What: CUPIDBOTS
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: VALENTIMES DAY
Warnings: None yet, but will be updated if that changes

Ah, February 14th. A day for loving lovers to love... But at Smash Academy, it meant something else...

At the crack of dawn, they appeared. Tiny robotic cherubs wielding bows and arrows. Those who had been at the academy for some time knew what they were: The Cupidbots. Obnoxious, potentially life-ruining robots with one mission: Fire their arrows at unsuspecting passers-by, causing them to fall in love with the first person they saw for the next 24 hours. They would be gone by the next day, but still for the best to try and avoid them.

WHAT DO?

Perhaps his heart would have broken if she had turned him down.

Mayhap. The man wasn't fond of so clearly expressing himself, even to someone who spoke the same 'language.' He already knew he was being obvious, however, and she'd had every reason to reject him and his foolish ideals. Not even knowing where said ideals came from, Caim was beside himself with joy at her acceptance. He guided her hand until he had shifted her arm along with it in favour of curling about his arm. Some inkling of noble bearing, he might have claimed. He'd carried Furiae on his arm many times in the same fashion.

But that was Furiae and this was Chell.

He finally allowed a genuine smile to creep into his features and peering sidelong to her, there was a certain kind of pride that reflected in every inch of him. And where would you prefer to go, milady?

Chell eagerly let Caim take her arm in his, and it felt so oddly warm and comfortable. Like her arm was made for slipping into the crook of his. She would have been content staying just like this, standing with Caim with this amount of contact, silently enjoying each other.

So when Caim wordlessly inquired as to where she wanted to go, Chell really didn't have an answer. She simply gave a half-hearted shrug, because it didn't matter. And she smiled softly, as if to say that she was happy doing anything, going anywhere, as long as it was with him.

She was making it easy for him. Not that he would have expected to be so complicated. Even if she had been, Caim had a feeling he easily would have done any number of things for her approval. The famed power a woman had over a man, after all. And different from a younger sister to her brother, he noticed. The still kind of urgency sat behind his actions, but the sensation as a whole wasn't identical.

He eyed her with some wonder and decided to allow his feet the privilege of wandering. To where? He had no idea. Somehow, suddenly... the place meant very little and it was the woman on his arm who became the entire world to him. The very realisation made a sincere smile creep its way into his features and undeniably, the weight that restrained his heart was lifted, carried a little by her shoulders.

Well, then. If you find something that catches your fancy, do inform me. And if he could have spoken, he would have said that it was her who caught his.
