Skye stopped smiling and put away her ammo. I wanted to help... The archer then laughed at it all, her slight obsession with battle, Larissa's comical fury, even the exhilaration of it all. She hadn't laughed like this in so long, being the emotionless type.
Black boots stumbled as she plopped on the ground, never ceasing in her endless chuckling.
The cut on her wrist was a sickly red as blood dripped from it, spurred on by her jerking movements.

Larissa watched as Skye laughed like a maniac. She hadn't seen Skye act so strangely during the week they had traveled together. That's when she saw the final bandit creep up on Skye.
Being too far, all Larissa could do was yell, "Skye, looking out!"
If Skye wasn't able to hear through her endless laughter, she would certainly be hurt to extremes.

Skye ceased to feel frightened at the bandit approaching her and swept out a leg to trip him. She giggled incessently and stood up, aiming her bow down at the man's heart. She fired the arrow without mercy and once the job was done, she started making her way towards Larissa.
"Your face looked like a tomato!" She pointed at the mage and held her stomach, leaning over as her hilarity ensued.
After several seconds, she started to calm down, taking deep breaths. She smiled. "That was fun."

Larissa blinked. She wondered if Skye's sanity wasn't exactly intact.
"Are you okay??..." Larissa asked in a more soft tone than you would expect from her. She watched Skye and saw a streak of red on her wrist, "Hey! Your wrist's bleeding!"

The now calm Skye lifted her wrist to inspect it. Her pupils widened in surprise at the sight of the bleeding gash. She licked her finger and slid it over the cut, then wiping it on the bottom of her shirt in a rather unsophisticated manner.
"Wow, I didn't even notice..." She took out a vulnerary and unscrewed the cap, tipping a few drops on it.
It then hit her. I don't think I've ever laughed that much in my life. A perplexed look came across her features.

Larissa watched as she wiped a saliva-wet finger on the wound and wiped it then on her shirt. It was very strange, but it probably worked.
Larissa gave Skye an "ARE YOU OKAY??" type of look and spoke, "You know...I don't think I've heard anybody laugh so hard..."
Why had Skye been laughing so crazily?

"Me either..." The archer looked a little embarassed, rubbing her arm.
"It's just..the feel of the battle, especially when your winning, really gets to me. When I was a child, I never really..did things like this. Being free, riding where the wind takes me, has always been a dream until recently." Skye lifted her head in a trance, feeling the wind caress her face.

Larissa smiled widely, "I bet I know why!"
Her excited smile became a devilish grin, "All of your life, you were probably forcing yourself to act like a lady for the man you loved until he died in battle and you then wished to be free from all the hardships of being a lady, because that only reminded you of...Him."
Larissa liked to make up stories for other people such as this one, but lucky for Skye, this one was much shorter than most.

Skye snapped out of her trance, replacing it with an expression of disbelief. That had to be the most random thing I've ever heard...that sounded nothing like me...
"Um...no..." She brushed some dirt off her shorts and started walking.
"I'm not really the romance type. Guys just seem so...dimwitted to me."

Larissa sighed and caught up with Skye, "Skye, Skye, Skye...It sounds like you aren't as mature as I thought!"
She then eyed Skye with such cat-like eyes that she could have nearly been mistaken for a feline in darkness, "Have you ever...Had a secret admiration for someone?" Larissa looked away, "Or is it that you're just shy?"

Skye became more embarrassed. "Shy, I'm not shy!" She clenched her fists defiantly but soon looked downcast.
"The only person I ever admired was my brother. Despite how we were brought up, he always seemed so wild and untamed, being controlled by no one but himself. He was the one who taught me how to fight." She indicated the bow strapped across her back.

Larissa blinked in horror, "YOU WERE IN LOVE WITH YOUR BROTHER?!?!?!"
The volume of Larissa's voice went higher and higher as the conversation progressed. Even birds flew away from their nests in nearby trees due to the unbearable noise.

Skye smacked her face in frusteration. I can't believe what I'm hearing. The hand slid off and she took a deep, forced breath.
"You can admire another person without being in love with them....calm down..." She felt pity for the poor birds and herself, having to bear the wrath of that high pitched voice.

"I know that! But you made it sound like you were-" Larissa clasped her hands together, "Totally and undoubtably infatuated with him!"
Larissa stopped speaking for a moment, thinking for once about what she would say next, "Do you think he'd like me?"

Are you kidding? When pigs fly! "Uh...maybe.." She snickered quietly.
Skye tried to change the subject. "So do you have any siblings?"
