"Yeesh," Alastair began.
"Mm?" Rachael looked up in confusion.
"Heh, nothing, it's just..." Alastair reached his hand across the counter, petting Rachael's head.
"You're kind of cute sometimes!" He grinned.
Rachael suddenly began choking.
"R-Rachael, hey...!" Alastair cried out, quickly jumping up from the booth and running over to her.
As he patted her back, she coughed.
"Man, sorry I said anything..." Alastair grumbled.
"You aren't one to give sudden compliments, you know..." Rachael mumbled.

"I guess not, huh?" He said with a laugh.
"Right, well," Alastair began, standing up.
"Hurry and finish so we can go do our job at the arena," he instructed.
"Mm..." Rachael mumbled, plopping the last piece of crepe in

"I'm sorry, however-" Before the help desk employee could continue, however, Alastair slammed his fist down yet again. "What room?!" He shrieked tearfully. "R-room 246...!" The employee yelped.
