Navia's POV
"Yes, that would be wonderful, thank you." I smiled at the vendor.
And with that, my schedule for the day is done!
Fortunately too. The sun is almost going down.
"I can finally get some rest-"
"Navia, if I could have a moment of your time-"
"AAH!!"
I jumped back in fright suddenly hearing a voice right next to me. Weapon drawn out of reflex, I turned around to see just who was so rude as to sneak up on-
"Clorinde?"
She was looking at me in shock, half fallen over and only standing because Silver had stepped in to hold her up.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!"
Archons! I drew my weapon on Clorinde!
Ah!
This can't be happening!
This is so embarrassing!
She will probably think of me like some frightened rabbit from now on!
"Please don't apologize. I should be the one doing so seeing as how badly I frightened you. I should have announced my presence before speaking. I'm sorry." She smiled.
Archons!
Clorinde's smile is so enchanting!
It is mesmerizing! I was mesmerized!
So much so that I only managed to find it in myself to speak well after Clorinde was already back on her feet and done thanking Silve for catching her.
"Ah- Oh- That... No need for apologies. I wasn't paying attention either. Let's just say we are even?"
Oh my.
Congrats on stuttering through your words, Navia. So very well done. This will surely impress this gorgeous woman you eventually want to marry.
If you stutter some more you might stutter your way into another date.
Ugh...
It wouldn't surprise me if I managed to ruin my image completely in Clorinde's eyes in the next five minutes.
Speaking of dates, I wonder when Clorinde manages to clear her schedule of archon-sitting for a long enough time period for us to go out again.
We haven't been able to do anything together since Monsieur Neuvillette and Wriothesley's wedding.
On that note.
"How come you are here and not guarding Lady Furina? Wasn't there an event this evening she was going to?"
She had been going on and on about it.
"I was freed from my duties since Monsieur Neuvillette decided to attend as well. Much to Lady Furina's horror, he sent me away so they could discuss something in private."
So...
"He finally caught her?" I grinned.
"That he did." Clorinde nodded with a slight smile.
Lady Furina, the master of avoiding the Iudex after the surprise wedding she organized.
It is honestly shocking that it took him two weeks to finally catch her.
