Forward Meeting

Ko's eyes flutter open, greeted by the sight of his best friend, Koshi, leaning over him. A warm smile spreads across his face as he acknowledges her presence. Koshi playfully prods him, urging him to rise from his slumber and start the day.

Koshi is a curvy young female. Her hair and eyes are striking red, the hairstyle she favors is the twin-tails each at shoulder length.

Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, ko's senses sharpen as he searches for his attire. Without her he wouldn't even have woken this early. Hastily, he dons his clothes, each movement purposeful and efficient. 

As he emerges from his home with Koshi, Ko is met with the vibrant world outside. The kingdom is bustling with activity, as the sun's rays paint everything in a golden glow.

Ko's attention is recaptured by Koshi, he smiles a bit embarrassed he got distracted. Koshi gestures towards the distant building where they'll be heading for a meeting with someone special. Without a hint of hesitation he follows his friend to the unknown.

As they approach the towering building, Ko's gaze wanders, captivated by as per usual of the sights and sounds of their surroundings. The bustling streets, adorned with colorful banners and lively market stalls.

She understands that Ko's curious nature is an inherent part of who he is, and she finds it endearing. His wide eyed fascination with the world around him is a constant source of joy for Koshi, reminding her of the innocence and wonder that resides within him. She cherishes these moments, Knowing that they make their adventures all the more special.

As they navigate through the crowded streets, Koshi keeps a watchful eye on Ko, ensuring he doesn't stray too far off course. She gently guides him, a beacon of reassurance in his ever curious journey, in her presence, Ko feels a sense of grounding, knowing that no matter how lost he may become surroundings, Koshi will always be there to guide him back.

They finally reach the administrator's building, a massive and imposing door opens, granting them passage. The sight that greeted them within was nothing short of breathtaking. The spacious and beautiful light blue marble hallway greets them. Every step they took sends a gentle echo throughout.

The hallway seemed to stretch on endlessly, adorned with intricate tapestries and ornate statues that whispered stories of ages past. Their eyes darted around, trying to absorb every detail, every hint of the mysteries that lay hidden within these walls.

Soon they came upon a door, Koshi knocked first, then pushed it open, and allowed Ko to enter first. Entering Koshi's greeted by two faces sitting around a slick round table, one familiar and the other she'd only heard of.

The man's penetrating gaze followed Ko's every move, his curiosity piqued by the young man's presence. Meanwhile, the woman approached Ko with open arms, enveloping him in a warm embrace. A tinge of embarrassment colored Ko's cheeks as he greeted her with a shy smile.

"Ah, hello there, Niao," Ko murmured, his voice betraying a mixture of surprise and affection.

"Hello, darling," Niao whispered, her tone smoothing and loving.

Niao, having satisfied her desire to express her fondness, gracefully returned to her seat, her actions speaking louder than words despite her trying to hide most of her feelings.

Niao is a woman of elegance. Having glossy short ash brown hair, with her eyes boasting the same color. Her long black gown, expressing the very timid yet curvy nature of her body.

Koshi was there at the sight of something she'd call awful.

"Oh, sweet Niao," Koshi thought sarcastically, shaking her head, feeling jealousy creeping in, but remained stoic.

Niao could see through Koshi's facade like glass, admittedly finding her stoicism quite amusing and as per usual entertaining.

Koshi turned away trying to escape Niao's gaze, "What's with her staring?" She asked herself, pouting.

Ko nervously glances at both girls, sensing tension. He didn't think there would be this much pouting from her, after all Koshi could've refused the offer.

Just a few days ago, Koshi and Ko triumphantly walked their way to the exit of a dungeon, noted for its formidable beats that lived in it and with minimal effort they cleared it.

Coming up and their exit, a body of a brown Werewolf laid there apparently dead. Koshi and Ko get on their guard, this tactic for this breed becoming ubiquitous lately.

They could already decipher that it's the tallest and most agile Werewolf.

Koshi narrowed her eyes, a devilish grin spread across her face. "If I get close enough, it'll pounce at me. A lot faster than a man on two legs…" 

They quietly stared at the creature for a moment. Koshi in particular is thinking of an interesting way she can play this out. They've already beaten quite a number of them up front, so she wants to make this encounter different.

Koshi glanced over at Ko, flashing him a mischievous grin. She whispered something in his ear and turned her attention to the Werewolf, confidence in her stride. 

She kneeled down before the creature, her eyes flashing sudden surprise. Turning back to address Ko… The Werewolf pounced at her, knocking her to the ground.

Ko reacts promptly, unsheathing his sword. He leaps into the air, taking a swing to sever the monster's head, only for it to deflect him with its claws.

The Werewolf snarled, a sense of absolute strength and dominance in its eyes. It held its head high, and began to howl.

Koshi grinned, pointing her finger at the distracted beast, and with one snap of said fingers, the explosion of the wolf's head.

Ko breathed a sigh of relief, not really getting the kick and excitement out of it. A totally different contrast to Koshi just beaming with a smile, as she got up.

Koshi faced Ko. "See…" She said, waving and enthusiastically moving her body to prove that she's completely unharmed.

The switch from a flushed red face, to a confused one. Prompt Koshi to stop the suggestive swaying of her body.

A faint snicker reverberated off the walls. "Quite suggestive," A female voice said, a tinge of amusement following along with her words.

Koshi turned to the cave entrance, the woman's presence confusing. She rested her hands on her hips, "And what do you care?" Koshi asked, trying to cover the embarrassment with anger.

The woman stared into Koshi's eyes, unblinking a strange look of seriousness. She smirked and covered her mouth. "Embarrassed?" She abruptly asked amused, seeing through Koshi's facade.

"No, I'm not," Koshi shouted, on the brink bursting with rage. "Doesn't matter. What matters is, who are you?" She pointed at the woman, deflecting the question.

The woman smiled from ear to ear. "I'm Niao, advisor of the administrator," She proudly proclaimed, a hand held on her chest.

Koshi's face softened immediately. She folded her arms, a stoic expression now on her face.

"Hm. So… What do you want?"

"You've caught the Administrator's interest. You know the building, if interested…" Nio replied, giving a simple yet firm reason for her being there.

Ko rubbed the back of his head, thinking he should've known, there won't be much of a relationship between them, especially after what happened a moment ago.

With an annoyed sigh, Koshi took her seat. A bit grumpy, she'll be going through the meeting with Niao staring at her.
