Once they're inside, Jean prepares the hot chocolate and passes it to Amber, before smothering her with an enormous blanket. "Thank you Jeeaan...also, do you know when Eula will come?" says Amber, suddenly alert as she quickly downs her drink.

"Jeez Amber, slow down with the drink, you're going to burn your throat. But anyways, Eula arrives at 8:15AM, every day. Why do you ask?" ponders Jean, taking the mug from the Outrider. "Eula's been... at least, I think, been avoiding me. Every time I greet her she just ignores me. Did I do something wrong?" asks Amber, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm sure you haven't. Did anything significant happen to drive this change? I mean, you two are incredibly close," comments Jean, curious.

A knock is heard on the door, and Lisa's smooth voice is heard. "Jean, is someone there with you?" she asks. "Yup, it's Amber, but you can come in," replies Jean, and Lisa enters, a rustle of purple fabric as emerald - green eyes meet golden ones. "Amber, what are you doing here?" ponders Lisa. "She's been having... some issues with our Spindrift Knight," mutters Jean, as Lisa leans over to take a cup of hot chocolate.

"Anyways, she kissed me, so there's that I guess," shrugs Amber, before Jean immediately raises her hand to her mouth. "Well, that explains everything. She's avoiding you because she's not sure if you return her feelings," says Lisa. "My, my, Eula has certainly been forward with her advances, hasn't she?" smirks Lisa.

"I-I guess," mumbles Amber, dipping her head in order to hide her blushing face. "Now, there's something even more important. Do you return Eula's feelings, Outrider Amber?" states Lisa, a steely glint in her eyes. "O-Of course! Eula's such an amazing person, and her dancing's even more mesmerizing..." starts Amber, as her voice gets quieter with every word.

"Ooh~ You've seen her dance, have you now? Well, I can't blame you, it must've been magnificent. She is from the Lawrence Clan after all, perfection is engrained into them," chuckles Lisa. "Now, just await for her arrival. Once she's signed in, make sure to stop her from leaving. Clear up any and all misunderstandings, and confess your feelings to her as well, alright?" commands Lisa. "Got it!" exclaims Amber.

The three of them wait until it strikes 8.

 "I'm out of here, see you in a bit, Jeanie," says Lisa, leaving. "Amber, just hide yourself under those blankets. Eula will be here any minute," says Jean.

Just as the words leave her mouth, a sharp tap is heard upon the door. "Grandmaster Jean, may I come in?" asks Eula. "Just a moment!" exclaims Jean, making sure to hide the Outrider thoroughly, before assenting to Eula's request. The blue - haired girl stepped in and bent over at the table, signing in, before Jean speaks. "Ah, Eula, mind staying here for a minute? I need to go grab some tea. Thanks!" yells Jean, hastily making her way out of the room. Eula then takes a seat, sighing.

"EULA!" shrieks Amber, emerging from the blankets, and upon seeing her, Eula immediately gets up, but Amber's too quick, clutching onto the knight's feet, preventing escape.

"O-Oh... hey Amber," mutters Eula. "What do you mean 'hey,' Eula! Don't abandon me like that again!" shouts Amber, hugging her, tears rolling down her cheeks. Eula softens at the sight and slowly hugs back. "Listen up. I love you too, okay! I have for a while, ever since I saw you dancing, I fell in love. So, for fuck's sake, own up because I don't hate you for kissing me, OKAY!" huffs Amber, panting.

"I- Um, I didn't know you... also felt the same way," mumbles Eula, turning her head. "Well, now you do!" exclaims Amber.

"So kiss me!"

Before Amber has time to react, Eula pounces at the request, elegantly locking their lips together, her hands weaving through the chestnut curls of the Outrider. Amber never realized how cold Eula's lips were; but that might be because of her Cryo vision. Nevertheless, the Spindrift Knight was blushing, and quite deeply, Amber noted. She leans further into the kiss that tasted like candy, her cheeks flushed with delight as her Pyro vision starts to pulse, making both knights retreat in surprise. "What's up with your vision, bun?" chortles Eula. "I-I don't know! Also, what's... bun?" stutters a flustered Amber.

"You remind me of a bunny, sweetheart," giggles Eula, and the Outrider nearly collapses from all the affectionate endearments. "S-So... uhm, what are we?" stutters Amber. "I'm going to guess we're dating, which makes us girlfriends," chuckles Eula, stepping forward and yet again, smothering the Outrider with her chest.

Amber discreetly touches her chest, and a high-pitched yelp is heard from the latter. "Soft," mutters Amber, grinning up at the flushing Eula. "I-" starts Eula, before the door opens, causing the two to spring away from each other.

"So, fixed your issues?" asks a smug Jean. "Yeah!" answers Amber. "Certainly looks like you did," chuckles Jean, as she takes a seat at her desk. "W-What do you mean by that?!" exclaims Amber. "Why don't you two go ahead and check a mirror?" replies Jean, shooing them out.

They shrug, before walking over to the bathroom. "Eula! You messed up my hair~" whines Amber, a playful grin on her face.

And indeed she did.

Amber's usually well-kept hair was a complete mess, as she ties it back and realigns her bunny headband. Comparatively, Eula's face was a mess, her lip balm smeared all over her face from the deep kisses. "Damn. Jean was right," mumbles Eula, fixing her makeup.

The two step out before Eula speaks. "Hey, Am, I know we're supposed to do work and shit, but do you want to do a free day? Like let's do a commission or two and end it there. I want to spend more time with you..." says Eula, not making eye contact.

"Sure! And me too, hehe!" laughs Amber. They head over to the Adventurer's Guild, to which they are asked to defeat two Ruin Guards at Brightcrown Canyon. They swiftly finish up the job and share a celebratory hug as always.
