"Did you see that? That awful lady who was harassing me earlier looked like she was about to faint." I laughed- "that was so worth it."
"I'm glad you had fun," Levi muttered, eyes focused on the horizon as we raced through city streets.
"Where to next?"
"I suppose I have to drop you off," he shrugged, the feeling of his arms around me now more present as the adrenaline wore off.
oh well
can't say that i hate it
this is nice
"Really?"
"Shitty etiquette and all."
"As if we've been following any of that this whole time," I chuckled, "if you're sick of me you can just say it."
i understand </3
"I'm not."
"Then-" I glanced back at him, "what's the worry?"
"You said it yourself- the closer we are the worse the rumors get- maybe it would be good for us to maintain some measure of etiquette while we stay in the capital."
well........
"If you were really worried about that you should've said something before we got on a horse together."
they aren't stupid- noble ladies know that i can ride a horse
most of them can as well
what the two of us are is clear as day
"I tried to."
NOT HARD ENOUGH
"I think I'm tired of caring about what other people think- I've spent too long doing that."
and besides
i knew what i was getting into
that's why i asked if he was sure about this
"-as long as you're serious about this I'm ok with breaking every rule of etiquette."
"Then-"
"Straight to your place, we need to debrief with Isabel and Farlan."
we've got a lot to do
The next few days passed in a blur- starting with the publication of a semi-scandalous article in the paper detailing our escape from the palace-
it was only half lies and speculation which isn't bad honestly
-and culminating with a metric shitton of letters addressed to both Levi and I inquiring after the nature of our relationship.
we live in a world where people only pretend to be sympathetic about the death of my father to get more information about my relationship
"I'm sick of this," I grumbled, watching as Farlan entered the study Levi and I were cooped up in with another stack of paper. "Can't you just turn them away? I feel like we've done enough of this-"
i have rejected enough invitations to last a lifetime
"No," Levi replied dully.
"I mean- we already know which ones we'll be accepting right? Anything from Marquess Forster to try and figure out more about him- the rest can just be scrapped."
it's all just poorly disguised hate mail anyway
"-and his fiance."
"Exactly- so just turn everyone away if they aren't a courier for either of those two houses."
i give up on neutrality meaning tht im equally nice to everyone
i want it to mean that i'm equally awful to everyone
#Women'sWrongs </3
"We're not doing that," Levi shut down again.
BORING
"You can at least agree to a break can't you?"
i need one desperately
"And what would we do?" He muttered, barely looking up from the page.
erhm...
"Farlan help me out- he sucks-"
"No can do," the aforementioned aide shrugged.
WOW TRAITOR
"We're supposed to be best friends."
"I don't have a best friend," Farlan rolled his eyes.
WOW WHAT IS LEVI THEN
actually fair
i wouldn't want to be levi's best friend
"We took a test and everything... I can't believe you would throw away our WEEKS of best friendship just like that."
"I'm sure your actual best friend would be upset to hear that," Farlan shrugged.
WHEN TF DID YOU GET MEAN.... OK
"You both suck."
no use chasing down isabel i feel like she'll just agree with them
"I didn't say no," Levi mumbled.
WHOA
"Then?"
"What would we do?" He restated.
oh yeah i was trying to figure that out
"Something fun."
"Like?"
yeah you're supposed to tell me that
"A date?"
"Oh."
"Or not."
"No I-"
"Somewhere kind of private-" my mind raced, "oh! There's this really nice place close to one of the theaters- maybe we could get food and watch a show together."
or not-
"That sound-"
"I think Historia's family has a private booth reserved for them, if we go there no one will notice."
we'll just have to wear cloaks or something
sneaking around is fun
<3
"Y/N."
"Yes?"
"That sounds fine."
"Ok well, be a little more enthusiastic."
ill send someone to ask historia right away
"Tomorrow though."
god...
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Farlan- let's leave the rest to Levi- the two of us have to start planning!"
"Alright," Farlan shrugged.
i love how loose you are with your loyalty
"What the fuck?"
"I'm stealing your aide!"
"No-"
"Bye!"
