Acension city

[Aconitum]

Acon motioned to the closet. "Just... pick out whatever looks good." She went to her dresser and rifled through her jewelry box.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded, and began searching. He didn't really understand casual wear, so he picked a rather loud set of clothing.

[Aconitum]

Acon found the bracelet Ray had given her and slipped it on.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked at Acon, the clothes hanging from the spaces in his armor. "M'lady? Is this sufficient?"


The bracelet sat lifeless a moment, before a groan sounded through Acon's ears.

[Aconitum]

Acon cringed at Ray's choice of clothing. "Oh lord. Ray... just wear the black suite in there." She giggled as she brought the bracelet to her lips.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded, and switched the clothing. He turned, and looked at Acon. "Do you wish me to change now, m'lady?"

Ray's voice sounded in Acon's ears. 'Why were you gone for so long?'

[Aconitum]

Acon shrugged. "Whenever you want Ray. If you like, you can even change in here." She looked at the bracelet and whimpered. "I was... avoiding my sadness."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded, and removed his armor. The breastplate clanked against the ground, revealing a thin tunic underneath. He started pulling at the plates on his thighs and shins.

Ray's voice sounded again. 'Ah. I don't blame you. How're you holding up?'

[Aconitum]

Acon sat on her bed and watched Ray. "I'm alright. Ronnie's dead. For good, I think."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray dropped the plates from his legs, and then removed his gauntlets. He stood a moment, looking at the plates, before he removed his tunic.

Ray's voice sounded. 'Oh really? Damn...that sucks.'

[Aconitum]

Acon averted her eyes then and blushed. "Yeah, it does. Oh well, I guess."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray then undid his belt, and removed his pants. Though the late King Candy had undergarments, the majority of his knights were severely lacking in that department. Ray looked around, searching for something.

[Aconitum]

Acon sighed. "What would life have been like if I told Ronnie he could come to wonderland with me? How would things have changed? Or if I hadn't gone down into Ray's basement that night?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked back in the closet, digging for any sort of undergarment.

Ray's voice sounded again. 'Well, we never would have gotten together. I would continue to steal from your father, and probably be dead by now.' After a few moments, he spoke again. 'Wouldn't um...would Lulu offer you a way out? I mean...the repercussions could be immense...but I suppose it's an option.'

[Aconitum]

Acon eyed Ray's bare tail a moment before she giggled and rolled over to dig a pair of underwear from the drawr. "Lulu's mad at me."
