Who: Crew of the Shepherd + anyone who would be around
What: I want caaaandy!
Where: The ship and all around (catch-all event thread)
When: 9th onward

The Shepherds had picked up several new crew members in recent days, but it seemed that the world they were now in had seen fit to share with them another new addition: the presence of bowls of heart shaped candy strewn about the ship.

It seemed shenanigans were about to be afoot.

The second kiss may just came and went, but it was enough to make Alice feel more than a little light headed. She was pretty okay with this, actually. She could be "okay" with that over and over again, if the situation called for it. She gives a laugh that is far more flighty than the sort of thing that would normally leave her, and for a moment almost agreed to Mana's suggestion without skipping a beat. It wasn't like she had anything else she needed... to... do...?

Her eyes widened. Oh. The flowers. She had to arrange them and get them together and delivered and... If she went off with Mana now, she was fairly certain she wouldn't be getting much work done after all that.

Ears burning, she takes a step back from Mana and smiles sheepishly. "I- I would love to, Mana, but... I will have to join the both of you a little later... There is one more thing I need to take care of, first..."

Leaving right then and there was the last thing she wanted to do, but if she didn't... Well, it wouldn't get done. She was certain of this.

Mana blinked. For a moment, it looked like she might be disappointed, but the smile she quickly shifted to said differently.

"I understand!" she exclaimed. "Don't worry about it! As long as we can all meet up later, there's no problem!"

Alice nodded, trying to take another step back, finding herself really, really not wanting to. She looked back and forth for a moment, and then gave herself a defeated sigh. She leaned forward again, kissing Mana just one more time. It lingered a little bit longer than Mana's last one before she tore herself away and let go of her pink-haired girlfriend.

Because even with the candy's effects worn off, she really was not going to do that if she didn't force herself to, at this point.

"I- I will see you... in a little while then, Mana!" she blurted out, far louder than she meant to, before making herself turn around and... retreat elsewhere in the ship without looking back, lest she go running right back into Mana's arms.

Mana's eyes widened when Alice kissed her, and... she just kind of stood there, that stupid grin on her face as she waved Alice off.

She really was pretty lucky, wasn't she?
