@MortisEcli >>"You might've forgotten about me. . but. . to me you were the most important person in my life. I-. ."
Her voice still sounded soft. Even though his words hurt her earlier, she just couldn't deny what she once felt . . or still feels for him.
"I really loved you, Inco."
@MortisEcli >>Aomi whispered as one of her hands gently took a hold of the one that held onto her chin still. Her bottom lip trembled a bit as emotions started to overwhelm the female. Raising her free hand she hesitated for a moment to touch the others cheek, but soon enough still did it.>>
>> to hide that fact by starting to walk into the direction of the arcade and looking away from his gaze.
"Uhm. . Are there any types of games you like to play?"
Her eyes shifted to the hand Dan Heng offered, which caused the female to smile in a rather shy manner. However she did gently take a hold of it.
"S-sure. ."
A light stutter in her words as she spoke, making it obvious that she felt a bit nervous about it. Yet the mage tried>>
> finger, it was evident that she felt a bit guilty about it.
"Thank you, even though I didn't change much about the way I look."
A soft chuckle escaped her lips in that moment and soon after they curled into a warm smile.
"Yeah~, Let's go."
The fact that he almost dropped his phone had her panic for a second. She didn't expect him to get startled that much.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to scare you like that. It wasn't my intention. . ."
Her voice sounded soft yet apologetic. Scratching at her cheek with her index>
>> well.
"You're looking handsome."
Aomi whispered into his ear as she approached the other from behind. Trying to surprise the other while he was on his phone.
This time she made it there not too long after him, slightly before their agreed time. Noticing the change of his clothes, she thought she should've maybe done the same. However she did change up her hair a bit in a half up half down style, having put some flower clips in it as>>
It had been a while since the mage had shown her face around these parts of town. A quick look around wouldn't hurt a soul!
Her ocean blue eyes scanning her surrounding as she walked past stalls etc. Not looking too well where she was going, until she bumped into (reader).
@UmbraLuxuria "You don't know me yet. . . You might regret those words once you do."
She whispered as her smile faded a bit. Even though this moment was one she cherished right now, there were things hidden behind her innocent looks.
As he rested his hand ontop of hers, Aomi started gently>>
"I mean that's still nice! At least you can take it easy."
A smile appeared on her face as she said that. Though she wondered what kind of research a knight would need.
"Is it working out. . The research I mean. Have you found information you need?"
โSomething like that. I still tend to my duties when called upon, but these I have much more freedoms compared to before. So I use my spare time for a bit of personal research.โ
And other recreational activities. Having less restrictions has allowed him to indulge in new things!
@UmbraLuxuria >>Fingers trailing down his jawline before she placed it back on the table.
"Thank you, for being you as well. I treat people the way I'm being treated after all."
Cue a small wink sent his way.
@UmbraLuxuria "You're so stubborn~. . But you're cute, so I'll forgive you."
The female said with a soft chuckle, her blush still plastered on those cheeks. Feeling her heart skip each time he kissed her finger. To which she decided to gently cup his cheek and caress it with that same hand.>>
She's happy she was fast enough!
"Yeah! See ya tonight, Dan Heng~โก."
Aomi mused as she too stood up and waved him off. Gathering her stuff the mage took a deep breath, before making her way home as well.
Her own heart was racing too, though she was excited for their date!
@UmbraLuxuria >> placed a tender kiss on his finger as well. Her lips curling into a playful smirk after finally being able to return that favor.
"I guess we can agree to disagree, dear.~"
@UmbraLuxuria She didn't expect him to kiss her finger in that moment, yet it did cause her to smile. Which soon turned into a flustered look. The way he talked and placed his finger over her lips, caused the females heart to flutter and race.
Though she didn't hesitate for long and gently>>
"Oh, a knight? That's awesome, I hope our paths never cross as enemies."
The way she said it was in a joking manner. Yet she really hoped it wouldn't happen, since she has fought knights before.
"So you're like on a small vacation or something?"
โMe? Iโm a knight dedicated to serving and protecting my homeland. Though, as of late, Iโve been doing a bit of soul searching. I still uphold my duties, but I have my own personal interests to tend to now.โ
"I don't get offended easily I'd say. So you're safe on that regard.~"
The smile on her face only grew wider. Glad that the other could laugh about it as well.
"Yes, I love it since it never gets boring really. . What about you though? What's your line of work?"
โMore like I just trying not to offend, but it seems that had quite opposite effect.โ
Though he was aware it was lo in good fun. Even releasing a soft chuckle of his own.
โMercenary work, eh? Well I donโt judge. We all have to make a living somehow.โ
