I. Small Girl, Big Responsibilities

[With new arrivals comes new responsibilities-- especially considering one of those arrivals just so happens to be one of the students of the branch campus. While he may not be a member of Class IX, she is currently the only instructor present that knows him. Ash being... well, Ash... she knows it isn't going to be easy. He's going to want to go off on his own and here, there's not much she can do to stop him.

So right now, she just wants to focus on giving him the best welcome dinner that she can. Maybe if they really made him feel welcome and he enjoyed himself, there wouldn't be any need to worry about him going off on his own.

...wishful thinking.]

I don't normally cook with alcohol however... I think he might like it...

[Ash Carbide liked what Ash Carbide shouldn't have. It might be worth indulging him a little though.]

I wonder what's best...?

II. Would You Light My Candle?

How pretty!

[This festival has a soft and enchanting glow to it, as residents and mirrorbound alike are encouraged to light candles with bonds and loved ones. Just seeing the flickering glow was putting her in a good mood.]

They say that if you light it with someone you care about, it will bring good luck to your relationship.

[Perhaps it is a bit sappy, but she does have to admit that she has a bit of a soft spot for things like this. But it also makes her think of people that she misses; people that had come and gone and those that were simply gone. It's a bittersweet feeling.]

III. Sweetest Treats

[One other interesting thing about this festival was that it had a pretty simple dish going around. It was a thin pancake topped with fruits, nuts and cream that looked absolutely delicious. The thing was-- it was meant to be shared. Much as she'd like to eat it--]

...it would look pretty sad if I ate it by myself, huh...?

[She laughed awkwardly, but-- it's not like she doesn't feel anything looking at other couples doing it. Quite the opposite. But those were the kinds of feelings that she didn't like having, and pushed down. It wasn't like there weren't people she could ask. But it would feel weird with the connotation. Although she was quite happy overall, it was pretty complicated.]

All this over a silly dessert...

[Time to slap her face and pull it together. Maybe-- maybe she'd just ask the person she wanted to and be done with it. Or maybe you'd also like a bite and want someone to help you get it.]

IV. Wildcard

(( Anything else, discussed or otherwise! ))

[fiddlestick]

Something tells me that school would fall apart if you ever took a job somewhere else.

[Honestly Towa, you always do so much. But ah, joking about it]

Haha...maybe our date should be me making you a nice bed to nap in.

[overworker]

Oh please, it's not like that at all.

[She only does what needs to be done, it's fine. There are a lot of people there way more incredible than her. But his teasing gets her to blush-- and the rest just makes her pout.]

Don't you dare!! I have plenty of time to rest, but it's not every day I get a date with you.

[fiddlestick]

[Yeah he laughs gently at the pouting.]

Haha, awww. Not even if I wear a cute nightgown for you?

[overworker]

If you did that, I don’t think napping would be the first thing on my mind.

[Sorry, it’s just the truth.]

[fiddlestick]

Haha...Yeah, I could see why.

[But talking about dress up does make him think back to something last month with Crow. ]

How would you feel about heels?

[overworker]

Heels?

[Oh. That was definitely Crow's doing. But he was right about it.]

You'd look really good in heels. You have really nice legs.

[fiddlestick]

You think so, huh?

Well, okay! I just wasn't sure you'd be into them because of....erm, height reasons.

[Because they'd make him even taller than her]

[overworker]

[Well it’s not like she hadn’t thought about that but—]

I know— but that doesn’t change the fact that you’d look really attractive in them.

[Her best friend grew taller while he was dead— she’s pretty sure she’s just meant to deal with this the rest of her life.]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, in that case, maybe I'll wear them for the date.

[Yeah Crow growing extra while he was dead is BS. Elliot fully agrees, leave height for the living.]

[overworker]

I have to admit, I'd like to see it.

[The idea of him going out of his way to wear anything special for their date is a really nice feeling.]

...as long as I can still reach to kiss you.

[fiddlestick]

[....]

So two rege max, got it.

[Sorry Towa, you left yourself WIDE OPEN for that one]

[overworker]

[SHE IS BREAKING UP WITH YOU RIGHT THIS INSTANT. Love is dead.]

Ooohhhh you’re so mean!!

[I mean, those words probably don’t have a lot of impact properly when she continues to massage him but.]

Maybe I don’t want to kiss you after all.

[fiddlestick]

[He's laughing a little]

Sorry sorry! Please don't do that!

[overworker]

[Rude! Towa reaches around blindly and pinches his cheeks.]

You're lucky I love you a whole lot.

[Also known as, "you were always going to be forgiven".]

[fiddlestick]

[He makes a little noise at his cheeks being pinched. Unfair] Nnah-!

I know, I know. I'm very lucky for that.

[overworker]

[Okay, but that noise was really cute so. She'll relent with a giggle. Instead, she'll just lean against his back a little, hugging him.]

Well, it's only fair to say I'm pretty lucky too.

[fiddlestick]

[And she's really cute right back. He will lower his hands to cover her own affectionately, leaning back against her]

Then we're both lucky.

Having a chance to get to know you better has been one of the best parts of being here.

[Back home, they never quite had chances like that. They had their own lives, and things were always coming up. ]

[overworker]

Awww... I feel the same way.

[Lately there have been a lot of things that have been more painful than not. However--]

It's one of the things I'm most grateful for. I wouldn't change any of it.

[She leans up and kisses him on the cheek.]

[fiddlestick]

Me too.

[The kiss on his cheek gets a smile. He turns his head to he can kiss her forehead]

I love you.

[overworker]

Love you too, Ellie.

[She smiles and lets herself rest there for a few moments. It was really nice getting to have this time with him. She'd missed it, the last few weeks.]

Buuut I should probably let you get some rest.

[Yes. This hypocrite is lovingly going to try and put you to bed.]

[fiddlestick]

[It was a nice peaceful few moments, sitting in comfortable silence with someone he loved so. But eventually, the hypocrite comes forth]

Ahah...I guess it's getting pretty late.

[But...]

Would you like to sleep in here tonight?

[overworker]

[Well, at least he's learned a fine trick to win her over.]

Heehee. I'd like that.

[There's no way she can turn down a night of softly cuddling with Elliot.]

[fiddlestick]

[Aw yes. He smiles, he was hoping she'd be open to that idea. Softly cuddling with Towa seems like a perfect remedy]

I was hoping you'd say that.

[He reaches his hand up to cup her cheek]

How about you go get your stuff while I change? Er...into pajamas.

[Sorry no kinky wear tonight]

[overworker]

[Elliot, you could wear a unicorn onesie and she'd still be attracted to you.

But it's fine, she knows! She's behaving. Only soft cuddles here. She puts her hand over his on her face for a moment before she pulls herself up off the bed to get moving.]

Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes

[fiddlestick]

[A unicorn onesie? Towa who do you think he is.

He lets her pull away, moving to get up himself]

See you soon.

[....It'll be music pajamas with a music pun shirt. That's who he is]
