Chapter Text
An odd hour, 3am, some would call it the witching hour, I simply call it the hour she arrives. The sloshing of water beating as wings upon her back signals arrival, and the window of my chamber opens to receive her within my home.
The bow is customary, my own insistence on keeping to a tradition long since passed. Her response? A simple nod, and holding out her hand to shake, which I graciously do. But tonight is different, she pulls me into a hug. I will admit, though kind I have been in spades to this blue tinted lass, the physical aspect of our friendly relationship has been neglected on my part... but this hug was a welcome change.
And afterwards we baked, it was a fine thing, us working together to craft a hefty loaf of sweetbread, more than once our hands brushed over the other's, a coincidence met with a blush and mild embarrassment by us both. She was growing evermore beautiful to me by the night, mayhaps we desired more than friendship, but... we decided to continue waiting.
Our co-baked snack done and cooled, we ate and conversed about anything but ourselves and when the sun began to rise... I bid her farewell. Ah Lapis... how you fly I'll never know.
