Stahlbaum’s Riki wandered through the supermarket aisles with an unreadable expression while quietly stealing snacks off the shelves and dropping them into the cart as if it was part of the plan from the beginning. A few steps behind him, Letheris’ Asa noticed immediately and pulled one of the items back out with a soft scoff. “You said you wouldn’t buy unnecessary things today.” Riki glanced over without a hint of guilt. “That was before I saw the discount section.” Asa could only shake her head before fixing the crooked items inside the cart again, mumbling complaints under her breath while still following Riki around the store anyway. Between the effortless teasing, silent understanding, and the way Asa kept reminding Riki not to disappear too far, the two naturally carried the kind of closeness people could notice without needing an explanation.
