~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Inside Elenahiers Dungeon, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:50 AM)~~~

The room is becoming worse and worse in regards to smell... Sometimes, when something smells so bad, it gives you a headache... That's what this is like, and we've only been resting for 3 or so minutes. Shouldn't call it resting. We're all unbelievably uncomfortable. The blood leaking off our clothes and weapons is spreading around the room.

My attention is mostly on Freskra, mostly due to him being the actual shade of green... He's been throwing up in one of the many corners of this room, and now that his stomach is empty, he's got nothing left to through up. His wife, Leila, is gently rubbing his back, and he's doing the same for her. She's not thrown up yet, but it's easy to see she wants to...

My fingers are starting to stick together thanks to blood getting to that weird state between dry and wet... The state where it's dry enough to start getting hard but moist enough to still be considered a liquid. Everyone in the room is in a similar state as me... No one was left out when it came to getting covered in blood.

The room is silent, and I hear the occasional frustrated cuss coming from my sister's direction. She doesn't like getting dirty, and she's as dirty as she's ever been before. Her long hair is matte and disgusting as the blood starts to harden and clot. She's picking the dry pieces out of it. My hair is much longer than I've ever had it in my life.

While it's nowhere near the length of any of the ladies in the room, it's long for most men. I've been meaning to get a haircut, but it slips my mind whenever we're in a town or city. Considering the priorities that I put first. "Do you think we'll get this dungeon finished before Hailey decides she's done..." My thoughts are interrupted by the bubbly whisper of my girlfriend.

Still getting used to saying that, but it's something that she'd want to hear. "My guess... 3 hours is her limit, but it should only take us 2 to finish this dungeon... She's going to be pretty sour and pissed for days, maybe weeks, after this dungeon..." We have smiles and laugh as we're trying to make light of a poor situation.

My thoughts shift from Hailey to Jasmine, who's sitting next to her, and she's in a much better mood than everyone else. Her personality and general energy make it hard to be put into a depressed mood without talking about her past. That's the only sore subject that she seems to have... But I'm still getting to know her.

The few chances I've had to talk with her alone have given me much light. She's a very positive and nice person, but it's a front to hide the pain underneath. She's genuine in her efforts, but she thinks that if she can fool other people about her pain, she can fool herself... She still hasn't learned... She will, but it'll take time...

Jasmine and Hailey get along fantastically despite the major differences in personality and life experiences. It goes to show that you can be friends with pretty much anyone... There are exceptions to this, but generally, it's true. "Can I be honest with you..." Sally's soft whisper tipped with a nervous edge catches my full attention, and I turn my eyes to her.

She's got her beautiful blond hair soaked in blood, and lines of dried drips are coming down her face. I'd look the same if I gazed into a mirror. We all look like this at the moment. "You can tell me anything you need to, Sally... But I have a feeling this isn't as serious as you think it is..." She grins lightly and scoots a little closer to me.

Sally has given me a tremendous amount of trust, and I'll never betray that trust... She's told me things about her life that many would never speak to her again after hearing... I don't judge people for things out of their control... "This may not be the time or place to have this discussion, but do you think your parents would like me?" Hmm... Interesting question...

Not because I didn't think she would ask it, but because of my parents... They're overprotective... Especially when it comes to mom and us... Her approval of Sally is a 60/40 flip, and while I can see her liking Sally, there is a chance that she wouldn't want me being with her. Parents are usually wrong about the people you fall in love with.

Disapproving at the beginning and end up being wrong. Mom would want to have a long private conversation with Sally before she puts her own opinion forward. "Yeah, Sally... I think my parents would love you, but you're not asking about that... You're asking if they'll love me being with you..." She looks away slightly and nods her head.

My father leaves me to my own choices, believing that life will teach me the things I need to know about the opposite sex. "My dad won't give you any grief, but my mom, on the other hand... You're going to be sat down and have a long chat with her... She'll insist, and she'll make it impossible to say no..." My question tone and gentle whispers hit her hard.

Meeting the parents and loved ones of the person you're with is always hard, but it's not like we'll be seeing them any time soon. "Besides, we'll not see them for a long time down the road... Hailey doesn't know where they're at, and neither do I... Willing to bet they have no idea where we're at..." It causes some invisible weight to lift off her shoulders.

She moves a little closer again, and she lays her head on my shoulder. "That does bring me some comfort... It's hard being honest about my past and what happened to me... People are really horrible when it comes to that sort of thing... I can't help feeling that about anyone... Even your parents..." I understand that, and I don't disagree with her.

She's allowed to be as skeptical and cautious as she wants. "CERA!! How in the hell do you get blood out of your underwear!!" We both start to burst out laughing as Hailey's anger-filled voice interrupts our discussion. "I figured if anyone knew, it'd be you!" I've told Hailey and Jasmine some stories about my adventures.

Cera slowly stands up from his spot and walks over to me with an amused expression. Those are words I never thought I'd say to anyone. Let alone my brother, so I get the face he's giving. "Depends on what type of blood it is... If it's from monsters, I got a trick, but if it's yours from your period... That seems like something you'd know more than me." Ugh!! Dumbass!!

I slug him on the shoulder, and he stands next to me, and he lets out a chuckle. "It's not mine, idiot. Now tell me how to get all this disgusting dried and crusty blood out of my underwear. It's starting to chafe, and it's not something I'm going to tolerate the entire dungeon." He sighs and rubs his neck. He's probably thinking of an idea.

He crosses his arms and gives me a solemn look. "The method that I use might not be right for a lady, but regardless, I usually unequip my underwear when it's blood-soaked. Don't know if that's something you're comfortable with..." Of course, it's something that guys easily do with no problems. Seems like my only opinion right now... Thank God for the Inventory and system!
