"What now?"

With his arms crossed over his chest, Varian stands in front of Lashanie. The boy's lips form a pout as he shifts his weight from one leg to the other.

But the slim girl in front of him just casually shrugs her pale shoulders.
"We'll just have to wait, I suppose."

"Ugh!"
Varian rolls his eyes, heaving a deep sigh.
"If that ain't great! First, they urge us to hurry here, and now they're the ones to show up late!?"

Again, the young alchemist begins to pace back and forth the square by the fountain, where Angry and Catalina wanted to meet them.

Lashanie gives her boyfriend a warm, understanding smile.
She knows Varian has been working hard lately to prove himself worthy of his new position as the royal engineer. Especially to this nuisance Niguel, who keeps monitoring his every move inside the castle.

At this very moment, though, the sun's warm slivers fall to the square between the houses, veiling the place in golden hues while the fountain throws glistening water into the air; a perfect moment to relish the quiet and relax a little.

And so Lashanie pats the empty space beside her,
"You're too edgy, Vary."

Reluctantly, the boy runs his fingers through his dark hair, removing the goggles he's always wearing to drop them to Lashanie's side before he lets himself slump to the fountain ledge as well, exhaling loudly.

"I know it's just -"
another sigh leaves his lungs before Varian's gaze meets Lashanie's mid-air.
"I thought we'd be able to spend some time today. Just you and me, like we used to."

Saying this out loud suddenly sends a peng of embarrassment through him, and Varian can feel his cheeks redden.
Hoping to avoid Lashanie's reaction, he bends his head, breaking their eye contact while instinctively beginning to rub his slender neck.
"Nevermind. We'll get another chance soon, heh."

The brunette gently prods his shoulder; her soft lips curled up to an incredulous smile.
"Vary, angel, look around; it's already just the two of us."

"Eh?"
The sunlight that reflects in Varian's cerulean eyes makes them shine like stars as he blinks at his girl in mild surprise.
The corners of his mouth twitch up, and he can't hold back a chuckle. Shaking his head laughing, he breathes.
"Oh, Birdy!"

Lashanie leans into him, a flustered, slightly confused expression washing over her pretty face.
"What is it? Did I say something funny?"

But her boy only responds by laughing even harder, now holding his tummy.

"Vary!",
Lashanie protests.

And when she moves even closer, trying to catch his eyes, Varian quickly makes use of the moment and leaves a peck on her lips before he swiftly lets himself glide down to rest his head on her lap.

He gently pulls her right arm to embrace him, and as his fingers slide into the spaces between hers, he coos with a glad smile,
"It's nothing, Birdy. You're right; it's just us. And it's perfect."
