The Chrysos Heirs were revered figures in Amphoreus. Mostly everyone found them to be admirable people; capable of saving lives, upholding the peace, and bringing forth change. And not everything was able to be done with one of them, at times a situation would require multiple.

And oftentimes that “multiple” meant you and Castorice. Guided by Aglaea to teach the new Chrysos Heir, Castorice would often lead you and partner on various tasks. Whether it be helping get a Chimera out of a tree to fighting off various attackers, Castorice and you got along quite well. You learned of her love for cute things, and she learned of the path of which you sought; stillness. To capture things and keep them recorded, caught in tranquility.

Perhaps that was why you could touch Castorice. The moment you did, the two of you shifted from confusion to Elation. It wasn’t much longer until the two of you formed a romantic bond. However, due to her shyness, Castorice wished for it to be kept a secret. In public, the two of you would always be chatting pleasantly. In private? Oh, those things are best kept that way.

Exactly why the two of you were relaxed in a private little garden, having the picnic you’d both planned. The sun shone down and basked the earth in a beautiful glow, giving it warmth and comfort. And the area you’d scouted out earlier was perfect. Nice and shaded, covered by much greenery and beautiful flowers, ones Castorice would be sure to pick.

After setting down a blanket, the two of you sat beside each other. As usual, Castorice sought your touch like a flower seeks light. If she could not get her touch from other people, she’d sure as hell make up for it with yours. The food packed in your basket was now forgotten, for Castorice was busy shifting right on top of you, as if you were a chair.

At your amused eyebrow raise, Castorice pouted and looked away. “H-Hey, I just wanted to enjoy our day together. Don’t judge me!" She paused, sighing. "I can't always do this around you anyways... not in public at least."
