Master Of None

It would have been nice to say that Walker woke up naturally in the morning. However, as the sun had just begun to rise he felt a heavy weight on his chest and legs. Unsurprisingly, when his eyes opened he found the head of a familiar dragon and a human sized serpent on his legs. There was no sleeping in allowed today. "Good morning you two. I thought you would be excited. Should we get ready?"

Walker had only seen the two move as fast as they did when in battle. Their speed as they rushed toward Lisa's work room was faster than any bird flying or rabbit running. "Midnight! Onyx! Wait for me!" Walker sprinted from his room tossing on a bath robe since he was going to be changing in to his costume as well.

The commotion was enough to wake up anyone that had not gotten themselves moving just yet. Su and Gil emerged from their rooms to barely see Walker running down the hall after a dragon tail while Remey had already headed out to the orphanage to meet up with her siblings to bring them to the square.Â

"Gil, did you decide on a costume last night?" Walker had to ask Gil as soon as he walked in..Â

"I'm still doing the masked archer thing but I will grab the extra black cloak and add some of the extra daggers so I look like a thief or assassin. I think there are even some black gloves that Lisa made over here." Gil decided that just throwing the mask on was not exactly the best after he tried it the night before. He accepted what the others had said and went more in to it.Â

"Here, use the bandage around your arms too. I think if you rub some coal dust on them it will look like you have been sneaking around through the chimney and stuff to get after targets." Gil snatched them up with a grin.Â

"Great idea! The more little things I add the better it will look." He reveled in the costume coming together and before Walker could even say anything he realized just how well it seemed to fit Gil.Â

"You know, maybe you should wear this stuff all the time. It looks way cooler than the whole forest archer thing you had going." Gil looked ready to hit Walker when he checked himself out in the mirror.Â

"I hate you and you're right. But I want to stick with the whole forest archer thing. I think it will make me look more approachable when I visit the forest elf city." Gil was trying a roundabout way not to flat out tell Walker why he wanted to go back to the forest elf city sooner.Â

"You know, you do have the hero title and you are an arcane marksman. I don't think there would be any issues." With this Walker headed in to the changing room to put his own costume on while Gil struggled with what he had just said.Â

"And, the gentleman has arrived!" Walker jumped out to find that Gil had run off in his own head with Midnight and Onyx behind him. "Well, that wasn't cool at all." He started to move toward the stairs only to find someone dressed as a healer outside the food of the work room.Â

"I told you I was going to borrow something that Su's friends gave her. It's healing robes without any of the healing effects so they just look like healing robes. They are perfect for Su to wear when she is helping but with a little stitching they fit me!"Â

Walker couldn't help himself. He rubbed Lisa's head and was even tempted to pinch her cheeks, "And the most adorable healer ever. Did you show mother and father? Or are they already gone?"Â

"I'm A healer. We are important to helping the sick and injured. I can't be adorable." Lisa pretended to pout as they headed down the stairs towards the front door. "But Mother and father already left. They are going on a date since the guards need him later in the night for the dancing. They expect things to be a little rowdy this year." It was understandable. Many people would be celebrating and be under the effect of alcohol.Â

"Well, then we will let them do their own thing. They need some time to themselves since they both have been nonstop working." Walker was perfectly fine with the situation. "Wait...Su, are you dressed up like a dragon kin for real? How did you do that? It's amazing."Â

The sight of Su with scaly gloves and fake horns while wearing dyed armor was an intimidating sight to say the least. "You must have dyed the snakeskin gloves somehow, and the armor. It's so cool." Walker was sure that this was one of the coolest costumes they had in the group. Add Su's shields and she looked like a dragon kin guardian. "The term draconic guardian really fits now."Â

"Lisa did all the work. But thank you. I think this look is very different and will surprise everyone." Su was trying to maintain her serious face as part of the costume but kept breaking in to a smile when she looked at herself.Â

"Su was the one who had the idea to dye it all to match Midnight. By the way, where did Gil go? He was mumbling something about wanting to find a reason to visit the forest again? Or maybe he was saying he wanted to practice archery with the elves? I'm not sure." Lisa was completely lost.Â

"He was lost in his own world and wandered out the door. I have a feeling he will be waiting in the square when someone gets him to come back to reality." Su couldn't help but release a slight giggle.Â

"That was definitely my fault." Walker shared a secretive knowing look with Su as they left the mansion.
