Thoma sits down his thoughts racing from what Lady Frey said.
Taking a breath, he looks out the window as Taruomaru lays in his lap.
He suddenly hears a knock, turning his head, he gets up which made Taruomaru move off of him.
Walking to the door about to open it, but it opened itself and he sees Ayato out of breath and shaken.
"My Lord?"
Ayato looks up at Thoma catching his breath, "Have you seen Sayu!?"
Thoma blinks, "Yes, she's asleep in a room? Why?"
"Show me!"
Thoma nods and they both walk to Sayu's room and Thoma slid the door open to see Sayu sleeping peacefully on a low futon.
Ayato takes a sigh of relief and immediately leans on Thoma, Thoma blinks out of confusion.
"Is everything alright?"
Ayato holds Thoma closer and Thoma wince his face blush, "My Lord!?"
"I'm just glad you two are save..."
Thoma blinks then smiles as he hugs Ayato, "You don't need to worry about us we're both capable of taking care of ourselves.."
Suddenly his thought change and he pulls Ayato away, "Which means you shouldn't be here!"
Ayato wince, "What?"
Thoma looks down, "I shouldn't be seeing you!" He moves his arms back.
"Thoma?"
Thoma quickly shuts his eyes, "It for the best!" He starts pushing Ayato out, "I'll make sure Sayu will join you! It's not safe to be around me!"
Ayato turns as he got to the door, "Thoma! Wait! What are you talking about!?"
Thoma looks aside, "I'm sorry..."
Ayato about he reach out to him but Thoma slaps his hand away, "Just go!"
Ayato eyes widen and he looks down, closing his eyes.
"As you wish..."
Thoma looks aside, shutting his eyes as he hears Ayato steps get further and further away.
Thoma opens his eyes to see Taruomaru looking up at him, "Don't look at me like that..."
Taruomaru turns walking away, Thoma watched as he turns closing the door.
Leaning against the door, he slowly sliding down with his head down.
"I'm truly sorry..."
He curls up with his head on his arms and suddenly he feels licks on his face from Taruomaru causing him to bring his head up.
"Taruomaru not now!"
Hearing a foot steps, Thoma looks up to Sayu.
"Do I have to go..." She yawns, wiping her eyes as Thoma smiles softly.
"Not yet..."
Sayu looks down then nods and Thoma got up and Taruomaru jumped away.
Letting out a sigh, Thoma looks back at the door.
"Ayato...please don't hate me..."
•••
Thoma stands by Sayu as they both walk around town and suddenly hearing a familiar voice.
"HEY YOU! OVER HERE!"
Thoma turns to see Lady Frey waving at him and he just smiles awkwardly.
"Yes? You need something?"
Lady Frey smiles as she gotten close, "Now don't give me that attitude! I just need help by the Fixer himself!"
Quickly covering her mouth, Thoma looks around, "Shush! Can't go around saying that!"
Lady Frey taps his hand and Thoma moves it away, she smiles.
"Would you relax! Nobody will know!"
She giggles and Thoma gulps, looking down Lady Frey spots Sayu.
"Oh? Hi, little one!"
Sayu looks up at her and goes behind Thoma's legs holding onto one as Thoma looks down at her.
"She's shy..."
Lady Frey giggles, "I can see that!"
Thoma turns to Lady Frey, "So what is it that you need help with?"
Lady Frey gives a big smile, "You know a lot about my husband, right!"
"He's not your husband..."
"Well~ not yet!"
Thoma looks down, "Yes..."
Lady Frey hugs Thoma, "Yay! I'm so glad I came to you!"
Thoma looks away nervously, "That's nice...now can you let go.."
Lady Frey quickly gets off as she takes Thoma's hand, "I need you to tell me every my Ayato loves!"
Thoma looks down at Sayu thats still holding his leg, she looking up shaking her head, Thoma close his eyes.
"For what?"
Lady Frey smiles, "For our wedding, of course!"
Thoma eyes widen then soften to a close as he turned his head to Lady Frey.
"Right..."
Lady Frey starts pulling Thoma, "Alright, let's go!"
•••
Thoma waits from afar as Lady Frey looking at colors for cloth.
Thoma looking down, "What am I doing..."
"Why am I helping her..."
He looks up as Lady Frey talking to a lady, seeing the colors she picked that he picked for her and Ayato hurts him.
Thoma looks down holding his chest as he feels Sayu hand trying to hold his.
Thoma looks down at her and smiles softly, "Thank you..."
Sayu smiles slightly as she let's go after hearing Lady Frey voice.
"Oh my Archons! Thank you soo much!"
Thoma looks at her, "I'm glad to help..."
Lady Frey hugs him again causing Thoma to wince.
"You're the best!"
Thoma looks aside, "Yeah..."
Letting go, Lady Frey gives a smile she glance up, "Oh my the time! I see to get going I have a lot of planning to do!"
She turns to her side and gave Thoma a wink, "Thanks again!" She waves taking off leaving Thoma alone with Sayu.
Thoma watched as she left, he smiles.
