Torches [LUKE]

(Just before the snow fall.)

Olive found herself unable to rest after her experience within the clock town. She was craving adventure, unable to find it she took to wandering the town. She missed Steel but knew he wouldn't come back to Termina. He seemed uncomfortable enough the first time around, and the weather was beginning to get colder. Harsh winds, had begun to blow. You'd think someone like Olive would be used to the sharpness of wind. She was not however, he arms wrapping around her shoulders as she walked. The wind here is rather cold, unlike the warmth within the sky. 

Olive made her way up a set of stairs, her ears enjoying the euphony of  music. Some ladies were dancing, their shadows extending along the buildings as the torch light licked their skin. Olive watched momentarily before turning away. They made her feel.. self conscious. She chuckled then, rather loudly. How stupid to be self conscious, I did not come to the surface to impress men. I came to wield sword.

She stayed watching however, not the women but rather their shadows. Olive was not one to deny herself beauty. She looked up to the sky, the sun was nearly gone. The sky a beautiful crimson pink, she smiled softly. Everything looks so different here. The sun kissed her hair, making it appear a golden brown. She looked quiet beautiful, unaware the torch light was kissing her own skin. She was beautiful, head titled to the sky, torch light upon her face along with that small smile. She stood near the entrance to North Clock town, back towards to corner, shadows filling the space between.

Luke locked up the shop and sighed in satisfaction. He had a long day and it was finally time for him to get to bed! Well, first he was going to run to the milk bar and get something to drink, and relax. He took big steps walking along the road. He waved to the random faces that passed by, and hummed happily as he hopped up the steps in west clock town. He was taking the long way, sure. But some times there where these cute dancers there and he'd like to watch them when they where out.

But when Luke got there, someone had already beat him. Now NORMALLY this wouldn't be a big deal and he'd just start watching the dancers himself. But Luke couldn't help but realize that the girl there was Angel. Now, he didn't know if that was her real name but it was the girl that had fallen from the sky. He was surprised to still see her there, and he quickly ran over and waved. "ANGEL!~" He shouted, breaking the beautiful sounds of the night.

"How are you doing? You're still not broken or anything right?"

Someone was screaming in Olive's ear again. It sounded vaguely familiar. She turned to be faced with his concern. She was feeling a bit awkward for having startled so easily, she tried to focus on his words. "Broken..? I apologize but I do not understand what you mean." She didn't understand why he cared, they had only met once and she was quiet rude to him. 

She sighed, ah well to each their own, she guessed. She figured she should try and be nice this time, but she found it difficult to talk with people. What if she just pretend he was an animal? That might work.. maybe. "Uhm. Why are you out here, the shops are all closed.. oh th-the dancers." She blushed, goodness this is awkward. I can talk to my mom just fine, why not him? She turned her gaze away from him and stared at her feet, feeling very uncomfortable.

Luke blinked "Well you fell from heaven, right? So you should be a little beat up, you're feeling better now I hope?" He asked looking her over again. "Where are your wings by the way, miss angel?" He asked curiously walking to her back and looking at them, disappointed at not finding anything. Sighing he looked back at her face. "Ah, I just closed up my shop and I was on my way home but then I saw the beautiful angel again and wanted to say hello!" He said.

Sticking his hand out he smiled "I'm Luke." He commented, but he was already on to the next thought after he looked over at the cute dancers and shrugged. "Yeah, the dancers are super good at their job too!" he nodded "I like coming and seeing them." He rubbed the back of his head slightly embarrassed. "They're super pretty, just like you Angel~"

Olive hadn't realized anyone had seen her fall, "Oh, you saw me fall," she blushed, feeling a bit awkward. Gosh he was in her space. "I came not from heaven but from Skyloft, I'm not an angel, I am a knight." She straightened her back as she said this, patting her hilt. "That is why I do not have wings." She nodded as he introduced himself, not extending the same courtesy. "Thank-you for your kind words." Shuffling her feet she mused why he had not yet gone home. "I understand you are infatuated with my appearance and thus decided to converse with me, but do not let me interfere with your routine of heading home."

Luke was visibly disappointed to hear the girl was not a real angel, but it was fine to him. She didn't have to be an angel for him to like her. Picking himself back up again "Ah, but that's okay you'll still be an angel to me!" He spoke happily. "And I don't mind talking to a pretty girl before I go home, it's super worth it, and it's not only cause you're pretty, but I'd like to get to know you too! I bet you're a pretty cool person, falling from Skyloft and all! Why'd ya leave miss?" He asked, almost talking to much.

"Especially if you're a knight, knights are super cool! I'd like to try to be one, but I think I'm better at making keys and stuff, you understand? I don't think I'd make a good one." He said nodding, hoping that she'd let him keep talking. "You have enough money for a room at the inn don't you? It's getting cold, don't wanna freeze. You can stay with me if you want! but if you don't wanna stay with a boy I get it, I could be a villain or something.. I'm not but I could be.. but here's money for a room in case you need it!" He spoke, taking out a bag of money and handing it to her. "If you need anything else let me know!"

The boy just talked and talked, it made Olive's head spin, how was she supposed to react? Politely of course, but with his constant chatter she soon lost track of the things he had said. He asked her why she left Skyloft, but shouldered it off.. another thing lots in his words, when really she just didn't believe he cared.

She was startled by him saying he could stay with her, tempting as it would be free, but company? Awkward. Then money was jinglng before her! "Oh, thank-you for the offer. Please keep it though." The weather had begun to get colder, winter was coming up, but it was warm enough for her to still sleep outside. There was no point spending money for the luxury of a bed and she felt weird taking a strangers money. She laughed as a thought passed through her head, maybe she didn't want to leave his company yet.

Luke shook his head, grabbing Olive's hand and forcing the money in her palm. "NO! I insist, please. I have to much money then what I know what to do with." He laughed, backing away so she couldn't give it back. "Seriously it's like you're doing me a favor I hate having money, I never know what to do with it, so if you take it it'll help a lot." He said, honestly beleiveing it was for the better.

"But hey, I do have to get going since I gotta get up tomorrow and open the store and make keys and stuff you know? But I'd REALLY like to see you again sometime, cause you're real pretty and stuff, ya know? So you should come by my shop, it's right down the way." He said pointing to a building with a big key sign in front of it. "Anyway, come over tomorrow some time and I can take you on a date or something if you want, if not we can just talk." He said with a nod, then running off and waving. "See you soon Angel!"
