Selena Anando pt 6
Ariel and Rei looked somewhat awkwardly at each other for a while, smiled and chatted about little things, embarrassed. The feeling just began to lift when the clock struck 11 and all fell silent. Rei got up slowly, and she arose with him. He faced her smooth face and took off his dragon medallion. "I have to go now…here…My spirit is always with you" he said "be safe..." and left. She fingered the medallion and examined it closer. It was a circle with a dragon inside of it, the dragon had its mouth open and its eyes were ruby-red and had black lines drawn on to emphasize the wings. It looked a terrible sight there in her slender fingers in the pale moonlight. She gently put it on and walked slowly to the First district home.
The next day Ariel didn’t go to mass, she had been for the last several days. At the coffee shop near her house there was an actual band playing and it wasn’t too often that bands would play because they were too loud. This was just a single musician so it was bound to be appropriate. So Ariel went there instead.
The coffee shop had a checker-tiled floor and several large couches and several more tables with red tablecloths placed on them. There was a good portion of the shop that had glass windows and the rest was earth based color and potted plants strewn about the glass windows. She sat down near the front at one of the tables, ordered a coffee and waited patiently for the musician to start.
His name was Alason and he had been playing for most of his adult life, till even now when he was getting “up there”. Ariel was definitely piqued by his attitude, he was warm and friendly and she thought he was cute for some reason.
He had grey eyes, and hair-an older gentleman, with a proper beard too! He was tall but heavier-set and liked to drink a lot as she found out. Underneath all of his sometimes ragged looks he was just lonely. Alason played strange music from a time long-gone that had only been recently researched. Ariel was captivated by it and fell in love with the stranger. Like Rei, though Alason said he would be “around”. How frustrating to have men act that way but little did she know of who was watching her…
