(Slightly Adjusted) Shameless Shipping Meme

There's nothing wrong with wanting to play out some cute, fluffy interaction. So break out the butterflies in the stomach, the hand holding, the love confessions, the NOTICE ME SENPAIS, and all the adorableness you can stomach - no matter if if fits your character perfectly or not. It's all about characters getting comfortable with each other while being total goobers and showing love.

It's shameless, sure, but it's fun!

No. That's not it at all.

[ She gives his hand a gentle squeeze. ]

I came here to meet Aran Voliere, whoever that man might be. You could never disappoint me. And however much you've changed, you're still the same in all the ways that really matter.

[It gives him pause. Honestly, he can't imagine looking for the boy who had left the orphanage and finding the man he was now instead, and not being disappointed. But she's earnest. To a fault, really.]

You really think that? You must be seeing something I'm missing.

...But then, my vision isn't exactly as good as it used to be.

Of course I do.

[ Her smile is faint and a little weary, but it's a smile nonetheless. ]

I can't pretend to know what you've done or what's happened to you. But I do know that if you were anywhere close to as loathsome or as worthless as you think yourself, then you wouldn't be sitting here with me, insisting that you deserve to suffer, or that your sins are too great to repent from.

You knew what you were doing was wrong. You regret it and you've given so much of yourself to this country and its people to make up for that. You're not half the man I knew – you're twice that, and more besides.

...Hm. You're definitely seeing something I can't.

[What must he be missing out on, with only half his vision? Apparently a lot.]

You're stubborn. I can already tell, I can't defeat you on this point. It would be foolish to try. [And then something weird happens? His face, it does this thing, it's... odd, really. But that expression on his face, it looks...

It looks almost like an actual smile?] You haven't changed.

[DISASTROUS CRASHING NOISES AS LULU FALLS OFF THE TABLE ACROSS THE WAY]

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SIGHT THE SACRED MOON'S RADIANT LIGHT HAS SHONE UPON, MY FRIENDS!

[Confused Celadon blinking. Her scrying only allows her to get a rough sketch of her surroundings, in place of vision, and fine details like facial expressions are generally lost. But, she could almost swear that...]

Could his face... always do that? Did it do it before, and I forgot?

[She looks a lot more worried about this than she does about Lulu falling off the table. Then again, that probably happens a lot more often.]

Ah–

[ That... sounds like something to be concerned about? ]

Those... are your companions, aren't they?

[immediately crawling under the table to rejoin Celadon and Sophie, still at top fucking volume to make sure everybody above the table also gets to hear]

Certainly once or twice we have achieved almost this sort of divine miracle but never, Celadon, never under circumstances like this! Behold, my friend, it was—

[uses her two fingers to push the corners of celadon's mouth into a smile]

Do you understand? He has been cast with that very expression.

Celadon, O Seer, my most supernal friend, I call upon your aid and that of the very heavens; only they could answer a prayer borne of a situation so severe: Who is this celestial temptress and why is she so...small.

[Aran doesn't even turn his head, he just closes his eye and breathes deeply for a moment.]

Yes.

Yes, that would be them. [Another deep breath and he stands up.] Excuse me for a moment.

[Then he turns, and starts walking towards the table the others are at. And guess what?

Mom sure isn't smiling now.]

[continued crashing noises as lulu, blithe to all danger around her, pulls the tablecloth low enough to cover her and sophie and celadon while they titter excitedly from underneath]

[Immediately, as though this is the only logical response:]

Why is Aran tall? She's small for the same reason.

[Celadon tilts her head, unseeing eyes widening in awe. She pats the corners of her mouth experimentally, as if trying to figure out how the expression fits together.]

And he didn't even need the fingers...

[Aran is so talented, he can smile without help. This is clearly very impressive.]

For the same reason... Celadon, you are an endless font of wisdom.

It's like they're made for each other...

[ A DREAMY SIGH ]

[This is not quite the mastery of stealth this might seem from underneath the table. And sure enough, there's footsteps growing closer and closer to the table.

Immediately followed by Aran lifting the tablecloth up.]

Out.

Now.

Ah! Mister Aran!

[ behold! huddled together under the table as if this is a normal thing people do are Sophie, Celadon a–

...

Just... Sophie and Celadon... ]

What's the matter?

Oh... his face is normal now...

[Celadon appears totally unconcerned by this turn of events.]

[Two. There's only two.]

...Sophie.

Sophie, I am going to ask you a question. And I need you to answer me honestly and clearly.

[He's staring her down very intensely.]

Where is she.
