Sharp Eye

Kyrin ran down the street looking left and right. What a time for Breeze to get jealous and run off in a huff. He shook his head at the thought; and the memory that surfaced from it. He was looking at trinkets while the air elemental was summoned. The one he was looking for was a cheap way to create fire so he could summon Ray easier, but the normal magic shops were a bit more expensive than he expected.

He didn’t even look up as a young woman kept her gaze on him. But Breeze saw, and he could almost feel the hot air coming off her. He as a loud snap occurred near his ear, followed by a sharp sting on his earlobe. Looking up he saw Breeze flying off in a huff, and finally acknowledged the woman as well. Looked like one who could mean trouble if he spoke to her.

He gave her his best smile to a stranger, meaning one that was forced almost to the point of breaking. It was enough to get the woman to look away uncomfortably. With a sigh Kyrin turned and looked in the direction Breeze flew. It was like she wished she was the only one who could look, but that was impossible.

Now he was running to find the renegade elemental. He couldn’t sever the contact with her, as she held on tightly to the connection. Already he could feel his magic draining faster, but that was good. He could tell where the pull was coming from. Following it he saw a flying transparent creature just ahead of him. With a burst of speed, given to him by Breeze herself, he made a silent leap and grabbed her in cupped hands.

Like any startled and grabbed creature she fought with a vengeance. He felt several sharp stings on his fingers and palms as she tried to escape. But they weren’t as bad as they could be if she had access to all the air outside. ”Calm down Breeze. It’s me. The elemental stopped struggling, but Kyrin could still feel the heated anger coming from her. It was almost as bad as the stings. ”You know I can’t talk to other women well, even the ones I know. So there’s no need to get angry about it.” The anger seemed a little less, but wasn’t gone completely.

”Anyways, we can’t talk here. I’ll call you when we get back to the guild.” A small peep was the only protest as Kyrin ran his finger along her spine. It was a sensation that caused her to shiver, and she lost her focus on the bond between them. With a small exert of will he broke the bond and opened his hands. Breeze disappeared in a translucent puff of green. Kyrin let out a sigh.

Looking to his right he noticed the pizza place. A small smile touched his lips as he headed inside. The chase was enough to make himself thirsty, and the magic drain made him famished. He found a chair and sat down. The waiter came over with a slightly sour expression on his face, but it couldn’t have been for Kyrin. He hadn’t even smiled yet. And then he noticed a lot of people could have seen him from the shop chasing a fairy looking thing that disappeared in his hands. Many would have questions, but few would ask. He cleared his throat. ”I’d like a large glass of water and a medium pepperoni please.” He gave the young man a smile, and that was enough to get the man to walk away quickly. It was his best smile to strangers.
