Let's try this best friend thing one more time.

We were back at my place sitting in front of a fire, she had a beer and I had tea the same type my mother always liked to make afterwork when we would talk or she'd tell stories.

" all right spill how the hell did you one shot at monster and how the fuck did you heal without your potions."

" mundane but special chakrams, and with my hands" I smiled a little I knew this would rile her up but in a playful way.

I also hadn't lied yet " okay smart ass you know what I mean"

I sighed this is going to be nerve-racking. "my father wanted me to be like him my mom just wanted me to be a safe. -"

" did you somehow manage to get the gifts of two different gods?"

" no, everybody knows that's impossible"

" then what those two skills don't mash there's no God or aspect that I know of that lets you do that all the powers are supposed to mesh conceptually."

" oh so you were paying attention in school."

" I did so what the hell did you do"

" I wanted to be like both of my parents in the stories they told me of their adventuring days everybody told me it was impossible I was too stubborn. Was it too much to want to heal and fight?"

" it's not but the rules don't let you do that. I had to come to terms with that, I had to walk the path laid before me your only option is mundane if you want more, it's why I got so good at stabbing motherfuckers."

" you're pretty close to figuring it out none of the Gods you know but what about ones you don't ?"

"what do-nooo you didn't"

"I did, I found documentation on a forgotten lost God. And I was stubborn and bullheaded enough to push forward before I could get caught, I didn't even know for sure what the initial packed gifts would be if they would even be worth it but I had to try, what would I could decipher of the book showed exactly what I wanted. "

" wait you formed a pact with a god you couldn't even read about? "

" not my smartest moment but before I could decide fully one way or the other my hand was forced, so far it's worked out. "

" okay that's stupid and embarrassing I guess but why hide it at this point"

" if I tell you, you have to promise to never speak a word of this"

" the fuck did you get yourself into, sure I promise"

" It turned out to be a God that still has a kill all worshipers on site treaty in most kingdoms."

Half her beer ended up on the floor from flying out her nose "whhaaat?!"

" surprised me too, thought I would just get a fine, instead I can never go home and have to lie to everyone"

" okay... okay, wait is that why your face changed?"

" that's what you're focused on right now?"

" yeah seems like the less problematic thing I can focus on All Things Considered."

" yeah it probably is it's happening similar to how my family described getting bodily blessing from their war god. "

" well I got to say it did make you cuter I'll have to be your wingman some night so we can get you a girlfriend. "

" Is that your way of saying you still want to be my friend, appreciated but I'm going to be apprehensive about letting anybody close to me like that, "

" that self-conscious about a slight upgrade from your God "

" that self-conscious that it's happening this quickly they're probably going to notice something you've noticed something just from my face. "

" fair enough well if I already wasn't planning to still do the duo thing with you I'd have to now somebody needs to help cover for you "

" thanks Kay, besides having to hide my abilities less often I mean I can cover for you more often. "

" I know you're right but you're still a brat. "

" love ya too Kay, either way I'm going to bed you can crash on my couch if you want, if not lock up when you've drank enough of my beer. "

"night"
