Romance RP

(Welcome back and I'm here now as well. ^^)

Lycoris' eyes teared up again as she heard Alex's loving words and kept holding on to him, thanking heavens that he was there by her side, for he was the only thing, the only person, who gave her the strength to go on despite all the troubles and problems.

(Coolies. ^^)

Alex held on to Lycoris as well and observed her tears. He gently wiped them with a handkerchief he had and gently stroked her back, using such gestures to comfort Lycoris as best he could.

Lycoris did her best to calm down and soon came to be quiet, gently wiping away her tears. Smiling a bit apologetically, she replied,

"I'm sorry. I bothered you today. Thank you again, Alex. Thank you very much."

Alex gave Lycoris a gentle soft kiss on her forehead and replied,

"You're welcome and you didn't bother me at all. I wanted to be by your side and to help you in whatever way I could."

He paused for a minute and then continued, "If you're ready, we can go find the others and tell them about having us hang out for the day."

Lycoris nodded and replied, "Alright, I'm ready. We can go whenever you're ready."

She made sure to wipe away all her tears and look presentable or at least alright.

Alex nodded and replied, "All right. Let's head downstairs and see if we can find the others nearby."

He helped Lycoris to her feet and gently he led the way out of her room and downstairs to search for the others.

Downstairs, the others had gathered in the sitting room, waiting for any news from the couple. Seeing them come down together, Lisianthus had a worried look on her face, wondering how Lycoris was faring, while Nerine seemed quiet but she was quite uncomfortable about how Alex was spending time with Lycoris.

After a little time searching, Alex found the others in the sitting room and gently led Lycoris inside. He saw the party and smiling apologetically, he said,

"I'm sorry if we worried you but Lycoris will be all right."

Ryan smiled and replied, "That's good. How are you feeling, Lycoris?"

He looked to Lycoris for a reply.

Lycoris nodded slowly and replied, "I'm ok now. I am sorry for worrying everyone."

Lisianthus shook her head and replied,

"No need to apologize, Lycoris. We're glad you're ok now."

Alex turned to Nerine and Avi and said, "While Lycoris and I were talking, we thought of a great idea. How about the four of us hang out for the rest of the day? I don't know whether everyone else has plans but we thought it would be a great idea. What do you think?"

He looked over at Nerine and Avi to await their replies.

Nerine was peeved as she heard that Lycoris would be hanging out with them as well but if she protested, how would she know that Alex wouldn't go out with Lycoris alone?

So nodding, she replied, "Sure, I don't mind."

Avi nodded happily as well and replied, "Ahh that sounds like a great idea to me as well."

(Sorry for the delay but I am majorly multi-tasking here. XD)

(Ahh no problem. I'm doing the same so it's all good. XD)

Alex smiled, hearing that Nerine and Avi agreed to the idea. He replied, "That's wonderful. I'm sure we can come up with an idea for the four of us to do."

Ryan turned to Lisianthus and asked, "Do you have any plans today, beautiful?"

(Ahh that's good. XD)

Lisianthus shook her head and replied, "Not really, cutie. I was thinking I could come up with something to do with you though."

Rosaline heard Lisianthus' sentence and thinking it was her chance, she spoke up,

"Well, if you two don't have any particular plans, perhaps the four of us could hang out together, too. I think that would be nice and I am sure Bryan and Ryan want to spend more time together. What do you think?"

Of course, Rosaline was doing this just to get Ryan close to her, and then she might be able to get him away from Lisianthus.

Ryan thought over the idea, unaware of Rosaline's true intentions, and he replied,

"I have no objections to that plan. What about you, beautiful? I think it would be fun for the four of us to hang out together."

Although Lisianthus was more wary of Rosaline's intentions, she saw that Ryan looked excited about the idea so she replied,

"Sure, that would be fun. I don't mind. It will be nice to spend time together."

(Ahh curious but how does Lisianthus suspect that Rosaline has ulterior motives? XD)

Bryan nodded and replied, "I'm all for it, too."

He turned to Rosaline and asked, "What would you like to do, my love, since you thought of this great idea?"

(Ahh didn't Ryan tell her about how he was going to let Rosaline have her romantic tries at him? She's going to be naturally wary from now on around her. XD)

Rosaline looked thoughtful then replied,

"I was thinking of the ice rink. How about it? The weather is nice and I think we all know how to skate. It will be fun."

(Ahh ok, that makes sense. XD I guess Ryan doesn't want to assume that Rosaline has other reasons. XD)

Bryan replied, "I love that idea. What about you, Ryan?"

Ryan nodded and replied, "Sounds good to me and I know my beautiful can skate well."

He smiled softly at Lisianthus.

(Well, women understand each other better than men do. XD)

Lisianthus returned the smile happily and replied,

"Yup, I do and it will be fun to skate all together."

Avi turned to Alex and replied, "What about us? Where are we going?"

(lol That's true. XD)

Alex thought about it for a minute and then replied, "Hmm, I'd like to check out some of the sweet shops here and try out some delicious desserts. Perhaps Sia can recommend some good ones in Cephiron?"

Ryan grinned and replied, "My beautiful definitely could."

Lisianthus grinned and nodding, she replied,

"Ahh of course. There is a very famous dessert shop in east of Cephiron called Fluff's Sweet Always. It's quite famous and even the setting of the restaurant is quite cute and friendly. You're going to love it."

Alex nodded happily and replied, "It sounds wonderful. How about it? We can try out some specialty sweets and it'll all be my treat."

He looked at Lycoris, Nerine, and Avi for their replies.

Avi nodded happily and replied, "Sure, I am fine with that."

Nerine and Lycoris nodded as well, with Nerine replying,

"Sure, I am ok with it too. It will be a good change."

Ryan replied, "I guess our day is set. We should get a couple of carriages to take us to the city and we should let Duchess Irene know that we'll be gone for the day. I wouldn't want her to worry about us and all."

Lisianthus nodded and replied, "Sure, no worries about that. I'll ask one of the maids to let her know that we're out for the day."

She called for a nearby maid and told her as she said, and the maid left to do as ordered. She then got up excitedly and said,

"Well, let's go everyone. The carriages should be ready in the stable so we only need to get there."
