Since graduating from the Academy, life has been..interesting for Alisa, to say the least. She's been kept very busy, since she was upholding her promise to her mother on showing her the proper way to run the company, and it wasn't easy to put in those changes. Though it would have been a lot harder if she didn't have the support of those around her. But because of that, she hadn't been able to get time to get to visit Rean as much as she liked.

Translation: As much as she liked = every day. She did get to visit - or vice versa - at least on the weekend, and she talked to him almost every night thanks to the range on the ARCUS. Just as finished up for the night, she made her way up to the penthouse, glancing around to make sure she was alone (And you never know with Sharon) in order to take out her ARCUS once more and see if she could get a hold of Rean before bed. She was planning on seeing if he was in the area - alternatively, she was sure she could get away for a visit, if he wasn't busy.

"I thought I dreamed it..." Alisa murmured, breathlessly, tightening her arms around him.

OH wait, there it is, she just realized ...she pauses, looks up at Rean, then down at herself -and immediately yelps, letting go and crossing her arms in front of herself as if she could cover herself that way - when it really just amplifies certain...assets. Because yeah, nightgown isn't exactly all-concealing, since it was fairly short and thin. "A-AAH! DON'T LOOK!".

Ah there it is. The textbook Alis areaction. At least it didn't come with a slap again even if Rean wouldn't have blamed her. Instead he sharply turns around while the blush seems to have reached the tip of his ears showing quite clearly even with his back turned that the sudden early morning embrace had left Rean quite flustered as well.

"S-Sorry I-I should have pointed it out right away..." He stammered his apology.

She had almost slapped him too, in fact, but that just shows how flustered she was. "Hnnng, I.. i'm going to go take a shower and freshen up for breakfast. You stay THERE." She huffed her way over to the door, adding with a warning, "Don't you dare peek!" Before the door closed firmly.

As if on cue, Sharon emerged from the kitchen, towel in hands, glancing around curiously, "I see my lady is up~" she grinned at Rean's happen, her smile turning sly, "My my, did something happen? Did she give you a special good morning greeting?" HMMMMMMMM?

Rean turned back around with a suffering sigh, his hand placing lightly over his heart before he nearly jumped out of hi skin again when Sharon suddenly arrived on the scene.

"Ah-AH w-w-ell nothing untoward. Jusst a um hug before she went to freshen up." That was probably saying too much but oh well too late now.

"Nothing untoward? Hehe, Gwyn would be disappointed." Sharon grinned wickedly, "In fact I'm sure Master Gwyn would love to have a conversation with you in regards to your relationship with Lady Alisa~~" Is that the gleam of evil in the Enforcer's eyes?

"Exactly how much of a hug did you get, Master Rea~n?"

Oh dear. It was only now Rean was starting to realize Sharon actually HELD back when Alisa was present. But now it was just him and the demonic ultimate maid.

"Ah I uhm r-really don't think it's my place to say..." He stammered, the color on the ashen Chevalier's face now making it resemble a bright tomato.

He didn't have Alisa to protect him by scolding Sharon now! "Ooh? Was it that intimate a hug?" He really just stepped into the trap now, because Sharon (shadow)steps over to close the distance with Rean and nab him in a hug. Right against her also ample chest because apparently, the shade of crimson he was sporting just wasn't red enough. "Was it a hug like ~this~?"

To think he completely understimated what Sharon's full trolling potential was. A costly mistake that now had him almost squeaking his answers to her questions!

"K-Kind of lke that?!"

"My oh my~! I didn't think Lady Alisa had it in her to be so -bold-!" She's.. totally stalling for Alisa to come out too. Rean, quick, escape! This doesn't look good to someone outside of context!\

That is if he can since Sharon is having far too much fun embarrassing the poor boy, all but squishing him against her chest, giggling under her breath. Why is he so fun to tease!~?

Well this was a problem. He wasn't sure how to escape from Sharon's hold since pushing her was not even an option in his mind at this point.

"Umm...are you sure you should be wasting time with me? Isn't breakfast on the stove?" Would hate for hte food to get burned. That was his desperate excuse to try and escape.

"Heehee, you needn't concern yourself with breakfast Master Rean, it's already taken care of -" She stops short, "Oh, My lady! Please forgive me, I could not help but let dear Master Rean have his way. He is such an animal~! ♥"

She does let her arms slip away from Rean on that note, to see if Rean takes he bait and turns to confront an angry Alisa -- except she's not even out of the bathroom yet.

"W-Wha? ALisa this isn't-!" Rean yelped and tried to turn around only to see that there was no Alisa behind him. He blinnked before groaning in aolute embarrasment.

"I can't believe I actually fell for that...."

Sharon chuckled, "It's always a joy to have you around, Master Rean~ ♥" she leaned over to give him another hug from behind, not even teasing this time.

Which of course is right when Alisa steps out of the bathroom, properly outfitted and with her hair sparkling clean. "Did someone call me?" Alisa asked, pausing when she glanced at the pair.

"Yes, I did," Sharon answered with a sweet smile, "Master Rean and I have decided to elope~!" ♥

"I get the feeling you might hold a grudge on me or something." After all she was being even more teasing than usual and he just couldn't handle that. Of course any thought to protest like that gets rudely shunted aside as Alisa returns.

He immediately straightens up and tries to escape Sharon's hold again.

"We decided NO SUCH THING. I swear we didn't Alisa!"

Alisa's eyes widen at Sharon's declaration, "WHAT?"

Sharon giggles, even as Rean protests her words, and she does let him escape, if only to clap her hands to her cheeks coyly, "Ah, he's just shy, it's so cute~. I know you have feelings for him but I'm afraid he's just stolen my heart~!"

Alisa shoots a -glare- over at Rean, "Reeeeeeeean." How dare you charm other women! Other women who were purely trolling for breakfast!

Sharon stifles a giggle. Ah, youth - so young and passionate~!

Was Sharon TRYING to have Alisa turn him into a pincushion of Arrows?! Rean quickly backed away from Alisa when she shot him square in the head with that Alisa glare that could freeze his blood cold.

"I didn't do anything for the sort Alisa! I swear I would never do something like charm anyone else!" not intentionally. WHich was the biggest problem.

Maybe. It'd be funny! Though Sharon would probably step in before then.

It's the fact that he could charm people without meaning to that was the problem - and that can't be helped!

Alisa scowled at Rean - hands on her hips, finally turning her back on him. "Hmph!"

Sharon hid a grin again, "Now now, there's no need for that. It's a beautiful morning, breakfast is ready and it'll get cold if you don't go eat." she suggests, beaming like she didn't just kind of almost get Rean in trouble for her own amusement.

Funny for anyone else but Rean! He also throws Sharon the dirties look that screamed 'JUST WHOSE FAULT DO YOU THINK ALL OF THIS IS?!'

"Alisa. Please could you listen to me?" He pleaded much like a husband who had somehow wronged his wife without knowing.

Sharon doesn't look the LEAST bit sorry. If anything she looked even more amused by Rean's glare, clasping her hands in front of her and waiting patiently with a Cheshire cat's smile.

"Fine. I'm listening." She's not turning to look at him though, and her tone said she was still bristling a little.

Rean let out a suffering sigh before he walked up to Alisa and held her from behind while he whispered in her ear. "You know the only one who stole my heart is you. I would never even dream of eloping with anyone but you." Maybe that was going a little bit overboard but he simply went with the first thing he could think of.

Rean's life is suffering - but at least this is the kind of suffering that was better than the suffering he normally goes through right?

She startles when he holds her from behind, half turning her head to look at him. And at least she looks caught off guard by his response, especially when he mentions that he wouldn't elope with anyone but her. "R...Rean..."

"Oh no, I've been rejected~," Sharon dramatically put a hand to her heart, "The better woman won~" She beamed, "Very well, then I'll just continue to support your love, My Lady." By trolling mercilessly. That's how she shows love, after all.

Rean let out the most relieved of sighs when Alisa finally believed him and then some. Needless to say he didn't let go of Alisa right away and instead gave her form a quick squeeze while Sharon voiced her intent in the most honest extent possible yet.

Alisa smiled faintly, leaning a little against him. Sharon started to head into the kitchen to get the food, only to pause, glancing back at the two. "Hold that pose please," Sharon said suddenly.

Alisa glanced over to the maid, confused, "Wha?"

Sharon beamed, holding up the orbal camera, and Alisa understood- though rather than get embarrassed, she gave a smile so Sharon could take the picture.

Rean's head snapped up when Sharon made her unusual request. But seeing that Alisa didn't oppose the idea, he simply closed his eyes again while he nuzzled against the back of Alisa's shoulder for the picture while she showed that million mira smile

Meep ~! She had just thought he would smile for the camera, not nuzzle her shoulder! "R-Rean..!" She whispered, flustered. Though she certainly didn't pull away.

Sharon, having gotten her picture, laughed quickly and went to fetch the food and set the table for the couple. She'll be extra nice since she did get Rean in trouble earlier.
