Rose

I'm not in the business of losing.

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

No occasion. Just wanting to spoil my girl~

[She steps closer to wrap an arm around Alisha's waist, grinning even wider with her pulled close.]

[Alisha ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ @HylandsHeir]

ᅠᅠ
Truthfully, it would be a challenge to keep them away… But that's neither here nor there—. Ahem.

Is that so? Well, you know I'm looking forward to it. What's the occasion, hm?

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

I love having your eyes on me, so I ain't gonna complain. ✨

I made a lot of profit today, so I'm gonna treat ya' extra nice tonight, princess~

[Alisha ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ @HylandsHeir]

ᅠᅠ
Mhmmm… I'll be keeping my eye on you.

Still, I can't exactly complain about such good news. Assuming I know who that "certain somebody" is, at least.✨

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

Relax! I didn't even do anything. I just freed up my night for a certain somebody~

[Alisha ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ @HylandsHeir]

ᅠᅠ
I have a strange sense of foreboding…

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

You know it.

[Magilou @Magakazam]

You finally got rid of the good stuff, eh?

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

Made a killing selling novelties for today.

[Magilou @Magakazam]

What did you do.

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

Teehee.

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

You're too cute~

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

I know Alisha is the queen now but I'm still calling her princess because queen isn't flirty enough.

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

— you can still tell you're showing that much skin is because of my hands, heheh~

[Because Rose is holding her waist. She'd be foolish not to savor this skin to skin contact.]

I'm a very happy camper~

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

[Knowing that the exposure is a little overwhelming for her, Rose pulls an arm away just briefly in order to prepare the blankets, lifting them over the two of them.]

Come on, let's get theeeeese up here and cover you up...and there! Nice and covered. Now the only way —

[Alisha ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ @HylandsHeir]

[Alisha is silently grateful for the distance being closed without her input, otherwise it would've taken much longer. It's a wonder she isn't trembling with the anxiety that comes from being exposed.

She returns the embrace, and as many of the kisses as she can count. —

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

— and lift her onto the bed. She presses kisses onto her shoulder, hands caressing that exposed waist and stomach as she holds Alisha close.]

It's perfect, Alisha. You sure made the night special with such a great view~

I love you, princess~

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

[It's amusing to her how Alisha is the one being so forward and suggestive, but she's the most embarrassed at the same time.

When her confidence begins to crack, Rose is right there, like she always is. All she can do is laugh, reaching out to wrap her arms around Alisha —

[Alisha ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ @HylandsHeir]

[On the one hand, the attention is nerve-wracking, even from someone as trusted as Rose. On the other hand, hearing such things from the one she loves does wonders for her self-image. She chuckles nervously, stopping by the side of the bed to rub the back of her —

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

— gorgeous. What have you done to my Alisha?

[She asks teasingly. This is very much unlike her...but far be it from Rose to complain. She even trills her tongue like a tiger, playfully.]

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

I like hearing it~

[She teases before she parts from Alisha while blowing a kiss. She heads on inside, and goes ahead in getting comfortable for the night. Just barely does she get her shorts and shirt on before Alisha knocks and opens the door, which surprises Rose.] —

[Alisha ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ @HylandsHeir]

That goes both ways. Though, I probably don't even need to tell you that, hm?

[Too fast for Alisha, so she merely places a hand over the spot on her cheek, grinning through the blush.]

Of course, of course. I'll be along in just a moment. —

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

— Woah. Done already? Dang, you didn't even need to tell me to wait—!

[Then she sees. Rose almost instantly sits up on the bed, eyes fixated on the sight before her. She's stunned into silence at first, before she comes to smile and nod approvingly.]

Wow. Hey there, —

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

Well, I'm just always eager for your company, that's all.

[Rose kisses Alisha's cheek before pulling away.]

Ohhhh, fine. I'll get the bed nice and warm and ready for ya, then! But don't keep me waiting too long, okay? If I fall asleep without my cuddles, I'm gonna be mad.

[Alisha ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ @HylandsHeir]

Really? I'm not exactly trying to hide from you, Rose. That'd be silly, for a few reasons.

[The princess's shoulders shake with a silent laugh, but just as quickly she returns to her serious face.]

Yes, I suppose it is. Will you head in and wait for me? I have one last —

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

"I don't normally get that chummy with my customers, you know?

And yeah, that's me. I'm Rose, the leader of this guild."

[Chujinshu, The Dimensional Mage @FreeSpiritMage]

"Oh, you can't blame me for trying to spend some time with you and see how you're doing, right? It's nice to see ya.

I think I got your name. Rose, right?"

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

I'm always tryna find you, princess!

Come on, it's late. Let's get on to bed for the night.

[Alisha ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ @HylandsHeir]

Eep-!

[You'd think Alisha would be accustomed to such surprises by now - but no. Rose always manages to get the jump on her.]

… Oh- Good evening, Rose. Sorry, I never can predict when you'll come find me…

[Rose @scatteredrxses]

"Oh? You think you have ideas for me? Hah. Nice try, buddy."

[Chujinshu, The Dimensional Mage @FreeSpiritMage]

"Your items were pretty useful the other day. Maybe you'd like to go out on a walk together, and we'll talk some ideas, or two. How about it?"
