"A-Alright, I might be a little arrogant."
Nux folded.
For some reason, the woman had more effect on him than he would like to admit.
"I didn't think you would admit this either."
The Seer chuckled again, and this time,
"Oh, come on!"
Nux just complained.
"I may be arrogant, but I am reasonable with my allies. If you were an enemy, I would have done anything in my power to try and kill you, if not today, then tomorrow perhaps.
But since you are an ally, I am not ashamed to admit that I cannot defeat you in any way. I am helpless…
For now."
"See? This is the arrogant self I am talking about."
The Seer chuckled and…
'Fuck, I am arrogant.'
Nux had a new realization.
"Alright, alright."
He then shook his head, not wanting to get distracted anymore.
"As I said, I apologize for doubting you before and… also for not saying this earlier."
Nux then stared at the Seer and with an earnest look on his face,
"Thank you."
He expressed his gratitude.
"I thought you were going to confess."
The Seer chuckled.
"Do you want me to?"
Nux questioned back with a smile.
"What kind of man asks that question? You should be more confident in yourself and do what your heart desires. Asking a woman if they want to get a confession before actually confessing shows self-doubt."
The Seer gave a lecture with a genuine smile on her face,
As if she was enjoying their conversation.
"Well, you were the one who brought up confession, so it isn't my fault."
"This is the moment where you usually confess."
The Seer answered, slightly disappointed, but Nux just smiled.
"You should already know wh-"
However, before he could say anything, the woman placed a finger on his lips, forcing him to stop.
"I do not know anything."
She repeated herself, this time, her tone heavier than before, as if she didn't want Nux to forget about it.
"Heh."
Nux laughed at that.
Then, he closed his eyes and sighed.
"If it was a normal scenario, I would have indeed confessed. I would have talked about how I was going to chase you to the end of the universe and wouldn't let you go, but…"
Nux paused for a moment as he stared at the woman again,
"I have this feeling that… you won't be staying with me right now."
The Seer smiled at those words.
"I cannot stay with you right now."
She answered honestly.
"The change will be too big, I cannot afford that.
I might already be ruining things by staying here longer than I intended to, but…
I can't seem to leave."
The woman spoke with a weak smile on her face.
"Maybe my heart desires a few more minutes."
She chuckled. Nux, however, could sense the very slight trembling in her voice.
He gulped, feeling a lump forming in his throat. He, however, controlled his emotions and,
"I cannot stay away from the people I love. I need them next to me, all the time."
"I understand."
The Seer nodded.
