《Secrets of the Arcane》The first seal unlocked!
Advertisement
From the third person's viewpoint, what Julien is doing is very sweet and thoughtful. On the other hand he is clueless about Niana's feelings. What's in his mind is to check if Niana's feet are hurt.
His dexterity is beyond words, he has good hands and while he is doing his check-up and slightly massaging Niana's feet, she is now forcing herself to not make any noise.
"If I moan, Julien might think of it differently, I need to control my emotions."
Niana's heart is like a volcano that wants to erupt. She is silently gasping and cold sweat forms on her forehead. She tightly clenched her skirt and bit her lips. Julien, who was still doing his thing, saw this and thought that Niana was really in pain.
After seeing that reaction his determination rises and he increases his dexterity like he was holding a baby! With that Niana barely held her breath!
Though he is a licensed oriental doctor, he is not recognized as what a real doctor is, regardless, he knows a lot in terms of oriental medicine and an unorthodox way of healing a person.
What he is doing right now is to make sure the veins are aligned and also to make sure the blood circulates without any problem.
He heaved a sigh of relief as he verified that her bones are not damaged.
"Good, good! I can see here that there are no issues with your bones and also with my treatment, you will just need rest, "Julien consoled while smiling.
Niana is blushing like she was being touched by the gods, smiled back and hurriedly said "Thank you Julien, and I'm sorry that I bother you today"
"No don't mention it, again it's all my fault if I didn't invite you over you might not get into an accident"

"Anyway, I know you haven't eaten yet, let me prepare this food. If you don't mind, can I go to your kitchen?"
Julien has a good upbringing and respect for women. He is the type of man who doesn't take advantage of others regardless of status and disposition. That's why many of his colleagues like him while few resent him because he is a likable man.
Niana nodded, "Sure, just walk straight to the left and you will see the kitchen."
Just before Julien arrives, she makes sure that her house is clean. Though it is really painful to walk around she doesn't want him to see her house dirty.
Her house was clean, to begin with as she really doesn't want her place dirty but just to make sure she double checks it, sprays air sanitizer, and makes sure that no undergarments are lying around.
Julien goes to the kitchen, pulls the drawer, and gets all the necessary utensils. While doing that, he noticed that Niana's house was sparkling clean unlike his, which was like a troll cave.
"Cleaning and organizing is a practice, not a project," No wonder she is very professional and productive in the office.
He then goes back and prepares the chicken, pizza, and drinks.
While plating the food Niana watched him prepare and asked: Julien how about your plans today?
He just answered, "No need to worry about it." He then added, "I'm just using it to make an excuse so that I can ask you out," and then he laughed!
After he laughed, he realized what he said. He suddenly paused and his eyes shook. His brain paused for milliseconds then processed so fast and his thoughts went wild. He curses to himself "Damn, damn you Julien you are not thinking! What did you do? Think, think! Salvage this awkward situation!

His brain operates so fast and then he just laughed, "I'm just kidding ha ha"
Niana just laughed and said nothing. However her breathing feels heavy, her lips parted and you will see the sparkle in her eyes.
Anyway, let's eat! Julien passes the food to her. He laughed nervously and they began to eat the food. While eating they talk about random stuff mostly about the things in their office.
They laughed at each other and casually talked. After a while, Julien began to clean the table and place the plates near him.
He said while doing it, "By the way, I bought an ice pack for your feet. Let's put some after I clean this."
Niana just nodded and asked "Do you want to watch movies?
Julien answered, "Sure, go play some. "
After he gets back from cleaning and placing the dishes, he prepares the ice pack for her feet. He began to place it on her feet and Niana just blushed and kept her mind straight.
Sitting beside her, they began to watch, they laughed and talked. The moment is picture-perfect, their feelings connected like they are the only people in the world. They both feel and hope that this will last longer.
Time flies when you are having fun; especially when you are with your special someone.
She said, " Oh! The sun is down already and it's almost dinner time, how about eating here for dinner?"
Julien then thought for a moment and then he answered "Sure, sounds good!"
"My feet feel great now, let me get my phone first so that I can order," Niana said.
She hurriedly stands up without knowing that her feet are still sore. When she gets up, she immediately feels the pain.
Julien, who is beside her, was shocked that Niana immediately got up, he didn't want her to forcefully use her feet.
He hurriedly got up as well to assist Niana but he was a second late!
Niana loses her balance and he hurriedly catches her, however, he also loses his balance so they fall towards the sofa and as if the gods are watching and playing with their fate, when they fall, their lips meet and Julien's hands touch a soft part.
His mind began to go blank. However this time it's different. It feels like he went to another dimension like what happened when Vel'Krim met him.
Then he began to hear a voice. The voice is strangely familiar as if he knows it well.
The voice then said "Congratulations on unlocking your first memory."
