he covered his arm with his other healthy hand and pressed on it hoping to somehow relive some of the pain and tried to play cool
" Let's go take a walk "
Avner took her arm in his and escorted her
Taking walks is what she always did with him when he was feeling down as a kid
" lets eat "
Avner asked me to go out with him, it looks like I have made him worry….that was not my intention
" I really want to drink some wine….you know I have lost quite some blood and wine is good for regenerating new blood, chough,cough, its for medical reasons and not because I am an alcoholic or something "
He was just like his mother, its like I went back in time
" haha, did you know that you are just like your mom ? "
I don't usually speak of her with Avner but today I just felt like talking about her
" mom….? "
I could see he was taken aback by the sudden question, Avner knew Mira was not his real mother but she raised him like her own son
" Yes, when we were younger I would also take your mom on walks like this after she had hurt herself and she would come with absurd excuses just like you do, only to be able to put some alcohol into her system "
I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of it, it's like it had happen only just yesterday
" Would mom get hurt a lot back then ? "
" Hmmm….let me think about it….well she definitely did "
" Was she also like me "
poor baby he thinks his mom had to struggle with the consequences of not having powers as well in a cruel world who only likes to show just how strong they are
" No. She was quite strong she would just get hurt on purpose so I could spend more time with her "
she really did that I should have spent more time with her back then….
" Really ? "
" Mhm "
" What did she look like ? "
seeing how curious he was about his mother made me quite happy….I should've talked more about her with Avner….he didn't show it but he really missed her too
" Well if you want me I can show you how she looked like "
" You can do that ? "
I took out my pocket mirror and showed his reflection to him and I could see his confusion
" You look just like her "
****
" Nephthys !! "
Amabilis looked for Nephthys like desperate, which at the time he was
" Nephthys !! "
" Oh god please tell me she is still here "
Amabilis hoped that she did not leave just yet
and then as a miracle he finally saw her, the only problem was she was with Duchess Mira right now
" Amabilis what happened "
Mira was the one to ask after she heard him scream
" ahh….well….you see "
he was lost, he did not know how to answer the question since he knew that someone was going to be in trouble if he were to say anything
" I will have to excuse myself, I hope we can talk another time "
Nephthys bowned to Mira
" I also hope to talk with you some more, feel free to come to me more often "
the Duchess informed her and left them alone
After making sure his aunt was at an appropriate distance Amabilis exploded again
" Nephthys, thank god you are still here "
" What is it ? "
" You should better see for yourself "
Amabilis then took her to the scene of crime and there was the crime. A drunk Avner swimming in the river that was near their house the same river Nephthys had thrown him in and tried to drown him in
" What happened ? "
she asked
" Well he had some drinks with aunty already and didn't tell me about it and then asked me to have a drink with him also…. and now he is in the state he is now
Nephthys sighed then used the same technique to get him out of the water as last time
*blop*
Avner landed on the bridge aggressively
"Auw"
and it hurt
***
Avner was tossing in his bed as if in pain, he finally decided to open his eyes
" AAAHHH !
but was about to close them forever for he almost got a heart attack
Amabilis was a few inches away from his face
" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME ?! "
Avner tried to regain his composure and calm his heart down a little and while doing that he was surprised by Amabilis once again
*smack*
he smacked his head
" What the hell was that for now ? "
Avner was getting irritated since he already had a headache
" Are you an idiot ? "
Amabilis asked
" ME? "
Avner was flabbergasted at the nerves he had to still be the one to complain after all that had just happened to him in the span of seconds
" You don't remember what you did last night, don't you ? "
Amabilis asked
" What? what could I possibly have done so bad for you to give me such a wonderful morning "
" Sigh ...I can't believe this guy ...Didn't I tell you to play hard to get but why did you throw yourself at Nephthys completely last night ? "
now he was awake
