'It's because of you that I know what love is.'

     Thoma sighed, it had been a week since Kazari left the Kamisato household and everything had finally settled down after both her and Ella's leaving and everyone had gone back to their normal schedule. During those newfound peaceful times, Thoma had thought a lot about relationships and talked to Abdiel about them as well.

     While working and cleaning the floors, Thoma asked Abdiel how to take the next step in his and Ayaka's relationship to which Abdiel said, "Dude, I think its time for me to give you this, I've been told that this book helped my dad and mom get married."

    "Really? Have you read through it?" Thoma had asked.

   "Yup," Abdiel nodded, "But I think you should read it as well."

   "I'll return it back to you soon!"

   "I expect good news!"

   So, after that, Thoma quickly flipped through the pages whenever he had free time and seeing everything that was on that book... well, he couldn't really do.

  "How's the book?" Abdiel asked after two days.

  "Well, I can't do much of it." Thoma replied.

   "Ah, yeah." Abdiel nodded.

    "Like this one," Thoma opened the book a read the page aloud, "Move in together- by moving in together, you will be able to deepen your bond with your partner and learn new things about each other."

   "You and Lady Ayaka have already technically moved in together." Abdiel laughed.

   "Then we have this page that tells you to hold their hand," Thoma flipped to the next page, "I've already done that."

    Abdiel decided to not ask questions and then looked over his shoulders.

   "Hey! I bet you haven't done this one yet!" he exclaimed.

  "Feed each other?" Thoma squinted.

   "I mean... Young Lord isn't usually eating in the dining room anymore, you're her attendant so you can probably get away with going into the room for a few minutes." Abdiel explained.

   "Oh! I see what you mean!"

   "Exactly!"

   "Whoa, thanks Abdiel!"

   "No problem!"

                                                                             ...

    Ayaka leaned on both of her hands and rocked her head side to side, she had finished signing and reading through all of her documents and wondered what to do. Ayaka glanced at the notepaper that was placed at the corner of her desk and wondered if she should write Hu Tao a letter.

   "The Autumn Festival's tomorrow..." Ayaka mumbled, "I'll get her and Zhongli something from there and then send it with the letters."

  Thoma would probably want to write one as well so Ayaka reminded herself to tell him later on, Ayaka wondered what Hu Tao and Zhongli would like... this festival celebrated only crops, right?
