The Cryier

Following our last post, the day after, the Water Bearer again went to say goodbye to the Cryier. Since we weren't planning to return to Jily anytime soon, I went with hem to the Cryier's house. But on our way there, we met hem on the road, so the three of us went into a nearby cafe to have our last talk.

TC: I've heard quite a lot about you.

TT: Really. That's nice. :>

WB: So tell us, how are things going?

TC: The mourning ends tomorrow, so I'll start working again the day after. Thanks for coming all the way to Jily just because of me.

WB: It'd be rude of us not to.

TC: *with a low voice* ... 'us'? What's se got to do with me?

WB: Did you say something?

TC: No, nothing. :) I wish we could talk in private though, just the two of us. *glancing at the Twins*

The Water Bearer and I looked at each other. I shrugged and we smiled.

WB: Sorry, but today is our last day here, so we're both here to bid you goodbye.

TC: Last day? You mean.. you're leaving again?

WB: Yeah, we need to get back now. The rest of us are waiting.

TC: Who?

WB: Our companions.

TC: And I'm not?

TT: No.

TC: *glares at the Twins* I wasn't asking you.

TT: *laughs*

WB: It's true. The Twins was joking, but I'm not. You're a friend, you're not my comrade.

TC: *angry* Fine. So my status IS lower than people like hem. *glaring*

WB: Exactly.

TC: You must be the one who made hem like this.

TT: Probably. I'd hate to make you upset, but I'd hate it more to intrude where I shouldn't be, so I chose to let hem be the way se is.

TC: You think you shouldn't intrude yet you can't even consider about leaving us alone??

TT: I think you've had enough time alone. ;)

TC: !!.... sure. We had a nice time alone last night, just the two of us. *proudly*

WB: Shut up!

TC: *ignoring* Let me tell you that we had the best time in our lives once you're out of sight. The way se held me yesterday told me that you're not as great as you think you are.

TT: Oh, was it fun taking over what's not rightfully yours?

TC: Totally.

WB: *panicks*

TT: Relax. I'm not jealous at all.

TC: Oh you're so sure?

TT: Definitely. :>

TC: With an attitude like that, anyone can take hem away from you anytime. And I'll show you exactly how that will happen one day.

The Water Bearer looked uneasy, so I draped my arm around hem and held hem close to me.

TT: What are you so worried about?

WB: You're really serious about that?

TT: About what?

WB: When you said that you wouldn't mind if I stayed over at hes house.


TT: Of course I'm serious.

WB: I thought for a moment that you were angry..

TC: Wait just a minute! What are you talking about?!

TT: *ignoring the Cryier* Look, I'm serious about that, so don't you go off worrying yourself like that. What should I do if you fall sick from stress? *teasing*

WB: *relieved sigh* Coz it's not something to joke about.

TC: Don't you ignore me!

TT: My bad, my bad. What was your question again? XP

WB: *giggles at the Twins' carefree attitude*

TC: You...!!

TT: Calm down. Anger isn't good for you. And we're in public, so don't attract any unnecessary attention.

TC: *with a loud voice* How can I-?!

Before the Cryier could finish hes sentence, the Water Bearer knocked hem unconscious and we carried hem outside. We took hem to hes house and waited till se regained consciousness.

TC: You... you really hit me??

WB: Was there any other option?

TC: Then what was last night? How can you be so kind to me yesterday but so cruel as soon as this &%!# is with you??

WB: Then I regret whatever happened last night. Take it that nothing ever happened!

TC: Nothing? Nothing?? Sure, after I tell this &%!# what you did with me!

TT: Spare me. I already know every little detail.

TC: Oh are you sure? You don't want to know why se didn't return last night?

TT: Sure. Se asked my permission, and I gave hem.

WB: In other words, the Twins was the one who encouraged me to stay over. Had it been just me, I would've left as soon as I tell you the truth about me.

TC: *too shocked too say anything*

TT: Think we said too much?

WB: Nah. Se wants the truth so much, we should give hem. *sneering*

At this point I could see that the Cryier was thinking about going to the kitchen and cutting hes wrist.

TT: It'd be troublesome if se kills hemself though. We need to get back early.

WB: Yeah, getting the police all around us will delay us for too long. So, farewell. See you again, if I ever return to Jily.

As the Water Bearer got out the front door, I walked up to the Cryier and looked at hem in the face.

TT: We came here with good intentions, but you spoiled it yourself. Try to accept the truth next time. *grabbing hes shoulder* You're really cute, but it would be nicer if you could try being a nicer person. ;D

After I said that, the Cryier broke down crying on the floor. I felt like I could do nothing more there, so we left Jily. And that's how the Cryier got hes name.

I wasn't expecting much, but about a week after that the Cryier called the Water Bearer on the phone. I didn't ask hem what they talked about, but I do know that since then se blocked the Cryier's number on hes cell. I know se would return one day though. For now, I don't need to worry about rivalries. >D
