The Lady of The Water

Aiden looked around then slyly grabbed the S-Class request from the job board. He tried calmly walking towards the exit but was too excited to stay tranquil and practically bounded with each step. Just as he was about to leave through the doors, a small dagger flew past his nose and into the wooden door frame. He stopped and turned to face Nova who was twirling another knife between her fingers with ther feet propped on the table..

"Whatchya got there, Aiden?" she asked but her eyes made it clear she knew what he was up to.

Aiden sighed as he walked up to her and handed over the job. Nova quickly scanned over it. A few seconds later her boots smacked the ground as she stood up and grabbed her pack.

"Cool. Let's go." she said.

"Wait what? Why do you think you're coming?" Aiden questioned.

"S-Class jobs require and S-Class mage so I get to come with. Plus there's a siren so you'll definitely need me. I'll just be there for back up and to watch over you."

Aiden raised his eyebrows considering he stood quite a bit taller than Nova. "I don't think I'm the one looking up in this situation." he joked.

Nova turned pink from slight embarrassment and kick his knees out on her way past him.

"Now who's looking up?" she yelled back, sprinting out of the guild. Aiden got up and raced after her, catching up quickly.
