“It’s not too far, Xander. We’ve been there a few times. Remember?”

“Please, if it’s not too much trouble.”

“Happy birthday, love. Your cake looks amazing!”

“Your birthday?”

“Would you? I don’t want to impose but…”

“Very regal, Xander!”

“I get to see your radiant smile. That has made my entire day.”

“Good morning, my love.”

//Replies tomorrow! Good night, friends!

“?????”

“We’ll work on it.”

“Zelda. You can just call me Zelda.”

She wraps her arms around his neck, brushing her nose gently against his own.

“That sounds wonderful! I will gladly ask the chefs to make anything you like! Promise!”

“I’d love to. With you beside me…”

“I…I think I’ve fallen for you too, Xander…”

“B-because you deserve it, Lord Xander! You have been equally kind to me, sir!”

“Your…Your highness! I’m…flattered!”

“Oh wow! This looks amazing! Thank you, Lord Ryoma!”

“Wonderful! I’ll be sure to bring him along, if he’s available!”

“Sounds like maybe it would benefit you to pay each house a visit…ask around and determine for yourself!”

“You mean it? You’d like to?”

“I’m facing a similar dilemma.”

“…I’d love to stargaze with you one evening…”

She smiles softly, blushing.

“Thank you! Would it be possible to invite Lord Xander as well?”

“I apologize for startling you…I just wanted to properly introduce myself. I’m Zelda.”

“Reading. Learning. Looking up at the stars…poetry…”
