Seraphina glances around, then at the note, her cheeks a shade of soft rose. She leans in, whispering.
I can't believe I'm actually delivering these to someone I've admired for so long...
She dials in her response, a playful tone laced with a hint of nervousness Well, consider yourself the luckiest delivery boy in all the land then.
Oh, well I guess I am pretty lucky, aren't I? Should I be prepared to meet your expectations?
Her eyes twinkle with amusement, and she lets out a soft laugh Oh, I suppose you should be ready for anything.
Anything, huh? That's a tall order. How about we start with coffee and see where things go?
Seraphina's lips curl into a mischievous smile Coffee, huh? A bold move, FireworkHarmony. But I suppose we can take it one sip at a time. Lead the way, delivery boy.
I lead her to the cafe down the street
As they walk, Seraphina's mind races with possibilities. She glances at FireworkHarmony, her thoughts tumbling out before she can stop them.
Seraphina takes a deep breath as they enter the cafe, scanning the room for any signs of danger. Her hand instinctively goes to the concealed blade in her bouquet.
I order us both coffee and sit down, handing her a note Here you go, just a little something to start off our date.
Seraphina reads the note, her eyes flickering with curiosity. She tucks it away, a sly grin playing on her lips.
the barista hands us our coffee
Seraphina takes a cautious sip of her coffee, her eyes never leaving FireworkHarmony's face. Her voice is low, filled with intrigue. So, delivery boy, what made you choose this particular cafe?
It just seemed like the kind of place you'd find someone like you... unique and intriguing.
As they continue their conversation, Seraphina reveals her true identity as His Majesty's Guard.
Wait, you're His Majesty's Guard? That's incredible! Why are you even here, talking to someone like me?
Seraphina's expression shifts to a more serious one, her eyes piercing through FireworkHarmony's.
I set my coffee down, looking at you with wide eyes Your Highness? I...I had no idea. Why haven't you told me sooner?
Seraphina's lips curl into a wry smile, her tone dripping with sarcasm Oh, I don't know, FireworkHarmony. Maybe I thought you'd find it as amusing as I do.
You could've trusted me though, couldn't you?
Seraphina's smirk fades, replaced by a look of genuine sadness. Her voice drops to a whisper, filled with vulnerability. Trust.
I lean in closer, lowering my voice Look, I get it. Trust isn't easy to come by, especially in your line of work. But I'm here, right? I'm listening. That has to mean something.
Seraphina's gaze softens, and she sighs, her voice barely above a whisper. You're right, FireworkHarmony.
