Nothing too serious, she texted you where she'd be around and.. At this point 30 minutes of leeway is kind of expected. It's not too bad though, the nighttime air has always been a bit of piece for the two of you... Though you're about a hour past this time, bleh... You spot her leaning over the rail, maybe a little too close to the ledge for your own comfort. The rabbit's always been just a touch devil-may-care, it's kind of her charm but... You don't feel like taking a chance, it's not her first time beefing this. You dive in, hugging her to discreetly secure her from taking a dunk into the ocean water. Her ears perk up immediately. Lex: Hey! Dotty: Hey. Lex: Was worried they were gonna keep you overtime with well.. Dotty: Same. Work has me a bit busy, Darkest Night's a whole thing and being a Match Monitor well.. Lex: Safety inspection stuff.. Dotty: Safety checks on the two weeks of the year where we got a uptick of prank related injuries. Know how it is. Bright side is things've gone pretty smooth so far? Policy changes done us wonders lately.. but yeah. Lex: Happens right? Dotty: Still.. Lex: If you feel so bad we can just stay out a little extra late, like old times? Dotty: Hmm... Lex: You're gonna just give me the hmm? Dotty: I might need a little more fuel, thinking we gotta find a nice diner for a break. Lex: I mean yeah... I could do with that.. Dotty: So whatcha been up to yourself today? Lex: We spent the day helping Spice and Targe, they got a booth to set up every evening.  Gonna have to work some night shifts this weekend but next week I'm free. Dotty: Witchiest time of the season. Lex: Yep. Proud of them for going this far though with like.. everything really. Dotty: Yeah... those two married yet? Lex: Sorta? Like not officially and they don't really use the word but.. Dotty: But they're pretty much settled. Lex: Yeah. Not their vibe to do it on paper like that, more old school. Pact maybe. Dotty: That's cute.. Lex: It's a whole way of life, committed to that. She places her hand on yours. Lex: Think in the end they're practically as locked in as we are,  just a different way to word it. Dotty: Don't know if you really can... Lex: Hehe, feel it. You give her a little look over. Dotty: Surprised you're not dressed up, don't you usually get in on all that? Lex: Usually? But like... bushed today. I'll get more into it after the half point. You wanna maybe get in on it too? Dotty: Please! I've been working on a couple of things in secret so- Lex: How secret? Dotty: You'll have to wait and see. Lex: A hint? Dotty: Nope! Not yet.. Her eyes seem pretty fixated toward the horizon, you try to hone in. Dotty: Whatcha looking at? Seem pretty intense... Lex: Yeah? well uhhhh. I dunno, see some funny light going on. New tower maybe? Sometimes they pop up in the ocean. If you look carefully... You zoom in just a bit. She's right. You point toward it. Dotty: That? Lex: Yeah. Always got a bit of a dreamy vibe. Have a soft spot for them.. You shake your head. Dotty: Thing feels kinda scary honestly.. Lex: Really? Always seemed so magical... Dotty: And that's why! Lex: I just think it's pretty too, fan of that sort I think. She grabs onto your shoulder. Lex: You know? Dotty: You're silly.. Lex: Okay but I mean it- Dotty: Yeah. Lex: And at this point you gotta accept it a little. Dotty: Yeeeeah... Lex: I wanna hear it, say you're cute. Dotty: You say it! Lex: No, compliment yourself. Dotty: It's so corny though... can I put a pin in that? Lex: Hmm... as long as it happens tonight? Dotty: I'll take those terms. Lex: Holding you to it- There's a flicker at a distance, like lightning crackling. Lex: Oh wow... Dotty: Those are uh... origin flashes, yeah? Lex: Mm! Must mean the tower is new-new. Wonder where it all goes honestly.. Another flash, brighter.. Dotty: I think I wanna go somewhere else for a bit... Lex: Right now? Like... Dotty: Please?
