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.

Oh goddess that look. Like an angel descended from Aidios's side itself. Which was fitting given the appearance some of her techniques gave to Alisa. Still he couldn't help but feel blessed to know that Alisa loved him that much to put up with those dark thoughts of his.

A pity the spell had to be broken by reality shortly after that. Rean turned his eyes back up again when he heard Sharon and with great reluctance he turned his head to the side and pressed his lips to Alisa's palm before lowering it into a hold.

"She has a point. We better go eat so we cna start the day properly."

Alisa sighed softly, smiling at him as she nodded. Rean please, turn off the charm before she faints~! Also, Goddess she loves you Sharon but you really need to stop interrupting their moments. "Yeah, you're right. She spent a lot of time working on it, I'd hate for it to go to waste." she admitted.

That said, she curled her fingers through his and padded over to the table, where another feast was laid out - not QUITE as much as their dinner was, but it still had a hearty selection of various types of juices, eggs, pancakes, rice, sausage, toast, and a few assorted jars of jelly and butter.

Alisa eyed the spread as she claimed her seat close to Rean, "Sharon, you know you're only cooking for two, right?" Good god.

Rean couldn't help himself around Alisa. He was simply doing what he wanted after all. What he felt was right for himself and for Alisa.

That being said even he was a little floored by the amount of food arranged at the table. So much so that he had to narrow his eyes a little as he looked over to Sharon.

"We're not expecting anyone else for breakfast are we?"

Considering Rean doesn't get to do what he really wants at this stage, she didn't mind him indulging in what he wanted when he was with her. Alisa glanced over at the maid suspiciously at Rean's question. Sharon chuckled, "Not, not at all. I simply thought to give you a hearty breakfast - you're both still growing, after all."

"Yeah, and if we ate everything you had here, we'd be growing -outwards-." Alisa grinned.

Sharon looked thoughtful, "Maybe I did make a little too much. Why not take the leftovers with you when you visit Reinford's Research Division?"

Well Alisa wasn't against that idea, at least. It was better than wasting the food, and she knew that a lot of the researchers and engineers tended to get so wrapped up in their work they forget to eat.

"I suppose that makes sense. I'll help carry the leftovers too since we're heading out together." Rean stop making it so easy for Sharon. Though maybe him being happy like this for hte first time in months was likely making him revert to that time when he said embarassing things with a straight face.

Sharon's smile only got wider at that statement. It was so nice to see him smile like that, she couldn't help bur bring up her orbal camera and snap another picture. "I appreciate that, Master Rean~. And I'm sure my lady will be more than happy to have you help carry the leftovers with her."

Ah, if only she could catch them sleeping in the same bed or something. That would be prime photo opportunity - Alisa's mother might not approve, but Gwyn would get such a kick out of it.

Something told him Sharon would be snapping up shots through his entire stay. Still Rean wasn't going to try and stop her since that was a lost cause by default. So instead he settled at the table with Alisa taking the seat next to his. But eating would take both hands unfortunately so his hand reluctantly released Alisa's.

Sleeping in the same bed...surely that couldn't happen quite so soon. Though in all likelyhood now that the two had reaffirmed their feelings for one another, Alisa would not really care what her mother thought about her relationship with Rean. So maybe Sharon would get her wish.

Maybe, but Alisa's own shyness would be an obstacle on its own. When Rean let go of her hand, Alisa glanced over at him with a faint smile - she'd forgotten she'd need to use her hands as well, honestly. How easy it was to forget such things when she was with him~!

"Well, let's tuck in. Eat all you want, Rean." Though with the quantity there, there was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for two people to eat, even if they wanted to have seconds. Alisa loaded her plate with a cheese omelette, some toast and a few sausages, whiel Sharon moved over to the table to pour drinks for them, looking to Rean, "Coffee, Master Rean?"

which would win though? Shyness or the fact that he would leave her side again soon. Regardless Rean himself was not going to push for it if Alisa didn't want to So the two were free to enjoy their meal in so much peace that Rean quickly started eating at full. Needless to say Sharon's cooking was aboslutely divine compared ot what he had in the imperial army.

"Yes please, Thank you Sharon." He answered with a curt nod before popping the tomato slice into his mouth followed the the omlette.

That was an excellent question. She might kick herself for missing her opportunity - even if they didn't do anything more intimate than hold each other.

Sharon beamed, carefully filling Rean's cup and setting the coffee pot down again. It'll be a miracle if she doesn't follow them around to get candid camera shots of the happy couple, honestly.

Alisa side-glanced at Rean's plate for a second, then glanced at the spread before them, - something clearly on her mind. Finally she nods a little to herself, "H.. Here Rean, ...try this." She's picked up a bit of the pancake and... yes, she's offering it to Rean to eat. To -feed- him. Though since Sharon's watching, she's blushing and trying not to look into his eyes too much.

Well they still had one or two more days to get the chance to go further. Regardless Rean was going to enjoy every moment of his time left with Alisa since goddess knew when he would get his next chance.

Rean blinked curiously as Alisa fidgeted and gave him the option to take the food from her fork. But then he quickly realized what this was about and with a hiint of a blush tinging his cheeks, Rean leaned over to take the pancake piece into his mouth slowly.

She would have been so mad if he had just taken the pancake off her fork, without realizing she wanted to feed him. "Good, isn't it...?" She may be practicing for lunch - feeding him could get to be extremely enjoyable. Maybe he'd like her to feed him his lunch -- no that would be too much wouldn't it?

"Hm? Mmm yeah it is really good. Tastiest pancake I've had in a long time." Better than anything he's made for himself recently that's for sure. Though he would be quite flustered but also flattered if he knew Alisa was thinking of doing this again for lunch. He certainly would not stop her.

If she could get Sharon to slip out of the penthouse for an hour she might! "It's because you don't have Sharon to cook for you.. you've probably not even been having any home cookine." She paused, brushed her thumb against her mouth and reached up to wipe away a bit of crumb from the corner of his lips. Or maybe there wasn't anything even there! He'll never knowwwww.

He definitely won't since he's far too focused on the act itself to figure out if it was necessary or not. Alisa was hving such an easy time making him utterly transfixed with every sudden action she took.

"Ah --" that look on his face - oh goodness. She pulled her hand back, clearing her throat a little bit. "Sorry, it was just... you had a little..." she motioned at the side of her mouth. He had schmutz!.. at least so she claims. His face could have been completely schmutz-free.

"Oh! uhm thanks in that case." Rean said with a brightening blush, turning his eyes towards a bitout of bahfulness for the moment they had inadvertently jut shared when Alisa cleaned up his lips. Supposedly anyway. Still with that out of hte way he was free to start eating again .

Well that didn't go badly! So maybe... maybe she would try something new later. Though that might put poor Rean in shock and he'd forget to eat at all~! The smile on her face is definitely not his imagination though, "S-sorry, I guess I should have let you do that yourself." Instead of just taking it upon herself.

Oh no no no it was nothing like that. I didn't mind at all!" Rean was quick to reassure Alisa of that fact. In fact he might have been just a little too quick to cover up. Oh well surely Alisa would not do anything nefarious with that information.

Alisa is in fact, surprised by the quick reassurance, glancing over at him curiously as she reached over for some melon balls. "You didn't mind...?" Hrrm. Noooo, she won't do anything nefarios with the information. Sharon might, but Sharon had already puttered off to get some tupperware so they could pack up the leftovers.

"Of course not. After all you were the one who did that for me so..." Okay he might have slipped out too much because his mouth clamps up from continuing while the blush threatens to overtake all the way up to his ears.

Did he just say what she thinks he said? She quickly refocused her attention on her food, a flush rising in her cheeks as well. But this definitely confirms that she might in fact, get Sharon to give them some privacy during lunch to do just that! Aah, but then they will have free time afterwards, and then their date and oh goddess she had nervous butterflies all over again. "O-oh, ... I see..." Cough. Aheh, my what a deep color of yellow the cheese in th is omelette is!

He did indeed and now Rean was feeling as nervous as he once was as a young student back in the good old days. My the tomatos in this salad were so perfectly ripe. A perfect match to the red dusting his own cheeks as he quickly busied himself with eating agian while sneaking as many glances over to Alisa as he could get away with.

SHE IS EXTREMELY AWARE OF HIS PRESENCE NEXT TO HER and she doesn't know why she feels so nervous and awkward. "Phoo.... I don't think I can eat another bite." she sighs after a moment, when the awkward, nervousness got to be too much for her to bear. She leans back in her chair a little, eyeing the spread, then quickly picked up her glass of cranberry juice to finish.

He is just as aware. In fact he might even be able to hear the strong booming pouding in her chest given his borderline in human senses like that one time he was able ot make out the pessengers aboard the Eisen graf before the attack in Crossbell from the liberation front.

As it were though Rean was also done eating so he was free to move on to his cup of coffee.

"Sharon really outdid herself yet again."
