Zarc chuckled, he respected the lovely lady before him, and would understand if she disagreed with something he said but he was glad she wasn't going to do that in this scenario— because Zarc would for sure confidently say that they were both awesome and cool people as individuals. He found himself really lucky they were together too. "Awh, well, you say that but I heard that little star-pop~ Thaaaat was defs cute~" Zarc added with a playful wink.

Following River's cheeky cooing, Zarc simply smirked, leaving things at that for now. He was glad she also enjoyed this place just as much as he did. The dapper man nodded in agreement— he wouldn't mind returning here to try out the rest of the options and perhaps a lot more too! Zarc trilled softly to provide some extra comforts for River before speaking up again. "Oh you can show me whenever you'd like dear. I'd love to see what you're so proud of~" Apparently even the plants liked his group's music... Well, he had heard stranger things! "I wonder if they have a very specific favorite, heh~"

Confident that River would make the right decision on her terms, Zarc let her make the call about her hood. As it turned out, she opted to leave it down, more than happy to let the stars shine, as she put it. Zarc was positively beyond glad that River could confidently make a decision for herself. As for what he had planned for later, Zarc winked once more.

"Silversilk, yes, I know that material." Zarc smiled to Cinnamon. "I think you did very well with it." He added. Zarc knew for a fact that his father would be proud of this work with this fabric in particular. "You have a lovely day too ma'am~!" Zarc waved to Cinnamon as he left with River. He smiled, it was always fun to have Ridley over as well, like he said. "Hoohoo~ Yes, yes, please do-hoo~" Zarc chirped, returning a finger gun. "You bet."

Enjoying the ride along the water was easy, River herself was honestly the best at her job at this point; at least in Zarc's opinion. "Hey, we always get better as we practice." When Ridley wiggled between them, Zarc simply chuckled, River had this handily sorted before the pup could make a mess of things. Zarc simply smiled and waved as Ridley was sent on his way. That critter was a good dog, best friend, awesome boat. "Hm? Why be sorry? He's a good pupper." Zarc said confidently. Having been around them about as much as River has, he also knew a thing or two. Nodding, Zarc continued to have a good look around before entering the house. "What can I say? I know well thought out craft and care when I see it~" Zarc chirped again, eager to please. "Mhm, you're gonna have more of those to enjoy for sure~" He added and blew a kiss River's way.

Thankful that River listened to his recounting of events— just as she promised, Zarc simply cuddled closer to her as needed while she spoke in return. Her concerns were of course legitimate, but he was right there with her, and for the most part as he said, everything went as best as it possibly could have as far as he knew. For her sake, Zarc gently nuzzled her nose with his own before giving her a little kiss on the forehead. "I'm glad that I'm okay too, because I'm here now with you~ But ayy, proud of me~? Ripley you charmer~" He cooed gently, his mood was just innately more positive around her it seemed. Zarc didn't need long, and River could easily get up, and Zarc could too. "Ooh? Hiding some skill are we~? Hmm~" Zarc had a good dorky laugh, actually realizing that he was quite surprised when River pointed that out. "Heheheh, yeah, seems like it huh?" He sighed, positive and content with that. "Yanno, something tells me that'll be important. Being full of surprises, I mean.." He couldn't explain why, but the feeling was written all over his expression... Was it an odd sort of confidence, perhaps?

Zarc let River go as she pleased to go and retrieve that which she desired; and she returned dressed casually for the occasion now!"Niiice." He clicked his tongue and did a double finger gun gesture to her. Zarc patiently waited for River to explain what she went to get, and as she continued, his smile grew wider until he was beaming! Her attention to detail, remembering the old flowers she used, everything about it just made Zarc feel more at home than he already did. She remembered this, this was her craft, for him. Zarc began tearing up slightly too, but he quickly sorted himself out. Gently taking the flower crown Zarc put it snugly on his head before taking River's hands into his own again. "I love it." He intended to put a preservation charm on it later, just like he did to the first one that was in fact framed in his room nowadays. "Remind me to give Juju some upgrades too, yeah? Hmhm~" Zarc chuckled softly... Soon enough, the two would dance the day away, and Zarc loved every second of it.

"Well, I firmly believe we both fit the criteria of the cutiest patootiest cutie patootie." Zarc hummed in response to a familiar beat; River's own 'tra-laa-laa' tune that she often sang herself. He followed along with River's joyous giggles with little laugh-chirps of his own.

Zarc let out an enamored sigh after River scurried off once again. Resting his elbows on the table and his chin in his hands, Zarc idly summoned up a small shadow string to twirl the two straws that remained in their now finished smoothie glass to pass the time. Eventually, his eyes began to wander before spotting his glasses; enchanted with all manner of gifts, entrusted to him by two people that made a lasting impact in his life. One was there since the beginning and had raised him to be the man he is today, the other came into his life one day and gave him the strength to never lose who he is in the future; no matter the hardship. It was a shame neither of them could see how happy he was right now, but Zarc had faith that they somehow knew.

Instead of frowning or becoming sad in any way, Zarc's smile grew. They would've been proud of him, he was absolutely certain of this fact.

Upon River's return, Zarc noticed she tried her best to reel herself in, but he found himself chuckling a little anyway. "Oh, only the goofiest~" When she leaned in, his ears wiggled a little. "You quite like that brand of danger then, hm~hoo~?" He quipped, adding a little bit of a owl hoot as a counter to her flirtatious purring. Zarc let her simmer down as she deemed appropriate; aiming to keep up his part of the agreement as best as he could, and things ended up going swimmingly. Eventually the Valentian Echo was over and done with, the follow up was quite interesting; the Super Spicy. Zarc really had a good time with the after effect it was known for... Even more surprisingly, is that it linked with the previously consumed pizza pie! Whenever Zarc or River decided to expel harmless fire shapes, the shapes ended up 'singing' to some degree, curling around each other making various melodies. Zarc rapidly tweeted with delight over this discovery after they had finished the last of the Super Spicy. "Wonderful, wonderful~! We absolutely must come back here, no doubt about it~!" He whistled in agreement. "I wonder what other ones go together like these~?"

Now, the two could relax for a little while. Zarc welcomed River when she rested her head on his chest, and he held an arm around her. He couldn't resist resting his chin on her head either. Glancing down, he eventually noticed River was close to dozing off. "Awh. Am I that comfy~? Hehehe~" Letting her sit back up, Zarc nodded. "As you say, my stellar lady~ Half it is." In his mind it was only fair that he provided some support in payment for their little outing. "I'd like to see what you've done with the place since last I was there. How is your garden doing?" He asked after he put his jacket back on, quickly assisting River in setting the tablecloth back to how it should be.

Then, Zarc noticed River hesitate with her cloak. Seeing her look so uncertain was a clear cause for concern. Without hesitating, Zarc stepped right over to River; gently holding her hands before she tried to pull her hood up. "Ripley, w-wait a second. I'm here. Its okay." Zarc murmured softly, offering a reassuring smile. "You don't have to pull the hood up if you don't want to. Everything-- right here and now-- is up to you. Hood down or hood up, you're still a wonderful starlight gal. Nothing-- absolutely nothing, could ever hope to change that." After a gentle squeeze, he let go of her hands. It was as Zarc said; entirely up to her, and he would support her regardless.

With their arms now linked Zarc stood closer to River, acting as a physical pillar of support as well. "Hmm~" Zarc pursed his lips and held a finger up to them in thought. A few seconds later he smirked. "Too late, I've already got ideas for something you might like~" He cooed back. Arriving back to the front desk, Zarc was pleasantly surprised with River's confidence persisting right now. So, he allowed her to speak to her soul's content. "Ain't that the truth." Zarc chuckled following up with his own part of the payment for their meal. "Now, before we go... Miss Cinnamon, is it? Might you be able to tell me what material was that tablecloth in there made of? I think I've seen it once before.. It is rare, I recall that much." Pending answers, Zarc waited patiently until information was relayed. After which, he would give Cinnamon a light bow before heading out with River. Glancing over his shoulder, Zarc returned the short wave but in his case accompanied by a wider practically gleaming smile of gratitude.

"Hm? Ohoo, I bet he was." Zarc nodded, Ridley was always such a nice little dog-boat critter; blessed with various elemental resistance enchantments, courtesy of Zarc's own father. "It was always a fun time when you brought him along to sleepovers. Goodness, did my sisters near enough lose their minds every time~ Hooho~" Taking River's hand, Zarc gracefully glided onto the boat. The winged gentleman simply enjoyed the scenic boat ride. Catching River's glance, he followed along to the tune, adding another one in at the same time to create a harmony between them. "All you need is love~ Woo~oah, all you need is love~, looo~ve, love is all you need~" Reaching the familiar mists that concealed this area, Zarc continued humming along to the tune he created, only stopping when River spoke to him. Zarc chirped, once again taking River's hand to disembark from the boat. With a free hand, he also pat the boat on the head. "Good work, pup." Skipping over to River's side, Zarc gave her a peck on the cheek. "As for you, t'was smooth sailing."

Zarc looked up at River's house and let out a content sigh. "I've said it countless times, this place is cute-- it fits you. Plus; anywhere is the right place with you. Mansion, cabin, hehoo, box fort even. Can we do that? Make a box fort? Do you have any spare boxes? Hoohoo~" As per River's guidance, Zarc followed along. He chose not to draw attention to what River saw as an embarrassment. It was just her sleep wear, no big deal in his opinion. Nodding as River scurried off, Zarc looked around, rather impressed. "I like what you've done here." He said, gesturing to the audio setup as he leaned over the back of the couch towards River after she took her seat. Rolling over the back of the couch, Zarc now stood on the proper side just as River stood up reaching for his hands. "Mmhm, I think you'll get some more exclusive song recordings now~"

"Can we just.. Take a moment here? Sit over here and cuddle?" He asked motioning to the couch. "If you want, I can tell you what happened the other day-- get that whole ordeal off my chest." Letting go of her hands, Zarc sat down, with open arms so that she could snuggle up to him if she so desired. "You can vent too if you need to... Then we can dance away any other small worries without a care? How does that sound?"

That being said, if River wished to know of his experience in the mines at the current moment, Zarc would oblige. Holding her in his arms, he began recounting his point of view all the way back to when Snowdin's snow started to melt, to the warnings he hurriedly gave to River to watch herself (at which point he once again expressed utmost gratitude for the lollipop she gave at the time) and Maddison to be alert around the junkyard, then finally the last showdown deep in the mines. The entire scenario was a dreadful mess, and he spared much of the more gory details for sake of her sanity. He clearly relayed how he felt throughout the the encounter with Flowey as well as what he found out about said dastardly foliage and the dust-hoovering freak genie Aristide. Not once did Zarc give up, he persevered. Because of that, something changed. The 'nothingness' he often described as breathing down his neck or assaulting the back of his mind when his extrasensory ability went haywire as a reaction to the sins of less than noble Monsters... It stopped. He could hear that nothingness clearly as if it was freed from a mental block of his own making. A weight was lifted from his shoulders; he understood something within himself a whole lot better now, yet still he couldn't quite put a finger on it. However, he surmised it had to do with how his magic had now evolved.

Falling silent, Zarc held River closer. Not so much for his sake, but hers just in case she felt regret, sadness or worry of any kind. Running a hand through her hair, Zarc held his forehead against hers. "So... Um. Yeah. Lets just sit here for a little while longer, okay? I-I'll admit I haven't exactly thought of any dances to teach yet eheh..."

After about half an hour of resting, Zarc spoke up again. "Right. I think I've got it." He would only move from their shared seat if River had enough time to process everything. Zarc didn't mind waiting more. As soon as she was fully without a doubt ready however, he took her by the hand, summoning up strings of darkness to swiftly and elegantly set up a few songs. "Think you can manage, Starling~?" An energetic pink crackle of magic flickered from Zarc's eyes, very unlike the usual scarlet. It swirled around and danced like a little bolt lightning as it made the outline of a heart. Zarc looked a bit stunned at that. His Soul made a little pulse after which he gave River a big toothy grin. "Heh... Look at that~ New magic. All because of you."

"True, I cannot fault that logic~" Zarc snorted after gesturing to himself in a goofy manner, clearly mocking those people out there that were high strung. Dropping that silliness, he let out a soft sigh. "That being said, I'll have to keep my wits about with you~!" Jovially he waggled a finger and booped River on the nose. "I suppose that is what happens when I've got a cutie patootie as a dance student~"

The unabashed feisty attitude coming from River caused Zarc to raise an eyebrow in curiosity as he brewed up a thoughtful expression. He thought of something to counter with initially, but decided against it since River seemed to be enjoying her confident stride as of late; so Zarc was going to nurture this aspect of her so that she could carry herself without fear or uncertainty in the future. "Ohoo~, very kind of you~"

Of course, there were some things even Zarc could not resist in his own displays of affection. While he would be lying if he didn't expect River to up and freeze after he got a bit too cheeky for his own good, what truly came as a surprise was her counter. After stifling one of her trademark giggle fits, she swung back around to face Zarc whilst still sitting in his lap. With a casual smirk, he nodded. "I suppose it does make things easier..." Allowing her to plant a kiss on his cheeks, his smirk curled around the edges becoming all the more bold. 'Hmhm, lots of things. Oh, I can imagine~' By the time River sat up properly, it was as if nothing in Zarc's expression really changed.

Following the support she had given to hold the next slice of pizza pie and her comical wink, Zarc twirled a shadowy hand to life to sub in and hold the slice for the time being. "Ooh? Just how guilty are you, hm~?" He inquired, his smile broadening. "You're not alone though~" As he continued speaking, Zarc gently held his hands on River's waist, following and caressing her curves to her hips, waiting a moment before letting go. "As it seems I have acquired a taste for a special kind of sweet myself~" Zarc near enough purred, but given his owlish mannerisms, it sounded more like a series of trills tweets and clicks.

"D'oh, come on now; would it not be better if I sorted myself out..." Zarc casually moved some of his hair out of his face before continuing. "Thereby simply being at my best~?" He flashed a smile that had a bit of a sparkle as River traced an index finger along his jawline. The debonair devil was soon lost in River's eyes. Zarc had known River for quite a while; and he had always felt a sense of safety in her presence, as if she could ward off danger somehow. Now, he knew she had the gift of an oracle, but he was certain that this ran deeper.

Appreciative of the fact that River allowed herself to at least entertain the idea of a break from what she saw as her duty, Zarc gave her a nod. "You know it. I'm already thinking of some fun ones to dance to~" He cooed. Noting her reaction to the sway and use of his magic, Zarc innocently raised his eyebrows and lifted his hands slightly from where they were at the time. "If I'm being real, I... Didn't actually know I could use it like this until recently? Like, you've seen my theatrics and all... Compared to this? This is different somehow." The mysterious shadow threads once again swirled around River's hand before receding into eventual nothingness given the task at hand was completed; all of the food the two were meaning to deal with first had been sorted out nicely. "I dunno how to explain it--" Zarc chuckled, running a free hand through his hair. "-- but I'm curious for sure. I want to see where it can go."

Fluttering his wings slightly, Zarc also took a bite of the pizza pie slice the two were holding-- and goodness gracious did it taste amazing! Zarc warbled a little bit as per his more owl-like mannerisms out of joy, and soon enough the slice would end up finished. Now for a second time Zarc and River's faces would be close again. "Ohhoo, hello there~" Zarc chirped, gently holding onto River's hand now that the pizza pie slice was gone with a mischievous little smirk on his face. "Trying to trick me into dessert again, are you? Cheeky~"

"It is only fair. You got me first, after all." Zarc said with a hint of mystery as to what exactly he meant by that. He smirked a little and glanced off to the side for a second before the two were to properly share the rest of the drink they had ordered. River's gentle hum and love-struck look was responded to in kind with Zarc's own, a mirror image of sorts. It was almost as if his eyes hid little dynamically animated heart shapes if one was to look close enough-- and River was certainly in a position to do so.

Seeing River had something in mind, Zarc allowed her to momentarily take his jacket, he even assisted by bending a few shadows around to make it easier. With an eyebrow raised, he was quite eager to see what this was all about; and it was well worth the short wait. River really could work the look that Zarc had with that jacket just as much as he himself could, and he would be lying if he didn't think that a hooded cloak was something he could also pull off. "Mm~? The old switcheroo, I see? Now that does look quite fetching on you, if I may be so bold to say~?"

It would seem Zarc's preparing of the Valentian Echo had not gone unnoticed. He didn't actually plan for the tunes to come out per se, but with his ear for music, he quickly found out a way for it to work. "Hoohoohoo~ t'was just a little bit of luck and a pinch of skill." He cooed, finishing off the drink himself moments after. Unfortunately the pizza pie wasn't actually big enough for the entire song to be played out with it, at least not without cutting it into paper thin strips. Soon enough, the job would be done, and it was ready for the duo to dig in! "You do have the vinyls of that album at your place, right? Maybe we could cut loose on the dance floor later today, sound good to you?" He asked while setting up the plates with portions of the pizza pie with his umbral magics.

"I mean, hey; only the loveliest of names could fit you." Zarc smiled, with a casual wink to accompany it at her short giggle. "Ooh~?" He raised both brows in a somewhat coy fashion. "Well, don't spoil the surprise, I'd say. Although, a moment with you- however short it may be- is already worth it."

When she decided to be cheeky about their shared seating plan, especially when she held a finger under his chin, he responded with a coy hoot and flutter of his own lashes. It was nothing short of liberating to actually finally be like this with her.

Moments later, the next part of their order had arrived, awesome! "These are lovely, thank you so much~!" Zarc's wings flapped slightly in appreciation. The time that it had taken certainly made sense, both of the pizza pies looked absolutely gorgeous.

The Super Spicy looked both sufficiently super and spicy; t'would be a rather plain looking thing to the untrained eye, but it was so much more. There was an illusion that gave the idea that it had little crackles of lava within, but it was in fact simply a special sauce that had a unique property that allowed it to pulsate with an orange hue while it was exposed to heat. The Valentian Echo on the other hand was comprised of cooler colours; namely the greens and blues of its namesake; the Echo flower. This pizza pie also had a unique property; it made humming noises in response to noises and spoken word around it-- rather than properly echoing like its main ingredient would. "Hehehe, well look at that. A pie we could sing a duet with. Lets start with that one after we finish off the drink and the last of the garlic bread, how does that sound?"

The internal shrieking continued as River made it fairly obvious that she had caught exactly what that was. Within his mindscape, Zarc panicked, grabbing and clawing at his internal thought-form in this pit of endless shadows. That strange chuckling in the background continued and it only served to make the poor guy flip out even more. "Is this you getting back at me for pulling that stunt in the mines? It is, isn't it!?" Zarc snapped defiantly as he turned to look further into his psyche, only to be met with a reassuring feeling... That laughter wasn't mocking him because his slip up was funny.

It was supportive. Whatever the secondary entity that inhabited Zarc was, in this instance it refused to 'help' him. Making one thing clear.

---

When River looked to Zarc's eyes, they slowly opened after being shut in panic; giving her quite the debonair and bold look, playfully accepting the fact she booped his nose with her own. "Well, I don't suppose you've got a mirror on hand for you to look at and find out so... Stare into my eyes." Zarc spoke confidently with a hint of mischief as he slowly pulled his glasses down his nose before taking them off. "Who do you see?"

Gently, Zarc pressed his forehead to River's, simply taking in the moment as it was; he with her and her with him. Them, together. Zarc's Soul whistled in a manner it never had before, calling to River's, longing for a harmony that only the two of them could bring to the world.

Then, without any more of a moment to waste, Zarc hugged her closer and kissed her with a liveliness that could only be rivaled by one other thing and nothing else; her own passion in response to his.
