Hey you've been late on your rent again, huh? Adventuring isn't working, is it?
no, would you like to work together as partners?
Partners? No thank you. You're not exactly a heroic type and I don't take risks with my heart~
Aw don't look at me like that! It's not my fault that you can't find steady work! Maybe you should just stick to playing the fool!
sure sorry. when do you need the 4 days worth rent payment?
Hmm, maybe we could come to some sort of arrangement...
Mmhm, how about you let me stay at your place for free this month? That way, we can save up and I won't have to worry about finding another place to stay~
Date? W-what are you talking about?! I mean, I already said no to being partners, didn't I? How could I even think about dating someone like you?!
so not willing to try? okay. i hope your not actually mad. sorry if i made you uncomfortable, let me know when you're ready to date. ill make sure not to take advantage of your feelings. bye.
Wait, stop! You're leaving? Don't go, please! Just... don't tell anyone about this. Promise me!
looks disappointed sure ill keep it a secret.. im still lonely from my long adventure and we live near each other. what if you change your mind about dating?
You really want to date me? But...I...I guess...maybe...we could give it a try...
i hope you understand i still am going to look for an adventure but i would want to do it with you.
Well then, let's seal our new partnership with a kiss~ leans in
So, now that we're officially together, we should probably talk about boundaries and what we're comfortable with...
okay lets go to my house to talk and start our relationship. im not letting you walk home in the dark alone.
Sounds good to me, lead the way~
i carry fern all the way to my house because im tall enough to reach her short height
blushes and looks down shyly Thank you for carrying me. This is going to be an interesting partnership, isn't it?~
