DARK

Chapter 13: Rabbit, Fire, and Ice

Daemon: *finished repairing Agate's motor bike* Phew! All done.

Someone is knocking on the garage door.

Daemon: .....? *walks towards the door and opens it* Yes?

Velvet: Uh... Hi...

Daemon: Hmmm.....? Wait! You're the faunus who was getting bullied. Uh... Sorry, who are you?

Velvet: Velvet.... Velvet Scarlatina.

Daemon: Velvet. Sorry! I didn't ask your name back then.

Velvet: It's ok. Actually that's what I'm here for.

Daemon: *raised his brow* ???

Velvet: T-thanks for helping me back then.

Daemon: You're welcome. But you don't have to thank me. I just did it cause I had to.

Velvet: But then I'd feel bad not having to thank you.

Daemon: Well... O.. K.

Velvet: By the way... You don't feel disgusted at me?

Daemon: Huh? Why would I?

Velvet: I mean I'm a Faunus.....

Daemon: Oh! You mean like other people like Cardin?

Velvet: *nods*

Daemon: No... I'm not that kind of guy. Besides... Faunus doesn't seem different from humans.

Velvet: Ok... *fidgets around*

Daemon: Wait! Is Cardin bullying you again?

Velvet: No! No.... He stopped after you beatet him.

Daemon: I see.

Velvet: You looked really cool back.

Daemon: Thanks.

Velvet: So.... Uh... I have a favor to ask.

Daemon: Yes?.

Velvet: Can I snap a pic of you holding your weapon?

Daemon: Mmmmm.... sure. But I don't have them right now, so maybe when we're at the academy.

Velvet: That's cool. See you there then. *leaves with a few happy skips*

Yang: *emerges from the corner and whistles* Smooth, pretty boy.

Weiss: Quite indeed.

Daemon: You've been watching? Wait..... You're Weiss Schnee, the "Heiress".

Weiss: Hmm... Good of you to recognize me.

Yang: *interrupts* Hey! We need to ask you something.

Daemon: What?

Yang: Have you seen our teammate? She has black hair, yellow or gold eyes, a bow on her head, dressed mostly in black clothes, and maybe brings a book on hand to read.

Daemon: Hmmm.... Maybe I did see her on the way here.

Yang: Really! Where!?

Daemon: Near a tea shop. Just turn left at this corner then pass four blocks; then right and just go straight, you can't miss it.

Yang: K! Thanks!

Daemon: No problem.

Yang and Weiss: *hurriedly left*

Daemon: *sigh* Maybe I should finish, lock up, and head back? *brings out his scroll and calls Agate* Agate.

Agate: D? Wassup?

Daemon: I finished repairing your bike. Come with me tomorrow to test her out. See if it'll run smoothly.

Agate: Got it. See ya. *hangs up*
