Nora was young, but she knew the underlying hints of romance when she saw them.

It was almost painfully awkward watching Horo and Lawrence bicker and lament as they mourned their lost goods from the previous night's theft. The shepperd merely tilted her head to the side curiously as she saw them sigh and give up their fight.

"You're hopeless," Horo declared, turning away from him.

"I-It's not my fault!" He turned to Nora for support, but there was nothing she could do. She offered a nervous smile before coughing.

She turned away for a brief moment and heard harsh whispers, and she couldn't help but genuinely grin at the couple's misfortune, if only because their reactions were so glaringly adorable. They were dreadfully unlucky and fortunate at the same time.

Fortunate to have each other and unlucky in everything else.
