"WHAT THE HELL IS ALL OF THIS?!" Richard exclaimed looking at Gloandi which was disguised as a gigantic banana and has the phrase "King Richy-rich waz here! Bow down byeatch!" scribbled on the side in black paint. Richard's mind raced furiously searching for who the culprit might be, then suddenly it dawned on him. "PAAASCAAAAAAAAAALL"
"Ya called, chief?" She was behind him standing at the attention
"What manner of spirit possessed you to do this?!" He said jerking his finger back at Gloandi
"Spirit? Oh! I remember!" Richeard's demeanor dropped even further when he heard that she forgot why she vandalized Barona's valkines cryas "Asbel and I wanted to surprise you when you got back so we did this!" He lifter her up by an arm to meet his eye-level Suddenly he heard a sound like a massive fart.
"Pascal…"
"It wasn't me I swear!"

"Then who was it?" He asked in a no nonsense tone

"The valkines."

"The… what?"

"I modified the eleth output's sound oscillation to make it sound like—" He dropped her on the ground and facepalmed
"I get it. I get it." He sighed deeply wondering how on earth a genius would go to such length for a mere prank. He figured if anyone would do it Pascal would. But then how did Asbel fit into the equation? The he realized that Asbel was most likely the person who did all the masterminding and made sure they didn't get caught.

"So~ what'cha think?" Pascal said with a smile obviously please with her handiwork.

"I appreciate the though but…" Richard looked back to the gigantic farting vandalism banana that was previously Gloandi "We need to return it back to its original state."

"Y'okay…" she said standing out while sounding a little dejected.

"Don't worry you wont be in charge of it. My janitorial services will take care of it. Where's Asbel?" He asked. Pascal pointed to the castle. At the point Richard's newly wed wife had appeared and went with him to the castle. When they went to the throne room the found Asbel sitting cross-legged on the throne wearing a miniskirt that obviously belonged to pascal.
"I can explain." He said keeping a stunned face while being monotone to hide his sheer embarrassment.
"Please don't" Richard said copying his expression. Richard's bride looked stunned and Pascal was blushing bright red. After a very long uncomfortable silence Richard spoke up.
"Asbel."

"Yes?"
"Please leave Barona. When you return I want a full report of what in the seven burning blue fucks made you think THIS was a good idea!"

"Aw cheer up, Asbel!" Pascal said as they were on a ship heading toward Lhant. Asbel was watching out to see with his normal clothes back on with a dejected look on his face.
"He want's a report…"

"Well I told you drag was short for dragging people's spirits down, yeah?"
"You did."

"So why you go and do it?" Asbel was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to know what wearing a girl's skirt felt like.

"No special reason." He replied looking away to hide the weird expression on his face.

"Are you suuuuuuuuure?" She said leaning up to him. Suddenlt the boat rocked and tipped a bit. They both los their footing and fell.

"Oh. Not cool, man." Pascal said trying to get up but she was too havy or rather, something was stopping her from getting up.
"What did I land on?" Asbel said sounding disoriented. He got on all fours and realized he was hovering over Pascal. The both started at each other right in the eyes. The moment they did seemed to stretch on for much longer than it actually was. Pascal's amber colors aimed straight at Asbel's azure and violet. The silence dragged on but it was by no means an uncomfortable silence.

"We'll be in Lhant port in 3 minutes!" a crew member stated over the boats intercom. They both were so shocked to hear it they scrambled to their feet both blushing intensely and avoiding eye contact with each other.

"S-So… anything you have to d-d-do when we get… get back?" Asbel stammered
"W-we could uhhh I mean I need to… that is… The enclave. There's something I have to… get there."

"O-Oh. I see." Asbel seemed a bit down that she was leaving so early on. He knew how busy she was with her research.

"Do you… want to come with me?" She said after a few seconds of silence.

"Huh?" Asbel turned to her a bit surprised.

"Y'know. I need help with stuff and…" she looked down "It's lonely… by myself."
