Started Ringabel's Happy Birthday chapter. About 1500 words in and it looks like it's gonna be a long one. Anyway enjoy this thing I found in the trash section of my tablet.
"So... Tiz..."
The mentioned boy glanced at his roommate at the sound of his name.
"What is it about Lady Agnés that you find so attractive? What is it that you seek in a woman?" Ringabel asked.
"I... I don't!" Tiz became incredibly flustered extremely fast.
"Well for my angel it's her beautiful hair, her enchanting voice, her horrible cooking skills. Please, Tiz, indulge me." The older boy purred.
"I don't like her. I mean I do. But not in that way. I don't love her. I mean I do, but love as in like family, y'know? I..." Tiz trailed off as he saw Ringabel's smirk.
"Well what is that you like about her? What makes you... Enjoy her company?"
Tiz paused, thinking. "Well she's really sweet and gentle. She's always focused on her duty and when she laughs she makes the sweetest sound... What?"
Ringabel poorly disguised a laugh as a discreet cough. "Go on."
"She's really pretty, she's got that kind of natural glow and her eyes are really soothing. She makes me happy." Tiz continued, sighing.
"Uh-huh." Ringabel nodded. "And you don't love her?"
"Well... No! Not in that way!" Tiz protested, but he was steadily turning a deep shade of red.
"Sure you don't."
Tiz let out a groan of frustration and turned away, signalling that this conversation was over.
"What about me?"
Both boys turned to the source of the sound where a little cryst-fairy was hovering at the doorway.
"You love Edea and you love Agnés. But nobody loves me!" Airy pouted.
"Airy's searching for love?" Ringabel chuckled. "Are there any boy crystal-fairy's that exist? Do you have a secret love life you're not telling us about?"
Airy whined in response, but to Tiz's surprise was turning red.
"I do in fact." She said, clearly lying. "Y'know what? I'm going to go see him right now. As you guys don't seem to appreciate me."
And with that the fairy sauntered out of the room, huffing as she did so.
The two boys shared a look, and then burst out laughing.
"Also Agnés's voice isn't nearly as annoying."
Behind the door to the boy's room, Agnés and Edea listened closely.
"It seems Tiz really likes you. Those are some really nice things he said." Edea remarked.
Agnés went pink. "I suppose so. And what about you? Ringabel said some nice things about you."
Edea snorted, perhaps a tad too loudly. "Yeah to me and every other girl he's met in his life."
Her slightly raised voice stopped the chatter from the boys room.
Edea grabbed Agnés's hand, and the two fled before the boys could investigate.
Later, at dinner, Agnés inquired as to where Airy was.
"Ah." Ringabel said. "I believe she said she was off to meet her love."
To further this illusion, during this time, Airy had locked herself in the bathroom so nobody could find her. Pity she was missing dinner. And it was her favourite too.
