First POV-Shy :

After i got back home and inside I sighed. It was exhausting sometimes. But again i love trying to communicate but it's hard..

walking to the kitchen to drink water finishing it while i thought and afterwards i put the bottle down on the counter smiling i felt a bit better. And so I looked to the couch and remembered about the letter now mentally slapping myself..

"Well.. i mean the guy did say the Leader he was losing his stuff.. and if that did happen what would we do especially if it's the real Crystal?.. i mean.. uhm.. I should probably accept it.. it can probably help me get out of my shell more.. especially with these new people coming here. Makes me wonder if others will too stumble apon here more often.."

I mumble quietly as I walked over to the couch looking at the letter one last time before nodding to myself.

"It's probably a smart choice.. I don't think it'd be good if it lands in others hands.. they probably will have a more harder time adjusting then i would.."

I sighed as i saw the book underneath the letter. Called Steve Legends now I laughed a bit. I mean.. can't blame me those Desert Steves sound funny! Especially the Desert Leader. I soon calm down from laughing, i shook my head before grabbing it and the letter putting them on the table next to the couch for the next time. Red Steves truly are great writers i thought before i went to the latter up to go change in some more comfortable clothes.

"It's like.. at least close to sundown"

I mumble as i squint my eyes at the clock on the other side of the room on the wall as I mumbled, sighing and going ahead and walking towards the wardrobe to change.

It's finally morning and it's time to go talk to the Leader. I finished adjusting my button up shirt as i then walked out of the house smiling awkwardly as i shut the door. I then start walking towards his house as quietly as possible to not gather any attention from the awake Orange Steves that I saw. I finally reached the door to his house and knocked on it for a few minutes before entering and shutting it behind me. As i then cleared my throat and talked out loud.

"Leader? Are you awake?"

I asked awkardly as i walked up the stairs to his room to hear a yawn before a response from him.

"A- yes i am Shy Orange Steve? What may you be doing here to.. EH!"

I hear the Leader fall and hit the ground awkwardly i took a second to hope he is okay before continuing to walk up

"Are- are you okay Leader Maggnus that sounded like it hurt a bit."

"Yes. Yes , i am alright- just a small scrape nothing serious."

He said as I heard shuffling and picking up of papers as I reached the final step of the stairs and looked around his room a bit.

"Leader are you sure your alright? D-do you need help this seems like quite a mess you have to clean up?"

"I am alright Shy. Thank you for the concern. May i question why you have come here so early?"

He pondered as he looked up at me raising his eyebrow before resuming to continue picking up the papers which i went over and helped him pick them up before responding.

"Well.. you see Leader I thought over what you offered me.."

I said quietly and he stopped picking the papers up while his head shot up to look at me a bit too quickly for my liking even so i backed up a bit as he coughed as in a way to apologize and tell me to continue which i smiled back at.

"Andd.. i would love to be your apprentice Leader. I don't think you can.. actually take care of the village if you can't even keep your room tidy."

I laughed a bit. I knew i could be comfortable around the Leader i mean. He helps me a lot,  He is like.. like a father figure by now.. well brother?? Huh.. i don't exactly know.. i thought about it for a few minutes before looking at the Leader to listen to him.

"Ha ha ha.. yea that's so funny. So , so funny. Sabre said that too. But I'm grateful you chose to be my apprentice."

He said smiling brightly as he got up and put the papers away organized in place. I soon got up and put them down too before raising an eyebrow.

"I uhm.. who's Sabre exactly?"

"Oh. I don't know if you saw him. Uhm- small guy with white onesie looking like a chicken?"

He answered me and i made an o sound nodding as i said then.

"Yea, I remember him. I punched him in the face yesterday."

I said smiling before realizing how bad it sounds out of context and the Leader looked at me.

"Shy Ora.."

He tried speaking but , i cut him off frantically trying to talk before making out the words

"HEBARGEDINMYHOUSEIJUSTDIDITINSELFDEFENSE!"

Really quickly and pretty loudly a bit. As the leader then just snorted and burst out laughing covering his mouth at that as he soon shook his head and smiled.

"It's fine Shy. I mean- i don't think you probably punched him too hard at least? And you did apologize after right?"

He asked me and i nodded frantically a bit. Not really trusting my mouth to talk anymore that much.

"Alright good. That's good. Would you like to stay over for some tea today at least?"

He asked me. And I nodded once more while smiling towards him. Before saying.

"It's probably the best time before the village starts getting up and around. I love them- but they give me some pain in the head in the morning."

I sighed as the leader then nodded.

"Indeed.. , sadly i have to agree. It's a bit much for me too sometimes. But it's understandable."

He said chuckling a bit at his own response before walking to the stairs.

"Alright , come down kiddo! Let's drink some tea and talk over your decisions of accepting and more."

He told me as he then walked down the stairs and I followed suit after smiling even brighter then before. As i then went and sat down finally getting a minute to actually see how the leader looks this early morning.

He was wearing PJ's of the color orange with a yellow crown on the back of the shirt as his hair just bounced around not really being taken care of yet. I wondered how long ago had he woken up before i came. But i got interrupted by him asking what type of tea i would like now...
