It’s definitely not as subtle, but when have things been subtle between them?

An eyebrow is raised at the boldness of his words, but there’s no surprise and she doesn’t look away from him despite the pink hues that colour her cheeks.
[break][break]
”Yeah? Then you should do something about that, Lance.”
[break][break]
Is it a challenge or an invitation?
[break][break]
Both, perhaps.

POSTED ON Oct 19, 2021 18:38:12 GMT

Making amends feels like an impossible task.

But, shouldn’t they at least try?

So much has been lost, and even if Ana actually doesn’t care, even if she wishes they hadn’t seen each other again, she’s still family, and family will always be important to Lia.

Try.

That’s all they can do, right?

”You have a weird way of showing it.”

How can she try if she’s still so annoyed?

Okay, one more shot…

”I don’t want to lose the rest of my family, Ana.”

Of course.

There’s no reason to be surprised at his response, or about the realization that this is probably what he intended for all along. She simply looks at him, as if she actually needs a moment to consider her response:
[break][break]
”Hmm… Maybe I could, yeah…”
[break][break]
A smirk tugs at her lips then, playfully so.
[break][break]
”Is that what you want, Lance?”

The Comfey regards Danny with no more than a stare, soon choosing to return to Lia’s side. This time, instead of wrapping itself around her forearm, it lies atop of her head as if a perfect flower crown. If she minds it, she doesn’t show it, and a warm smile is given to the stranger.
[break][break]
”Hey! You okay?”
[break][break]
Her attention falls on the Pikachu then, kneeling down to be closer to eye level before reaching into her pocket in order to offer it a treat.
[break][break]
”Is this your Pikachu, by the way? It’s really cute.”
[break][break]
Of course it is. Aren’t Pikachu always cute?

you don't have to be alone (sauna)

POSTED ON Oct 19, 2021 16:23:13 GMT

Is there anything more annoying that a question answered with another question?

It’s frustrating, and it makes Lia want to scream, but instead all she does is glare at Ana from across the hot spring.

What does she think?

That Ana is selfish. That Ana doesn’t care. That Ana would prefer it if they hadn’t ran into each other today.

Deep down, she knows those things probably aren’t true, but at the moment the latter is a sentiment she also shares: things would be better if they hadn’t seen each other again.

The thought hurts.

Holding back her anger, holding the tears, Lia takes a deep breath, and her next words come as no more than a whisper.

”Whatever. Forget about it...”

Forget about them?

’Forget about me.’

Is she a pretty good kisser?
[break][break]
It’s been a long time since Lia has given things like those much thought, but out of all people, Lance would be the one to know, wouldn’t he?
[break][break]
Then again, he’s teasing her and it’s obvious. It makes her pout even more, leaning in just a little closer as she looks up to meet his gaze.
[break][break]
”Just pretty good? Not great?”
[break][break]
Two can play that game.

There are many things Lia considers herself to be good at.
[break][break]
She’s a great researcher, she’s great with languages, she’s a great archer, and she’s also quite good at a multitude of other things. Thanks to being a ranger she has also developed a multitude of other skills, but would she ever say she’s great at her job?
[break][break]
No, not really. Not yet, at least.
[break][break]
But, Lance does, and the fact that he does means the world to her, even if it’s only meant to flatter her.
[break][break]
”Lance…”
[break][break]
And then he says the rest, and inevitably so, she blushes even more than before.
[break][break]
’Something else.’
[break][break]
She pouts too, all too easily falling for his teasing – as per usual.
[break][break]
”Yeah? What else?”
[break][break]
As if she really doesn’t know.

Next time.
[break][break]
Should they really be so casual about all that? Probably not, but it feels natural and it feels right.
[break][break]
”Nah, I can handle harsh.”
[break][break]
She smirks, although what she apparently can’t handle is a simple compliment coming from him, but then again, is that really a surprise? Even if slightly so, her cheeks flush, but with it also comes a soft smile.
[break][break]
”Yeah? Like what?”

It should only be expected that his words are met with a pout, but honestly speaking, a ‘six out of ten’ is more than what she expected or what she thinks her pasta deserves.
[break][break]
”Constructive, but harsh.”
[break][break]
At this, she chuckles, mirroring his smile.
[break][break]
Ordering…
[break][break]
Is this really going to become a regular thing, then?
[break][break]
She really wouldn’t mind that…
[break][break]
”Guess so. Luckily for you, I’m pretty great at ordering good food.”

”Lance.”
[break][break]
It’s such a silly thing, and yet she can’t help but smile, a quiet chuckle leaving her as she looks at him.
[break][break]
”It’s terrible.”
[break][break]
The chuckle turns into light laughter, but as little as Lia may care for her own terrible cooking, there’s something nice and comforting about hearing him say he likes it because she made it. It makes her feel warm inside.
[break][break]
”Don’t say that or I won’t try next time and I’ll be even worse.”
[break][break]
Will there be a next time?
[break][break]
Should they get used to all this?
[break][break]
Her attention returns to her pasta, avoiding questions like these.

It’s nerve-wracking.
[break][break]
Lia has never considered herself to be an overly nervous or anxious person, but watching him take a bite and say nothing feels like slow torture. She’s pretty sure her heart rate must be stupidly, and even though the smile does help, it’s not until he says he likes it that she allows herself a relieved sigh.
[break][break]
Which is soon followed by a short laugh.
[break][break]
”You’re way too nice, I bet it’s terrible.”
[break][break]
Pink hues colour her cheeks, and yet, she still smiles at him before giving the pasta a try...
[break][break]
With the sauce it’s really not that bad, but by itself? Definitely soggy and kind of really bland.
[break][break]
Isn’t pasta supposed to be one of the easiest things to make?

Tomorrow.
[break][break]
That definitely wasn’t what she intended for when saying those words (since really, Lia didn’t think her intentions through at all), but the thought is a nice one regardless, and wasn’t Lance saying over what all this was leading to anyway?
[break][break]
At least they don’t have work, or well, at least she doesn’t. It would be weird if she knew his schedule by heart, wouldn’t it?
[break][break]
Even if she’s already all too aware of on what days they’ll be working together…
[break][break]
She ponders on things like those while serving their food, soon heading to the table with two plates of pasta topped with bolognese sauce.
[break][break]
”Alright, don’t be mad at me if it’s terrible…”
[break][break]
It probably isn’t, but it probably also isn’t the best either. Did she even remember to put salt in the water?
