Tactics Across Time

“I mean… I’d love to, but…”

He anxiously tapped his fingers together, ruminating on it. Cheeks flush a soft pink.

Electricity did the trick, but wasn’t always reliable.

“Thinking of trying some kind of adhesive spell. That can pin your arms and legs long enough to remove all weapons.”

"That sounds more useful than some spells that exist. Would you want to spar with me later and try it? I'll bet 1,000 Gold that you can't pry my microphone from my hands."

“I mean… I’d love to, but…”

“Fine. But if I successfully evade you, I’m in the clear?”

"Oh! You're welcome. We rarely ever get a break these days, huh? What with your studies, and my live shows." Lenne polished off the rest of her plate, albeit slowly. "Have you learned any new spells?"

His reaction to her performing that song

He found himself taking a cookie too, staving off the rest of them was still quite the task.

“…I don’t know, personally, how safe it is right now.”

Timidly dipping the cookie in his own cup of tea.

But not before taking off his robes to offer her as a safety blanket while she waited for him to take care of things.

It would only be a few minutes before the alarms turned off, and it’s confirmed the building is safe again.

And with that Robin came back in with a tray of cookies, tea, and bottled water for the idol.

“So sorry about all that. We’re in the clear.”

The Pop Star gingerly reached out for the bottled water, tea, and cookies. "Thank you." Upon taking a cookie, she nibbled on it and moaned at the rich chocolate taste. She usually denied herself sweets since she had a tendency to overindulge.

"Is it safe enough to go home now? Or should we wait a while?"

“I-I’ll be okay. Somehow…” She held onto him, trying to ground herself. “Bevelle Guardsman. Even though the war is over, they’re still hostile.”

Lenne was grateful that Robin came to her defense. The encounter with that brute honestly frightened her as he seemed to be waiting for her outside the studio. She didn’t have a chance to summon an Aeon, or protect herself. If the white haired man hadn’t been there, she might have perished at the hands of her assailant.

“Are you going after them? Please, be careful. A-and take this.” She rummaged through her bag, eventually pulling an elixir out. “You never know when you’ll need aid. If no one is there to help you, use this.” It was her last elixir, but she knew White Magic and had a few regular potions if she landed in hot water.

//Maybe she would react like this? 🤔 I wrote it as a small para...

Robin had immediately locked in to his usual self, getting as much intel as possible to ensure the situation was fully dealt with. He just had a vague sense this woman he’s just met was in danger, entered the scene, then survivalist instincts kicked in.

…He did not anticipate being pulled into a strong hug from her. Feeling his cheek tingle s bit as she kissed it. This immediately caught him off guard, as he ushered out timidly.

“…N-no problem.”

💄 Leave lipstick marks on the sender's face / neck / body. 🛏️ Push the sender onto the bed and pounce them with kisses.

Lenne peppered Robin's cheeks and forehead with kisses. She forgot that she'd just applied a thick layer of purple colored lip lacquer to her full lips. "Oh, dear!" The brunette gasped, blushing profusely when she saw his face. "This lip gloss was supposed to be transfer-proof..." Before he could respond, she decided to push him onto the mattress, and lean in to resume kissing his face.
