Miu-ka finally stops, and puts forth a hand invitingly. “It is just ahead.” She giggles quietly, and waves around a sickle. “Now, get your weapon ready. It won’t be easy in there.” Her eyes paled, and her smile was disturbingly hard to read. “But if it gets too rough, don’t worry… I’ll help you.”

I’m horrified, yet I’m attracted… What the heck is wrong with me?!

“Oh, well, if you want, you can go to the arena… and if you win, you will get a reward…probably a weapon.” She smiles brightly, grabbing for his hand. “I’ll take you there.” The door opens with a menacing creak, but Miu-ka walks with a skip in her step.

Crap, crap, crap, crap!

“Trust me, I hate my scent too. Do you think I want to smell like those disgusting things?” Once again true, I hate being a human… or being associated with the bad ones.

The girl tilts her head all the way to the side. “Are you sure, because if you are human, and you are lying to me…” Her small fingers wrap around something at her side. It has an edge that glints in the light.

Zeran starts thinking immediately. Think fast, think fast!

“Um, hello? I’m not human. I’m a… a Dandy! We fight better than the humans and can outsmart them” Pretty true in my case, I guess. The smell attracts them to me. Again, kinda true… ugh, my school sucked…
