@StelioLudifico โ That I did. I made some trips, met a few old allies, got into trouble; the works. โ
He spoke honestly, still moving with them in tow as he hummed a soft tone.
โ It wasn't all safe, I'll admit. I've had a few close calls. โ
@StelioLudifico โadmit, some tears were trickling out.
โ I...you didn't. . .need to. . . โ his voice was a bit strained as he quickly rubbed his face with his forearm, grumbling, โ Ugh, sorry! Spare me a moment. โ
@StelioLudifico For once in the entire time of Blanche knowing Fรฉlix, this was the first time he was stunned in silence. The magician was staring into the box, before looking up to meet their gaze. He didn't hold it for long as he looked back down at the precious gift.
Shameful toโ
@StelioLudifico โ But I'm not being rude /now/, am I? โ
The thief asked softly, gently guiding them along the dance, despite how unbalanced Blanche was, Fรฉlix made it work and managed to get them back into their feet, nice and proper.
โ But I do apologize deeply for my absence, my dear. โ
@StelioLudifico Fรฉlix tilted his body to the side, letting her arm fling past him before taking hold of her wrist and tugging her into a swift but /clean/ slow-dance.
โ Aw, look at that...you closed the distance. You really DO care about me... โ
Despite how annoying he is, his laugh was soft.
@StelioLudifico โ Okay, cutie patootie~! You'll find me whenever you want! โ
He twiddles his fingers with a merry chuckle as he walked away, like a JERK!
@StelioLudifico โ Mmm, right you are! You're tired of me so the best gift would be another departure~! Got it! โ
With a wink, paired with a salute, the thief IMMEDIATELY began to leave!
WHAT?!
@StelioLudifico โ Hmm...what to do, what to do... โ
Fรฉlix tapped his chin, seeming to ponder and think about what could make up such a thing as his disappearance.
โ If I was the adorable Blanche, what would I /want/...? โ
@StelioLudifico โ Will do, cutie! Tell me anything and I miiiight follow through! โ
The male spoke, opening one of his eyes as he wore a faint smile. Truthfully; he did miss them, quite a bit. But given his line of work and theirs, he couldn't just bring her along.
@StelioLudifico โ How are you /not/ my partner? Are you saying you don't wanna be? โ
The thief put a hand on his chest, feigning hurt as he looked away dramatically.
โ And here we were, getting along...ouch! โ
@StelioLudifico โ Well...I didn't /mean/ to be gone for so long. Just travel issues, if anything! But your faaavorite is back! Hehe! โ
Fรฉlix winked a bit at Blanche before leaning forward.
โ What has my partner been up to while I was out, hmmmm? โ
@StelioLudifico โ Out 'n about, naturally! Can't let people figure that I settled down in Fontaine of all places. โ
Fรฉlix let out an amused chuckle as he put his arms behind his back, swaying one of his legs.
โ Been around to Sumeru, Liyue, and the occasional Inazuma~! โ
@StelioLudifico โ Making up for lost time, silly! โ
He hopped away, immediately pulling his eyelid down and sticking his tongue out at them before folding his arms.
โ Besides, you /totally/ missed me, didn'cha? โ
