Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aodh had his phone on his leg, looking down at it while he was sitting at the table. He frowned at the lack of response, the typing that happened and no response.

"Everything alright?" Rich was smiling at him and Aodh gave him a smile back. One of those ones that did not reach his eyes.

"I guess ..." Aodh glanced back down to his phone, finger swyping along the screen.

"Did you pick out what you wanted? My treat." There was that smile from Rich again but this time Aodh did not return it.

"I told you I'm paying for part of it."

Aodhan actually blushed at the idea of Jaro in the bath and really, it was not the time to be thinking about that. At least it apparently coincided with Rich attempting to flirt with him.

"Finally!" he crowed. "There's that blush!"

"What?" Aodh looked over at him and blinked. "No, no. It's not because ..." He trailed off and went silent.

Rich just stared at him.

"Just what has your attention?" Rich was getting annoyed that Aodh was not focused on him. The blonde looked up and gave him a small apologetic smile.

Except that before he was able to speak, Rich was already reaching to swipe his phone again.

Jaro did not get a response. The stickers were viewed and there was brief sign of typing, but that was it.

It was because Rich had gotten a hold of Aodh's phone again.

"Dragon?" he asked, eyes narrowing at the stickers. Rich had been certain that Aodh was not dating anyone. Even if he was working for that sleazy scrapyard idiot.

"Give me my phone back," Aodh's voice was quiet, his hand held out. He was not going to make the mistake of trying to grab it like he did the previous time.

"I have every right to know who it is," Rich went on, ignoring Aodh. "Especially since you've been more interested in talking to him instead of paying attention to your date." He ended up scrolling and his eyes narrowed when he finally saw the name.

There was no response until likely after Jaro's bath.
