Part 414: Gaius A

So Gaius. Besides being seven feet tall, what else do you look for in a woman? Come on, don't be shy. You can tell me! We're besties now, right?

Listen, kid, how much longer are you going to follow me around? Wait a second. I have an idea... Heh heh heh...

Hey, Nowi. What would you say to a deliciously sweet candied fig?

Oooh, I LOVE sweets! Gimme!

All right. I'll give you this one if you go stand waaaaaay over there.

Okay!

Great. So here's the fig... Now you go do what you promised. Go on, off with you.

Bye! (leaves)

Finally... Peace and quiet at last. I'll just setlle down here and-

Hey, Gaius?

Gya! What are you doing here, kid? You promised to stay away!

...Um, what's this for?

It's a flower! I picked it for you. You know? To say thanks! Hope you like it, Gaius! See you around! (leaves)

Huh. Here I was about to chase her away with the flat of my sword... And all she wanted to do was thank me and then run off again.

.....

I'm going to need more figs.
