Reunion (3)

"Ella? What are you doing here?"

After twirling the young maiden in his arms a few rounds, Leon settled them down before asking the crucial question. Ellahan looked up at the young Knight with puppy eyes, before answering: "Why do you not want me here?"

"N-No, of course not!"

Leon stammered at his lover's curt question, only to be met with another bright smile.

"Hehe, I missed you soooooo much!!!"

Ignoring the crowd of onlookers, Ellahan buried her face into the young Knight's chest, nuzzling it like she was embracing the scented bolster. Intoxicated by the aroma she hadn't experienced in a while, the Saintess of the Holy Church was late to react when another presence creeped up behind her.

"Alright, you should leave the tearful reunion for later."
