[That you can forge powerful Memories, can be trusted to keep a secret, and have an affinity to shadows.]
The last part was a bit problematic, but after thinking about it for a moment, Sunny had to admit that it was for the best that Nephis had been warned in advance, She would have noticed the nature of his Aspect sooner or later, anyway-it was better to Inform her first to prevent her from getting the wrong Idea.
Or rather, the right Idea.
In any case...
Carrying the glass of water back... Sunny somehow found himself also carrying a small plate with a piece of cherry cake on it, as well. He had made the cake this morning to prevent the batch of Beast Farm cherries from going bad, but as to how it ended up on a plate in his hand right now...
Sunny's recollection was foggy.
He was suddenly full of suspicion.
[...You didn't erase my memories, did you?]
For the first time in a while, Cassie's voice sounded confused:
[Huh?]
He gritted his teeth. Of course, she didn't. She wouldn't have been able to in such a short amount of time, not to mention without looking him into the eyes.
[Never mind.]
It was already too late to turn back. Returning to the dining hall, he placed the glass of water and the piece of cake in front of Nephis.
She stared at the cake silently, then looked up at glanced at him.
...Her serious eyes were way too tantalizing.
‘Crap.’
This whole situation was wrong. Why wasn't she wearing her armor? Had she destroyed her armor again?! Is that why she was wearing a dress today?
Was the Memory she wanted to commission an armor? Then he had to finish the commission as fast as possible!
On the other hand...
Really...
It wouldn't hurt to take his time with it. Would it?
He wouldn't want to make anything less than flawless, if it was for Nephis.
Keeping his expression neutral, Sunny sat down across from her and said with a polite smile:
"You probably haven't heard that our cafe is famous for its desserts..."
Of course, she hadn't. Because it wasn't.
But then again, Nephis had made him dessert once.
So it was only fair for him to return the favor, right?
