He looks at the flower a moment longer, before asking, “speaking of, where is Sophie?” He leans forward on the bench, looking towards the gardens. He hadn’t noticed her when he first arrived, but that didn’t mean anything.

“The three of us should go on a picnic.” He declares suddenly, a huge grin stretching across his face. “That sounds fun, doesn’t it? Asbel should come, too, if he isn’t busy doing his lordy stuff.”

She returns, her flower journal tucked safely between her arms and chest. She walks quickly over, smiling brightly at the sight of Zelos, her friend and pet. “I did not know you were here Zelos.”

She tilts her head, watching Cheria’s reaction. “I wanted to see Richard, but Asbel said he needed a break, so I understand.” “Did you want to see Richard too?” She asks, coming over and taking Cheria’s hand.

She looks away for a moment. It’s not Richard’s fault. It’s not Richard’s fault. Not Richard’s fault that he has no faults. Even after he almost destroyed the world - all is forgiven when he opens his mouth and smiles. It’s not his fault he’s so good, so charming, so handsome, and always on Asbel’s mind.

“I’m sure we’ll all get to see Richard soon. Asbel probably just wanted some alone time with him. They are still trying to make up for lost time, after all.” Cheria sometimes wondered just how long it would take to make up for their lost time before Asbel could start focusing on her’s.

“Why don’t you go get our flower journal for me so we can press this before it starts to wilt?”

[townstoast-blog]

She nods, pondering what Cheria said. How do you make up for lost time? Was it hard to do? "I'll be right back, Cheria. The book is in my room." She turns and heads into the manor, going fast so she can hurry back to Cheria.

“Yes.” She smiles at the idea. She loved how pressed flowers smelled and how long they lasted out of the ground. She stands, dusting her knees off. “… Are you upset over Asbel?”

“It’s…” she sighs, lowering her hands to her lap. “It’s…nothing really Sophie. Just…maybe a little. Are you?” She doubted she would be. It was out of Sophie’s character to get upset about such things. She might’ve been lonely without Asbel, or she might be sad that she didn’t get to see Richard. But she wouldn’t blame Asbel, or be upset by him leaving them behind.

She would. Cheria did. But she wouldn’t say that to him or to Sophie. It wouldn’t really be fair…

She tilts her head, watching Cheria's reaction. "I wanted to see Richard, but Asbel said he needed a break, so I understand." "Did you want to see Richard too?" She asks, coming over and taking Cheria's hand.

She turns around, offering Cheria a flower, having been searching for the best flower in the whole field. She wasn’t sure why Cheria was upset, but she wanted her to smile again. She missed her smile. “Will this make you happy Cheria?”

“What?” She looks up from her sewing, blinking in surprise at Sophie’s question. Then, her eyes soften and she offers her a small, guilty, smile. Of course Sophie would know there was something wrong - she always knew.

Rather than try to deny it, she reaches out and accepts the flower - her smile loving and genuine as she responds to her. “Of course Sophie. I love your flowers, they’re always so beautiful. Shall we press this one as well?“

[townstoast-blog]

"Yes." She smiles at the idea. She loved how pressed flowers smelled and how long they lasted out of the ground. She stands, dusting her knees off. "... Are you upset over Asbel?"

[blurter-of-truths-blog]

Cheria sits on a bench in front of Lhant manor, working on her latest sewing project, watching Sophie as she works in her garden. Normally, she’d be humming to herself and enjoying the sunlight - but today, she’s in a dark mood and her sewing serves as more of a way to calm down, than something she is actually enjoying.

"Alvin is very nice Sophie. But his sense of humor isn’t always appropriate. Ludger, tell her."

[proofofchoiceinactive]

"She’s right, Sophie. Alvin has good intentions, but he doesn’t exactly know what boundaries are."

"Some people might not mind, but others might think it’s inappropriate for you to be telling them pick up lines."

[townstoast-blog]

"But Alvin tells them to everyone. Why can't I play the same game?"

[proofofchoiceinactive]

"Alvin’s not that bad.”

[blurter-of-truths-blog]

"I didn’t mean that! Alvin isn’t a bad guy.”

"I’m just…not sure he’s the type of person an impressionable young lady should be taking advice from. Hence the pick up lines."

[townstoast-blog]

"I like Alvin, Cheria. He's very nice to me, and I want to play the game. It makes everyone I talk to happy. Right Ludger?"

[proofofchoiceinactive]

"Where on earth did you hear these from?"

[townstoast-blog]

She shows Ludger Alvin's book. "I borrowed this book from Alvin. It has all the sayings in them."

[notthemaskofbarona-blog]

"If you’re cold, you can always use me as a blanket.”

[townstoast-blog]

"Was that an earthquake or did you just rock my world?"

[blurter-of-truths-blog]

"I see…Sophie - pick up lines aren’t exactly…appropriate for you to just say to anyone."

[townstoast-blog]

"I'm not saying them to anyone, Cheria. I'm only telling my friends - like Ludger."

[notthemaskofbarona-blog]

"I must be in heaven, I’m looking at an angel~!"

[townstoast-blog]

She giggles. "Was your father a thief? 'Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes."

[blurter-of-truths-blog]

"Ludger, explain!"

[proofofchoiceinactive]

"W-what!?"

[townstoast-blog]

She shows Cheria her book. "Alvin let me borrow his book, you have to say this to your friends until they laugh or blush."

[proofofchoiceinactive]

What is going on?

"U-um…"

[townstoast-blog]

"Are you a tamale? ‘Cause you’re hot!"

[blurter-of-truths-blog]

"Sophie! What are you doing?!"

[townstoast-blog]

"I'm playing a game with Ludger, Cheria. Would you like to play too?"

[proofofchoiceinactive]

What is going on?

"U-um…"

[townstoast-blog]

"Are you a tamale? 'Cause you're hot!"

"…."

[townstoast-blog]

"You make me melt like hot fudge on a sundae!"

[wilder-z]

[townstoast] "You are so fine, I wish I could plant you and grow a whole field of you."

"I wish I could do that, too, sweetheart. There’s not enough of me to go around."

[townstoast-blog]

"If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I would be walking through my garden forever. "

[proofofchoiceinactive]

[townstoast] "Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?"

That’s adorable.  “Did you come up with that on your own?”

[townstoast-blog]

She shows Ludger the book, before flipping through it and reading him another pick-up line.

"Do I know you? Cause you look just like my next girlfriend."
