She smiled. " You're right. We are. "

"I was, but..." he trailed off, holding both his hands up, his smile reassuring. "Nothing's wrong. It's just been a while since I was in Rinascita. Figured we were due a catch up."

She's humming a soft tune, carried by the wind. Her bare feet splashing around in the cool river.

They reach the city quickly, Cartethyia looking around for a store, so Rhombus could see his reflection on the window. " Over there. "

Another nod, and Rhombus is quick to follow after her. Taking a few long strides to walk along beside her. Best believe he has the biggest smile on his face under that mask of his.

" You were looking for me ? " Slowly, her flustered features returned to normal. " Is something the matter ? "

Stifling a chuckle behind his hand, Rover's answering smile is gentle, reaching all the way up to his eyes. "I was hoping to find you here."

Leans her head against 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗥's shoulder. So tired ...

His excitement was cute. Made Cartethyia feel good about her handiwork. " Right this way. " she motioned towards the direction of the town and began to walk.

“ Alrighty then. Oh, I am so excited to see what you have done. ” he's bouncing on the tips of his toes a bit, he can barely contain the excitement.

She nodded. " Then let's head back. The town is only ten minutes on foot from here. "

“ We could do that indeed ! Shop windows work as great substitutes for mirrors. ” with a nod, he stands up from his seat. “ Oh ! Please, just Rhombus is fine. ”

" Hm. We could find a shop window in town. " she hummed thoughtfully. " Pleasure to meet you as well, Mister Rhombus. "

♢ 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚕𝚍'𝚜 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝙰𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 ♢@ofmaskedjester.bsky.social · last mo.

“ I am unsure. But a mirror, or a shop window would work ! ” he turns to face her. “ Then you may call me Rhombus. Happy to make your acquaintance. ”

/ oh, look. another automated bot begging for free money. 🙄

" Hm. Where are we going to find a mirror ? " she tapped her chin. " Feel free to call me Cartethyia, by the way. "

♢ 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚕𝚍'𝚜 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝙰𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 ♢@ofmaskedjester.bsky.social · last mo.

He is perking up ! Happily clasping his hands together. “ I do ? My, I cannot wait to see it in the mirror ! Thank you very much, Miss. ”

" There. That should do it ! " she beamed, leaning back to admire her own handiwork. " You look really pretty, Mister. " ✨️

He even removed his hat too ! Sitting with it resting in his lap, along with his hands. Ears wiggling happily to the humming.

She's humming a soft tune while adding colourful flowers to his hair. It's a good thing he's seated down, or else she wouldn't be able to reach.

He's staying very still to allow her to do so ! Rhombus doesn't seem to mind it.
