Ariel
@hatakekuro@LmpkioAs they walked they were finally making their way into Crocus. The two of them weren't exactly unusual in a crowd of people so they weren't really bothered as they passed. Besides, apparently some other event nearby had the public murmuring. Ariel wasn't aware of that though because she was racking her brain trying to figure out what to do. Apparently she's seduced Nolan into loving her. On one hand it meant she kind of succeeded, but it probably wouldn't last forever and she slightly worried about the retribution that would come from that.
Thankfully Nolan seemed to be taking it in stride. Surely he was having more trouble dealing with this than she. Really, he was having to act completely contrary to himself. Ariel didn't know it but there was a reason Charm magic was outlawed 100 years ago. In the new age of magic not all of those rules were as well remembered or publicized. Either way when Nolan said it was okay she relaxed a little bit.
"Well that's good to hear. I'll try and not make this any worse than I already have." Twiddling her thumbs Nolan said something odd. Glancing up and taking a breath to say something she was suddenly met with Nolan leaning closer. Surprised she leaned back from Nolan but the kiss met its mark.
Freezing, there was an awkward moment where they two just stood there while people went about their business. Ariel was in shock from Nolan's action. After what seemed like forever she slowly stepped back. Her cheeks were flushed, naturally, and she wasn't entirely sure what to do or say.
That was uh... awkward." This was definitely was not how she envisioned her first actual kiss coming about. Awkward, maybe, but not because she'd forcefully enchanted anyone.
