Author's note: Well, it looks like my story has caught some people's attention.This request was made by Patient 0 zero one of the first readers of "The Tactician and The Dancer".He asked me about this in one of my reviews in my story, but my story mainly focused on Robin and Olivia and their children's romance.Plus I had planned to pair Inigo with Noire already.I hope this answers his request.
To the readers of The Tactician and The Dancer, I made a poll for "Who should Morgan end up with in "The Tactician and The Dancer?""Cast your vote there please.
"This is quite heavy." Noire put down a crate with various Christmas decorations.
"Noire." Laurent tapped her lightly on the shoulders.
"Ahhh, Oh it's just you Laurent." Noire let out a breath of relief.
"Might I inquire about the actions you were just partaking in?" Laurent looked at the crate that Noire was just lifting.
"You mean bringing the decorations from storage?"
"Indeed. Would you care to explain why you participated in this action solitarily?" Laurent adjusted his glasses.
"Well, I thought that the decorations should come from the storage area." Noire twiddled her fingers
"Unacceptable. Noire, we have conversed in a conversation regarding this topic before." Laurent said firmly.
"I know we did, but it is the middle of the night and I didn't want to wake anyone."
"If you are insisting on transporting the decorations immediately, I am accompanying and assisting you." Laurent started walking in the direction of the storage area.
"NO. I mean I couldn't trouble you, it's the middle of the night." Noire said panicked.
"Nonsense, it is my pleasure in assisting you. I insist." Laurent continued walking.
"But I." Noire tried to catch up to Laurent but he was walking fast. 'I can't let him go to the storage area that's where I am hiding his gift. I have to outrun him.' Noire thought to herself before dashing into a sprint.
"What is the exact reason for your sudden increase in velocity?" Laurent said as Noire passed him at an alarming rate of speed.
'Can't let him see his gift.' Noire thought in her head.
"You're cannot possibly be under the impression that you are going to sprint ahead of me and try to do all the labor solitarily." Laurent started running faster. Noire ran into the storage area and took a parcel with incomplete wrapping and tried to look for a place to hide it. Laurent ran through the door, but unfortunately Laurent was moving pretty fast and did not have enough time to stop.
"My most sincerest apologies Noire, but the velocity at which I was travelling at made it difficult to stop abruptly." Laruent got up and dusted himself off. Laurent extended a hand to help Noire get back up.
"It's fine."
"What is that in your hand?"
"Nothing." Noire put both her hands behind her back.
"I am curious to find out whatever 'nothing' you are so desperate to hide."
"I can't show you…yet." Noire backed up
"Why not you have piqued my interest with the 'nothing' behind you?" Laurent said like… well a kid at Christmas.
"INSOLENCE I SAID I CANNOT SHOW YOU YET. WAIT FOR A FEW HOURS." Noire went into a rage.
"If that is your request then I shall not argue with it." Laurent said as he left.
"Did I just? Oh no. Wait Laurent, here you can see it." Noire ran after Laurent and gave him the crudely wrapped parcel.
"This is the encyclopedia regarding new scientific theories." Laurent gasped in shock.
"I heard you talking to Anna about the encyclopedia so I asked around town a bit and found nothing. I asked Severa and she knows the market square extremely well and she found it. So what do you think?" Noire twiddled her fingers.
"I will make extreme use of this, my thanks."
"Merry early Christmas." Noire smiled.
"And to you." Laurent started walking away.
"Wait Laurent, you're supposed to wait till tomorrow to give the gifts."
"I am eager to utilize the properties of this book, now. I know what you are planning on presenting me with already, so why waste time?" Laurent said confused.
"Because you're supposed to do it tomorrow and um yeah." Noire said nervously.
"Is it not logical to use items that you can use now rather than wait?"
"But you're supposed to….. IMBECILE, WAIT TILL TOMORROW." Noire pointed an arrow at Laurent.
"Have I spoken out of turn? Noire wait, Noire cease propelling your arrows at me." Laurent ran off with Noire chasing him.
