1x1 Jewels of Aether - Starting a new (ShirexTala)

Kiseki jumped in surprise before looking at Kirito. "Oh, I'm sorry..." she muttered. She tried her best to get back near him, but she was still too shaken that she couldn't come closer than usual.

 

Kiseki gasped at Kirito's bold move. She wanted to say something to the words he had spoken earlier, but her attention was completely fixed on his last two sentences, the other ending with a question. Kiseki looked at Kirito in happiness with a slight hint of confusion but replied nonetheless. "Yes, yes of course!" She smiled in glee, "We'll definitely make it there, don't worry!"

 

The girl helped her new fiancé to get up as she looked at the ring. It was pretty and sparkled as she tried to twist her hand. "It's pretty..."

 

(Sure!)

"I don't like it... I love it. Thank you so much," she took Kirito's hands slightly blushing before smiling and turning away. She sighed in contentment and embarrassment as her cheeks were still red.

 

(It's Anistar City, right?)

"It is," Kiseki looked around Flusselles and noticed how vibrant the place was. Merchants passed them by as the two walked into the city further, but Kiseki's attention was fixed on the giant sundial. It was pretty and seemed like it was trying to draw her in.

 

"Hey!" Kiseki yelled as she ran after Kirito. She was certainly having fun running around. She missed this kind of feling that she had without having the fear of meeting a deadline like they had to do when they were back in Kanduin. "I'll catch up with you, you better get ready!"

 

Kiseki really did catch up to Kirito, but it was only because he collapsed. "Kirito!" She called out from a distance as she got closer. She could notice dark energy emanating from him and she began to panic. "Chieri, can you please go get some help?"

[On it,] Chieri nodded as she quickly flew into the distance to look for a healer. Kiseki then returned her attention to Kirito, shaking him. "Kirito? Kirito! Hang in there, help is coming!"

 

"Hold on... Chieri will be back soon," Kiseki said as she gripped Kirito's hand tightly. "Please, don't close your eyes!"

Chieri flew past the streets of the city as fast as she could and quickly asked for help. She could easily make it, but the healer may take some time before she could walk to where Kiseki and Kirito was.

 

Kiseki closed her eyes while still holding Kirito's hand. However, her eyes shot open when she heard Kirito say something. "Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt?" She was very worried and hoped that Chieri would come back soon.

 

(Do you think that Kirito would easily be healed from whatever he is experiencing or would it take some time and he needs to be cleansed or something like that?)

Kiseki looked at Kirito with teary eyes. "Come on Chieri... where are you?" With this thought, she instantly heard the Altaria's voice, flying through the streets with a healer carrying a large staff.

"Oh goodness me," the healer said as she ran over to Kiseki and Kirito. "What seems to be the problem here?"
