"'ey, let's all get somethin' to eat and try to relax."

"Good idea." Yuuki responds, "You two keep an eye out in-town. I need to go do some investigating of my own."
"Yuuki, aye think yer wound up right now, and need to relax the most."

"I have questions, Jack. I'm going to go find answers."
"Now Lass, just get something to eat first-"

"No."

With that, Yuuki storms off ahead of the two of you.

Ah well.

You guess this is a sign to resume your date the way Madeleine wants it. So that's what you think you're going to do.
"So, wanna get somethin' to eat?"
"Lead the way." Madeleine smiles.

--

"Where did you find this place?" Madeleine asks, her plate of spaghetti almost entirely gone.
"Actually, Cody found it. He's a fan of this type of cooking, apparently."

Speaking of which, you haven't seen him all day. Hopefully his misses isn't tearing him to pieces, right now.
That thought is quickly interrupted by Madeleine holding something out from her plate.

"Here, eat this." It's a string of spaghetti.

"Err-"

You reach out and grab the limp strand, and then put it to your mouth.
Searching across the table; Madeleine has already put the other end in her mouth.

She reels the strand in, but in an instant, it breaks in the middle.
"Aw." She huffs, "That didn't work at all like I thought it would."

>Where did ye get that trick?
>That's cute, Lass.
>Let's try again.
>Alright, food time is over, let's get to drink time.
>Other?

"That's cute, Lass." You smile at her, "Where did ye get that trick?"
"Got it from a book."

"Heh."

You get a devious thought in your mind.
"Want to try it again?"

"Hmm?"

You pick the end of a strand of pasta off her plate, and then playfully put it in your mouth.
"Your turn."

Her eyes dart across her plate, before grabbing the other end of the same strand.
She puts it up to her mouth and gently pulls it in with her tounge.

Gently, you reel in your catch. Her face draws closer, and closer with every pull.
Her eyes gently close, and-

It snapped again. This seemed like a way more romantic in your head than it has been in practice.

"Excuse me." An unfamiliar voice rings in your ears.
You both look up at the same time to notice the waitress. She has your used plate in one of her hands.

"Are you two done playing with your food?"

Both you and Madeleine look at one another, before turning back to her.
"No."

--

To the outside observer, you two must look pretty silly right now.
Two people alongside one another, laughing ever since they left the restaurant.

The events from earlier feel like a distant and fading memory.
It could be the silly display of foodplay, or could have been the drinks you ordered. Either ways, you feel as light as a feather.

"Hey Jack, you know, Atsuko said she was going to spend the night at the castle earlier. I'm sure she would take Keiko with her and not leave her at the Shrine. Wanna, go back to there together? Just you and I?"

>Yar.
>Well, Lass, ye might have a problem if Tuile finds out.
>Maybe we should find somewhere a little more private for that.
>Argh, I'd love te, but I'm tired.
>Other?

"Yar, but-" A sudden thought wells up in you, "Maybe we should find somewhere a little more private for that, though."

"Mm, What did you have in mind? Oh! How about your airship, Captain?"

"Aye." You smile awkwardly, "Still at the docks, Lass. In the shipyard."

"Phooey." Her tail touches your cheek, "But- I got a place that's not too far from the shrine."
"Oh?"
"It's out in the woods, a little ways from the shrine. I found it when I was berrypicking one time. Want to go?"

"Sounds fun but, aye dunno. Out in the woods?"
You don't know the woods too well.

"Oh, what's the matter? What? Worried you'll see a forest spirit?"

You blink.
"A what?"
Madeleine giggles, "Oh right, you wouldn't know, would you? C'mon, let's go. I'll tell you on the way."

--

"So, whars a 'forest spirit'?"
You ride down the beaten path toward the shrine with Madeleine curled around your waist. Oddly enough, it's a comfy way to travel.

"I'm amazed Atsuko didn't tell you, the shrine was built as a monument to one. Biscotti is famous for them."
"So you've seen one? Just, a ghost, wanderin' around the woods?"
"Pfft, I wish." She frowns. "No, they're very rare. I've looked, too."

"Why'd ye wish to see a ghost?"
"Oh, it's a dumb nursery rhyme thing." She sighs, "'If the heart is at its limit, seek a forest spirit'."
"Whar does that mean?"

"The rhyme goes that when a young girl visits the woods, alone or with her love. She's judged by the weight on her heart. If she's blessed by the forest spirits, then she's destined to find true love, or even marry her lover."
"Heh, also why you wanted to find one, aye?"
"Tsh, yeah." Madeleine pouts.

Then she whispers in your ear, "Would you believe that's why Atsuko was given shrine duty? Camille told me her parents were hoping that she would find one."

>Well, best of luck to her on that.
>Is there like, a timelimit> That could mean now until forever.
>Aye can still shoot it tho, right?
>Aye don't care as long as I can do that.
>Other?

"Well, best of luck to her on that." You smirk.

Atsuko finding love might calm her down. She's been high-strung as of late, and you imagine a good man would set her on the right path.
Of course, at one time Atsuko was hoping that you would be that good man. So, if anyone needs some luck in love, it would be her.

Unless, wait a minute-
"Is thar like, a timelimit er somethin? It could be now or anytime, really."

"Let me think."

Madeleine starts reciting the rhyme back to herself. Occasionally, she pauses as she tries to remember the lyrics.
"-like a thief at night, love finds you within five fortnights". She says out loud.

"How long is that?"
"Five-" She thinks on it, "A little more than two months."

"Heh. So it'd be someone we know."

"Maybe, a lot can happen within two months." Madeleine muses. "Oh! Here! Walk off the path and up the stream."

Gently, you command the bird to halt and wheel. Madeleine directs you upstream, and into the darkness of the woods.

--

She wasn't kidding, this place is beautiful.
You don't exactly know when it became night-time with the thick of the forest, but you can't picture this place any other way.

The moon shines brightly over the meadow. Fresh dew glistens off the pedals on the flowers, and the glow from the trees.

In the darkness, you can faintly see it. Bugs, that are pulsating with light. You remember reading about this, but you've never really seen it.

"Wow."
Your hand reaches out, and grabs one of the blinking insects. You watch as it gently floats from your hand, and off into the night sky.
Madeleine smiles, the moonlight is reflecting magnificently off her, as well. Her curls gently writhe in the dampened grass, and her hand is finding its way into your coat.

"Jack." Madeleine's attention seems to have turned, "Can we.. remember this night? Together? Just you and me."

>Very yes.
>Only if it's just between you and me.
>Goodnight Madeleine.
>Maybe some other time
>Other?

>>48267526
>Very yes.
I really don't think even he is dense enough for any other answer.

>>48267526
>Very yes.

>>48267526
>Touch scaly tail

>>48267526
>Very yes.
snek cloaca

>Very Scaley

"-Just you and me." Madeleine pauses, almost as if she's lost in thought. "-Y-yknow what, I didn't really mean it that way, it's just-mm."

Your mouth makes quick work of her excuses.

Slowly, you can feel her tail start to curl up behind you.

"Very yes." You whisper, her face turns completely red.
Within that moment, she darts upward to return the kiss.

"Just you and I." You grab her back, pulling her closer. She returns the favor, but uses the entire lower-half of her body to entwine you.

The moon is beautiful.
And so is she.

--

Erk.

Too strong!

"Eek! sorry, sorry."

--

"Ahh, hah. Hah."
"No, no, wait."

--

Did she just crack a rib?
..
No, you're fine.
That's gonna leave a bruise, but you're fine.

--

Tonight, you have learned a valuable lesson.

Scales.
They're just as kind, and loving, as fluff.

Thanks for the thread everyone.
MAYBE this was a little sudden. Whoops! I built up Tuile much more.

Oh well.
There is lots of opportunity in the future to correct that.

Anyway, thanks again for the thread, let me know what you thought of it.
