Altair: Did you seriously have to invite a business partner to my birthday dinner? I mean, couldn’t this have waited?

Valerian: Altair, mind your manners. Sirius needs to be here today.

Altair: Why exactly?

Valerian: Nevermind that for right now. We’ll discuss more once dinner has arrived. 

It was exciting, having a secret friendship.

There is an amazing spot just behind the manor, right next to the creek that we watch the sunset at. It’s full of wildflowers and tall trees and when the sun goes down the light turns the shadows the loveliest shades of purple and pink.

Soon enough Fox was stopping by almost every day. 

Foxglove: You’re right. That was a lot of fun.

Altair: Wait until you see it with bubbles in it!

Foxglove: Altair, don’t

Altair: Too late, already in.

Foxglove: You’re kind of a troublemaker aren’t you?

Altair: Does that make you not want to see me anymore?

Foxglove: I didn’t say that.
