"You can go faster than that." She encouraged with a grin.

She picked up the next one.

He started running faster with her.

“I like that one.” She told her

(( I am so sad. I have been dreaming of chicken donner kebab all day, it has arrived and all it tastes of is fairy liquid. The chios with it taste of literal air. The mozzarella sticks taste of dry bread crumbs. The Coca-Cola tastes of water with a hunt of coke. ))

"First one through the forest wins?"

---

"Yeah? Green... Blue flowers. A bit bright but." She nodded in agreement.

She nodded. “It will go nicely worth the sun.” Scarlet told her.

“You’re on.”

((Aww no that’s the worst ))

(( I am very sad ))

---

"Mm, I'll go with this one then." She grinned, pulling off the too she was wearing and beginning to change. "Are you going to come into town with me?"

---

"Three... two... o- oh, see you." Eve laughed, sprinting ahead - going off the path and into the trees.

He sprinted after her the dog following.

“Yeah I don’t see why not, little gremlin isn’t due back until the weekend.” She told her talking about her brother as she got to her feet.

"And that guy you've been hanging around with; what about him?"

---

(( So... classic vampire or wolf attack for Eli and Eve? ))

"Slow poke!"

“Conon? What about him?”
______

He soon caught up with her.

((Yeah why not?))

"You've never told me about him before." Florence shrugged, moving her hand to tug at the arm of the bardot style dress she had on to make it sit more comfortably.

“There’s not much to tell, he’s the Prince of the light angels and my best friend.” She shrugged, it was obvious that she was in love with him.

"I thought I was your best friend." She snorted softly then, raising an eyebrow.

“You’re my girl best friend.” She told her playfully. “To be honest I wish he was more but he’s never asked me out.”

"Ask out? What are you, fifteen?" She laughed. "It doesn't have to be that complex."

“We’ll how else do you know?” She asked. “You had zero ask you out.”

"Zero and I are still getting to know each other - what we had was I don't know what to call it." She snorted softly. "We weren't strong though, before... we aren't now either. We're at the beginning."

She nodded. “I don’t know what Conon and I are, I mean we are best friends and we have each other’s back but I can’t tell when a light angel likes you that way.”

"People are people. You overthink."

She shrugged. “Anyway where are we actually going for lunch today?” She asked.

"Anne's - they've released the new menu today. It seems nice."

"Anne's - they've released the new menu today. It seems nice."

"Oo, I love Anne's." She smiled.

"Mm. I went there last night, by myself; they had that puppy evening. Something to do with mental health awareness. It was great, I nearly brought one home."

"Damn thing." Conan muttered to himself, smashing his finger against the screen of his mobile phone to make it light up before lifting it up and holding it far too close to his face, causing his eyes to squint against the light. A latte that had it's lid put on clumsily resting next to him on the bench he sat, half of it's content dripping down the cup.

“Oh, isn’t that like a naughty word where you’re from?” Dagmar teased lightly - her accent still recognisably Scandinavian despite her efforts to quell it to be more tonally neutral over the years. Speaking as she approached almost silently - stealthy enough to not crunch on the gravel despite the heavy boots she was wearing.
