Masayoshi sighed, clutching her scroll in one hand as she walked through the ship. Suddenly, she turned a corner, only to bump into a firm, muscular chest, moving back slightly.
"Ay, Masayoshi!" David said, he grabbed her shoulders, making sure she was steady, while looking down at her. Slowly, he leaned down, kissing her on the cheek.
"Aw, hey honey" Masayoshi said. She hovered off the ground slightly, going face to face with the man.
"Been looking for ya all over. How ya been?" He asked, returning her smile.
"I've been wonderful! I've finally mastered that spell I was working on" Masayoshi said, excitement and pride clear in her voice.
"That's amazing honey! I knew ya could do it!" David said, matching her excitement as he wrapped her into a hug. He had no idea about the process of learning magic, but wanted to support her regardless.
"So I take it ya training with Cullthane is going alright?"
"Yeah! I've already pretty much mastered the basics of dark magic and potion crafting! and now that I've gotten the basics down for plant magic, I'm on a whole different level than I was when I started!" Masayoshi said cheerfully.
"Ya never cease to amaze, honey. Let me know if ya need anyone to test those spells on." He said, chuckling.
Masayoshi smiled.
"I might take you up on that offer! But that's enough about me, how have you been feeling?" She asked.
"...Bit better. Still feeling...messed up about this whole thing...but...I'm trying to power through, ya know." David said, scratching his head.
"...Well, I'm always open if you need to talk, honey. If you're struggling, don't keep it to yourself..." Masayoshi said, running a hand along his cheek.
"Alright, honey. I'll keep that in mind, alright?" He said.
"So where are ya heading? Ya gonna get some training in?" He asked, glancing around.
"...Well...I was going to rest for the night but...." She murmured.
"...Why don't we...celebrate my newfound mastery...and take your mind off of things for a bit..." She said, smiling at him.
"Oh? What do ya have in mind?" David asked, scratching his head. Suddenly, he could feel something wrap around his neck a thick collar made of pure magic forming on his skin. A chain sprouted from the object, Masayoshi holding it as she began to tug it forward.
"...You'll see~" Masayoshi purred. Slowly she pulled the chain, leading a very confused David into the room, kicking the door closed behind them.
