Train announcer:
Train bounding for Langport departing.
Train bounding for Langport departing.
Aaron and Yingli enter the train.
Aaron (narration):
Ever since we met the Spriggan, it’s been one insane thing after another and dealt with some fucked up shit. I am sure there is something stirring in Heiyue, too. Whatever it is, I hope Yingli will be okay.
Aaron:
Crazy last couple of months, yeah?
Yingli:
It was. …
Aaron:
What are you thinking about?
Yingli:
I am still trying to process everything.
Aaron:
Tons of shit did went down for us.
Yingli:
Y-yeah…
Aaron:
Is something bothering you?
Yingli:
I-it’s nothing, I think I am just tired.
Aaron:
Look, hot stuff, you gotta tell me things. I’m not a mind reader. Did the old man work you too hard?
Yingli:
… Aaron. Van was fair in his delegation of tasks.
Aaron:
Are you not used to being in Edith?
Yingli:
It’s not that.
….
Yingli:
I-it’s about my other workplace.
They wouldn’t be happy knowing we’re together.
Aaron:
Screw them. Our relationship is none of their business.
Yingli:
I wish I had Aaron’s strength.
Yes, I suppose.
Aaron:
Let’s sweat about it when it comes up. They are unpredictable, so no use fretting over them now.
Yingli:
You’re right. Thank you, Aaron!
You’re always helping me out of a rut. You truly are my silver lining.
Aaron:
You gotta stop being so down, Yingli.
Let’s do some planning on what we’re doing back home!
Yingli:
We need to visit auntie Yuefa.
Aaron:
That goes without saying, it’s one of the reasons why we’re heading back.
Yingli:
I wonder what she will think about us?
Aaron:
Of course mom’ll be happy about us! She always liked you.
Yingli:
That’s good. Even with all the trouble I caused her-
Aaron:
You’re being a downer again!
You were no trouble, we liked having you around! Mom actually talked about wanting you to live with us a few times, if we ever get a bigger place.
Yingli:
Auntie Yuefa…
Aaron:
Let’s make sure we are ready to pick some white lilies at the cave. We should stop by the department store.
Yingli:
Ah- I put away some Mira for this! I am excited to see what they have to offer in terms of swords!
Aaron:
There is that smile I was waiting for!
You’re so cute when you’re like this!
Yingli:
Heh heh, you’re not embarrassed to be seen with me when I become over zealous like this?
Aaron:
Of course not! I think you’re hot as hell.
Yingli:
I’m glad!
Aaron:
Let’s make the department store our first stop, after you report to your other job.
Yingli:
You already know how things work.
Aaron:
Hah! I want to know what went down in the capital, too, if I were them. But it’s lame they want to do this all in person, when Lao Yeye is just a phone call away.
Yingli:
I am sure they have their reasons.
Mm… let’s go say hi to Sei and the others too.
Aaron:
Of course! I think Sei will get a kick out of seeing us together. Him and Syd were always rooting for us to hook up.
Yingli:
Ah- Aaron, that is…
Aaron:
*laughing* I just want to eat you up, you’re so cute!
Yingli:
Please, Aaron, there are children around us.
Aaron:
Okay, okay, I’ll stop.
Yingli:
*Sigh*
Aaron:
There, there.
We need to make a stop at the theatre, too. They will be putting on a few shows for the new year, we should help out.
Yingli:
Of course! I think my other workplace has a couple of roles lined up for me.
Aaron:
Say, do you want to spread some rumours with me?
Yingli:
Eh? We’re taking on 4SPGs without Van?
Aaron:
They’re not exactly that, but I’ve seen the old man work and it’s efficient, thought I’ll take a page out of his book. I will be doing this for free, too. But if folks wanted to throw a few Mira our way, I won’t refuse.
Yingli:
Fair enough. Please let me help!
Aaron:
If you have some free time from your other job, then come join me. Of course I will do what I can to give you a hand, too.
Yingli:
Thank you, Aaron.
Aaron:
Let’s try to make some time to play around and party, too!
Yingli:
Hehe, of course!
Train announcer:
We have arrived at Langport.
We have arrived at Langport.
Please ensure all personal belongings are taken off the train.
Aaron:
Let me carry your stuff.
Yingli:
Are you certain?
Aaron:
Yeah, I don’t have much to carry anyway.
Yingli:
Th-thank you.
Scene change to Langport.
Syd:
Ah! Aaron! Yingli! You guys made it!
Aaron:
Hey Syd!
Yingli:
Hello Syd.
Syd:
I saw you guys together at the revolution festival, and I still think it’s crazy you two are going out.
Aaron:
*Kisses Yingli*
Yingli:
Mmm —
Syd:
Okay man, now you’re just showing off.
