“So you’re leaving?” The android licked her finger and began running it along the edge of her wine glass. It wasn’t the best drink in the world; she’d have been happier with soda but didn’t say anything to the warrior in her company. The sound the glass emenated was interesting, and because of their secluded seating it didn’t bother anyone. Well, unless it bothered him. She looked across the table with her big blue eyes.
“Well…Yeah, I don’t usually miss out on Dante’s Abyss, neither do you.” He scratched the back of his head. “You know…” he trailed off.
“What?” The girl took another gulp of her wine and made a face. How could people drink large quantities of this stuff, she wondered? Regardless, the girl was beginning to feel warm and fuzzy.
“You lost your memory, and it was right after last years Dante’s Abyss that I found out. I think you lost it during the game.” He learned on the table with his hands clasped.
“Well that makes sense, Raditzu, but I don’t see what you’re getting at.” The blond learned on the table similarly, and then proceeded to hiccup. “’scuse me.”
Her significant other suppressed a chuckle, shook his head, and continued. “People with amnesia usually need some kind of trigger to get their memories back, maybe if you join this year you’ll see something or run into a similar situation that will bring you back to normal.”
“Oh? Back to normal? So you don’t like me how I am?” she leaned away from the table in a pouting fashion.
“No! No! That’s not what I meant at all.” He frowned; it was so hard explaining things to women. “I want you to be happy.” If anything, that was the truth.
“I am happy. Besides, what if I get blasted in the head and become a vegetable?” she crossed her arms and gave him an ‘amirite?’ look.
“Well that doesn’t usually happen, babe. The fact that you lost your memory in the first place is confusing. A lot of times in Dante’s Abyss you could die and end up waking up on Earth, or wherever you signed up, absolutely fine. I’m not sure how they do it, and I don’t really care. Something must have messed up to cause your…malfunction. Anyway, how about this,” he paused to finish his wine. “Come with me, it’ll be fun. We’ll still be together, and you won’t feel alone or anything.” It was a great plan if he ever knew one.
She could have taken the whole thing in an offended manner. Why go to some fighting tournament when they could go to a beach somewhere and be together that way? The girl raised a finger, blinked a few times, and then lowered it. “Ok, whatevar yoo schay.” She had finished off her wine, feeling tipsy, she stood up and declared, “to zah shign hups!”
Raditzu looked around frantically, afraid someone would notice his girlfriends embarrassing display. He was more embarrassed for her, but really, wanted to laugh. “Babe, I think we should get some rest first. We don’t have to sign up now.” He tried to get her back in her seat.
“Oooh yah, rest. I getcha.” She sat down, demanded more wine, and stared lovingly at Raditzu like an obedient puppy.
