The Aurian Chronicles - Chapter 4

 Chapter 4: Flawless advice!


Silver Marched upstairs to the bedroom and kicked open the door with just the right amount of strength to make an entrance without damaging the door “Hi honey I’m home!” she teased as she saw Darkness ironing her newest design, he rolled his eyes and kept working. “Hey dear, almost done finishing up!” he said in a fake happy voice as he got the last bit of wrinkle out of the stunning dress. Silver giggled slightly as she simply kissed his cheek “You know hun, if you would consult with me between kills, you wouldn’t be on the hook for this kind of work.” she told him as she casually got naked with the shades open to shine the sun on her beautifully radiant silver skin and angelic white hair. Darkness just kept at his ironing “Oh yeah babe, I’ll just make sure to call between every kill, that’s definitely time efficient!” He said with a sarcastic chuckle. Silver just grunted and unplugged the iron when his work was acceptable “You know… You don’t need to work so hard, Mr Caprese said himself you have so much vacation time built up you could take a six-month paid vacation” She started, knowing full well Darkness hated this conversation. Darkness just pinched the bridge of his nose “For the last time dear…. I’m FINE! All I gotta do is waste some assholes, and the occasional security work or odd job… besides what would I do with that kind of time off hm?” He asked as he snuggled into her gently, though the devilish grin she was sporting gave him every clue he needed to know what her first thought was. Taking pity on him, however, she sighed and curled her toes in thought “Don’t you think it’s time you visited Xaldin Honey? I know your feeling on the matter are strong but… he needs you.” Darkness wanted to yell at the ‘X word’ but Silver, although he hated to admit it, had a point. “I know I should…. But the man I spent years within the Army is gone… the medic even said himself I should move on.” He tried to argue, though the tone in his voice told her how disgusted with himself he felt saying it. “Okay DEREK, tell me this… if you truly think that’s wise, why in the hell are we in.. as you put it yourself ‘Cold ass, boring ass, fucking ass, New fucking YORK?’ I could easily move my work to Florida, and you couldn’t KEEP Lyte from her home state… so I’ll leave you with this… if you try to cast him aside… it’ll eat away at you for the rest of your life… I’m going to go eat lunch Naked on the patio.” She said as she headed downstairs. Darkness sighed as his hair went from purple to its normal black “I both hate and love when she’s right…. What do YOU all think?” he asked as he turned to his hallucinations of all his dead military friends, to him they all just sneered at him and berated him. “Yeah, I thought so…. Xaldin? It’s a date” he said as he grabbed a large bottle of illegal moonshine out of his personal freezer, it was going to be a LONG night.
