The Princess And The Lord

___l'Markieth before the End's War___

Lucas and the others pick up their bag and put everything inside the trunk inside the black hammer jeep, Lory watch them with her arms crossed on her chest, she also size up if they make neglecting something because the chaotic of the outside world human civilization had pushed behind the great wall or underground like them so if they need anything along the way to find anything would be a great challenged. ​​

"Is that all of it?" Lory asked worriedly.

Fargo clapped his hand "Yup, that's all it!" then he closed the trunk.

Lory still not sure, her eyebrows creased together she tries to remember they didn't forget anything important, Fargo chuckles watching her serious face "Come on, with Clift and Fred here do you think we will miss anything?"

Lory rolls her eyes, of course with these two naggers there's only a small chance they would miss anything "Yeah, I know…" she rolls her eyes with knowing expression.

Fargo smirk "You sure, you don't want to come with us?" He raised his eyebrows with sly smile.

"And stuck with all of you for 'God's knows' for how long? Nah…I'm passed" Lory pursed her lips.

Fargo and the other chuckles listening to her sarcastic comment, well they don't really want her to come anyway. It's too dangerous she would be safer inside the protection of the L'markieth although stay 'safe' is not one of her skills but nonetheless she still safer here than out there with them.

Fargo opens his arms "Then, give me a bear hug" he smiled widely.

Lory stifles than she hugs the big man in front of her "Protect them well..." Lory whisper on him.

"Of course, you too Princess, don't do anything I wouldn't" he kissed her head lovingly, she is more like a sister then superior for him, deep down he also feel very reluctant to leave her behind.

"Oh, that's mean I can do a lot of thing?" She teased, Fargo patted her head with warning eyes but only make Lory giggles.

Fredhard also give her a hug "Don't forget to clean up you're gear, stay inside and stay safe and if you need anything don't do anything own you're owned" he nagged her while hugging her make the moment between them less sad more to annoying.

"Yes, yes, yes….geez, till the last moment don't you?" Lory rolls her eyes exasperatedly.

Fred let go his hug "I'm serious!" he stared at her deeply "Don't make me worry, or we all come back for you!" he warned her sternly.

Lory nods her head "Got it!"

Jay launch himself to give Lory a big hug, its surprised her but she laugh afterward, Jay rest his chin on her shoulder he closes his eyes tightly to feel her warmed, somehow he misses her already because he is an only child he considers Lucas and Lory as his sibling and not just a royalty he need to protect.

"I will miss you, Lory," he snorted to hold the upcoming tears.

"I'll miss you too Jay" Lory patted the back of his head.

Jay reluctantly let her go then he secretly wiped the corner of his eyes, Lory feel warmed and heart-ache watching him then she shifts her gaze to red hair boy not far from her, the tall boy looking at her with a conflicted expression.

Lory tilted her head and smile at him "So, will you give me a hug or not?"

Clift take her outstretched hand shyly and give her a gentle hug "You must take care of yourself when I'm leaving" he whisper on her ear "And please don't try to cook anything when I'm not here…." He said jokingly, one of Lory short-coming is that she can't cook other then passable barbeque she can't cook anything else.

Lory squint his eyes "I will not dare…"

After they give there farewell they get inside the hummer leaving Lucas and Lory private time, Lucas takes a deep breath and Lory smiles calmly at him "Well…." Lory shrugs her shoulder.

Lucas scratch his nosed "Yeah…" he said briefly.

"Don't do anything stupid!" Lory than said.

"I can say the same thing for you" he refuted.

"Listened to Fargo and the others….even Jay, when it come to you're safety not even Jay wouldn't take that lightly" she strongly reprimand him.

"I know…." he moan.

"Come back safely…" she said with a worried smile.

Lucas let out a long sigh, she smiles gently at her than hug her, its a long and warm hug, her eyes turn moist she blinks her eyes a few times to hold her tears, she hugs him tighter she doesn't know if they're any chance for her to hug him again.

Finally, Lucas let her go he saw her try to calm herself she forces herself to remain calm and softly smile at him, Lucas also force himself to be calm, he didn't know if he make it out this trial alive or when he would see her again.

"See you later sis…" he said with bitter smile.

Lory nod herself with smile "See you later Bro…"
