The girl lightly brushed off Nic's compliments, and Nic just smiled. She didn't like compliments either. She doubted the girl got many of those either. "It's still a gift, you can use it in any way you please. I wouldn't mind you singing more to me." She chuckled awkwardly, that sounded so weird in her ears.
She was also happy to hear the other girl wanted to know more. She had always wanted to tell stories. One of her little dreams was to have a child to be able to tell bed time stories to. But this would do. Of course Thalia wasn't a child. But she was just as excited and invested. In a more mature way.
Nic started to tell her story. "One day Steve, a handsome knight, Prince of the kingdom, was wandering the forest thinking about how to talk to his brother without yelling at him. He had found out that his brother, Colton, had tried to ask out the kitchenmaid he was in love with, but didn't do it. Too scared." She smiled lightly. "He needed to find a way to get his thoughts across to the younger man. If it were Steve he would have asked the girl out when he first knew what his feelings were. But of course his brother wasn't him. He sat at his favourite tree, staring up at the leaves high up above, thinking, 'what if I-" Nic's ears perked up. She thought she heard some rustling. She frowned, grabbing her gun, and pointing it towards the tree line, glancing into the shadows. She thought she heard it again, but couldn't see anything. "Thalia." She warned softly. "Get behind me." She whispered.
She had been wrong. Something, no, someone landed on top of her, knocking the gun out of her hands. She fell backwards with a heavy grunt. "Ah!" The noise came from the person on top of her. She glanced up, her fist quickly following her gaze, punching the person in the face. She could finally see, it was a grounder, easily distinguished by the mask they were wearing. Terrifying up close. The grounder grunted, and quickly pulled his arm up, a knife in his hand, bringing it down towards her. She quickly went into fight mode, blocking the grounder's attack. She grabbed one of her own knives, hidden in a small pocket on her pants. She pulled it out, stabbing the grounder in the side, trying to push him off. She managed to get out from under him, scrambling to her feet.
