Fish Out of Water (Luca and Eleonora JT)

[Eleonora Schmidt]

The blonde kept her eyes closed waiting for  the Hollow to finish her but much to her surprise the beast collapse in front of her, her arrow actually pierced the eye and make the hollow fall and in just a couple of second it dissolving into a black dust, she just stood there confused and processing what just happen, she actually killed a Hollow and honestly she had no idea how to feel, on one side that was her first victory against one of those beast but on the other hand the way that it disappeared made her feel a bit uneasy.

"Kiddo?" The girl questioned but then shook her head and change the subject "Don't give me the "I wouldn't let you kill you" you had the chance to break his mask but instead let it shoot a Cero!" Eleonora raised her voice but she wasn't angry if anything a bit frustrated "Sorry, I still need to process this whole thing"

Eleonora sit on the floor to catch her breath and listen to what Luca had to say, she nodded when the young man asked if she was a Quincy which was an easy guess but probably he just wanted to confirm it, for a second Luca seemed to be just doing small talk leading up to something but he ended up going straight to the point he worked for a group known as Uzaki Enterprise, he went on about the pros of having a group with knowledge that can help her develop and have people around taking care of her and that even if she was a bit young with his recommendation she would get in no problem.

"Just to clarify, I'm eighteen" The German said chuckling, she then extended her hand so Luca could help her stand up "Listen, I don't want to say no but... This is a bit sudden, don't get me wrong I had fun and you're a great guy but I don't think I'm ready for being in a group" She avoid looking at him in the eyes, it was hard rejecting him after this day because as crazy as it was she did get some experience out of this "I feel I need to stand by my own two feet before being around others" She then look at Luca again and smiled "Maybe in the future, when I feel ready I'll gladly take your offer"

Keep it cool Luca, she's just a child...Honestly, I don't get what the big deal is. I mean, maybe if she got hurt, but she totally didn't! Guess it can't be helped...

...

Luca helped Ellie up. And after pouring his heart out into a speech the result was...a soft refusal. Ah damn it, now I'm gonna have to find another way to get promoted! Perhaps he was annoyed, but not at Ellie. Really, he'd be lying if he said he didn't have any fun. Helping someone who needed it and hanging out did alleviate his boredom...And Ellie was kinda cool, in her own way. It looked like it was a chore for her to even say her refusal. The thought crossed his mind she was trying to spare his feelings, but honestly, it wasn't something she had to worry about. Though the fact that she cared at all basically confirmed they were almost-sort-of-friends! Really, the whole excursion wasn't a loss at all.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I think that's a pretty killer way to do things. You're a lone wolf. I like that. Really, I can't make the decision for you. No one can except you. But uh...if you ever do change your mind, tell them Luca sent you." He fired finger guns at her. "I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're about done with ass kicking lessons for today?" assuming the answer was yes, Luca would flash a smile. "Suppose I'll see you around, then. I'd say to stay out of trouble, but where's the fun in that? See ya!" With that, Luca took off in a mad full sprint in the opposite direction of Ellie. He had hollows to kill, a promotion to score, and adventures to have.
