“It's, um . . . i—it's complicated , ,”

[ Fidgeting. Gulping, before letting out another sigh. ]

“But, um, still! I'm still really happy that you're still able to visit me, ehe! — when, um, no one else would.”

[ A bittersweet smile on the mage's face. ]

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

"Lancer, Lancer....oh! The one who drew that picture of me for my birthday? Why wouldn't your Mom want you hanging around with him? They seem nice!"

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

[ Ralsei smiles back at Rei trying to cheer him up before responding. ]

“W—Well, um. There's Lancer . . . but I don't really see him around anymore— and besides, mother really wouldn't want me interacting with him again anyway . . .”

[ A sigh. ]

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

Asriel takes Cobalt's paw in an attempt to cheer him up as they continued to walk through the castle.

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

Light World for a while . . . after everything that happened, I think it's best I focus on what's here right, y'know?”

[ A sigh escapes the darkner. ]

“But it'd be nice to have a reunion . . . well, no one else really visits besides you nowadays . . .”

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

“Ehe, well, you know— mother never really gives me a choice when it comes to sprucing up the castle.”

[ As disappointing as it sounds, he still tries to keep up a smile when he says that. ]

“Other than that— I've never really, um . . . got to go to the

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

"Yeah!" He follows Cobalt through the hallway, looking around the place. "I see not much has changed around the castle, although I suppose there's no real need. Do you still hang out with those people from the Light World?"

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

Reaaaaally thinking about all the stuff that happened back then . . .

. . . All that pops up into my mind is my favorite drink!

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

“Yeah, not much has changed. It's same ol' same ol'!”

[ He heads through the door and out into the castle's hallway. ]

“But I'm sure it'll still be a fun time regardless!”

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

He stands up from the chair and follows Cobalt towards the door. "It's been so long since I've been there, I wonder if anything has changed...then again it's a field, not much there to begin with."

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

“Sure!”

[ Ralsei nods with a smile. ]

“It'll be nice to see it again!”

[ The blue makes his way over to the door and reaches for the knob, twisting it and swinging the door open. He then gestures for the other to follow along. ]

“C'mon!”

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

"Why don't we go to those fields again? I remember it being a chill place to hang out and I'd imagine you could need the fresh air."

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

— he'll risk it so that he can spend more time with the goat monster. He doesn't want to let him down! ]

“We can do whatever you wanna do!”

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

[ Ralsei pauses to think about it for a moment. ]

“Well . . .”

[ His mother would berate him if he took even long . . . but he did miss spending time with Rei. ]

“Okay. Sure! Why not? What's the worst that could happen?”

[ Being locked up in the dungeon again? But

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

"You sure you can't wait a little longer on all that? Your body might need more time to adjust after that spell and besides...we could like, hang out and stuff after so long."

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

“We can do whatever you wanna do!”

“Well . . .”

and since I casted that sleep spell, I'm worried I missed a whole lotta things! Have to catch up with mother and the school . . .”

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

“Meh, then I guess your tastes aren't just that cool.”

[ The darkner shrugs— before breaking into laughter. Readjusting his glasses and dusting off his robe, he looks on over to the door. ]

“I'll have to head out in a bit though. Got really busy with stuff—

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

He couldn't help but break into a smile as he ruffled Cobalt on the head. "I'm just not one for those kind of tastes, y'know?"

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

[ If Rei wants to push the conversation forward then Ralsei would gladly following along with that. ]

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

[ Ralsei would take a few seconds to compose himself before pulling back and letting go, quickly putting up a typical silly grin of his. ]

“Well, cool guys drink Windex! And— I didn't see you drink any, haha! That meaaaans I'm the coolest! Hehe!”

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

"Right..." He felt some tears coming along, but he quickly wiped them away so they wouldn't be seen. "A-Aaaanyway, this isn't like us, is it? We're supposed to be two cool guys not some crybabies! Ahaha...ahaha....ahhh...."

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

“Of course.”

[ The mage only hugs even tighter, really wanting to show Rei how much he means to the darkner. ]

“You don't have to apologize. We'll deal with everything together.”

[ He had a bittersweet expression— one Rei couldn't see since they were in an embrace. ]

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

Asriel's face lit up into a faint blush as he was embraced in his partner's hug. "Cobalt I....you're right, I'm sorry." He paused for a moment before returing the hug, not letting the mage go. "Thank you...thank you so much...."

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

[ Ralsei pauses . . . then frowns once more for a moment before letting out a sigh and adjusting his glasses. The mage got up from his seat and made his way over to the other, pulling him into a warm embrace. ]

“Again, it's okay, I promise. Everything's alright now.”

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

"I love you too Cobalt, which is why I can't stop feeling so bad for what happened and it caused you to get in trouble..." It seems he's in a loop of the topic, gonna need to snap him out of it.

[.ೃ࿐ 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐓 ☆ @StarsoulMage]

[ Ralsei sighs and lets go. ]

“Well . . .”

[ He fidgets once more, really not knowing what else he could do for Rei. But . . . ]

“I'll always be here for you regardless. Love you to pieces!”

[ The mage gives a hearty laugh as he pats the other goat on the head. ]

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔸𝕤𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕝 @ShiftOfGoats]

"I'll need to ask Prisz about it, since I shouldn't really be here to begin with, but I didn't want to be away from you, man...thanks though."
