"I can't believe you're having a Christmas party while you have all this WORK to do!" Alfeegi yelled, pointing at the pile of paper that seemed to have gotten bigger than the last time. "Relax, Alfeegi. We all need a break sometime, and it's Christmas." Lykouleon explained as he stepped out of the room. "Oh, and you're supposed to have a date with you!" He quickly added in with a smirk and ran away. "Wha—Lord Lykouleon!"
When Alfeegi opened the door to go after him, he found Ruwalk standing there, grinning ear to ear. "W-w-w-w-what are you doing here?" Alfeegi felt his face heat up. "What do you mean, what am I doing here? I'm here to tell you that you're going to the party with me." He said without a change in his expression, and he left like that before Alfeegi could say anything.
Ruwalk called the White Dragon Officer as he saw him walking towards the Great Hall with papers in his arms, though wearing clothes more formal than other days. When he heard Ruwalk's voice, he started running. But the heavy papers slowed him down, and Ruwalk caught up and linked his arm. Unable to shake him off as that would make him drop the papers, he frowned as he walked in. "Ah!" Alfeegi yelled out. He had forgotten about the small wooden step and tripped. Papers flew everywhere and everyone's attention caught the two of them. Everything went quiet.
As all the papers fell, it revealed both Ruwalk and Alfeegi on the floor, Ruwalk shaking his head and Alfeegi quickly collecting all the papers. Ruwalk stood up. "This is a perfect time to tell me your answer, Alfeegi." He once again had a smirk on his face. "What?" Alfeegi looked up, with half of the papers in his arms. Ruwalk raised his eyebrow and stared at him. "Come on, Alfeegi. You can't live buried in work forever. You need time for l—"
"Shut the f--- up! God! I don't care! I don't care anymore! I have feelings for Reema, not you, you f---ing bastard! So just shut the f--- up and leave me alone!" With that outburst, Alfeegi ran out of the Great Hall. Ruwalk stood there, confused and dazed, also shocked at Alfeegi's words. Everyone stared at the door as it slammed, and turned their staring to their Yellow Officer. He was shaking. Finally, his eyes lost focus, his legs lost balance, and he fell. "Ruwalk…" Thatz stopped pigging out at the buffet table and knelt down beside him with Rune, only to find tears plipping onto the floor. Ruwalk blinked and wiped his eyes. "…?" He blinked again.
