Argenti's Palace

[beautifulknight]

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

I bet you knew deep down.

[ It's more romantic if he did, she thinks. With a little of squeeze of his hands, she lets go. ]

Even though you assured me you weren't lonely, I was still worried. But now, I don't think I have to worry about that so much anymore, right?

[beautifulknight]

[ STOP you guys are going to embarrass him ...

Argenti face does flush when she says that, because, well. He feels like he can't say no, but he can't explain that. ]

P-Perhaps...

[ He will admit to it - he sees no reason not to! ]

...No, you do not. Although I am still uncertain what the future truly holds, it feels like I am truly no longer facing it by my lonesome. I suppose I had tried to convince myself that I did not feel such things, but I was not being all that honest, to others, and to myself. Knowing that now is a relief as well.

[gardenful]

The first step is knowing, isn't it? So I'm glad that you do now.

[ And because this embarrassment train is not going to stop anytime soon, she adds— ]

I have a feeling Fray isn't gonna let you feel lonely. Not if he has anything to say about it, at least.

[beautifulknight]

Yes, I am too—

[ —HELP. HE WILL REMEMBER THIS, AERITH. But, he does know that she says this with kindness in mind... ]

...I do have a feeling you are most certainly correct. He has...been so unwavering in his devotion and his dedication [ His face is bright red as he says this now, though, even if he allows a smile all the same. ] that I cannot imagine that he ever would do otherwise. It is not in his nature.

[ She suppresses a giggle at Argenti's bright red cheeks, even though it's incredibly hard to do so. How cute... ]

It sure doesn't seem to be. I really hope the two of you can be happy, however that ends up turning out.

[ Whether that means they're often apart but still in touch or always together. ]

[beautifulknight]

Thank you, Lady Aerith. I sincerely appreciate your support.

We will figure it out.

[ Argenti is still feeling raw, and one of those feelings is that he is kind of a little apprehensive at even thinking of returning to his home universe, but...he needs to mull over it some more.

But either way he plans on ensuring they're definitely going to be for all intents and purposes inseparable, however that looks. ]

[gardenful]

Good. You better.

[ A little smile to accompany a little bit of teasing.

She reaches out to give Argenti a quick squeeze of his shoulder before leaving him to his catman. ]
