i consider it to be very justifiable after he pinched my cheeks the other day.ᐟ he still treats me like a child that's incapable of taking care of themselves. . .

( obviously she isn't listening. she's too busy huffing and pouting. )

( with a very evident smile on her precious face and a tight grip around the bag full of treats, she was completely ecstatic. )

i'll be sure to keep these safe. don't worry; you won't be receiving a lecture from hugo an͟y͟t͟i͟m͟e͟ soon.

( her eyes light up with delight. he truly does care.ᐟ )

that is a splendid idea.ᐟ don't forget to spoil me. i'm your favorite agent after all. ♡

h m m. . .

what he doesn't know won't hurt him.

( she spoke with such confidence. this little disaster just needs to make sure there isn't any evidence left. that shouldn't be a problem for a phantom thief. )

( h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶s̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶u̶l̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶.̶ why else is she limiting herself to clinging on his sleeve.ᐣ it's a shame. vivian is trapt within her own fantasy to pay any attention to the various onlookers. )

i haven't eaten a tart in such a long time. hugo was limiting my sugar intake.

( a subtle nod, her dainty fingers curled into the rim of his sleeve. crossing that threshold wouldn't do her any good. )

lead the way, sir wise.

now you have to make it up to me. buy me something sweet. ♡

i wouldn't be so careless.ᐟ humph, have some more faith in me.

used to it.ᐣ hm . . .

it doesn't sound as heroic and mystical. just kidding.ᐟ

( first name basis.ᐣ of, she could stop squealing while jumping up and down out of sheer joy. )

i'll be sure to cherish this moment lord pha─── i mean, wise.ᐟ

p f f t.

( she's most definitely taking mental notes. so it's belle that would be easier to converse with. how very interesting. )

that's perfectly fine. you're still my dear lord phaethon. ♡

. . .

is lord phaethon a boomer.ᐣ

then it's your job to take me out to all of your favorite haunts. ♡

you have to promise to spend the rest of the day with me.ᐟ

do you promise.ᐣ do you.ᐣ

( gently tugs at his sleeve to make sure to grasp his full undivided attention. )

all of the above, of course.ᐟ

( she's just glazing this man up at this point. who cares.ᐣ she does. she a͟l͟w͟a͟y͟s͟ cares. )

( vivian is carelessly placing a few hair clips within wise's hair. she truly did not have a single care in the world at this moment. )

hm. . . stars, hearts, maybe teddy bears.ᐣ which one would fit lord phaethon the best.ᐣ

( covers up her lips to mask her precious little giggles. )

okay.ᐟ i'll try to keep it down.

i'll be sure to carry you around as well, lord phaethon.ᐟ

vivian actively placing ribbons and hair clips in everyone's hair. ♡
