"They are great," said Auguste with a little nod. He could have possibly told her that Colin was technically sort of his boyfriend as well, but it was too much to try and explain to a six year old, so he refrained, instead offering her a bright smile. "You should, it'll make him smile if you do."
He reached out and gently took her hand, Auguste turning it so that he could see her tiny nails better. "Very pretty," he declared, before letting go again, tossing Amelie a smile over his shoulder, eyes sliding back to Giulia once more. Pasha was entirely at ease, gamboling along in pleasure.
"That sounds lovely," he added. "I've never played laser tag before, what's that? Is it fun? Do you shoot each other with lasers?"

The idea of being able to make Mr. Colin smile by telling him that she was a huge friend (read: fan girl) of Auguste made Giulia smile and give a little giggle, blonde curls bouncing as her head nodded up and down frantically. "I will tell him!" she promised excitedly. "I can tell him twice, and if it will really make him smile a lot I can tell him every day. Mr. Colin has a nice smile. He told me all about sprungy floors." Well, maybe not all about, but Giulia was 6. Sometimes exaggerations happened. His appreciation of her pretty nails and the compliment that he offered made her cheeks glow with happiness. "I picked the rainbows myself, they look like the happy flags and the rainbows in the sky; rainbows are really important and sometimes they may have gold." She bent her hand to pat Pasha clumsily on the head, considering. "Laser tag you get little vests with shaky thingies, and you aim fake guns at the shakey thingies and it turns your gun off for a little bit and you get points for shooting the most people and turning their guns off for a while. And everything is dark and glowey so wear dark clothes to blend in better."

Being with Giulia was...refreshing, though that wasn't quite the word that Auguste would have used. Sweet? That was true, but again, not quite right. He didn't know what he would have said was the right word, but whatever it was, it helped to ease some of his heart.
"Yes," said Auguste softly. "Yes, he does have a very nice smile."
Thinking of Colin made his heart ache a little. Auguste shook his head, pushing the thoughts aside and looked down at Giulia and Pasha again. At the head pats, Pasha promptly pushed her nose into Giulia's palm and licked her fingers enthusiastically.
"That sounds like fun," said Auguste, blinking in surprise. "I've never played it before, I think I would like it. Do you like it?"

Humming a silly little tune, the six year old swung her hand and Auguste's with it, the rainbow fingers drumming along his larger hand as she giggled and made kissy noises at Pasha. "You have a very nice smile too, Auguste." Giulia tilted her head up to look at him and beamed, baring her slightly-crooked baby teeth. She hadn't started losing them yet, but soon.... soon she would be robbing the tooth fairy, just like her classmates. "Laser tag is okay. I'm not very good at it. It gets a bit hard to see everything and I get distracted by the glowy things so I don't win." Giulia couldn't stop her little pout. "But I dance better than Aidan because I can do spins so that is okay I guess." she tilted her head, considering. "If we do a laser tag, you'll be on my team, right? We'll beat all of them."

The compliment about his smile made his heart warm. Auguste gave Giulia's hand an affectionate squeeze, feeling the pressure in his chest growing, so that it ached just a little more than before. He didn't want to think about that, or about anything else that he was considering.
Just this, for now. Just a simple day, with Giulia, and with Pasha.
Just this for now.
"I would love to be on your team," said Auguste proudly. "You and I will totally beat Aidan, right? We can both do it together, you'll be my partner and I'll be yours, that's how it works, right? We can look out for each other."

Giulia giggled, nodded her head. "We totally will. If I have Auguste on my team, I can't lose!" the older person squeezed her hand, and Giulia stared happily up into his handsome face. Someone to look out for her! That would make them a GREAT team! "What other tricks does Pasha know?" the blonde asked, turning her attention back to the puppy. "Pretty, perfect Pasha~" the snowy fluffball, most lovely and puppy-like. "Does Pasha know how to fetch, or play tug?"

He wished that things could be different.
He wished he could bottle Giulia's happiness and take it with him in a jar, so that he could remember it on the days that he could not find the light again. It was so...simple. So simple and pure, a child's delight at something small and seemingly insignificant, and yet it was making Auguste's fingers tremble ever so slightly in Giulia's small grasp.
"I'll never let you down, right?" he said, flashing a smile down at her, and then he laughed at the question.
"Here, I'll show you."
Auguste gently tugged the leash from Giulia's fingers, stopping to pull it just enough that Pasha glanced over at him, her tail wagging. A sharp whistle had her trotting over and sitting down, looking up at him expectantly. Another whistle, of a different tone and a different cadence, had her up on her hand legs, wobbling a little, before Auguste gestured her down again. A third whistle, still different from the last, made Pasha lay down.
The whistles turned into a mixture of little snaps of his fingers, small sounds, and the occasional word as Auguste spun Pasha in a circle at "Dance!"

I'll never let you down, right? Giulia's eyes were (metaphoorically) starry as she stared at the white-haired young man. Too bad Auguste was not a Prince- she might have broken up with her future Seal Prince husband for Auguste. His smile really was the most beautiful thing and he was so pretty. Her fingers gave up the leash easily to his confident tug. Pasha stopped. Giulia stared at her attentively. Then Auguste whistled, and Pasha did tricks! GIULIA WAS GOING TO DIE.Pasha was the most perfect. Pasha was the most wonderful. Pasha was the smartest. And Pasha could dance. Giulia's little shriek was loud. Her dive into Pasha and her kiss attack was, well.....

Amelie glanced down at her phone as it vibrated in hand, sighing. "I am sorry to burst in, but Giulia and I need to leave a bit early. Something has come up, and we need to go collect her brother. Say your goodbyes, Giulia.""Goodbye Auguste. Goodbye Pasha, the bestest of dogs." Giulia hugged them both, then hurried over to grip her nanny's hand. In short order, the little girl was swept away. kuropeco Trying to get a formal FIN in due to RPs getting closed across the board! Thanks for the RP- let me know if you ever want to open another.
