[Closed] Girl, Put Your Records On, Tell Me Your Favorite Song
Who: Lance, Princess Allura, Rainer Michelle, Romelle, and Keith
Where: Cherrygrove City Spa
When: Sometime in early February
Summary: A few friends mourn a loss through self-care
Rating: PG to PG-13 (thanks, Lance), will warn as necessary
Hearing that Jaskier had been sent home was… quite a blow among the Voltrons. He’d been a good friend to all of them, especially to Shiro, and of course poor Geralt and Kiri were left behind… And honestly, Allura was starting to miss her friends back at the house, at least in person. Shiro and Pidge and Sasha chose to sit this out, but Allura decided to invite a few of her friends who knew Jaskier to do something in his memory, and Lance came up with the idea of a mini-spa retreat in Cherrygrove City. Mud baths, massages with hot stones and scrubs and aromatherapy, hair and nail salons, the works. And thanks to working part-time jobs almost the whole time she’s been here, especially in Violet City, Allura actually has quite a bit saved up to chip in for the small group to stay a full weekend. So kick back, chat over manicures and herb-infused drinks, and enjoy.

Oh, you know. He's nice to look at. Wouldn't you agree?
[Romelle knew that, back home, at her point in time, Allura was with Lance. But Lance was with Pidge here in this world, and she'd definitely noticed the cute moments happening between Allura and Keith very recently. Ever since the two of them had been on the road with just each other, there had definitely been some bonding going on in Romelle's on mind.]
no subject
[Now all they need is some arm cradling--AHEM!
It really is a shame that the clay mask is covering most of Allura's blush.]
I-I suppose so...
[She's not jealous, and she's totally agreeing to an objective statement. That's all. Really.]
no subject
Granted, he's not exactly like Lance, either. They're both pretty in their own ways. Similar, and then different.
[Come ooooon... Romelle was trying here.]
no subject
Like Lance? [Now she's really confused.] You do realize he's married. Why are you interested in Lance's looks? Or Keith's?
[Look, back at her time point, Lance had only started realizing his feelings were something more, certainly hadn't told anybody, and meanwhile Allura had thought he'd moved on completely and settled into being a good friend.]
no subject
[Romelle frowned a bit.]
But, you can't tell me that you're not even the teensiest bit interested, right?
no subject
In Lance--? [Wait, no, that can't be right.] Romelle, what are you getting at? You're speaking in circles.
no subject
Not so much Lance... at least, not here. When I'm from back home, the two of you are dating, but he's with Pidge here, and you're from earlier than that. But, I was talking more about you noticing Keith.
[There... she was hoping not to be so forthright about it, but her hints were clearly not working.]
no subject
[If Romelle hadn't leapt right into the part about Keith, Allura probably would've stared at her for a few seconds before bursting into a laugh. Her? And Lance? They're best friends, he'd stopped flirting with her altogether!
Buuuut instead the part about Keith makes her eyebrows shoot up and BOY is her skin feeling hot under her mask, is that an allergy? Totally an allergy.]
Me?! [MY that was a few optics higher than it should've been.] That's... don't be ridiculous, I haven't--!
[Apparently Allura's vying to be princess of a river in Poké-Egypt as well...]
no subject
Mmmmmmmmm?
[Oh, she didn't believe that overreaction one bit.]
Come on. I've caught you looking~.
no subject
[Qqqqqqqqqquiznak.]
Fine. Fine. Possibly I have a small infatuation that won't go away. Happy?
no subject
There's nothing wrong with that. And even I've noticed that he's nice to admire.
[She settled back a bit in the chair.]
Besides, I think he's noticed you, too.
no subject
[She was halfway through a noise of protest that there it is NOT that simple and why is Romelle ogling Keith when--]
... I... has he?
[No, really, has he? N-not that she cares or anything, but... really?]
no subject
[Romelle leaned a little over so she could get closer to Allura.]
He's more attentive to you here than what I saw of him back home. Aaaand, a little nervous sometimes. There's definitely more of a, what is that word... 'vibe'. The Earthlings use that one a lot to describe a feeling they can't quite identify.
no subject
That's... not very specific. [She looks away, a bit disappointed.] Keith is shyer than he appears; I'm honestly surprised he agreed to come to the spa. And of course he'd be more attentive; we've been traveling together for a phoeb and a half now, and we're not in the middle of a war.
no subject
[Romelle shrugged.]
He does seems to smile more around you, and I rarely see that particular type smile on his face around anyone else.
[Just putting that out there... a special smile just for Allura... from someone who tended not to smile a lot... hmmm]
no subject
[Oh... that...]
Really? You think so?
no subject
Honestly, I think it's sweet that he's got a cute little smile just for you.
1/2
[Well... give her a few moments of blushing and grinning to process that. Huh... Maybe...]
2/2
[But then the smile becomes clearer and more... mischievous?]
And yourself?
no subject
What? She blinked.]
Me? What about me?
no subject
Well, you have been here a bit longer than I have... is there anyone here who's caught your eye?
no subject
[She did blush a little, but not because she was thinking of anyone.]
no subject
[That gets a chuckle out of the princess, but thankfully it's quick to soften.]
It's fine if you haven't. I was merely curious.
[... Okay, make that "curious, nosy, and maybe looking for a little light revenge."]
no subject
It wasn't something we thought of much on the colony. It had sort of become a luxury, in a way.
no subject
[Ah. Allura's face goes stony under the clay mask, and she's silent for a few seconds.]
Remind me to let you punch Lotor first if we ever see him again. That "luxury" should have been yours by right.
