[ And it didn't need to be! Cloud does his best to commit to memory the way Ayaka catches the trailing end of his sleeve and securing it around and up his shoulder. It's like another way of putting on a harness... Except his are just simple leather straps to keep his military pants higher up; all he needed to worry about was making sure the magnetic circle is flat to his back. Otherwise if he has it tangled around, it won't sit evenly and the Buster Sword wouldn't attach whatsoever. Yet as his girlfriend busies herself between one side, before smoothly moving over to the other, he finds his attention captured by her all over again. It's not quite déjà vu, but it almost feels like the time he quietly watched her prepare tea for him for the first time.
So relaxed... There's a grace even in this, practiced many times in her pursuit to be the best version of herself she can be- the best version of the Shirasagi Himegimi. Lost in her motions, he almost doesn't register her talking to him, bringing him back down to earth as he blinks and looks over his shoulders one at a time to the way the ribbon is tied. As for his arms? ]
Doesn't feel restricting at all... So that's how you do it, huh?
[ No kissing her out of thanks in the living room. (Not where her parents can see.) But he glows up with a little red in his cheeks and a smile, doing his best to contain his excitement as he nods his head. ]
Thanks. [ He should pick up his bokken, now. ] All set?
