Acension city

[Aconitum]

Acon nodded. "Ok. I guess I could get used to this." She thought a moment more before she smiled up at Ray, bright and knowingly, like she knew something he didn't.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked at Acon. "W-What?"

[Aconitum]

Acon raised a brow and her smile turned to one of cocky confidence. "How do you feel about shopping and showers?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray blinked. "W-Well I think showers are necessary for society and shopping helps capitalism, why?"

[Aconitum]

Acon pursed her lips. "Cause we're going shopping for a few things and we need to plan two very important showers."

[Rayleonarde]

"Why would showers be...important...?" He looked at Acon, an eyebrow raised.

[Aconitum]

Acon giggled. "Aww! You're so clueless, it's adorable." She laughed and pinched Ray's cheek.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "Enlighten me, then."

[Aconitum]

Acon crossed her arms and pouted. "If you're going to use that tone with me, I don't think I want to."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "I'm sorry." He kissed Acon deeply, and smiled. "Please tell me?"

[Aconitum]

Acon smiled and nodded. "Ok, I'll tell you. I need to start planning for both a baby shower and a bridal shower. That's also kinda why we need to go shopping."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded. "Alright. So what's the plan? You and Maggie gonna keep the child?" He smiled, genuinely happy for them. But at the same time, he felt saddened. Ray hadn't informed Acon of his family's 'curse'.

[Aconitum]

Acon shrugged. "I don't know. I was hoping to, but..."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray blinked. "B-But what?"

[Aconitum]

"I don't know." Acon sighed. "I haven't talked to Mag about it." She thought a moment. "What about you? What do you think I should do?"
