"You can go back to your little village. Play your piano. Live in solitude. You can go back to your old life." Royal suddenly suggested, his voice serious.

"That..." Lilly started. "I...don't think I want that." She told royal as she sat up, looking down at the smoking city.
-
"So what are you gonna do then?" Royal asked, sitting up as well.
-
"I need to talk with Cain, first." She told Roy. "See where his head is at...but....he's probably just gunna do what I say anyways so..." Lilly thought for a moment, before she looked at royal. "What about the dojo? Wh-why don't I come back with you there? From what I've heard and seen, there's plenty of healing work to do there and...that might be a good place for Cain! Just...training! And fighting without any real spite!"
-
"Well you can go. I'm done with this place, gonna leave Takatai for while." Royal replied, shaking his head. "I'm done here."
-
Lilly grew a look of concern over her face as she looked at royal. "What? What do you mean?"
-
"Exactly what it sounds like. My nephew, Nathaniel returned to the Dojo while I was gone. I'm passing my Sensei status to him and leaving."
-
"O-oh..." Lilly said softly then. Royal couldn't help but hear disappointment in her voice as she looked off the bridge, away from Roy.
-
"Sorry to disappoint, Ice Queen. I... I just need some time away. My life in the dojo has been plagued in battle and war and Betrayal. I don't want to go through it again." Royal said, clearly he was sad about this.
-
"I...I get it. The court days, way back when, where a lot like that." She told him. "It's just...well I don't have many friends here, besides Cain but h-he's my brother. It'll be said to see you go."
-
"Tell you what." Royal's [url=https://imgur.com/KKTKSQg]sword[/url] formed in his hands, sheathed, and he gingerly handed it to Lilly. "This is my most prized possession. It carried me through the Holy Wars. Works well against demons, angels. You name it. I want you to have it. That way, I have a reason to come back. Besides seeing you again, of course." Royal gave her a wicked grin, holding the sword out to her. "My lady." He respectfully bowed his head as he handed her the sword.

Lilly Sat up, taking her feet off the dangling position they were and she sat cross legged as she eyed the blade. She raised her right hand up to her chin, putting her thumb, pointer and middle finger together as she glanced it down. She looked to royal, as if waiting for actual confirmation, before she shyly grabbed the hilt. "R-royal...this is..."
-
"A big deal, yadda, yadda. I know what it is. That's why you're getting it." Royal said, giving her a grin. "Blade might be a bit heavy at first, but..." The hilt fit perfectly inside her hand, as though it had been crafted for her. "Supposedly it's supposed to fit in any person's hands."
-
"That's...incredible!" She told royal as he lifted it from his hand. "Wait...where...where did you get this?"
-
"Pfft. Doesn't matter. Just... Call it Yaeger. You can make up a story, it was probably true at one point or another." Royal looked away, moving his hands as Lilly took the blade.
-
Then, out of no where, Lilly hugged royal, wrapping her arms around his neck tightly.
-
He chuckled lightly, before returning the hug and patting her back. "I'll see you around, eh?" Before Lilly knew it, Royal was gone and Lilly was hugging nothing but air. [spoiler]End? Just give the rewards to Nathaniel if I got any. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]The end my man! And sure, I'll PM you.[/spoiler]
