~ Kinda the vibes we going for ig? ~

Charlie began to converse with Vaggie and Niffty aside about something Angel did not find much interest in. Because he was simply bored, the spider stepped over to Stella, who stood beside the chosen tree. She placed her hand on the bark, admiring the texture.

"Hey El," Angel spoke, grasping her attention.

"Yes?" She slowly turned to face him, waiting to see what he'd say.

"So," he paused as he thought of how to express what he wanted to address. Then he raised a brow and smirked.
"I noticed ya and Al..." he paused once more, this time for emphasis.

Stella tilted her head to the side, her wings gently fluttered as she awaited for him to continue, "Hmm?"

"...Come on," Angel leaned closer to her by lowering himself to her level, "Ya like him?"

Stella's eyes widened as her face became a light shade of pink. The feathers on her wings expanded, making her wings appear softer, "Pardon?"
Is it that obvious?! Oh no...

Angel chuckled lightly, "Ya like him, huh?"
He glanced over at her posture, her wings lightly swaying to and away from her body as she stood there still. He took note of it all.
"Maybe a bit more than like?"

She paused, only to bring her attention to her head which began to nod as if trying to focus on something else.
"Mm, perhaps?"

"Perhaps?" Angel asked again, catching up on her words to put emphasis yet again.
"Ah, alright alright." He decided to stop teasing her once he noticed her face was a lighter shade of pink than her usual tone, "I see heh. No need to tell,"

"O-okay," Stella replied, not really knowing how to. She then froze once more, glancing around from side to side before she came closer to Angel.
"Is it obvious, Angel?" She whispered to him.

"Obvious you twos are in love? Hmm, maybe a bit. At least to me. But that's okay-"

She felt her heart stop beating as her gaze locked on the spider.
"He's... in love?" Her expression grew with hope as she felt herself fill with a light bubbly feeling, "In love with me?"

"Yeah!" Angel grinned, "I can tell he's trying to impress ya."

Am I really that blind?
"Aww," Stella couldn't help but smile at the thought of that. She did sense Angel was right with what he said, based on the way she and Alastor interacted, though she was hesitant to even think of love... not after what she liked through in her past. Among the joy she felt build in her body, a sense of dread made its presence.
What if this ends just like it did in my past? A curse... it's happening all over again. And I'm letting myself fall for it again.
Her smile faltered, but her wings kept fluttering.
"I can't believe- really?" she spoke softly now, as if her excitement was toned down.

Angel nodded, noticing this occur with the thought she was simply processing the information she was told.
"Mhm. It's cute."

Stella looked aside for a moment before the spoke again.
"It- it is nice to think about it that way."

"Sure is." the spider nodded before his time softened, "but, you seem to be quite saddened by it too?"

"No no-" Stella shook her hand with her head.
"It's nothing. I am simply... processing."
She felt her throat tingle as if it was going to swell. A feeling that made her raise her hand to her neck, specifically where her choker gently resided. Her breath grew a bit shaky now as she paused once again, losing her focus on Angel and bringing it down towards her feet

Angel paused himself, feeling her spirits sink bit by bit with each passing second.
"Listen, El." He placed his hand on her shoulder as he gave her a sincere look, " You are an amazing person. I can see why he'd choose you, Ya know? You are so kind to us all. You help out in any way you can. You do so much for us, El. We appreciate ya being here, and I'm sure he does too." he nudged her shoulder gently with a loose fist in hopes to chest her up.
