Acension city

[Rayleonarde]

Ray blinked. "U-Uh...um...o-okay..?"

[Aconitum]

Acon smiled. "Trust me. What father doesn't wanna see son settle down."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked down at the ground. "My dad."

[Aconitum]

Acon furrowed her brow. "Come on, Ray."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "I-I'll try to call you...but Giovanni....I'll try my best." He looked up and smiled at Acon.

[Aconitum]

Acon smiled and leaned down to kiss Ray's cheek. "Can I walk you home?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked down the street, and nodded. "Okay."

[Aconitum]

Acon took Ray's arm and pulled him to his feet. "Alright!"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray blinked, and started walking towards Giovanni's. "T-Thank you for...w-walking with me. It's scary at night."

[Aconitum]

Acon nodded. "It does." She said. "It's like you're a completely different person, but... not."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shrugged. "Giovanni says I'm...uh...umm...sub...submissive! A-And he says it makes his life easier." He looked at the ground again, continuing to walk. "I-I guess that's one thing he's proud of me for."

[Aconitum]

Acon smiled. "You were always kinda submissive. Well, before Ben was hired. I don't know about now."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray raised an eyebrow. "H-How did you know? How did you know Giovanni's gardener's name was Ben?"

[Aconitum]

Acon raised a brow as well. "Oh! No no! A while back, I hired a laborer by the name of Ben." She smiled. "That's when you grew a pair. " she teased.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray blinked, and shook his head. "W-Why does everyone say stuff about that?" He sighed, and kept walking, breaking away from Acon.
