"Remind me again, David..."
Thomas Greenvern let out a long sigh as he descended the ship's staircase.
"...why the hell didn't we come to Edenis Raphiel earlier?"
David came up beside him, casually scratching the back of his head.
"Don't drag me into your fantasy of boarding Alfred's ship," he scoffed. "I'm perfectly fine with the one we were on."
Thomas gave him a knowing smile.
"I don't believe a single word of that."
He folded his arms as they continued walking.
"You must've spent the entire trip fantasizing about sharing a ship with Her Highness, Aurora. When are you finally going to give up, David?"
David didn't miss a beat.
"I'll answer that once you answer mine. When are you going to stop obsessing over Alfred? It's honestly getting embarrassing."
Thomas shot him a sharp glare.
"You dare insult the Crown Prince?"
"See?" David scoffed. "Even now you're defending him instead of denying anything." He shook his head. "No wonder everyone thinks you're gay for Alfred."
