There was something special about the hug the two girls were locked in. Yes, the two of them seemed to do this pretty much every single time they would meet. But right now, it was not just a part of their greetings. From the temporary terror that was running through Charlotte’s body to the sadness that slowly filled Desirée, there were much deeper feelings involved this time around. And above all the desire to give and need for comfort. Humans were creatures that were naturally looking for companionship. They lived in groups and would quickly crumble if separated and alone for too long. And there was no doubt that these two had lived through such unfortunate and uncomfortable situations in the past. Thankfully, they now had each other. And as far as the White Witch was concerned, she never wanted to leave her best friend’s side, even if someone were to try and force her to. And though she was lost in the moment, she actually realized what her friend asked before the girl so rudely interrupted her with the forceful hug. “
O..oh, no need for band-aids! I’m a healer myself after all!” It would probably some sort of failure if she required help in healing a minor injury of her own, right? In any case, she wasn’t even really injured when Des jumped at her out of nowhere. It was all more about the shock and even that quickly disappeared into the warmth of her friend’s body in her embrace.
The whole thing would grow a little bit more interesting when a mission was mentioned. Well, that was Desirée for you. The girl was very diligent and famous among many people in this land. Surely she was always receiving tons of job requests to go on from all kinds of employers with all kinds of rewards. Charlotte, on the other hand, never received any and always had to take ones from the job board in their guild. But that really was the best for her. Still far too shy and weak to go anywhere by herself, this contract in itself was beginning to be a nightmare before the witch even entered the other world to start searching for what she was meant to find. But for now, she was at least distracted by the giant ship in the skies. Just as Des figured, the white-haired maiden was indeed interested in it. And when a tour was mentioned, her eyes would begin to sparkle. “
W..would you really give me a tour? It would be an honor!” But it seemed the time of pleasantries had come to a pass. Her friend would let go and break the hug as she suddenly started jumping up and down. It was soon revealed why as well, for they had the same goal and destination. Not caring how convenient this was, Charlotte was just glad that she wouldn’t have to go to the other dimension by her lonesome. Having someone like Des by her side was the best that could have happened.
But the tacker was still something she did not prepare for in the slightest. The sudden swirl of transportation magic disoriented the young White Witch completely and before she even knew what was going on, they were bouncing on some sort of jelly surface. But for some reason, there was also a very soft sensation. One very similar to the one present when the two girls were hugging. Slowly opening her eyes, Charlotte would quickly notice Des who managed to land on top of her body and was not getting up to apologize. It left the White Witch speechless and motionless for a moment, but she was blushing just as much as her friend, if not more. In fact, she had this strange need to look aside as her lips opened on their own, words escaping her before she could even think about them. “
No… it felt really good, so don’t apologize, please…” Shaking her head and her entire body, she tried to follow her companion’s example and gain some footing. But the jelly surface of the gummy bear was not exactly made for a situation like this and all the more for someone as clumsy as Charlotte. The girl started flailing her arms in the air as she desperately tried to find some sense of balance. But it was all to no avail. Hoping to at least catch Des’ hand and stabilize, she would stumble forward.
But lo and behold, it didn’t go according to plan at all. The surface below her feet was like waves on the raging seas, one moment having the girl be high in the air and the other low. And just as she gained elevation above Desirée, her body would just fall forward and crash into her best friends'. Though, as the universe would have it, the fall didn’t come without something extra. First hitting their foreheads, Char managed to fall in such a way where her lips were planted right onto Desirée’s. The sweet kiss only lasted a fraction of a second before she slipped further down and then to the side, but that single moment somehow felt like an eternity to the White Witch. At least until she found herself free-falling into a bed of whipped cream. Something that saved her from breaking anything, but now her entire body was covered in the white substance as she crawled her way out of there with heavy breaths. “
T..this world is dangerous! It is… Des?! Are you alright, Des?!” Frantically looking around, she searched for her friend, not sure if she fell as well or if she somehow managed to stay up on the gummy bear. In any case, she really hoped that nothing happened to the girl even as they crashed into one another. The situation was not improving even with a company it seemed. Was this something that Seth planned all along as well?!
