[codere]

I think I already decided on that. [ She huffs a little at that. ]

[swordboning]

So I'm being barred from that too?

[codere]

It's tempting, but I'd grow tired of hearing you complain about how cruel I am if I went through with it.

[ Rin sighs, running a hand through her hair dismissively. ] I need your credits card anyway so it's not as if I could ditch you.

[swordboning]

[He just nods. It's good enough for him.]

At least try to smile and enjoy yourself.

[codere]

If you want me to do any of that, you should make sure of it yourself instead of telling me to try.

[ Waving that hand now dismissively towards him. ] What do you say to that?

[swordboning]

Not too much.

[It totally looks like he's going to leave it right there.

Except he doesn't GASP.

Instead, he picks up Rin. In the 'carrying Rin style' that he does frequently. And yeah, heading out the door!]

[codere]

[ Wow she's totally surprised.

NOT. ] H-Hey! Do you have to do this where everyone can see-?!

[ Normally she likes being the center of attention, but not like this. ]

[swordboning]

If I didn't, we couldn't travel like this.

[Which was hopping off their balcony and up to the roofs. The best way to get to the shopping district tbh.]

[codere]

[ This much is true though she won't comment on that. ] Good, then make sure you travel quick enough that no one can see us.

[ She always did enjoy the thrill that came with fast speeds. ]

[swordboning]

Your wish is my command.

[Words Rin probably enjoys hearing all day. But if she wants the wind beneath her wings, she's got it.]

[codere]

[ It's just an excuse to hold onto him a little more tightly than before. A good excuse since it cuts down on the travel time even more and gets them to their destination quicker, but still one born out of selfish desire. ]

Ahh, I love it when you say that.

[swordboning]

And if I said it in public in full view of everyone?

[And this was ironically the time they hit the ground and he eases Rin down. Well tries to. If she's still clinging, it's not happening.]

[codere]

I'd love it even more!

[ But they're on the ground so she's letting go. At least she's not wobbly. ]

[swordboning]

I'll find an opportunity to make that happen.

[codere]

It isn't as if you need an opportunity. You could post it on the internet.

[ Idiot. ] But don't do that.

[swordboning]

I don't know. It sounds like a good idea to me.

[SHRUGGING. And heading to the nearest clothing store.]

[codere]

If you do, I can just delete it.

[ What a rude little girlfriend. ] So you better not.

[swordboning]

And if I do it without you noticing? That's the important part.

[codere]

Impossible. [ Don't make her stalk him even more than she normally does. ]

[swordboning]

[Makes her stalk him even more.]

We'll have to see about that. In the meantime, which of these stores do you want to go in first?

[codere]

[ Pointing right towards the Cerealia variation of Victoria's Secret. ]

There.

[ Laces and frills should shut him right up. ]

[swordboning]

What, would you like me to go inside with you? You know everyone will stare.

[codere]

Spoken like a man who knows only fear.

[ She's going there. ]

[swordboning]

Not particularly. But if women in skimpy clothing were staring at me, I figured you may wish to be warned ahead of time.

[Sticking with her like a loyal servant.]

[codere]

Let them look.

[ She says that now, but when the time comes? Oh she'll be jealous. ]
