Laura’s Journal 2- Vaike

 “How about Vaike today? He seems harmless? Loud, but harmless.”


Lon’qu: “If that’s what you want.” 


Laura: “Remember to have fun!”


He sighs and mutters “Socializing is not fun.” 


I see him off with a smile as I leave his place. I head back to my own tent and plop on my bed and out the earpiece on.


It sounds as though Vaike and Lon’qu are sparring.


Lon’qu: “Idiot! You nearly removed my head.”

Laura: “Good thing he’s quick…”

Vaike: “Now, now, don’t get your small clothes in a twist. I was just testin’ ya, is all.”


Vaike: “You can be my squire and pupil, and I’ll see if I can’t make a real warrior outta ya.”


I laugh. “Everyone wants him huh?”

Lon’qu: “I’m going to assume this is just an elaborate joke.”


Lon’qu: “I have no desire to be your pupil, fool!”


Lon’qu: “Such persistence! …Very well. If you have defeat me, I’ll consider it.”


Laura: “But, he gives in anyways. He’s too nice for his own good.”


Lon’qu: “But I have not been sitting idly by. I, too, have grown stronger.”

Laura: “Of course he has. Everyday…”
Vaike: “So how about this? Let’s have you stop train in’ for, say, three days.”

Laura: “Why would he stop training?!”
Vaike: “That’ll give me a chance to catch up and make it a fair fight!”

Laura: “How much weaker are you Vaike??”

Lon’qu: “If strength is the only law, then tell me why I would do such a thing.”


Laura: “He’s got a point.”


Lon’qu: “After your last showing, I thought you’d be finished with duels.”


Laura: “How many times has Lon’qu defeated Vaike now…?”


Lon’qu: “How many times must I defeat you before admit failure?”


Laura: “We almost had the same thought.”


Vaike: “Graaagh! No, no, and no again! It has to be you, and none other!”

I grumble.
Lon’qu: “But we must be equals. I refuse to function as either pupil or squire.”

Laura: “Way too nice…”

Vaike: “Partners, eh? Sounds good to me!”


Laura: “Vaike is the one that said partners!”


Lon’qu: “Then why didn’t you say so sooner? BEFORE we had all those fights?!”


Laura: “But, you probably enjoyed defeating him…”


Lon’qu: “Until the next battle… partner.”


Laura: “Definitely, a softie. A strong, softie.”


I put away the earpiece and pop out of my tent. Lon’qu making his way over. When I reach him halfway, I say, “I also want some sparring time!” 


He looks at me. “After all that…?”


“Come on… won’t you indulge me?” 


“…Fine.”


“Hehe. And this is why you’re the best!”


Lon’qu: “Flattery… won’t get you anywhere. I won’t go easy on you.”


“I wouldn’t have it any other way!”


We spar until I’m spent. I sit on the ground catching my breath, drinking some water.

 

Lon’qu’s: “Partners huh?” It sounded like he said something but I’m not entirely too sure.


“Hmmm? Did you say something?”


Lon’qu: “Nothing. Let me know if you’re done or want one more.”


“Has anyone ever told you how nice you are?”


“I-I’m not!” “Besides… not to just anyone.”


“Not yet! Sooner or later, you’re going to be helping everyone!”


Lon’qu: “Sigh… and it’ll be your fault.”


“You say that, but I know how you are. You say no, but you end up doing it anyways.” I smile. 


(It’s a part of your many charms.)


Lon’qu: “…Hmph.”


“See, even you can’t deny it!”


Lon’qu: “Enough… get up, one more spar.” “If you can defeat me, I’ll consider.”


(Like I could ever defeat you…) 


“Help me up?” I reach out my hands toward him.


He sighs, he considers reaching out with his hands to grab my hands but then at the last moment, thrusts his arm at me instead, the tips of his ears singed red.


“…Hold yourself up.”


I’ll take what I can get and grab his arm to lift myself up off the ground.


(I hope you’ll spoil me more for days to come.)


“Thank you, Lon’qu”


“Don’t thank me when I’ll beat you.”


I laugh. “We’ll see what happens!”
