"Have we met before?"

Stelle and Caelus look at Acheron and say




"Woah Deja Vu!?"

"Apologies for my absurd question, I saw that man and this woman beside you sneaking around. I followed them to make sure they didn't do anything shady"

Stelle thanks the lady

"Thanks for looking out for us, we know Lucia, AKA the woman beside us, but me and my bro got no clue who the guy was either than the fact that his name is Aventurine from the IPC"

"And that he's got a cool ass boob window"

Caelus chimes in

Acheron looks Caelus in the eye with a completely neutral expression

"You're a funny one aren't you ............ I'll take my leave, see you around, if fate allows it"

With that she sends one last glare into the room, her glare meets with Lucia's, tension starts to build between them before Acheron walks out the door and down the hall

There is silence-

"Stelle, I feel like I should step up my fashion game and get one myself, what shape should I go for?  I don't think a spade fits me"

"Huh?" Stelle looks at her (adoptive) brother with confusion

"The boob window sis, what don't you understand about my question?!"

Lucia rolls her eyes and walks past them and towards the door

"You 2 should stop squabbling, you'll miss out on all the sights inside the dreamscape" She points out

Caelus let's out a dramatic groan of agony "Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my room is like WAY too far away for me to walk too right now"

"Pf-fft haha" Stelle attempts to hold in her laugh, she utterly fails and sounds like a car alarm

"You're impossible, just take my room key and give me yours" Lucia let's out a long sigh of annoyance

Caelus looks at her, slightly confused

"Why?"

"Because that key is for the door across the hall, which is my room that I am now giving to you, Dumbass"

"OH hell yeah! Thanks for saving my legs Ms Lucia, here's my key, I didn't lie when I said it was on the other side of the hotel...." A bit of guilt is heard at the end of his sentence

"No need to thank me, I enjoy walking alone anyway, it's not a bother for me. Enjoy Golden Hour while you still can" Lucia walks out of the room

—————————————————————

"While we still can?" Caelus says to Stelle

"Idk, ignore it, she says cryptic stuff all the time"

"I have a gut feeling that we shouldn't"

"Caelus have you ever heard the phrase 'never trust your gut'?"

"I thought it was 'always trust your gut'?"

"It's not"

"But-"

"I'm right, you're wrong! Now shooooo to your own room" Stelle says in a demanding, cocky tone
