Standing still, Aisha's long black hair bounced back as she stopped to a halt, looking straight at Luna.
"Ah," she mumbled as Theo stopped in his tracks, his arm reached towards her.
Blinking, she looked at Nyx, who with all his might was trying to hold back his laughter. Looking to the side at Luna—the reason for her being here—a stream of blood trickled down out of her nose. Aisha's eyes opened wide. Blood… No, No one should see it!
She moved to Luna's side and knelt, her voice a forced calm that barely concealed a frantic edge. "What can I do for you, my lady?"
With a smile, Luna said, "I need to change my clothes. Brother said we were going to train endurance!"
"Alright, my lady," Aisha said with a bittersweet smile, adding in a whisper, "My lady, blood is trickling down your nose."
"Ah…" Luna gasped as she wiped the blood off her upper lip with one sweep of her hand. "Thank you," Luna added, her eyes gently squinting as the corners of her mouth rolled into a smile.
"Then I'll lead you, my lady. Please follow me, okay?" Aisha said while standing up, awaiting Luna's answer.
"Mhm," she said with a gentle hum.
"Then please follow me." With that, Luna fell into step behind her. Aisha could feel her gaze—a piercing, confused stare that made Aisha's face begin to blush.
As they passed Nyx, Aisha briefly stopped her bow and said, "Good morning, Young Master Nyx."
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Luna shaking her head as if brushing off a foolish thought.
Nyx, calming himself down, simply added, "Yes, good morning."
Then he cast a glance at Luna, saying, "I'll wait for you in the garden."
Luna nodded, and both of them walked out of the room down the corridor, as back into the distance, Theo followed behind them.
…
Pushing the doors open, Aisha let Luna go in first into the room, then she walked in, thinking, Young master Nyx didn't see it. Frowning, she looked at Luna as she walked into the room. Thank Goddess, He didn't see it.
"Mhm, My lady! What clothes are you looking for?" Aisha said with a cheerful smile and warm, eager gaze while clearing her throat.
"Something comfortable to run in," Luna answered, walking to the sofa and sitting in.
"Of course, my lady! I'll bring it to you," Aisha turned to Luna and placed her hand on her chest, saying, "I'll choose something perfect, perfectly suited for you!"
With a grin, she turned and walked into the closet. Stepping in, she cast a glance around and found the perfect clothing.
She grabbed it off the hanger and rushed out, saying, "My lady, I have it! I, your personal maid, picked the perfect clothing!"
She came out of the closet holding a crisp ivory blouse beneath a fitted black waistcoat, silver buttons gleaming, with checked trousers and the dark cravat.
"Isn't it perfect, My lady?" Aisha beamed with excitement; she smiled from ear to ear while looking at Luna, holding the clothes in front of her.
Luna looked straight at her, turning around on the sofa. With a simple look at Aisha, she said with a soft smile, "I don't need to look, I trust you." With that, she stood up, jumped over the sofa, and landed gracefully on her feet.
She walked up to Aisha and extended her arms to each side, saying cheerfully while copying Aisha's tone, "Then Aisha, please dress me!"
Chuckling, Aisha responded with a sad frown, "Of course!"
…
Correcting the cravat, Aisha pushed it in and stepped back. "You look Perfect my lady!"
"You think so?" Luna said, looking down at her clothes. Glancing up at Aisha, she grinned, exposing her teeth and her eyes close as well.
"Ah… Thank you…" Aisha's face turned beet red, her eyes bouncing off Luna away from her.
"Is that so?" Luna said, moving closer to Aisha with each step while looking at her.
"Ah… Yes! Yes!" Aisha closed her eyes and looked as far away as she could, her whole face emanating happiness, But a strike of guilt casted a slight frown on her face.
"Then, Good! Hehe," Luna added.
Ah, my lady! You shine like a goddess!
"Well then Aisha, let's go to the garden, to Brother."
Hearing her words, Aisha brushed off her embarrassment, slapping her cheeks with both of her hands. She turned towards Luna, her cheeks red from the slap she did. "Of course, should I lead the way?"
Luna nodded as Aisha walked in front towards the garden.
May the goddess be with you, my lady! Ah! I can't wait to see her run around! It's been years since she exercised! I'm so excited! Aisha thought.
Thinking that, they both walked down the corridor, leaving the room open as Theo closed it with his black armor, concealing himself into the shadows.
