"Nothing much. I was actually waiting for you to come back home..."

The swordsman had finished up his own work for the day. But he didn't mind being early, or the wait for them to reunite.

"Are you tired? Do you wanna lay down for a bit?"

Alas, now the man has spotted her. She had just returned from assignment & shouldn't have been seen with her current gear attire.

Feeling the futility of pulling back, she just dealt with it & casually approached with playful smile.

@zerothgIeam " We'll need to think about things like maternity leave...and settling down, won't we?

It still feels too good to be true..."

Arms clutched tight around her, neck resting on her shoulder.

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

He's all dressed up today to give @zerothgIeam a present
Especially since he's been so busy.

"Merry Christmas, Dear. I hope you like what's inside..."

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

@zerothgIeam "Oh? That's really kind of her. I'm glad she sent you the right way..."

His hands would run along her lovely silver locks. It's been a while since he had some real good news. Granted, this meant big changes for the pair.

". . .How far long is our bundle of joy, Shizu?"

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

@JunaOfCrossbell . . .
Come to my Instructors office. Now, Juna.

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

@JunaOfCrossbell What does that mean?!

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

@zerothgIeam His face was now bright red, but he couldn't help but put an arm around Shizu in excitement, and bewilderment.

"I'm...gonna be a Father..."

The fact was still settling in. Pink hues now focused on Shizuna beneath him.

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

@zerothgIeam "Wow. . .these are great! You really do know me well!
Not that I ever doubted you, obviously.~"

He really did love these gloves. They really felt nostalgic. Reminded him of his old style right when he started being an Instructor.

Then he saw the the pregnancy test.

"Eh?!" +

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

"Ada...?
Is something wrong?"

He feels the spy's eyes on him, slightly red from feeling it.

"Do you need something of me?"

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ @theredrogue]

Just blankly stares at

@LuminousAbyss_ from a distance. No real reason given. Just staring, in blank state. That she forgot to conceal herself in the shadow.

"What do you mean 'was'? You still are, Sara. Just because you don't formally have the job anymore, that doesn't change that we all still see you as our inspiration."

[𝓢𝓪𝓻𝓪 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓲𝓷 @PurpleValestein]

❝Well I like to think I was a guiding light for all you young bright eyed students! ✨❞

She had took her own shot now and downed it as she gave a wide smile from having alcohol in her system..

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

@TheGentleHart //Welcome home!

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

"Even if you do have a little problem with alcohol, there's no arguing you were a great instructor..."

He also downs his shot, his face already warm.

"Thanks for that then.~"

[𝓢𝓪𝓻𝓪 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓲𝓷 @PurpleValestein]

“I didn't spend it ALL on booze.. Just the amount left that didn't need to spent on the necessary costs..”

She wasn't doing a good job of defending herself.. Grabbing herself a shot to down one of the glasses.

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

"You definitely were. You just spent too much of it on booze!"

Well, no point fretting over the past. So he'll buy a few shotd for himself and Sara~

[𝓢𝓪𝓻𝓪 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓲𝓷 @PurpleValestein]

“Well look at you.. I wasn't getting paid that well when I was an instructor!”

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

"I suppose I'm on a decent payroll too. Thors is very prestigious after all.

Enough for me to cover what you want, Sara."

[𝓢𝓪𝓻𝓪 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓲𝓷 @PurpleValestein]

“You make it sound like I make so much! We Bracers would be fortunate you know.. But having you play the Gentleman is always fun to see.~”

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

"I find that hard to believe from the woman who might get a bump to S Rank.
But I'll play the gentlemman.~"

[𝓢𝓪𝓻𝓪 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓲𝓷 @PurpleValestein]

“You think I'm made of Mira? I can't afford the good stuff all the time~”

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

"What do you mean maybe?
...But sure, let's have some."

[𝓢𝓪𝓻𝓪 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓲𝓷 @PurpleValestein]

“Drinks are on me!

..Maybe~”

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

"I think that's strictly a problem for him. But it is what it is.

Maybe I'm not so different myself? I wouldn't have my powers had it not been for myself. You wouldn't if Rutger didn't raise you either."

[𝙁𝙞𝙚 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙡 @BracerFie]

❝Yeah.. He's pretty cool though, didn't know spider bites could do something like that to someone.❞

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

@zerothgIeam + they'd been dating for a while now, so naturally, becoming engaged was the next necessary step.

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

@zerothgIeam And just what would be inside the wrapped gift? Why, silver ring. While gold was totally doable, it matched her "silver" hair much more.

". . .Maybe this is a little sudden, but I hope you like yours.

Now I'm reaaal curious what you got for me, though."

His face was all red.

[𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘕. 🔞 @LuminousAbyss_]

"I suppose there's also that one guy in the red and blue costume. But I think he's spoken to everyone at this point. . ."

[𝙁𝙞𝙚 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙡 @BracerFie]

❝Sounds like you're doing pretty well out there in the world Rean.

On my side I'm still checking what comes along. A few interesting folk in still learning about.❞
