Chapter Text
"Oh you pitiable and wayward soul!"
"Oh no." Joshua held his cards close to his chest.
L'Arachel pointed at him. "Come now and see the miracles of the beautiful princess of peerless beauty and repent!"
"I'm in the middle of a game." He said. "Wait your turn, beautiful princess."
"It's beautiful princess of peerless beauty." She corrects. "If you're feeling extra polite, however, feel free to embellish."
"Oh beautiful princess of peerless beauty-!" He makes nonsensical gestures with a free hand before plucking a card to play daintily. "-and so favored by Lady Luck-" He grins when the corners of her mouth upturn into a smug smile. "-I beg of you to please give me some of it so I can win this."
"Ugh, I should have known better." He can't help but notice she's unable to force down her grin. "I will be praying for your downfall, Joshua. It's for your own good."
"Hey, wait, that's-"
"Look at that!" Someone tossed out an impossible to beat pair.
Joshua whipped around and glared at her. "You holy witch!"
"Do not call me a witch!" She pressed a hand to her chest.
They squabble until Joshua is kicked from the table.
