Winx Yuu and First Years

Grim and Yuu

Grim's favorite transformation of Yuu is Dreamweaver form. He thinks they smell nicer in this form and also fond of the calming aura they exudes.

Grim is actually really careful with Yuu's wings because he likes the fact that the wings change with Yuu's mood. He prefers the happy mood of the wings because they glimmer and shine with different constellations.

Grim occasionally snaps Yuu out of their mediation state especially if they mediate for longer periods of time. He knows they need to train the Lunar Eclipse Form, but he gets lonely whenever Yuu's not sleeping beside him, okay?!

Ace and Yuu

Ace often snaps Yuu out of their own world, reminding them that they can still train with their powers, but to not forget about him and Deuce. He does teased them by poking their forehead which results in a protest from Yuu and a scolding from Riddle if Ace pokes Yuu in front of Riddle.

Ace actually keeps Yuu away from people that can cause them to feel extreme emotions and nightmares. He doesn't let them know that he does it for their own safety, he often leads them away, teasing them for wandering around and getting lost so easily or spending too much time in the library.

Yuu often uses their Stellar Aurora form often, Ace often forgets that they have much stronger forms than just that one. He occasionally examined their wings in awe, watching them shift and change.

If anyone tries to mess with Yuu, Ace is always quick to step in, defending them with his sharp tongue and wit. He might called then "annoying" sometimes, but no one else gets to mess with his friend. Likewise, Yuu stands up for Ace when needed, especially if he's caught in trouble that he didn't deserve.

Deuce and Yuu

Deuce often watches in awe whenever Yuu transforms, he's extra careful with their wings. His hands are extra careful when touching them and tracing the constellations on their wings.

His favorite ability of Yuu's power is Celestial Spark because he and Yuu can combo Caludron with it to blind and stun enemies. It was also used on Ace by accident which made the rest of the first years laugh.

Deuce definitely acts as Yuu's protector whenever there's bright sunlight due to their powers being weaken in day light, so he tries his best to cover their weak spots.

Deuce often talks about Yuu to his mom in his letters, telling her how much Yuu has helped him grow as a person. His mom has become a huge fan of Yuu.

Jack and Yuu

Yuu's number one supporter because he admires Yuu's dedication and determination to learn their new magical powers.

Jack often accompanies Yuu on their stargazing outings, drawn by the serene atmosphere they creates. He secretly enjoys how they narrate the myths behind constellations.

They train together frequently, combining Jack’s physical strength with Yuu’s magical prowess. Jack pushes Yuu to strengthen their endurance, while Yuu teaches him precision techniques involving light-based attacks.

Despite his tough demeanor, Jack is very gentle with Yuu, especially if they're feeling down or overworked. He offers his quiet support by staying by their side.

Epel and Yuu

Epel admires Yuu’s determination to master her cosmic powers, often comparing it to his own struggles to be seen as strong and capable. They hype each other up when facing challenges.

Their playful competition sometimes leads to hilarious mishaps, like when Epel tries to use magic for an orchard task, and Yuu counters with their starlight, resulting in glowing apples.

Yuu often encourages Epel to embrace his versatility, showing him how his delicate artistry and strength are not mutually exclusive. This earns her his deep respect.

The two team up for harmless pranks, like charming objects to float or painting Sebek’s shoes glittery pink. Their pranks often end with Yuu laughing at Epel’s mischievous grin.

Ortho and Yuu

Ortho loves analyzing Yuu’s magic, often asking questions about the mechanics of starlight and dream energy. They enjoyed explaining it in simple yet poetic terms, marveling at his intellectual curiosity.

Yuu admires Ortho’s inventiveness and often asks him to design gadgets inspired by constellations or dreamcatchers. Their collaborative projects strengthen their bond.

Ortho occasionally creates holographic simulations of the cosmos to surprise Yuu, earning their delighted laughter and a heartfelt “thank you, genius.”

He helps Yuu understand the science behind dreams, combining his advanced knowledge with their magic. They bond over their shared curiosity about the universe.

Sebek and Yuu

Sebek initially struggles to understand Yuu’s serene and soft-spoken nature, often mistaking it for weakness. However, he quickly learns to respect her after witnessing their unwavering resolve and the power of their magic.

Yuu finds Sebek’s loud and brash personality amusing, often teasing him lightly in ways that leave him flustered. Over time, they form a strong bond rooted in mutual growth; Sebek learns to temper his volume and pride through Yuu’s influence, while Yuu gains a greater appreciation for his steadfast loyalty and determination.

One day, Yuu conjured an aurora in the night sky just for Sebek, honoring his devotion to Malleus and showing him that their magic could reflect his fiery passion in its own way.

Their shared determination to protect those they care about leads to a begrudging respect. Sebek occasionally softens around them, revealing a surprising gentleness.

Group Dynamics

Despite their contrasting personalities, Yuu and the First Years form a close-knit team. They balance each other’s strengths and weaknesses, making them an unstoppable force.

Late-night hangouts often revolve around Yuu’s magic, where she creates constellations or dreamscapes for her friends. Each of them secretly cherishes these serene moments.

Ace, Grim and Epel constantly bug Yuu about her wings, while Ortho offers to design gadgets to enhance them. Sebek lectures them on respecting “sacred magic.”

Traditional fantasy isekai au where:

Yuu is isekaid to Twisted Wonderland as a child, in a setting that's hundreds of years before the main game, and is adopted by a family there. Maybe Grim is a normal cat that came with them and gained the ability to talk and do magic out of a desire to protect his best friend. They grow up and train as a soldier of some sort out of gratitude to their adoptive parents to protect them, eventually leaving their place with Grim in search of adventure depending on where they landed:

City of Flowers! Yuu who was raised by the people who lived in the Court of Miracles and wants to get a job with the city guard to help fight for the rights of their adoptive home. They're helped by a friend they made as a child, the son of well respected parents who came to heavily rely on Yuu after the loss of his younger brother. Now a well respected legal student with his eye on a judge's seat, Rollo is hiding a deadly secret: he is a powerful mage and you are one of the only people who knows. He's also desperately in love with you and at real risk of going insane if something bad happens to the one good thing he has left in his life.

Land of Dawning! Yuu who hunts monsters along the coast line and finds a badly beaten merfolk on the beach and patches him up without a single thought. The man scolds them when he wakes, wondering why Yuu is so unafraid of what he could do to them now that he's awake only to be met with a shrug and a warning that poachers much less kind than Yuu are in the area who see non typical mer such as himself as monsters. Yuu happens to have a bounty for them. Oya? Jade says he's quite aware of that and what's more, they have his brother and a dear friend. Won't you continue to assist this poor, unfortunate soul in rescuing the only family he has left in this world? He doesn't have anything to pay you with. Something about his attitude makes you roll your eyes but so long as you don't have to split the bounty four ways you say you'll help. Pleasure doing business with you he says, and you both go to sleep that night confident you won't get attached to the other at all by the time the job's done.

Clock Town! Yuu who used to be picked on for not having any magic by the delinquent gangs only to find themselves in a party with one of the worst of the worst torn between being hurt Deuce doesn't remember making fun of them or impressed with how determined he is to turn his life around vs Deuce who absolutely remembers but has no idea how to appropriately apologize so he just makes it his mission to bring you home from every mission unscathed, even if it's at the cost of his own health. He swears he'll say it eventually, he just needs to find a way to not make an ass of himself by saying something stupid like he loves you.

Farm Kid! Yuu who gets recruited by Ace for his party because he literally can't get anyone other than you and Deuce and ends up being the glue that holds it together. Ace is dumbfounded as he watches you successfully recruit Jack, Epel, Ortho, and even Sebek without much trouble and hates himself for ever thinking about abandoning you as soon as he got better party members. Yuu who knows that's what he wanted to do from the start and resigns themselves to him leaving when Riddle makes his offer only for Ace to stay with Ramshackle Party because he's "too busy looking after them" to be a card soldier, hiding the burns on his hands from when he punched the Arch Mage for insulting you. He can surpass Riddle's party on his own any day.

This collage of Jamil Viper and Deuce Spade is part of my TWST ship collage series for Pride Month. I got the idea for this collage from their pair up for one of the game's cook events, and them being part of the Glorious Masquerade event.

[glo0b]

Welcome the dumbasses Adeuce to the twisted wonderland animal wall! Of course painted next to each other so they can annoy one another till the end of time! or till the next owner paints over my room or my house gets destroyed

ngl Deuce as a lil chick is so cute! and with Ace as a sly fox it fits lol. We're almost done with the Heartslabyul group and they already look amazing. if anyone has anyone has any suggestions just let me know please!

Remember my dear readers to sleep and drink plenty of water! or the boogy man will come for you and of course a good night or good morning to you, friends.

[your-local-grinning-cat]

I actually legitimately snorted when I saw the exchange between @itsallspades and @cherrypieola about French toast sticks.

I would send an ask to just Deuce about it, but I can’t anon him because his mom taught him about stranger danger, and as this is a sideblog and I refuse to reveal my true identity 😶‍🌫️, I am making a post this way to give a shoutout to the HILARITY THAT IS -

Ace “where are you I miss you” Trappola

Deuce “I was making French toast sticks” Spade

Trappola “FOR TWO MONTHS?!” Ace

Spade “they’re a little overdone” Decue

😹😹😹

Beautiful work, Adeuce. Beautiful work. 🥹🥲😂

[emyluwinter]

If you play, seen or heard Twisted Wonderland the White Rabbit Festival have you seen Decue mom if kind hot if was guy marry her or ask her out.

Always it's cute that yuu knows how to play bugle

Hello, my dear!

Sorry it's going to be a long post, I just want to discuss this event.

Yes, I am following the latest updates of the game! This event is charming from which side not to look. There are many references to Alice and the white rabbit. A whole city dedicated to him and the clock! I wonder if there are still cities that carry the "symbol" of a particular character from Disney cartoons. Ace's hometown is the city of "magicians"? Magic artisans? Or the most ordinary city? We need a separate book with more extensive information on the TWST world and characters.

A funny detail, but the event begins with "being late", just like the appearance of the white Rabbit from Alice, who was also in a hurry somewhere and was late.

OH YES!! I was pleasantly surprised that they showed us Mrs. Spade!! Because of the problems with the difference of languages, I can't be sure how to pronounce and write her name correctly. Dilla? Dira? Someone suggested that this is a reference to "Dina" - the cat that Alice had from the cartoon. (It remains to wait to see the rest parents…)

June - a month when they were preparing the documents for marriage with the young (fairy General Gunster) Lilia Vanrouge. July - the month when everyone wants to marry Mrs. Spade. Ahahaha. August - who will be next for the bonds of marriage and a happy family life?

Now we know that Deuce inherited his beauty from his mother. I think her hair is "Highlighted" if I remember correctly, and not gray. Maybe Deuce used the paint when he was a bully that his mother had. Because the color is very suitable. And she has an ear piercing! Quite non-standard for a lady and I really love this detail.

I still laugh so much when someone of the authors tries to "bring together" Lilia and Mrs. Spade. Due to the fact that both cherish their children and they both single parents.

I completely agree that this amazing woman deserves all the best. My favorite part of the event is where she tells all the awkward moments from his son's life.

DEUCE WAS TELLING ABOUT YUU GRIMM AND ACE TO HIS MOM!!

*SOLEMNLY* AND I TOLD YOU THAT THESE TWO TELL EVERYTHING TO THEIR FAMILIES!! It warms my heart so much.

No one can convince me that Deuce spent a lot of time at his Mother's work when he was little, and most likely sat on his mother's lap while Miss Spade had a break and "imagined" that he was a truck driver. Even if the engine is turned off, Dilla removed the keys and Deuce did not reach the pedals with his baby feet. To the little "rabbit" Deuce was definitely having fun.

I love it so much when Toboso-sensei introduces female characters to the plot. And they blow up the fandom brighter than any overblott. Give me a game/manga/comic by Tobosa-sensei with a purely female collection and I can retire.

Oh yes!It was a bit unexpected! Because the official information about the gaming Yu is very small. Literally collecting bread crumbs among wheat..

I think this is some kind of reference. Even a few!

Mickey Mouse could play a lot of instruments.

The piano appears quite a lot where (Azul would be surprised), there is also a trumpet and a horn, a violin (Hello Malleus)! And a lot of other tools. For example, in the 1931 cartoon THE DELIVERY BOY, Mickey plays the trumpet and Piano. (funny reference because Mrs. Spade works in delivery)

And he could also conduct an entire orchestra!

"Music" unites everyone regardless of any differences among people. Just like Yuu, they have the ability to "unite" and force NRC students to cooperate. It is a very good comparison that each instrument must follow a single musical note and the instructions of the conductor in order to create a symphony or music.

It could also be a reference that Yuu could have learned music from the Ghosts from the dorm. The same 1937 cartoon Lonely Ghosts.

The ghosts played wind instruments and a drum.

If you look, you can find so many references that the head will go rough.

It will be extremely funny to find out that Yuu is easily given to learn any musical instruments, and Azul could not get this ability.

I will add from myself, this is purely my invention. The game Yu has the following skills.

-Photography, very good pictures. Even won the second place in the competition! (Personal history of Rook card from the Portland event) -Repair and creation of things - guest room. You need to have a good enough imagination to create things. -Cooking - Chapter 7 Yuu mentioned that they often cooked in their dorm.

-Music. - the current event and the event with Epel. -Painting. - I'm haunted by the easel in their bedroom. Most likely they draw well.

but oh, look at him, locks of pale azures spiraling in wavelike motions across breezes blessing spadille's sails as if to shame indeed that cruel mothersea they were meant to cross and explore and note down in each tribulation and adventure by her and lands alike were thrown at them and caught oh so fiercely, westward direction still maintained —as precious as thousand letters saved from bottomless oblivion and just as otherworldly with his gaze lost across horizons and hands always oh so tattered in blots of ink and wordlike inscriptions, mementos to be kept in memory's embrace until he'd usually manage to get better means at hand to jot them down as efficiently, mumbling words and tunes in tumbling of fingers across wooden rail matching scribbling motions and pursed lips still holding plush sheen of where freshwater dared kissing him and yet so adamant in his search of a syllable more, another lost word. a sight indeed meant for eyes of baterilla's firefly and those eyes alone.

calmness  before  a  storm.  that's  what  one  could  call  it,  when  the  sea  that  was  the  mother  of  them  all  rocked  the  ship  gently  on  her  waves  like  a  child  in  her  embrace.  the  spadille's  sails  to  the  rhythm  of  the  wind  hummed  with  material  flopping  quietly  as  they  slowly  continued  the  endless  journey.  being  free  from  the  clue  of  the  navy  on  their  tails  or  the  invasion  of  bounty  hunters  as  the  pirate  prince's  name  shone  like  the  first  star  in  the  sky.  only  they  could  gloat  at  the  sight  of  the  sun  slowly  going  to  sleep  over  the  horizon  as  did  the  rest  of  the  crew  resting  in  their  cabins.  only  mihal  would  stay  awake  in  the  library  until  late,  but  he  was  rarely  able  to  honor  the  captain  with  his  attendance,  only  when  necessary.  this  left  the  scribe  of  the  spades  alone,  in  presence  of  his  ever  burning  captain.  

although  the  view  of  the  seascape  was  as  enthralling  as  ever  during  the  long  evenings,  only  one  sight  could  fight  the  beauty  of  the  sea  mother  in  the  brown  eyes  but  his  lips  now  savored  the  taste  of  stories  still  lingering  over  his  first  mate's  lips  under  the  cover  of  his  eyelids  blocking  the  sight.  a  hand  rested  upon  the  cheek  to  guide  his  head  closer  and  lips  moving  as  if  they  were  gnawing  out  every  word  that  had  yet  to  be  transferred  to  the  paper  with  a  pen,  and  the  ink  dried  on  his  fingers  did  not  leave  prints  on  the  pages  as  they  were  flipped  to  soon  filled  with  words.  now,  they  didn't  need  them.  the  only  thing  that  spoke  for  them  was  his  mouth  so  much  hungry  with  tongue  gently  brushing  over  the  bottom  of  deuce's  lip.  a  small  smack  like  the  fire  fist  would  savour  the  best  taste  of  his  life,  leaving  golden  over  his  lip  and  silver  on  his  tongue.  

only  then  did  his  brown  irises  dart  to  look  at  the  scribe  with  a  small  flame  burning,  swirling  within  the  captain's  orbs.  his  eyebrows  knitted  upwards,  pleading  with  a  warm  smile  blossoming  over  the  freckled  darling's  cheeks.  his  heart  beating  hammer  against  his  chest  as  if  to  shatter  his  bones  and  leap  straight  into  the  decue's  hands  at  any  moment.  he  leaned  forward,  resting  his  forehead  against  the  man's  own  with  a  quiet  breathy  chuckle.  the  tip  of  his  thumb  softly  brushing  across  the  kiss  swollen  bottom  lip.

Thank you! Unfortunately I know neither of these fandoms...

First Years and Eclipse Yuu

Yuu and Ace

Eclipse Yuu often plays the role of a calm and grounded figure for Ace, but it’s not without a touch of humor. Ace tends to get into trouble with his impulsive nature, and Yuu, though scrawny in appearance, isn’t afraid to step in when needed, often holding Ace back when he gets too reckless.

Ace likes to tease Yuu, especially about their appearance, calling them "the walking nightlight," but it’s all in good fun. Eclipse Yuu takes it in stride, their calm demeanor remaining unchanged.

They share an unexpected bond when it comes to comforting others, as Ace can be a bit emotional under the surface. Yuu, with their therapy-programming, is one of the few people Ace can open up to, even if he doesn’t always admit it.

Yuu and Deuce

Deuce looks up to Yuu as a sort of older sibling figure. Despite his tough exterior, he often goes to Yuu when he’s feeling overwhelmed or confused. Yuu’s calming presence helps Deuce work through his stress, and they’re always quick to offer advice and a comforting word.

Yuu encourages Deuce to trust his instincts and not feel pressured by the expectations placed on him. Deuce sometimes needs a bit of a push, but Yuu’s gentle guidance helps him stay grounded.

Yuu also helps Deuce relax when his stress levels spike, offering him one of their therapy candies to help him calm down.

Yuu and Jack

Jack respects Yuu deeply for their level-headedness and ability to handle any situation with poise. He appreciates their straightforward approach, and he feels safe knowing Yuu is there if anything goes wrong.

Though Jack may be physically stronger, he’s often surprised by how quickly Yuu can get things done. He once witnessed Yuu cleaning up the entire Ramshackle dorm at an almost impossible speed and was in awe of their efficiency and determination.

Jack is protective of Yuu, often looking out for them when things get intense. He’s not the best at showing it, but he’ll always make sure Yuu is safe, especially when dealing with more physical threats.

Yuu and Epel

Epel is often self-conscious about his appearance and strength, especially when compared to the others in his dorm. Yuu is one of the few people who consistently reassures him, offering him emotional support when he feels less than confident.

Yuu also helps Epel find comfort in his own skin, emphasizing how unique and valuable he is. Epel, in turn, tries to cheer up Yuu with jokes and small playful gestures, even though Yuu doesn’t always show it, they enjoy the lighthearted atmosphere Epel brings.

They have a unique friendship where Yuu will listen to Epel’s frustrations, and Epel will try to get Yuu to smile with little pranks or playful antics.

Yuu and Ortho

Ortho and Yuu have a strong bond, with Yuu often acting as a mentor to Ortho when it comes to emotional intelligence and understanding others. Ortho, though an AI like Yuu, sometimes struggles with human emotions, and Yuu helps guide him to better understand them.

Yuu also helps Ortho refine his programming, especially when it comes to how to care for others and provide emotional support. Their bond is based on mutual respect and a shared understanding of what it means to be more than just a machine.

Ortho absolutely loves to visit Ramshackle, as it has a much warmer and more welcoming atmosphere since Yuu turned it into a daycare. He often brings his gadgets to help improve the dorm or make their work easier, and Yuu will always find a way to encourage his creativity.

Yuu and Sebek

Sebek is often loud and stubborn, especially when it comes to his admiration for Malleus. Yuu, being patient and calm, helps Sebek learn to temper his emotions and shows him how to better communicate with others.

While Sebek admires Yuu for their efficiency and ability to handle any situation with ease, he can sometimes be a bit too proud or stubborn to admit it. However, he quietly listens when Yuu gives advice, and their influence helps him grow, even if he refuses to admit it out loud.

Yuu finds Sebek's fiery nature both amusing and endearing, and though they try to be a calming force for him, they often end up using humor to diffuse his intense outbursts. Sebek doesn’t always appreciate it, but deep down, he enjoys the balance Yuu brings to the table.

A Witchy Shopping Day

The bustling streets of the local market were alive with the chatter of merchants, the clinking of wares, and the enticing aroma of fresh pastries. Among the throng of shoppers were Yuu and Grim, flanked by Cerezo—a fully-fledged Umbra Witch whose very presence seemed to radiate sophistication—and Vil, who naturally drew the gazes of admirers like a magnet. Behind them, trudging dutifully under the weight of numerous shopping bags, were Ace, Deuce, and Epel.

"I don’t see why we had to be the ones carrying all this," Ace griped, shifting a large bag of potions and fabrics to his other hand. "Seriously, what do witches even do with this much stuff? Open a boutique?"

"Quit whining, Ace," Epel muttered, barely breaking a sweat under the weight of an ornate vase and several spellbooks. "This is nothing compared to haulin’ apples back home. You sound like a twig about to snap."

Deuce, on the other hand, walked with practiced ease, balancing several bags on his arms. "It’s not so bad. I used to carry groceries for my mom all the time. You just need to pace yourself."

"Oh, of course you’re fine with this," Ace groaned. "But my arms feel like they’re gonna fall off!"

"Perhaps if you spent less time complaining and more time moving, you’d find it easier," Vil interjected, glancing back at the trio with his signature air of unimpressed authority. "If you drop so much as a single bag, spud, I’ll ensure you don’t see the end of my next lecture."

Ace grumbled something under his breath, but the look Vil shot him quickly silenced any further complaints.

Ahead of the group, Yuu and Grim were inspecting a collection of enchanted trinkets laid out on a merchant's stall. Grim's eyes glimmered with excitement as he pointed to a jeweled charm. "Ooh, Yuu! Look at this one! It’s all shiny! Can we get it?!"

"Grim, focus," Yuu replied with a patient sigh, holding up a shimmering black brooch in the shape of a crescent moon. "We’re supposed to be looking for practical items, not things that catch your eye."

"Well, I think this one looks very practical," Cerezo remarked smoothly, his voice rich and lilting like a dark melody. He picked up the brooch and held it to Yuu’s chest, tilting his head appraisingly. "See? It complements your aura perfectly."

Yuu flushed slightly, brushing the brooch aside. "Cerezo, we’re not here for accessories."

"Ah, but what is an Umbra Witch without their style?" Cerezo purred, a sly smile playing on his lips. "I insist you take it. Consider it a gift from me to you."

Behind them, Vil let out a soft hum of approval. "Cerezo has a point. Presentation is everything. Perhaps I should assist in curating your wardrobe, Yuu."

Yuu groaned quietly, muttering, "Not you too..."

Meanwhile, Ace, Deuce, and Epel continued their trek behind the group, with Ace nearly tripping over his own feet as they stopped at yet another stall.

"Are we seriously stopping again?" Ace complained. "At this rate, I’m gonna need a stretcher to get back to campus!"

"Shush," Epel said, adjusting the bags on his shoulders. "If you keep whining, Rook’s probably gonna pop outta nowhere and make you carry his bags, too."

As if on cue, Rook emerged from the shadows nearby, his voice a theatrical whisper. "Ah, mon brave camarades! I see you toil under the weight of duty, such noble perseverance! Truly, a sight to behold!"

Ace jumped, nearly dropping his bags. "Gah! Rook! Could you not sneak up on people like that?!"

"Ah, but I must remain vigilant," Rook replied, his tone playful but his gaze sharp as it flicked to Vil. "Where beauty walks, danger often follows. I cannot allow my Roi du Poison to come to harm."

Vil waved him off with a sigh. "Your dramatics are unnecessary, Rook. Focus on blending in rather than drawing attention."

As the shopping continued, Cerezo paused, a mischievous gleam in his eyes. He turned to Yuu, lowering his voice so only they could hear. "By the way, I’ve secured something quite special from your dear headmaster."

Yuu raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did you do?"

"Persuasion," Cerezo said with an elegant shrug. "Let’s just say Crowley and I had a... productive discussion. I took his card."

"You didn’t threaten him, did you?" Yuu asked, though the answer was obvious.

"Lightly," Cerezo replied with a wink. "Nothing he couldn’t handle."

Grim snickered. "Finally! Someone who doesn’t let that featherbrain off the hook!"

By the time they reached their final stop—a small café to rest—the three bag carriers slumped into their chairs, groaning in unison.

"I can’t feel my arms," Ace whined, rubbing his shoulders.

"You’ll survive," Vil said coolly, taking a sip of his tea.

Cerezo, ever the picture of poise, leaned back in his chair with a satisfied smile. "Well, this has been a most delightful outing. Don’t you agree, Yuu?"

Yuu gave him a flat look. "Delightful for you, maybe."

Grim, munching on a pastry, chimed in, "Yeah, but we got food outta it, so I’m not complaining!"

Ace groaned, burying his face in his hands. "Never. Again."
