[Shrugs, not really dwelling too much on what Sofia is saying] I guess... but I don't want him to not trust me, you know? We've been together for so long, you'd think there wouldn't be jealousy like that anymore... [Blushes at Sofia's next statement, then shakes her head in embarrassment] He's only a few years younger... shut up...
[Shrugs in a casual manner, running her hands down one of her legs in an attempt to massage it.] Mmm, I see where you’re coming from! But still I’d take it more of an insult than anything else. ♪
He must really like you because you’re so immature! You know I’m only teasing you. [Takes an elastic band off her wrist and ties her hair up into a high bun on her head.] You guys are just so gross together, I have no doubt you two will be with each other for a long time ♥!
[Quickly puts on her swimsuit, not self-conscious of getting changed in front of Sofia] Oh, uh... he got jealous of Micah... which I don't really blame him for looking back, but I was really angry at the time. [She shrugs then heads into the bath, lowering herself up to her chin in the water] And I don't know... we've talked about living together and about kids and stuff... it's a lot to think about, but I'd like to move on to that part of my life, you know? I'm already 27 years old.
[Follows right after Raven into the water, giggling as she explains her story.] Isn’t being jealous something of an insult? If someone was jealous of someone subtly flirting with me like how Micah does with you, isn’t it sweet?
[Nods (a little too) knowingly.] I have no idea what you’re saying! As long as it’s something you’re thinking about then ..? [Shrugs, knowing she was going to get into a topic again that was going to make her nervous.]
[Laughs again, mimicking the girl and dipping her chin into the water.] Gods you’re so young ♪. Isn’t he older than you? Rawr Raven, what a cougar.
Um, things are great... [Blushes a bright red and looks away from Sofia, not used to speaking about her relationship so openly] We got in a bit of a fight a while back, but things are completely smoothed over now... we talk a lot about the future, so, um... [Considers telling Sofia that she imagines them getting married sometime soon, but quickly decides to keep that information to herself] So, yeah, things are great!
[Makes their way over to the woman’s bath, Sofia stopping for a moment at the lockers to get changed into her swim suit.] Ohhh ~ An agreement? You never told me about that! What happened? Tell me tell me! [Giggles in her girlish manner, before her eyes narrow in a teasing sort of way.]
About the past hm? Oh you always tell me everything! Come on you’re killing me I’m so curious! [Pulls up the swim suit straps over her shoulders.] You always tell me things are horrible, give me deeeetails Raven ♪!
Uh... the house being dirty never stopped you from letting me go inside before. [Sighs as she opens the door to the bathhouse, fully aware that she's not going to get any more information out of Sofia] Anyway, nothing new has been going on with me. I just came back from staying at Phillip's place for a few days, so I'm really just catching up on work.
[Scampers inside of the bathhouse behind her friend, offering a cheerful wave to Shino and Sakuya as the two make their way to the baths.] Oh really? [Hums in curiosity, blatantly ignoring the first part of Raven’s statement.]
How are things with you and him by the way? You always seem so sad whenever he’s in town! [You’re playing with fire here Sofia. She knew that, but she couldn’t help from poking some gossip from her friend none the less. And if she acts like she doesn’t know how things are going, Raven will never suspect a thing. Genius.]
Plus I see the way he looks at you when you two are together, seems like he really can’t stand you ♥.
Well what have you been preparing for? [Is taken aback as Sofia suddenly leaves her waiting outside, though waits patiently, fiddling with the bag she's holding while she waits] Okay... let's go then. [Begins to walk towards the bath house but turns to Sofia as she speaks] So, uh... why did you not want me to come inside?
[She can feel her heartbeat getting faster, she just had to stop thinking about it and she wouldn’t say anything she shouldn’t. Just don’t think about it.]
[Though the laugh that escapes is a bit nervous.]
O-Oh you know! Just a really important thing I’ve been in charge of putting on. You know how I get when I have too much stress put on me. And in terms of the house, [bites her lip] Evelyn’s been working on a new line of clothing so it’s just sparkling clean! It’s too embarrassing to have people over! Even you!
Let’s talk about me! What have you been up too since the last time I saw you?
[Rolls her eyes, not feeling up to pressing Sofia further for any more information] Alright, if you say so... [Nods her head as she turns to head towards Sofia's house] Sure, I'll come with you. So... has anything interesting been happening with you? I feel like we haven't talked in forever.
Oh ~ [Hums] I’ve been really busy prepping for something, so I’ve had a lot of free time recently! And I know! I mean it’s like I’ve been totally avoiding you, so I don’t know how I haven’t seen you around town more!
[Blinks as they get to her house, before suddenly the state of her house occurs to her.] O-On that thought! [Shouts before turning her back to rest against the door.] You stay here, come inside, stay right here. I’ll be right back!
[Several moments later, she returns.]
R-Ready!
[Raises an eyebrow at how Sofia is acting] Um, are you alright Sof? You're acting a little weird... [She shrugs, shifting the towel under her arm before continuing] I've been good, though... just on my way to take a bath. You're welcome to join me if you want.
N-Normal!? [Pipes up once again, Raven could always see right through her. How did she do that?] I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m completely suspicious, and obviously hiding something! [Blinks, before giving a sheepish grin.]
You know, I think a bath would be pretty good for me right now. [Deep sigh] Come with me back to the house and I’ll grab my bath bag.
[Walking towards the bath house, holding a bag full of clothes and a towel tucked under her arm, she spots Sofia and jogs up to her] Hey, Sof... ! I haven't seen you in so long... how are you?
[Hums to herself while twirling her parasol, enjoying the sunny day while she walks through town. Her mind busy with all the things she had to get done that day.] —? [Blinks when she hears her name, before her eyes widen significantly.]
R-Raven! [Calls back, lifting her hand for a meek wave.] Hi you! I’ve been terrible! [Don’t say anything Sofia, don’t even think about it. Don’t. Think. About. It.] But tell me more about how you’ve been!
He almost remained standing before he realized; right opposite speak. Once again he sat in the arm chair, looking to her with an embarrassed smile. "Well I kinda just started planning it recently, there's a lot of things I have to do first before it actually happens. Though Sofia," Out came the paper pad and pen, Phillip flipped through the pages for a moment before leaning over to show the girl the page. "I really need a girl opinion. What do you think of this idea?"
“Raven’s like a sister to me.” The purple haired girl spoke sweetly. “I’d do nothing to assure her happiness, and you make her happy. So I’m more than willing to help!”
“So, get uncomfortable! Cause if we’re starting from square one, you won’t be leaving anytime soon.” Sofia straightened her skirt. “I’ll get some tea started.” Though as she was about to turn for the kitchen, she saw the pad in his hand. Her eyebrow arched in curiosity.
She bent over his shoulder to read what he had written, purple orbs scanning the page while deciphering his handwriting. The smile that appeared on her lips actually having traces of surprise. “Ooooh~” Her gloved hand ruffed the man’s hair, giggling as she looked to him with an impressed expression. “I hate it!”
This girl was going to give him a heart attack. "Okay, I'm glad we're on the same page." Though the woman was so nonchalant, Phillip honestly couldn't help but smile at her kindness. "Thanks Sofia ... I really appreciate your help, more than you know. And just let me know when you need help okay? You've got plenty of time, but I'll let you know the date soon." Though at her finally inquiry, the man shrugged. "I-I honestly haven't thought of it too much, but I've written down a couple ideas."
“Hmph ♪.” The girl smiled proudly, basking in the praise. “Feel free to thank me now! We’ve still got a whole wedding ahead of us, and that’s going to take a whole lot less planning than just this engagement party!” The sincerity shown through her voice. “It’ll all be perfect, I promise.”
Though at the man’s confession to not have putting much thought into it yet. “You’re ready to propose but you have it all planned out already!? What are you talking about! Stand stand stand! You’re not leaving this house until we have some sort of game plan!”
“Boys.” Sofia scoffed with a roll of her eyes. “Plus I have to make sure you don’t do anything smart. Raven’s an easy woman to impress, but with my help we’ll completely wow her!”
"N-No no no Sofia!" His grave as getting deeper by the second. "I'll tell Karina later okay? I don't want a word of this coming out of your mouth," The man rose again, grabbing the shrieking girl by the face and squishing her cheeks to assure she was paying attention to him. "You. Don't. Say. Anything. To anyone. Okay?" He waited for her response, before adding. "I was actually hoping you'd plan the engagement party, what do you think? Gaius thought you might be up for it."
Sofia blinked, nodding slowly as her cheeks were squished in such a manner. “Secret. Tell everyone. Got it♪!”
Though with another moment, she batter his hands away, smile growing wide and eager as she continued to bounce on her heels. “Just the engagement party? Consider it planned! We’ll have it here, my house shouldn’t have nearly enough room to fit everyone in Sharance. Just give me the list of the people in Konohana you want to invite and I’ll totally forget to contact them. Heck, invite the whole town if you want, I’ve had smaller parties before.”
A giggle escaped her lips, looking to Phillip with big eyes and a tilt of her head. “Was that the favor you were going to ask me? Sounds like a pretty tedious task to me. How are you proposing to her?”
"S-Sofia!" The man hissed, once again mimicking the 'shhhh'ing motion. "Secret! And secrets are often talked about quietly!" This was going to be such a a mistake telling her, he could already tell he dug his own grave. "I need you to keep it to yourself okay? I'd be heartbroken if Raven found out before I had a chance to actually ask her myself okay? So hush hush." An embarrassed smile. "And .. yeah I'm serious. I really, truly love her. And I want to be with her for the rest of my life."
Sofia just stared at him, her eyes wide and perplexed.
Before she squealed very, very loudly. Obviously completely ignoring the words he had just said. “Oh my Great Native Dragons that’s so incredible horrible!” She didn’t know where to begin, her heart and mind raced.
This girl moved quick, and she hopped up, grabbed Phillip by the shoulders to pull him into a standing position, and hugged him tight before starting to bounce up and down. “I can’t believe you! Finally! You guys have been dating for less than 24 hours, I can’t believe it’s finally happening! This is the worst possible thing that could ever happen!” Though she paused, blushing as she noticed her opposite speak getting more apparent. “I-I’m trying to say, that’s so fantastic Phillip ♥♥♥!”
She released him quickly, shoving him back into his seated position as her plotting began. “We’ve got so much to plan! Raven could totally plan a party to save her life, let alone a wedding! But that’s of course why she has me!” She bit her lip and the small girl began to pace. “This has got to be small, I know Raven will absolutely adore it, but we’ve got to plan the best wedding this town’s ever seen!”
Her mouth gaped again, “Oh my Gods I have to tell Karina!”
Phillip's face couldn't help but turn red at her words, realizing quickly how obscure he was sounding. "O-Oh no no! We're not in a fight at all, it's much more exciting news then that." Goddess her opposite speak was confusing, Raven had trained him how to decipher her words, but it was still so difficult. "Sofia," He said softly, as if someone would hear them if he spoke any louder. "I want to ask Raven to marry me, and I'd love if you would help me out ♥."
“Well if you’re not fighting then how could I be of use to—”
Her mouth dropped, eyes looking to the man across from her in pure and utter disbelief.
Long pause.
Longer pause.
She blinked a few times.
“I’m sorry, what—!?” Her voice was shrill, sitting completely upright now as her hair flew in several directions. “W-What do you mean you don’t want to ask her to marry you? Like propose, like with a ring, like be with me for the rest of never sort of thing!? You’re not really serious are you!?”
"Thanks Sofia ♪." The ginger followed her inside, though slightly shell shocked at the size of her home. Gaius certainly wasn't kidding when he said mansion. "Ah, I'm actually here for a specific reason." He finally spoke while his gaze still lingered on all the sparkling things to look at in her home, but cyan finally dropped back to her, smiling wide despite his nervousness. "I'm here to actually ask you for a favor, but I'm going to have to tell you a secret first. That you have to keep."
Sofia dropped herself back on her couch, lazily waving for Phillip to follow her and to take a seat. What in the world was this guy up to? Her head on her hand as she listened to him.
“So you come to my house, asking for a favor, but telling me a secret I have to tell?” Sofia pouted. “I dunno Phillip ♪, that’s totally the way to ask a lady to do something for you.” Though she began to giggle, batting her hand at him.
“I’m just being completely serious! What can I do for you? If you and Raven are fighting you’re already well aware of who’s side I’m going to take.”
"Ah—" He couldn't help but laugh, she certainly was the goofy one of Raven's friends. "Sorry Sofia I don't have Raven here with me today, I'm actually here to see you! But," The hand that was in his pocket rose to hold a finger to his lips, giving the 'shhhh'ing motion. "I'd actually like to keep it a secret that I'm here to see you right now, so please don't tell her okay?"
Her brow rose sharply, blinking in response to the man while growing in confusion. “Tell her you’re here? I’m so confused, you always come and see me without her!” She’d met Phillip a few times before, honestly she liked him, but Sofia was one Raven’s best friends and this whole set up sounded suspicious. “The only reason you ever come to town is to get away from her!”
Though, curious at what he had to tell her, she opened the door a bit further. “Well … I guess you’re here for a no reason.” Amethyst eyes looked back and forth yet again, this time hoping not to find the redhead woman in question, before waving the man to follow her inside. “Come in then!”
Gotta be quick, gotta be quick, you just gotta be quick. Phillip breathed in, actually getting quite nervous as he thought about how much both Sofia and Karina actually intimidated him. All three girls had that air about them though he supposed, actually to anyone else Raven was probably the most intimidating. Though the man shook off his nerves as he stood outside the door of the large mansion before knocking.
Sofia sat on her couch in the lounge, legs thrown over the side of the sofa as she seemed like she was experimenting with testing her ability to read upside down. Despite the blood that was probably rushing to her head, she seemed pretty engrossed in the book she was reading, flipping pages rather idly.
Though the knock on the door caused her to sit straight up, wincing as the world seemed topsy turvy for a minute. “Going!” The woman shouted, enjoying her solace in being home alone by being as loud as she wanted.
After racing to the door, Sofia peaked her head out, her mind still wrapped in the story of her mystery novel. “Phillip?” She piped up when she saw the man, though still not opening the door fully; she looked left, she looked right. “Where’s Raven? Shes with you isn’t she?”
