easy to get along with, He ask about going to throwing spears, fire a few arrows at targets, Worst he asks me to grapple him."Faris listened fairly casually about it, But that was just his father most likely there was other things to add in if asked between his other family members.


Even with the warning and her mentioning of not being so easily daunted or off put. Faris seemed to chuckle. About he knew what he was getting into and would try anyway. Putting one of his arms around her and simply just saying."I am aware, just no knives in the bedroom."Faris seemed to have a sense of humour about it."Unless I need to, Pat you down every night?"It was a joke question, but he played along with the nature of the women he was with.

While Zelda thought of it as showing off a prize in as joking manner Faris would still express his silly views. some manner he knew it was silly. But maybe it was the that silly youth from Faris that also made him who he was."Suppose I could also, View it as a sign of moving on from what what I struggle with."Faris most likely was hiding that he was holding on to what was haunting him for a long time. Zelda seemingly and unintentionally helped him left that fear and stress off of his shoulders. Faris had managed to keep the front for a while even if Zelda managed to crack it, Even if unintentionally."Even with how sappy it will be, You are a prize even a valuable. Even if you might consider that debatable."Faris laughed about it because he was trying to just be himself. He had to be this way for a bit.

Because he seemed to agree with her completely."Why yes seems like that is entirely the case."Faris sounded ready for all of this. After all they where here to find and explore."Some of the many things to do together, Much like what we are here for now."Since she was done stretching and preparing he did figure they would be off to explore.

But at least before they headed off to explore. He would at least continue their game of wit."Maybe, I know my mother and sister's cooking preparations does not count."He chuckle about because he was a rather sly man at times. Since there was something about giving back double"Double you say."Faris let out a sly smile like he normally did, when he felt like he was being cheeky and had some kind of up on Zelda. Even if he was being harmless and playful. Before they learned and saw what they explored while out here. Faris merely took Zelda by one of her wrist pull her towards him and after a kiss on the lips. He then winked and said."Okay miss returned back double, Let's go exploring."Faris then patted her on the butt and in the most Faris fashion continued on walking. Waiting to see what she would do.
