❝Oh?❞
if that's what the Spriggan wanted, then who was she to deprive him of that. a teasing smile fell back onto her visage as she inched a tad closer.
❝Like how your heart races over being so close with a younger woman, hmm?❞

“ It's rare to see this side of you. Normally you always have a comeback or a teasing remark to say for me. We're alone here after all. ”
He reeled back his hand, and lean back against the sofa, crossing his arms.
ㅤ
❝Well, I can't deny I have been domesticated.❞
a chuckle under her breath. if her former 'tea parties' and outbursts were considered the act of a spicy kitten, then her current demeanor was thanks to her family and friends.

Smiling, he continued to caress her purple locks, noticing how she was leaning into it the more he kept doing. He is tempted to pamper her more.
“ You're truly like a kitty. A few pats and gentle strokes on your hair, is all that I need to have you well behaved and docile .”

she froze for a moment, blinking at how casual he acted as he brushed through her locks. she could feel heat crept through her neck.
❝You're already doing it.❞

“ You sure don't waste time in trying to win me over. At least I got used to it. ”
Her playful winks are full of charm. Van simply used his right hand and gently caress her purple bangs.
“ Show you more. . .in which ways? ”
He asked with a smile staring her golden hues.

❝I certainly hope you can show it more frequently.❞
her signature wink shot, smiling with just that familiar whiff of mischief on her lips. it was always a treat pushing the Spriggan's buttons.

“ I think it's the first time you're here alone. Might as well keep you company. ”
Standing from his seat, the Spriggan made his way to his sofa taking a sit by her side.
“ You know I always enjoy your company, Renne. ”
Pouring some coffee for him.
ㅤ
❝Your office is quite homey. Can't blame a girl for being relaxed in it.❞
her reply was as elegant as it was playful, shooting a wink as she set her teacup down with a clink to her tray.
❝Is my presence disturbing you?❞
ㅤ
“ Feeling yourself at home aren't you? ”
The Spriggan stopped his work on the computer behind his desk, watching her stocking-clad legs with boots absent, as she enjoyed her tea.
A unamused look on his face, focusing his attention on her.
“ Do you need me for something? ”
ㅤ
was it so wrong to stop by and check on her favorite Spriggan? she lounged around by the couch, legs crossed yet boots absent as she sipped her cup of tea.

her arrival to Leeves was a quiet one. she didn't make a spectacle nor did she have the reputation that would attract attention. though, it would be a different story if she was in Liberl.

“...”
A calm breath slipped from the Divine Blade on an equally peaceful morning. The branch academy was as lively as ever and he had even managed to finish the usual tasks given to him by the campus and town.
What to do when his schedule was so full?

it seemed Yun Ka-fai had something interesting to add... a mention, in name, of one Erebonian one hero. with the usual letter, a ticket to Erebonia was attached.
and so, she left for the Empire to discuss... marital manners with one Rean Schwarzer.

letters from her Grandfather were rare despite their closeness and his fondness for the young Eight Leaves practitioner. so, whenever she did receive them, she couldn't help but be excited for whatever he had to say to the brunette.

unlike with his disciples, or at least based on what Cassius had shared with her, half of the time the letters held serious matter alongside the usual checkup.
for Anelace, however, it was your typical letter from grandfather to granddaughter. though, this time,
