Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

"..."

[King Acunasti]

"Well," Valentin chuckled. "You gonna talk?"

[Eltee]

"I, Well... Yeah. You were... I never really..." Aarys sighed. "You just seemed so... Perfect."

[King Acunasti]

"I wish that was true." Valentin murmured.

[Eltee]

"Valentin!" Aarys said. "By my definition of perfect, you fit the bill. In every way, I swear to you."

[King Acunasti]

"I had no absolute clue you were interested in me at the estate." Valentin said.

[Eltee]

"You... I dunno. At the very very beginning, although I'm ashamed to admit it..." Aarys started, looking away. "I guess it was for your looks at first." She peeked back at him. "But, as I got to know you, everything just blossomed, until you were the only thing I had room for in my heart."

[King Acunasti]

"That was pretty poetic." Valentin said. "For me, I think it started with your voice - just the way you talked. Your looks definitely had a lot to do with it, but your voice, that smile, and those eyes just drove me crazy."

[Eltee]

"Your eyes..." Aarys said dreamily. "You can't understand. When I look at you, and I know you are thinking about something, your eyes are as deep and tumultuous as an ocean in a tempest. It's... You just seem so mysterious, but honest and straightforward... If that makes sense."

[King Acunasti]

"That was super cheesy." Valentin laughed. "But it was just as sexy. Hey, why didn't you ever talk to me that much on the estate?"

[Eltee]

"I... I dunno."

Spoiler:

I used to have a crush on you... Until I took a timeskip in the knee.

"The timing never seemed right, I guess."

[King Acunasti]

"I used to hit on you all the time, though!" Valentin said.

[Eltee]

"I... Well... I dunno." Aarys said. "I guess I was preoccupied with training."

[King Acunasti]

"Uh huh," Valentin laughed. "Good excuse."

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Stupid timeskip! Out of character explanations!

"Yeah." Aarys said, smiling. "Remember the first thing you said to me?"

[King Acunasti]

"What's that?"

[Eltee]

Aarys laughed, the sound like chimes in the wind. "Wanna dance?"

[King Acunasti]

"Oh, man..." Valentin laughed, his face getting red.

[Eltee]

Aarys extended her hand. "Wanna dance?"

[King Acunasti]

"I don't know." Valentin chuckled. "We'll look like idiots in front of the One and the officers."

[Eltee]

"Oh." Aarys quickly withdrew her hand. "Tonight, then."

[King Acunasti]

"Don't we have...other stuff to do tonight?"

[Eltee]

"We'll squeeze it in." Aarys said conspirationally.

[King Acunasti]

"We've got to try that new stuff too." Valentin laughed, standing from the log.

[Eltee]

Aarys reddened. "Um... Heh... Riiiight."
