Quid pro quo, Clarice, because while Cyg had weaseled more information out of Elisa than she’d ever managed to before, Elisa had, unknowingly, put a spotlight on something very personal in turn. Completely by accident, which basically summed up the entirety of their relationship, and wasn’t that a bitch?

Because while Cyg hemmed and hawed over what to do about the frame for Isaac Merlo’s bike, she was also hemming and hawing about what to do about Isaac, in general. Were they dating? Did he even want that? Did she even want that? Was he prepared for the overprotective kaiju monster she was about to unleash on him if he showed up at her door at 3 AM and cried into her shoulder again? Was she prepared?

God damn it, Elisa. God damn it.

“Just. Bike stuff,” she said, making a hand gesture like waving away an annoying insect. “Do I start brand new or do I repurpose an old frame. Both options are fine I’m just not sure if it… cheapens it.”

She didn’t miss the exhaustion in Elisa’s voice, like a leech, draining the energy out. She met her friend’s emerald gaze and tilted her head, giving her a knowing, lecturing look.

“You don’t have to do all of this alone,” she said, and it wasn’t warm, the way she said it, but more admonishing. Because Elisa was a dramatic ass bitch, and Cyg loved her for it, but she had a habit of keeping everyone at arms length. “I know you think you do. Because of your inner demons or your troubled past or-- or whatever. But you really don’t, Elisa.”

She took a long drink, then, and covered a small burp with the back of her hand.

“When it’s time to go wolf hunting, you just let me know.”

Any underlying suggestion of Isaac Merlo was lost in the haze of champagne bubbles as Elisabeth frowned, thinking. Bike stuff, indeed.

"I suppose it depends on how decent the frame is? Or if starting over is overall the best chance for good quality." Elisabeth had no idea what she was talking about, but the alcohol was loosening her tongue, and the careful thought that usually characterised her statements was fading fast. "I'm certain whatever path you take, however, it won't be cheapened in the slightest. You work too hard for that to be the case."

That was true for both of them: they worked too hard.

Elisabeth pulled her knees close to her chest, shrugging lightly at ana fell's gentle admonishment. "I am not given to monologuing about myself. For the best, I think. It's not so much a wish to do things alone, as it is a... hm. There are some things I think that we are meant to shoulder alone, is all."

An excuse that she knew, even in its utterance, Cygne would not accept.

"Everyone has a troubled past, in some regard. You. Me. None of us make it through life unscathed, or without encountering a wolf of two. I like to think I can hunt mine alone, but..."

Her lips curled into an amused smile, one that quickly broke apart into quiet laughter.

"Well, I suppose I'll keep you in mind, should I require any additional hands. Not that I seek to agitate any predators at present."

Something relaxed in her posture as she regarded her friend, her own voice warming with alcohol and fondness alike.

"That offer goes both ways, you know."

One of the best things about Elisa was the simple way she helped Cyg achieve clarity, mostly via her own misunderstanding. As she puzzled things out, she assisted in unraveling knots Cyg didn’t even know existed.

"Yeah,” she said, half an exhale, “yeah. I’ve just gotta. Figure it out.” But Elisa was right and she really just had to choose what was going to be the best quality.

Cyg leaned back on her palms, giving Elisa a wry look. “So you don’t want to do it alone but you feel like you gotta? That’s even worse.” She laughed a little, shaking her head. “It's fine, I get it. I just want you to know I’m with you, no matter what.”

And she meant it. She really, really did.

"I know. ‘Cause if you lose me you lose your only employee.”She grinned. "I'm not the type to poke the bear, either." And then softer, her eyes going into hazy focus in the middle ground:

"I want to be the bear."

The laughter that answered ana fell was melodic in its sweetness, lilting and airy as the summer breeze that teased their golden hair.

"I wouldn't dream of risking your ire, Cyg. I think it would devastate me quicker than most."

For all the jest laden in the statement, a simple truth whispered at the centre of the declaration: I hope I never do anything to hurt you.

"You're more than my only employee. I was fine running the shop alone, and if you ever wanted me to do so again, I would. I simply prefer sharing my home and my work with you."

The starlight sparkled on the surface of the pond in front of them, the petals scattered on the liquid cosmos forgotten as the two women enjoyed one another's silence a moment longer.

"If anything happens to me, you inherit it all."

“You’re damn right,” Cyg said, words slurring on sleepy comfort, and alcohol, a tiny bit, “I’m scary when I’m mad.” But she could literally never be mad at Elisa. She’d sooner light herself on fire.

She met Elisa’s eye, willing herself to fill her own gaze with confidence.

“But we’re both tougher than we look.”

Hurt me a little. I can take it.

“That’s why nothing is going to happen to either of us. Someday, you’ll alchemize a potion to make people live forever, and you and I will go down in history as the founders of the Hoennian Winx Club.”

She snickered on the last few words, feeling it threatening to devolve into giggles.

"Someone's been enjoying a little too much champagne, hm?" Elisabeth said, highly entertained by her friend's concluding statement. "I'm a poisoner, not an alchemist. But if I discover an elixir of everlasting life, Cyg, you'll be the first person I share it with."

The haze of inebriation was taking hold of her as well, and Elisabeth stretched, rising to her feet as she looked up at the expanse of blue sky. She loved it here, in the vast outdoors -- far from the smog and light pollution that would block out the galaxy of beautiful stars above.

Inhaling the crisp night air, Elisabeth turned to her friend again with a bright smile.

"You're one of the toughest people I know, Cygne. I never doubt that about you. I just selfishly prefer you not to have to fight anyone, I suppose."

Her Gardevoir, who had remained still and poised all this time like a lady-in-waiting awaiting summons, floated over at the signs that her mistress was preparing to depart.

"It's terribly late, and I believe we're both beginning to yawn. I can prepare a bed for you in the cottage, if you like."

As she spoke, the various picnicking items began to float mid-air as they were gathered by the Gardevoir during clean up. Elisabeth cast her gaze over the waters, searching for the last of the petals bobbing on its surface.

"You never did see which petal remained, you know. Or tell me who you were playing this little game for."
