BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100: Cunning
"Yes, Kurson," She replied as he rested his hands on her shoulders.
"You are quite cunning," He said, and she chuckled before patting him on the shoulder.
"You should have just accepted to come; otherwise, this would not have happened," She replied.
"Who is this, Lady Nessa?" Dalia inquired as she approached.
"Everyone, this is my dear friend Kurson, he dropped by to see how we were doing and this time decided to stay for dinner," She announced and they all smiled.
They said, "Welcome, Kurson."
"Hello," He replied as Nessa looked at him.
"Kurson," She said.
"What is it now?" He asked as she grabbed him by his arm and placed him to sit with Riki and the others by a table.
"Guys, treat him well, and show him that you are not what people say," She said.
"We can get a little monstrous," Riki replied, smirking, as Dalia tapped him on the back of the head.
"True, but don\'t scare her friend away," Dalia said, and Kurson chuckled.
"It\'s fine, nothing like that will scare me off; I\'m not easily scared, right Nessa?" Kurson inquired.
"I won\'t put that past you, Kurson," She responded and he laughed along with them.
"I think you guys can figure out who the truly monstrous one is around here," Kurson said, and Riki patted him on the shoulder.
"I understand, let\'s eat, is the food nearly ready?" Riki inquired, and Liya turned to face him.
"Don\'t rush us, Riki; do you want to come and cook here?" She asked.
"No thanks, you do your thing, but hurry it up, I am hungry," He responded as her brows twitched and Nessa chuckled as she approached Liya.
"Relax, I will help you guys finish it," Nessa said then Liya smiled and they began finishing off the food.
After a little while, they finally finished and everyone got up to take their own food and Nessa handed Kurson a plate and he smiled at her.
"Thanks, for this and for pulling me here," He said and she chuckled.
"You are welcome, they are lovely, aren\'t they?" She asked and he looked back at then before exhaling deeply.
"They are great, I have never mixed between them before, but now, I get to understand more," He responded as she took her share of the food and then went to sit with the others.
"Are you coming to live here as well, Kurson?" Kurson looked at Zeitaz when he asked.
"I can\'t, not yet, I have responsibilities as well, I have to fulfill them, I can\'t just let them be, I hope to come here to live here someday, that is, if the offer is still valid until then?" Kurson responded as he looked at Nessa, who was eating then she glanced at him and smiled.
"Kurson, as long as this place exists, so does my offer; you are always welcome here; don\'t make me repeat myself time and time again; it will always be a yes," They smiled after hearing her response.
"That\'s good to know," Zeitaz said, "and we\'ll wait for the day when you decide it\'s time for you to live here as well."
"All right, now that that\'s settled, I\'m going to keep eating because I\'m hungry," Nessa replied, and they laughed.
"You need to eat more, that\'s still not enough," Riki said and Nessa looked at him.
"Do I look like an elephant? I can\'t eat too much but give me ice cream and I\'ll eat way more than I should," She responded and he grinned.
"Queen of ice creams, will we get that here as well?" Dalia asked and Nessa smiled.
"I will bring all of those things to you guys and more, as well as the best food, I have a lot to show you guys, but we have time, we will go slow, for the time being, we will go one by one snd two by two," They nodded as she responded.
While Nessa finished eating her food, she stretched off and she smiled.
"Are you sleepy?" Kurson asked and she glanced at him.
"Nope, just feeling a bit lazy, it\'s been a while since I haven\'t had much to do to be honest, now, where am I heading next within this land?" She asked.
"We\'ll figure that out later, but for now, I think you should catch your breath," Tehitos responded, and Nessa sighed, knowing she needed to rest because she had been doing too much with little break lately.
"You are right, I will just relax a bit and continue building in the meantime, we are going to take it slow," She said and they nodded.
"Are you staying the night, Kurson?" Dalia inquired, and he sighed.
"I\'ve been gone for a while now without saying anything to anyone, so no, unfortunately, I can\'t," He replied.
"Do you have a family?" When Nessa asked, he looked at her.
"I\'m not sure how to respond to that one right now, but please accept my apologies." She sighed and patted him on the shoulder after hearing his response.
"You overthink a little too much," She said and he smiled.
"You are not mad?" He asked.
"I have no reason to be angry; it only takes a few more to make me angry," She responded, and he chuckled before they got up.
"Well, I have got to head back now, it\'s getting too late," He said and she smiled.
"We understand, get back safely, sorry for tricking you as well," She replied and he scoffed.
"It\'s fine, there is no need to apologize, I had fun hanging out with you guys, something different for a change so thanks," He said.
"You are welcome, I hope to see you again, soon bro," She replied.
"I hope to see you guys soon as well, until then I hope you all take care and please be careful, a lot has changed already, especially here, bye," He said with smiled and patted her on the shoulder before disappearing.
