...For all its faults and curses and miseries, the City really is a beautiful place, isn't it?

It's a lovely night for riding, I think.

[OOC: She's heading for the Fountain, specifically; yay, growing nostalgia. Action is fair game if you feel like encountering her!]

I wouldn't mind it, if you wanted to come.

You're okay, right? Where do you want to meet?

I'm just fine, don't worry. Shall I meet you near one of the buildings?

Building five?

Of course, that won't take long at all.

Meet me in ten minutes!

[ooc: Action, yes?]

Ten minutes it is!

[OOC: Sure!]

[Blue is waiting in his Homeland's outfit; sword at his hip. He just wants to make sure everything will be safe; he's sitting on the curb]

[As promised, it doesn't take Rosella long to make her way over to Building Five. She waves as she comes riding up, slowing to a stop as she nears Blue]

Good evening!

[Flourishy bow]

Hello, my lady!

[Like a proper lady, she'll play along and offer her hand]

And how fare you this evening, my good sir?

Oh, well, here I was a little wayward, hoping I could find a damsel to protect.

[He takes her hand and gives it a kiss, then levers himself behind her on the saddle]

And here, I've found one.

That's really very prudent of you, to find them before they end up in distress. Most heroes tend to wait until after.

[Glancing over her shoulder at him]

Ready?

Those are the lazy heroes.

[He nods]

Anytime.

[With a word and a nudge, she guides the horse into a trot]

Well, then, it's lucky that I'd rather have you for a hero any day, anyway.

Well I'm a pretty terrifically poor hero, Rosella.

Perhaps, but you're one of the few people that's ever succeeded at keeping me out of trouble, too. And that must count for something!

Well. Hopefully.

[He holds on around her waist]

It's really nice here, isn't it? When it's not being perfectly awful, I mean. It's just...lovely, all of it.

[Her voice takes on a wistful tone]

It is.

It can be.

I'll have been here a year, this Sunday. It's funny, it really doesn't seem like it's been that long at all.

[His arms tighten, just a little]

Time seems to go a little faster, doesn't it?

As they say, time flies when you're having fun. And I have--I am. I've had so much fun.

[She tips her head back a bit, to look up at the sky]

I think that's why I'm going to the fountain at all.

Is there something you need to see?

I don't think I've ever really looked at it at night. That's where I ended up when I first arrived, you know. In the fountain? Most people come through that way, it seems.
