Chapter 102: Read Too Much Into It
"Let’s hope this threat is dealt with as soon as possible, things could get pretty ugly if we let this fester for too long...on a more positive note, it was nice seeing the two of you again, feels like it’s been ages," Remarked Aster with a smile, as he walked out of the Knights’ headquarters with Colt and Ravella alongside him.
"Yeah, it’s too bad we couldn’t all get assigned to the same location...but it would’ve been kinda unreasonable to ask for that, especially after we already demanded to be put in the same squad," Pointed out Colt wryly.
"True, but still, it’d be nice if we could see more of each other. We should try to plan meet ups at least once or twice a month, it’d be a real shame if we all ended up drifting apart," Sighed Aster in response.
"Yeah, that’d really suck," Nodded Ravella in agreement.
"Well, I guess we should get going now. I’ll see you two later, I-...," Began Aster, as he took out a Teleport Spell Card.
"Wait! It’s almost lunchtime, so why don’t grab a quick bite to eat before heading back? This is kind of a mini-reunion, so let’s make it last," Suggested Ravella as she grabbed his sleeve, before letting go as she thought to herself, "Crap, I hope I didn’t come on too strongly...I should’ve been more casual and chill, I wish I could do that over..."
"Hm...sure, why not? I’ve got some time to kill and I’m feeling pretty hungry, plus I’m sure Tacitus can handle things in Garnet City for about another hour or so, at least," Replied Aster after glancing at the time.
"Great! What about you, Colt?" Inquired Ravella as she glanced at him, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Hm, based on her expression, she wants to get some alone time with Aster. Heh, maybe I should join them anyway, she’s bound to give me a whole lot of dirty looks, and that’s pretty hard to pass up on. But at the same time, I am rooting for her, so...fine, I’ll play along," Decided Colt after weighing his options, before adding, "I wish I could, but I already have plans, I’m supposed to meet with Lexia for lunch in a bit. So, I’ve gotta head back."
"Oh, that’s too bad. Another time, then," Replied Aster, as Colt took out his Teleport Spell.
"Uh-huh, let’s plan something soon. Well, see you guys later, have fun!" Grinned Colt, as he activated the Spell and disappeared.
