Lloyd couldn't keep himself from smiling a bit as well. He scratched under Lio's chin, humming softly while he did so.
Cinderella AU // OxO // Closed
Ellis laughed as Lio licked at Lloyd's fingers, that fluffy little tail wagging a mile a minute.
Lloyd rubbed the puppy's ears, his smile lingering. He enjoyed this; just being able to quietly spend time with someone else. Just to enjoy someone else's company.
Ellis was still smiling, petting Korou and Lio at the same time.
Kouru didn't seem to concerned about much of anything, just content to sleep for now. "This is nice…" Lloyd murmured.
Ellis looked up at him, and nodded. "Yeah. It is." he agreed with a soft smile.
Lloyd yawned a bit and leaned up against the cot, gently pulling Lio into his lap.
Ellis shifted a little bit, looking over at Lloyd for a bit.
Lloyd eventually closed his eyes and relaxed, just idly petting Lio.
Ellis kept petting Korou, smiling softly.
Lloyd's wings started drooping after a while as he relaxed further, drifting ever closer to sleep.
Ellis smiled again as he watched the prince.
Lio curled up in Lloyd's lap and fell asleep himself, seeming content.
Ellis kept petting Korou, starting to get drowsy.
After a couple minutes, Lloyd starting making a soft, chirpy, purring like noise in his sleep. His wings flirted a couple times and then he settled.
Ellis blinked at the sounds, smiling softly and closing his eyes again.
The purring grew softer as Lloyd fell into a deeper sleep, leaning up against the cot.
He smiled, starting to fall asleep as well.
(Time skip?)
(sure)
Lloyd was still asleep when Ellis awoke, though he was stirring a bit. He was still making the soft purring noise.
Ellis looked over, smiling a little when he heard that purr.
Lloyd stirred a bit more and soon opened his eyes. He sat up and yawned, rubbing at his eyes with one hand and running the fingers of the other through his ruffled hair. "Mmm… how long've I been out…?" He asked drowsily.
Ellis looked over, and shrugged. "I don't know. I just woke up." he replied.
Lloyd nodded, running his fingers through his blonde hair until it was sufficiently smooth. "Sorry… I don't normally just doze off like that." He laughed weakly. "Didn't get much sleep last night."
"It's fine, Lloyd." he replied with a soft smile, stretching a little.
Lloyd fidgeted with his wings a bit. "Hopefully I haven't been asleep too long… I know I'm supposed to attend a meeting around seven with Anton and my father to address wedding things…"
He blinked, then shrugged. "I…have no idea." he replied.
Lloyd checked his watch and sighed softly. "Alright… I've got fifteen minutes, so I should be fine."
He nodded. "Alright. Are you going to leave Lio here when you leave, or…?"
