Yup.

[ Cloud reaches into his pocket, but before he can pull out his phone, Weiss already has hers ready. But he doesn't protest or make a face. Instead, he just nods as she the cashier is ready to take their money. It's actually a pretty decent cost as well!

He could have sworn it'd be more, but there was a special going on right now. Buy one, get one half-price. Just another bonus. ]


Thanks, Weiss.

[ Manners. He has them. Sometimes. As the crew at the stall get to work, the dark speckled blue froyo mixture is swirled into their cups, before crunched graham cracker and frosted flakes are added to each one respectfully. Finally, topped with raspberries with some juice left on the spoon dripping. It's nothing obtuse, but it is a little indulgent after all the food they ate.

But Cloud never quite cared about that. They both kept up with their training anyways! Always ready for the next challenge.

Topped with adorable pink and yellow spoons, he takes both cups when they're ready, handing off Weiss' before giving a little salute-wave goodbye to the froyo stand. ]
liveandforgive: (i'll come back)

Uh oh. [ A beat. ] Hope that doesn't make me a bad influence.

[ Said behind a smirk before he takes a bite of his own froyo creation. As they walk along the non-food stalls, Cloud suddenly can feel the scenery changing in his mind's eye. Instead of the more medieval aesthetics they find themselves surrounded by in Camelot, he remembers the semi-futuristic, colorful city of Lunatia. It's just another day after picking Weiss up from rehearsal, popping in for their favorite frozen yoghurt as the lady who owns the place watches over them. Walking down the street together, in blissful silence or discussing what's going to happen tomorrow...

It's enough to make his smile grow behind his spoonful of blueberry froyo. ]


I know something's caught your eye.
liveandforgive: (come on. i'm here)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-06 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's little hesitation on Cloud's part as he holds out his free hand to her. There's a trash bin outside the shop, and he doesn't have much of his froyo left, but when they finish them... ]

I wanna see them on you.
liveandforgive: (still not letting you in)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-06 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Cloud was waiting to take her hand and head towards the jewelry when she was finished. But! Whether he takes her cup or hand, it doesn't matter much to him. But as she asks which ones he wants her to try, he actually has to take a closer look. Scooping what's left of his froyo and eating it, he drops his own cup in the trash before peering closer. ]

Any one, really...

[ Once he's been given permission to pick up an open jewelry box, he shows off a pair of deep red, smooth jeweled earrings. ]
liveandforgive: (someday the rain will stop)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-07 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
They're red like the ones you've got.

[ Cloud patiently takes her earrings in his hand, closed palm and all as she holds the new gold-traced pair up. Tapping his foot, he lightly hums as he peers through the rest of the jewelry. Come to think of it...when's the last time he wore something different? He only sports the wolf stud on his left ear, and once in a while wears the Schnee family brooch. But now she's got him thinking too! Stroking his chin, he glances back up to Weiss as she checks herself out in the mirror. ]

Think so?

[ That gets him peeks around her side to get a better look. Right now, it doesn't match her current outfit, but envisioning them with lighter coloured dresses as she said... He realizes the asking prices for this jewelry and is...actually? Really impressed. The lady swears to their quality, but of course they can't be real rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds... Not at these prices. One would have to step into a more guarded jewelry store for gifts like those. But that isn't to say these are cheap!

Just that the stones themselves aren't as rare. ]


Keep those in a "maybe" pile for now.

[ With these prices, he may or may not be spoiling her tonight. Or when she's not around. ]
liveandforgive: (the ol' shy tuck)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-08 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
I-I do! It's just...

[ Oh. He feels put on the spot. And while he does give her back her earrings, he briefly finds himself tucking his chin to the edge of his collar again, cheeks tinted. His gaze flits to her still. ]

I gotta keep tabs on what you like or not.
liveandforgive: (a moment to breath)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-08 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ That grants him pause, blinking with wider eyes at his girlfriend when she puts it all on him. Him and his A+ fashion sense. Cloud's gaze falters from her, but only so he can get a good look at the rest of the jewelry on display at this stand. He paces back and forth, bending over to get a better look at some of them as he studies various gemstones and metals. He thinks to the gifts given to her in the past. More specifically? Her necklace... ]

Something I'd want to see...

[ There. Looking up at the merchant, he points at a pair of earrings. ]

May I?

[ Trusting the couple by now, she nods and allows him to have a better look. These ones are a little pricier in comparison. But when Cloud takes the little jewelry box and holds it open for Weiss to see... ]

Here.
liveandforgive: (can't believe me eyes)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-09 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ He already had a mental image in his head of how they'd look on her. Maybe in a bright sundress or something... Yes, he fantasizes about his girlfriend in pretty outfits and gets flustered if someone sees him. Like someone can read his thoughts. fadshjk

But nothing could prepare him for the real thing. For half a moment he's left dumbfounded, staring at her with a sense of wonder in his eyes. Only partially self aware, it's enough to make him snap out of it with a couple blinks as her question registers. There's the price tag to consider too... Because he's kind of already made up his mind. ]


Beautiful.
liveandforgive: (i did...for a bit)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-10 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ He should have seen this coming. He really wants to be able to provide gifts for her from time to time with his own money. But it's not as easy to come by as it was in Prismatica. While his delivery business never (SOMEHOW) took payments in the form of intimate Moonlacing, Chroma and Demichroma were how he earned his funds outside of all the times he'd be close with Weiss. But having her look at him like that...he's weak all over again. Huffing a sigh, his smile softens further before, ]

Halfsies.

[ But they belong solely to her. The merchant can't help but smile too, yet remains courteous instead of fawning over the couple. ]

We'll take it.

[ The price is relatively steep, but at least it wasn't like they were spending on diamonds. The jeweler almost wishes that they could provide a discount to the two... And while they don't say it outright?

When everything is said and done and they give the earrings back to be properly packed in the box and rang through, their total isn't quite what he expected... Only a slight difference! They rounded down the cost enough so that it could be an easy split. One sure wouldn't catch Cloud making a fuss! ]
liveandforgive: (what do you remember?)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-11 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's a reflex at this point, but while he doesn't shy away from the burst of affection, he does brace himself as his arm instinctively shoots around her waist to hold her close. The side of his face scrunches with a wink as he smiles, rubbing the back of his head before they sort out paying for the earrings. When everything is all said and done? ]

Will yours fit in the box?

[ Because they could swap her earrings with the new ones one now! ]
liveandforgive: (gonna be alright)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-12 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ "Well?" ]

Like anything looks good on you. [ A beat. ] And these are even better.

[ As much as he means every word that he says to her now, he's also done buttering her up too much. Whether Cloud just forgets himself and where they are (or the fact he just doesn't care), he lifts his hand up to the side of his girlfriend's face. The way he cups it is tender, but more importantly, his thumb brushes along the pearl that hangs from the end of one of her earrings, his gaze settling on it momentarily as he smiles with approval. ]

Yup. Definitely a keeper.

[ Drawing his hand back, Cloud chances a glance back at the rest of the jewelry. They went halfsies on this for her, and it's not like they can feasibly spend much more right now, but still... ]

You still looking around?

[ Because he'll wait for her and watch with her if she was. ]
liveandforgive: (that is a nice wall)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-13 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ If he'd have met Weiss on any other world, if they'd still gotten together, he likely would have been less publicly affectionate when it came to her. Prismatica, for better or worse, had opened him up quite a bit when it came to these kinds of displays. ...not that he was going to be sweeping her off her feet and kissing her in a dipping pose in front of a crowd like in the movies. Ever. Someone smack him if something ever came over him to do that.

But this... This was right. No matter which way he sliced it, this just felt right. No matter the world. The time. The place. ]


Lead on, then?
liveandforgive: (you're watching over me right?)

[personal profile] liveandforgive 2021-07-15 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[ Cloud doesn't clue in until they're just about at the stall of stationery. Pens, books, journals... It reminds him of their talk they had about getting him pens before they began dating. He admits that since arriving here in Avalon, he hasn't had much need since he did less paperwork. But... The thought makes him smile. Not to mention there are pieces of literature here that he could invest in as well. ]

Is it weird that I miss my office supplies?

[ The notebooks. The folders. The pens. Books. They're in the right place then! His hand hovers over various colors of blank hardcover journals. While the blend of old and modern technology was prevalent, there were still some fountain pens available for trying out on blank sheets of paper, complete with clean looking feathers!

Just as his hand hovers over one in particular though, a light frown mars his lips. Rather than dwell over the black feather however, he shakes his head and picks up a white feathered pen instead. ]


Be honest. [ Feather pen in hand, he turns to Weiss to show her. The less he thinks of black feathers, the better. ] This too much for just a pen?

[ Not the cost. But the style. He's never owned one like this before. ]
