FireKnight :0?
"Knight!! You're finally back from that drab castle! 'Bout time!" The sparkling energy of Fire Spirit was something that Knight could never get used to. That, and the fact that he never let the blonde be alone when he could. "If I didn't burn you upon contact, I'd be smotherin' you right about now!" The spirit's comments garnered a sigh and a half-true smile. There was something about this type of affection that didn't sit well with Knight.
Though there wasn't anything physical, there were always words praising Knight and his actions. They weren't even close, yet these words just kept spilling on and on as if it was a flood. When upon his horse, there were always comments on how he looked so valiant, so brave, and so on. It was a bit grating hearing of how he looked, especially since there was a portion of him that was mildly paranoid about appearances. "That horse wouldn't look half as good without you on it! You're a natural when it comes to horseback!" This... Wasn't the type of attention that Knight exactly wanted. Even when showing a mild distaste, a lack of a smile or a glower, there was... Still praise thrown his way. Fire Spirit only found his seriousness to be another point to throw more and more positive words in the defender's direction. It was almost as if he was being treated as a deity, and... That wasn't what he wanted at all.
He was just a simple knight, with simple wishes, and being praised for every little thing wasn't what he desired.
"Hey, Spire..." Knight's tone conveyed hesitance, which wasn't exactly seen properly by the spirit that followed above him as he cautiously took his ride around the valley. It was normally just treated as a time for him to rescue anyone who had gotten themselves into trouble within, but this time... It was a bit of a rescue for himself, in a way- Perhaps for Fire Spirit as well. "You know how you always give me kind words? Constantly?"
"Mhm!" Ah, so this specter of flames did recognize what he was doing? "It's just like Pitaya, y'know? Keep sayin' good things, and you're bound to get rewarded for it." That made the blonde slow his steed down, allowing him to properly look up at the spirit, who was still grinning down at him. "Ah..." It took the blonde a moment to buffer what he was supposed to say. So he was being treated like a deity for... Reward? "What kind of 'reward' do you want from me, then?" It's not as if they had anything grand to hand over.
The flame spirit laughed nervously, twirling with his staff and attempting to try not to sound awkward whilst keeping that grin upon his face. The smile wavered, words blurted out, "Because I want to get your love, duh!" It was dumb to add 'duh', wasn't it? At least it wasn't to scale with how dumb(founded) Knight was upon hearing those words. He stopped his horse, a gentle blush upon his face. "Really? That's what all this is about?" A nod and somewhat anxious 'mhm' came from Fire Spirit, though it was unluckily met with a mild look of irritation. "I don't know what Pitaya had taught you, but sweet talking won't win everyone over, particularly me."
"In fact, you've been squandering your chances, I'm sorry to say."
