"It’s easy being brave when you’re stronger than any human will ever be and you can cast spells with your mind, taking everyone by surprise. You are just a human, yet when the Odi were on the rampage and everyone, me included, only wanted to save their own skin, you kept a level head.
"You found a way to shut down the Reactor and kicked me in the nuts to risk your life alongside your friends.
"That’s the moment I stopped being envious of Verhen for having such a cool girl in his life and decided I wanted to at least try to be worthy of the affection of a person like you.
"I may have gone overboard accepting your mother’s assignment, but when I heard that you didn’t cut Lith off even after seeing him go all out, I thought that maybe you would have accepted me as well." Morok shapeshifted into his Tyrant form, looking at her reaction and pleasantly noticing that Quylla didn’t flinch.
"As Baba Yaga told you, I was born a human-Emperor Beast hybrid but I relinquished my human nature just because it made my life easier. That said, here are a few things you should know about me.
"I spent so much time alone that I have forgotten the basics of social interaction, I’m rude, and my mouth moves faster than my brain. If after hearing all this you are still willing to go out with me, I promise you that I’ll do my best to make the experience as less unpleasant as I can."
Quylla finished healing him in silence, pondering Morok words. On the one hand, the way he had described her was beyond charming, pointing out qualities that Quylla herself had never thought of having.
On the other hand, Morok was really rude, he clearly found Friya hotter than Quylla, and he wasn’t even human. Just a faceless white thing full of eyes that looked way less cool than a Wyrmling and more out of a small child’s nightmare.
"Thanks for your kind words. I’m really flattered by your attentions-"
"I’m feeling a "but" incoming." Morok sighed. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"-But I’m really busy right now, I’ve barely got the time to sleep." Quylla said.
"Sure, no problem." Morok got back on his feet with a kip-up and started to weave a Warp Steps. Prolonging his stay would only make things more awkward than they already were.
"If you give me your contact rune, we can set up a date as soon as soon as Master Faluel gives me a day off." Quylla took her communication amulet out of her dimensional item.
’Mom is right and so is Friya. If I don’t date, I can’t find anyone. Maybe getting out of my comfort zone is exactly what I need right now. Worst case scenario, I’ve only wasted a few hours of my life.’ She thought.
"Gods, yes! I did it! She said yes!" Morok clenched his fists in triumph and made strange gestures before remembering Quylla was still there. "I mean, sure thing. Call me whenever you want, I’m unemployed so I’ve got lots of free time."
He mistook her stupefied gaze for scorn, so he rushed to say:
"I mean, I’m between jobs. I don’t plan of sitting on my ass for long..." While he rambled an excuse after the other, Quylla sighed and exchanged their contact runes.
"Now you’d better go. Master Faluel is about to start her lesson." She said.
