Inferiority

"Yo, Luca watch out!" And before the pale-haired bookworm could do a thing, an arrow pierced through the head of the amphibian monster before it could even make contact to the blue clad male. "Aah!" he screamed and sighed of relief as he looked over to the one who shot the arrow, their leader, Leora who just gave him a smile to let him know that she got his back (and of course Luca smiled back, relieved). And from a distance, you can see a certain green clad delinquent, eyeing the two's friendship with a tiny bit of envy as he scoffed. He was the one who was supposed to protect him, and yet Luca almost got hurt.

Some shield he's supposed to be.

"Hey, if you two're done bein' all buddy-buddy, let's get goin', huh?" the greenette spoke as he sheathed his twin blades and slightly dug the tip of his shoes into the dirt. And Spada began to wonder why Luca brought him along. After all, Leora is a very capable archer, not to mention how she's skillful with every class there is.

Archer, Gunslinger, Warrior, Swordsman, Magic Knight, Fighter, Monk, etc….you name it, she's mastered it. It just made Spada feel a bit inferior (defiantly something he doesn't like since he takes pride in what he does) and he couldn't help but click his tongue at this brooding emotion, especially when he recalls their duel.

It was fair fight. Leora was a duel swordsman that day and Spada happened to be in the mood for a little fun, so he challenged Leora to see who's the best. Spada was fast and more experienced as a duel blader, but Leora…it was as if she was a born natural (even though she mainly uses a bow). And before Spada realized it, he was already on his back, sore from top to bottom, as Leora stood triumphant. This damaged his pride as a knight and as a Belforma.

Once they've slain their last monster, the three headed back to Baneltea and Leora separated herself from the two. The greenette sighed as he sluggishly made his way back to their room where he, Luca, Iria, and Ricardo were staying (while Luca quietly, nervously, followed behind).

The bookworm (over thinking things) feels as though that maybe, possibly, something was bothering the Greenette, putting him in a foul mood. "S-Spada, are you okay...?" the boy spoke as his friend looked over his shoulder.

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine." Spada said, as he stopped in front of their door with a hand resting on top of the hilt of his blade. "Why? You overthinkin' things again?"

"N-No..."

"Hah, don't try to lie to me. You're horrible at that kinda stuff." he laughed, "S'nothin', man."

"Are you...sure? You're positive?" he asked, wanting to make sure. Hearing the other become so concerned of the Belforma, he couldn't help but grin. It was nice, hearing Luca worry over him, but maybe it would be better if it wasn't too much. Wouldn't want Luca hurting himself.

"Yeah, yeah." he said throwing an arm over the boy's shoulder and pulling him closer as to where Spada could tousle Luca's hair. "Gees, Luca. If yer goin' to worry that much we gotta do somethin' about it! Don't want you hurtin' yourself."

"A-ah, right..." Luca nodded, as Spada took a quick glance around the room and took a quick peck on the other's lip and pulled away in just a split second, with his hands behind his head, as he entered the room first (while Luca followed behind, flustered at the sudden action, asking him what if someone were to even see them and Spada would just laugh it off as the door close behind the pale hair boy).
