The Original Saint
Vala sighed as the large wooden doors were locked behind them. She leaned against the now silent structure, resting her head back against them and letting her eyelids fall closed. In truth she wasn't feeling nearly as well as she had led Daniel to believe and at this moment was starting to suspect that that may have been a bad idea.
"Hey", she heard Daniel's softly spoken word. Begrudgingly she opened one eye to peer lazily at him, releasing a soft groan when she saw the concern etched on his face. "Damnit Daniel", she moaned. Daniel quietly edged closer to mirror her position against the door.
"I know you must be feeling, well...a bit shit right now", his words causing Vala to bang her head lightly against the wood, "and I can safely say I know what you're going through." Vala remained silent, just tilting her head a little in Daniel's direction but kept her eyes closed. "I've been dead, revived, ascended, more times than you can imagine...more times than I'd like to imagine...:, Daniel half mumbled to himself, eyebrows knitting together in thought. "Takes a while to get the colour back in the cheeks apparently...", he trailed off, those words swirling round as some sort of remnant in his mind.
"I'm fine Daniel", Vala replied through somewhat clenched teeth.
"Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure", remarked Daniel in a light-hearted yet condescending tone. Vala thought Daniel was so full of it sometimes for someone who preached the value of honesty. She felt him take her hand in his and allowed him to pull her from the door, leading her to the large table situated on the other side of the expansive room. As soon as they reached it, Vala threw herself down, rolling on her back to lie on the table, careful enough not to hit her head in the process, resting it upon a large book. Daniel rolled his eyes as he moved the bowl of fruit out of her path. "I feel like shit Daniel", Vala almost whispered, managing to add a whining quality to her voice. Daniel then gave her the sweetest little smile which if she wasn't currently in waking dead mode, she would have smacked off his pretty little face.
The End.
