[ there’s something to be said about how alisae’s forceful, impatient voice immediately makes ihxi’wo feel like he’s in trouble for something the second he arrives back to the crystarium.

thankfully, the feeling passes and he’s left smiling in a bemused manner as she leads him away, arm-in-arm. ]

Nice to see you too. [ he laughs. ] But of course- where to, Miss Leveilleur? [ his agreement almost immediately fades into concern, however, when he remembers just what his expertise often consisted of. ]

Oh, gods- nobody’s hurt, are they?

[veryeet]

I'm hurt that you'd think I'd be waiting here to sabotage you for work.

[ She huffs out airily, her nose in the air for a moment in mock offense. ]

Besides, my brother's still here. And Urianger, when he remembers to wander back out of that blasted desert. You have more expertise that just being a healer - which I know the others sometimes forget, probably, but I'm not among them.

[afflatuses]

Ah, right, right. Unfortunately, that is not the sort of hurt I can heal very well- but I'm very sorry anyway. [ he can't help but smile- both at her mock offense, and in relief at the reassurance that nobody had fallen over with a mysterious injury while he was away.

because look. it could happen.

still- being ambushed for something that was not work was pretty nice. it's also pretty nice to be reminded that he does have other things he's relatively good at-, as embarrassed as he looks while she reminds him of that. ]

Well- thank you, for remembering. [ he gives a small laugh. ] I'll do my best to help, then.

[veryeet]

I have no doubt.

[ Relaxing her air of insult, she grins instead - and if he's paying attention, he might note the hint of mischief in her gaze as she tugs him out into the Crystarium proper and down the stairs away from the Occular. ]

How are things back home? Not on fire, I hope?

[afflatuses]

[ he might notice the tiniest hint of mischief- BUT he doesn't have much time to let it sink in before she's tugging him away from where he'd assumed they were headed, and asking about home. a very good choice in distracted, hoenstly; well done, alisae! ]

Nothing on fire, no- thankfully. [ it's always hard to decide exactly what to tell them about home. he wants them to be informed, of course, but he also doesn't want them to worry too much... so, he settles on something safer. ]

Except I'm not sure how long it'll stay like that. You know, Tataru and Krile are forces of nature on their own, but together? [ he gives an exaggerated shudder. ]

Remind me never to get on their bad side.

[veryeet]

[ That gets a snicker of amusement from her as she shakes her head. ]

You? Afraid of two little lalafells? What is the world coming to?

....Is that why you're hiding over here today? [ That mischief is much more evident this time as she teases him. ]

[afflatuses]

Hiding? Me? I would never... admit to that. [ he smiles serenely. ] Thankfully, they haven’t turned their devious gazes to me just yet.

[ he’a safe... for now... ]

So I’m not really hiding. [ although he seems a little embarrassed by the earnestness of his actual reaaons, particularly in the face of her mischief. ]

I just... prefer to be here right now, I suppose. That’s where all of you are.

[veryeet]

[ Her shrewd gaze narrows on his face seriously for a moment before she gives a small sigh.

And then reaches up to lightly flick him on the nose. ]

You worry too much. It's going to give you wrinkles.

[afflatuses]

[ he jumps a little in surprise at the flick, rubbing his nose indignantly (and dramatically. really, ihxi'wo, it was a light flick.) ]

Hey-! [ he whines, before sticking his tongue out at her. ]

I do not worry too much. I worry just the right amount for someone in my particular situation, thank you very much. Besides, who said I was worried? Can I not simply miss spending time with you all?

[ although now he doesn't seem to remember WHY he would!! ]

[veryeet]

You could.

[ She replies this airily as she tugs him along, laughter lurking in her gaze. ]

And if I didn't know you so well, I might even be fooled by that. But you, sir, are a worrywort. Especially when your hands are tied in solving a particular problem. You're more like to wear a hole in the floor with your fretting.

[ ...She should know. She's exactly the same way. ]

[afflatuses]

[ despite the put-upon look on his face, he continues to allow her to lead him along. really, it is true that he wants to be with his closest friends... but it's also even more true that he's worried. she has his number, but he can't be too upset about it, knowing how she is herself. ]

Well, if I didn't wear a hole in the floor someone else would. So really, I'm providing a service. [ really...! but, on that note, ]

But, yes, alright- I'm worried. But! I still think I'm allowed to be, and you won't convince me otherwise. I don't see any wrinkles on your face, after all, so I'm sure I'll be safe.

[veryeet]

You wouldn't see them on my face even if they were there. [ She admonishes him with a faint sniff, but there's laughter in her eyes as she chides him. ] Also, it's very rude to mention a lady's wrinkles to her face.

[ .... As if she were actually a lady in the first place, let alone one who cared about that.

But she does cast him a mischievous wink as she winds them down one of the staircases to their destination. A food stall, in fact, on that had only opened up recently and one she's sure he's not had a chance to try yet. There are little tables set up in front of it, brightly colored umbrellas offering shade, and the tantalizing scent of fresh-baked pastries and sweets filling the air. ]

Make sure you don't ever mention such a thing to Y'shtola...
