[Well, it's been almost an entire week since Lyon's awkward date with the Prince.  She spent the first several days afterward moping around her room in her pajamas, the second few days after that moping around the house in her pajamas, and the next few days after that moping around town, though this time fully dressed.  She's mostly feeling better

[Ruri waves in a sun dress with neko ears, running an errand for work]

"Hello..."

[float_like_a]

Oh, Ruri! Hello!

[hontobakabaka]

[She peers into the window]

"The one in the corner is cute. I hope someone buys him soon."

[float_like_a]

Oh! That's the one I was looking at! I feel sorry for him. He probably doesn't get as much attention as the others.

[Opens the door. Its safe today, considering Black Mage has been droned for a while. And Frey is hopeful that he may not return. So have a cheerful smile.]

Hi, Lyon!

[float_like_a]

H-hello!

[A little awkward, but she smiles back at him. Gosh, this is so awkward.]

[mercyasdeep]

So what's going on? Did you just want to hang out?

[Oblivious smile...]

[float_like_a]

Actually, I wanted to talk to you about last week.

[sablebombay]

[Just... watching not!sis practice.]

Wow, you're really good at that.

[float_like_a]

[Lyon pauses for a short break, smiling back at Omi.]

I still have a long way to go before I'm a full-fledged Queen's Knight, though. That's why I have to practice so much.

[sablebombay]

Well it looks like you're well on your way. You've got really good form.

[float_like_a]

Thanks! It's good to know my training is paying off.

[Here's Miakis watching Lyon practice! She... actually looks very much like a proud mother as she observes. So proud of her not!daughter~~]

You've improved!

[float_like_a]

[Lyon smiles proudly.]

I've been practicing ever since I got a new weapon forged here in town. If anything dangerous ever happens again like before, I need to be ready to protect the Prince at a moment's notice.

[sting_like_a]

Very good~ A Queen's Knight must always be on her guard, after all! Even when the town's left us alone, someone or something dangerous might come along... But you and I can keep the Prince safe, yup!

[float_like_a]

The Prince... I wonder how he's been doing.

[Eventually, Lilly is passing by the pet store. She doesn't recognize Lyon, but seeing all the puppies is enough to make her stop and look.]

They're kind of loud, aren't they?

[Also, Lilly is clad in her full traveling outfit, from sword to hat. She is amazing, okay?]

[float_like_a]

They're just excited.

[Lyon smiles, pressing her finger up against the glass. The puppies, of course not knowing any better, jump up excitedly and try to lick and nip at it. Lyon just giggles again.]

[how_right_i_am]

I can see that. They certainly remind me of someone I know.

[Lilly looks at the puppies, a little curious.]

I wonder if the one in the back is sick...

[float_like_a]

I think that one's just shy. He probably gets pushed around a lot for being so small.
