Then let’s go!!

[ does not seem to have noticed… he called her out… ]

[DON'T CALL HER OUT!!!!!!!! but ok let's go, she'll take his hand again even if the other is clutching the kalim doll and thus she can't hide her face]

You're such a pain sometimes, Kalim.

Eh?

[ GENUINE CONFUSION??? ]

What do you mean??

[ though he squeezes her hand, still seeming pleased with his prize ]

I mean, you don't even think about what you say before you say it.

[leaning in to kiss him again]

Talk about critical hits.

Critical hits? What was a critical hit??

[she stares at]

Just—nevermind, you're fine. You're just really observant and really... you at the same time.

Eh...?

I guess so...

Anyway, c'mon! There isn't anything interesting here!

[ off they go again ]

[off they go]

Are you saying that because there isn't anything actually interesting or because you can think of other things?

Why can't it be both?

Great question!

I don't have an answer. I just can't wait until we can get home~

[ See, they can both be really curious, and also not thinking long term, it's fine! ]

Me neither. We've got a lot of free time.

I can think of some things I could do, but none of it's nearly as fun as this. Or being with you.

We can do them next time!! Especially while things are this calm.

[ and into the house they go~ ]

[Ruby instantly shoves open the door to Kalim's room to lead him there.

Purely because it's closer than hers.]

You're gonna jinx it, it'll stop being calm before you know it now.

-- Really?!

[ oh hey, they're going to his room, okay ]

I mean, maybe!? Use your luck power for good, Kalim, not jinxing us.

[But she leans in to give him a kiss after she shuts the door.]

[ well, he could say something, but he is easily distracted, and it's easier to lean down to kiss her back, still gentle ]

[now that they're somewhere actually private, she fully relaxes, wrapping her arms around kalim's neck and pressing herself against him]

[ he's distracted, but he wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her close, maybe a little bit of leverage. but when he needs a breath: ]

I won't jinx us. Promise.

I know you won't. Not on purpose.

[But she's already diving back in for another kiss.]

[ he wants to say something else, but oh, they're kissing again, and he's distracted as easily as he was the first time.

it's... a lot less confusing now, to kiss her.

a hand goes to her cheek, and he grins against her lips after a moment ]

We should go somewhere more comfortable, my beloved.

Yeah, o—

[and then it registers what he said, and she pulls back just. totally red, totally bewildered, married couples barely say that to each other.]

Beloved!?

[her voice is basically a high pitched squeak]

Of course!!

Is that wrong again??

I just!! Beloved is usually for people who are married!

... But it's not that I don't like it I'm just not used to hearing it!

I'm so confused... What would you normally call your lov-- girlfriend?

[ safe. ]
