“Cute!” she repeated, laughing through her grin. 

“--Pretty!” he answered, pointing at her. A compliment for a compliment! Was this a game now?

“Oh…?” She was confused, but then she just giggled again. “Of course. We have so much in common! It’d be weirder if we didn’t have the same first love too!”

And she really was relieved. Without a doubt, Pefko was the only person who could really share her grief about losing him. “Yeah, these stars… really are nice.” She wiped a single tear from her cheek and smiled. Her emotions were so complicated right now…

Pefko could see the relief in her eyes, it was the same as his. And when he saw tears threatening to fall from those eyes, he respectfully looked away from her and back up at the skies. Sometimes it was better not to mention these things. He just sighed and spoke again, like the heavy topic never came up at all.   

“Yeah. The stars are beautiful tonight. Just like we’re beautiful, Agasha.”

“The brand new Pisces saint wouldn’t dodge a simple poke like that?” She giggled too, taking a cautious but playful step back. 

And then, she was running and laughing. “It doesn’t if you can’t catch me, Master Pefko!”

“The brand new Pisces saint was caught off guard by the brilliant apprentice healer! It can’t be helped! She’s too strong!” He grinned and chased after her, not going anywhere near full speed.

“But I’m not done yet! Prepare yourself, Agasha!” He tried to sound serious and warrior-like, but he was laughing too much for that.

“Your apprentice…” She couldn’t imagine what shoes they had to fill together, since she didn’t know enough about Pefko or what bound him to Agasha. Something about her flowers, maybe…

She just fixed him with a Look. “Okay. Don’t make your student sad. Don’t let her down. You better never let her forget the way she feels about calling her master. That in itself is a lot for you to fill.”

“Sad?”

“Agasha can be gloomy and unsure of herself sometimes, but I don’t think I’m going to make her sad. I’m Master Pefko now! I have to be there for her like my master was there for me.” Until the whole... Well, even then. “I’m gonna do my best for both of us.”

“Really, now.” Not even a question, it was an observation, a smirk, a raised eyebrow, folded arms. But definitely not a question.

Whatever he was hiding, he wondered if Agasha was hiding the same thing. Just a little more quietly on her end.

“That’s a suspicious reaction. Maybe I should test out my old mind powers and see what it is you could be hiding. It doesn’t sound good…” she teased.

“R--really!” It didn’t sound like she was asking, but he answered strongly anyway. He frowned and stared her down.

Even though she could be really scary. Even when they were your friends, girls were so weird!

“I won’t fall for mind powers no matter what! Never ever ever! You just have to trust me not to be the bad guy or something!”

Pefko grins/smiles at Celintha.

Celintha grinned right back.

“What’s that mischievous grin you have, Pefko?”

His happiness was, without exaggeration, infection. But he was so open and out there, sometimes Celintha couldn’t help but worry about the kid.

“I hope it’s good news and not a dangerous plan you cooked up.”

“Because I am his friend. Nobody would like someone going into a person’s house when that person isn’t home.” It was common sense. “Unless you are his brother or relative but I doubt that since I know Albafica doesn’t have any relatives. Besides, there may be dangerous roses in there or things that Albafica won’t like people touching in there.” Regulus sighed. He was a nosy person? Wasn’t the boy the one being nosy trying to get into a temple when Albafica wasn’t home? “As I said before, I am his friend and entering a gold saint’s temple is a big deal. Gold saints protect their temple for a reason and even other gold saints have to ask permission to pass by each temple. You should understand, don’t you?“ 

Regulus started to follow the boy. He never seen him before and Albafica never mention knowing a boy. In fact, Albafica rarely interact with people that he was surprise that there was someone who knows and want to see him. Did this mean Albafica had a friend? The thought of that made him happy. 

"My name is Leo Regulus? What is your name? How do you know Albafica? Are you a friend of his?”  

“I get it! You think I’m a bad guy or an intruder or somethin’,” Pefko answered, awfully cheerful for someone who was pretty sure he was being incriminated. He didn’t know about the comment on Albafica having no relatives. But then again, Pefko didn’t have any blood relatives either, he was found as a baby in a field, too. “I understand, I’m leaving his temple.”

He would have to finish his errands another time. But Pefko was nothing if not an optimist.

“--You’re Mister Albafica’s friend? What a coincidence! I’m Mister Albafica’s friend too!”

“Pefko’s the name! Healing’s the game!”

Regulus was walking by the Pieces temple when he noticed a young boy outside. Was he trying to go into the temple? That was dangerous! How did he even get past the guards? Usually he won't be worry because Albafica would tell any outsiders to leave but today he was away on a mission. "Stop, it is dangerous!"

Pefko looked back. That definitely wasn’t Mister Albafica’s voice –too young. “Huh! I dunno you!”

He frowned. Then he grinned.

“Heeeeeey! Have you seen a really, really, really beautiful man with blue hair and gold armor and some roses around here? I’m looking for him! I’m pretty sure this is his house, but I don’t see him hanging around anywhere! Oh, oh! I know!”

“Is he hiding inside? He’s kinda shy sometimes, heehee!”

Saro was starting to wonder if Pefko had parents that Saro needed to be prepared to meet, but the question wouldn’t come out. Saro had the orphanage before, so he wouldn’t be used to dealing with parents at a sleepover.

“Just the two of us, right? Just you and… me?” he asked cryptically. “I’ll be sure to bring something for you too.”

“Just you and me! We’ll have the place all to ourselves!” When Saro put it like that, it was almost enough to make Pefko nervous!

“I hope you bring me something cool. You better not forget! We have gotta find a day to do this, I’m about to just explode from excitement already here!” He was bouncing a little again.

“Oh, um,” Saro took labored breaths, but focused on the questions.

“Sweet foods. I like rock-paper-scissors and tag and normal things like that. Soft pajamas? I don’t, and no.” Did he do that in the right order? It was getting hard to focus.

“Sweet foods... hm...” Pefko wanted to Saro that he was sweet too! But he would save that for the sleepover. His secret-keeping was so good.

“I'll handle all that and more! And I’ll show you some exciting games while we’re at it, too! You’ll see, it’ll be so, so, sooo much fun! Anything else you wanna request?”

[pefkooyra-blog]

livewithstrength‌:

“Yeah, as long as I know the way, I’m willing to try for you,” Saro answered automatically. How long had he been at this…?

“Maybe it’s better if I ride there the first time. I wonder get lost that way. Then I can row us back. How good are you are navigating? I can do it at night, since I use the stars, but otherwise I still, um, need practice on that too.”

“I really couldn’t have found a better sparring budding! Oh man, this is so awesome! I’m so excited! Whatever day we do it, I hope it comes soon! I’m going to prepare lots of things to show you!” A sleepover! With his new idol!

“What kinds of foods are your favorite? And what kinda games do you play? What kind of pajamas do you want? Do you need extra pillows? Wanna bring a stuffed animal?”

“All the way to Healer’s Island…” Saro had never been there. He wondered what it was like. Was it full of impressive doctors? Breathe in, down, breath out, up, breathe in…

“How far away by boat? Can we row there? That would be a workout for sure. And navigation practice too.”

“You would row all the way to Healers’ Island to come spend time with me?” This guy... was just cool beyond words. Pefko was stunned.

“It’s a pretty far ride! I can pay for your ticket! We’ll ride in the sailboat together! I swing by to bring medicine and stuff a lot, so I know all the best times to book it.”

“Cool and smart? Wow,” all this admiration was new. Saro didn’t feel like he could turn down the offer after that. He was going to nod as an answer, but that would be hard to see while he was still doing sit-ups.

“Okay. Do you live over in Rodorio Village? Near Agasha?”

“Cool and smart and some other stuff too! I’ll have to run through them all at our sleepover! When can we do it? Soon, I hope!” Pefko shook his head. Then he realized that Saro couldn’t see him.

“Nah, I live a boatride away! I’ll get us there! To Healer’s Island! Whenever you want! We can invite Agasha sometime, but first I want a sleepover with just us boys!”

Not as much training as he should do, or else he would actually have something to show for it. Saro kept that part to himself. He really, really liked being looked up to like this, better not crush the kid’s hope.

“We have some barracks we sleep in together, it’ll be a little crowded. You’re aiming for a gold cloth in secret, so you won’t be joining and training here officially for now, right? How would a sleepover work?”

“Oh! You’re smart, I didn’t think of that! If I want to keep it a secret, then...”

“You can come have a sleepover at my house! We’ll still do some training while you visit, so you won’t be slacking off! That sleepover could work! I can lend you some pajamas and everything! My bed is big enough for both of us!” It had to be, since he used to share it with Master Luco.

“Right here at this spot exactly?” As soon as he said that, the words felt lame coming out of his mouth.

“Um, no, I train wherever. I don’t have a specific place for just me. Sometimes I have to do different training, so there’s that and everything, so…”

“You sound like you do a tooon of training! This’ll be perfect! I’m gonna to my best to keep yp with you! Wherever you are!” Pefko was so excited, it was hard to stay still.

“I can find you here at the sanctuary, right, right? Do you live here? Where do you guys sleep anyways? Can we have a sleepover?”

Saro cracked a smile, and he let himself giggle along with Pefko now. “You’re a little strange, Pefko. But have it your way. One day, you and me are going to fight together.”

Pefko really thought that Saro was good enough for gold or silver. “It will be fun.” And he actually meant it. Weird, usually when he thought of fighting he thought fearfully of just trying not to die.

“Even your laugh is cool! Then for now, you and me are going to spend some time training together!” Pefko was going to keep the counting in his head for a while.

“Do you train right here at this spot most of the time?”
