"E-ehem! Rejoice, for you are in the sacred presence of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung!" She looks smugly down at us, her arms crossed, hair flowing in the wind. "S-so! Her sacred Highness Fischl bestows you with the gift of lunching with me!" I stare at her, confused, and Noelle looks a bit confused too.

"O-oh, you want to have lunch with us?" Noelle asks after a second.

"Certainly."

"Then come sit down!" She pats the spot beside her, but she sits by me instead. Noelle seems to falter a bit, looking at me with an expression of confusion, and I shrug back at her as Fischl begins unpacking her lunch.

"What have my dear retainers chosen for their lunch today?"

"Oh, I've packed some rice and salad. What did you pack for lunch... what was your name? Fischl?"

"Fischl, but you must refer to me as the Prinzessin. I have packed a delicious steak roasted with basil and turmeric that my retainers have prepared for me." In her lunchbox lays what looks like leftover steak with a few slices of bread."

"O-oh, that looks delicious, Fischl!" Noelle replies.

"Did I not tell you to address me as the Prinzessin?" She scoffs. "Only my dear retainer Y/n here can address me by my birth name."

"Th-thanks..?" I mutter, embarrassed.

"My bad, uh... Prinzessin..." Noelle replies, lowering her voice on the last part.

"Hmph. You are forgiven." She says, and begins chewing on her steak. I start to feel that tightening of my chest that I get anytime an uncomfortable or awkward silence stretches on for too long, and I feel too nervous to say anything.
Noelle breaks the silence finally by saying,

"S-so, Y/n, how have your classes been?"

"O-oh, uh, great!" I reply, smiling awkwardly.

"Advanced art is really nice. How have yours been?"

"Oh, great! I'm planning on joining the army when I get older, so the more physical classes like PE are great."

"That's great." I hesitate a moment, then turn around to Fischl and nudge her foot with mine. "How about you, Fischl?"

She turns to me, seeming surprised that I spoke to her - even I'm surprised at my own boldness. "The Prinzessin has been enjoying her classes a lot - they are guiding me to the path I envision myself in the future." I laugh a bit, and Noelle does too.

"That's great," Noelle replies. "And where do you incision yourself in the future?"
She's about to reply, but then the bell rings.

"Oh, looks like our time is up. Y/n, do you want to walk with me to PE?" Noelle asks me.

"Yeah, sure," I reply, packing up my lunchbox.

"I shall accompany you." Fischl replies.

"Oh, sure," Noelle replies. We head to PE, and Fischl parts with us.
