I change my shirt and put my coat back around my waist, as I walk out of my room. I start scanning the rooms for Selina or Naomi since I hadn't seen them all day. I come across one staircase that leads down to the workshop and I walk down to take a look and see the finished product. I look around the main workshop then the storage area for the girls, neither of them were there but I did see some materials laid out so I inspect them closely. One is an amethyst and the other is some type of metal, I pick it up and feel its weight, I think of an idea and pull the chair up to sit in.
As I'm analyzing the metal, I sketch my idea on blueprints and work on it. I draw out the model and think of multiple different designs, all of which are a little different from the others. I dig through the storage area for similar metal and once I find enough of it, I pick up two more amethysts, then once I think about it for a while, I pick up one more and quickly head back to the workshop with all of the materials in my hands. But I stop working on them as I try to think the idea out completely and finish the sketch plans. I figure that they should be small enough for everyday wear or use, so I will make them into rings and use them as wedding rings for whenever they regain their memories...
I start by shaping the metal in the proper shapes and adding the amethyst where it will absorb their magical powers and use it to boost the objects. I finish the first forms and work on adding their secondary everyday wear form, but some of them have troubles with the amethyst. I'm not a ring designer, so I had to spend time sketching up designs, I set them all to basic rings with a yellow amethyst as the center piece while I worked. But midway through my sketch of the second to last one, I hear footsteps start to shoot down the metal stairs to the workshop. I take the rings and put them all in my coat pocket as a work in progress idea.
I stand and quickly hide my design blueprints, I take my excess resources and walk into the storage room and put them all randomly into bins, I also make a mental note to organize that storage area soon, but before I could even start walking back, I turn and see Selina catching her breath against the door. She looks up at me and runs up just as fast as she was before despite being tired, and lunges onto me. I sigh and sit up from the ground "I'm alive, I know, If you missed me you can just say it." I look at her and as she catches her breath more, I see tears stream down her face.
I smile warmly and wipe them from her cheek, she smiles back and hugs me and quietly speaks "I missed you Leon, I didn't know if you were gonna even remember us, or... or..." I hesitate for a moment but then hug Selina back just as tight as she's hugging me "I wouldn't forget any of you, your like my family." Selina lets go and looks at me smiling "Family? But we still don't even remember you. And what about your promise?" I look at her and laugh, then I wave it off "Forget about forgotten memories, I can't keep myself back anymore, if you all have permanently lost your memories, then your free to leave, but if you feel even the slightly bit of those feelings for me, you can stay."
I look at Selina who smiles and leans in and kisses me "I may not remember how I met you, but I can tell now, that your truly my savior and my lover." I hesitate for a moment and try to stay calm but Selina gasps then giggles "Your blushing a lot Leon, does that mean you like me too?" I sigh and look away to hide my blushing "Well, I just didn't expect my first real kiss since you all lost your memories to be so sudden or romantic." Selina blushes too and I stand and help her to her feet "A-anyway, what are you doing down here Leon?" I feel the rings in my pocket and think for a moment, then I look up at Selina but she's gone. I look quickly around the storage area but once I can't find her, I sit down at the desk in the workshop and continue thinking of ring designs.
I sigh and lay my head down on the table, I can't seem to come up with cool designs that they would like. As I was laying there, I feel something press against my back, I didnt don't know what it was, but once I felt a poking feeling in the middle, I turned my head and saw Selina "Wh-what are you doing? Why is your chest against my back?" Selina blushes and I stand up but before I can move away Selina hugs me and I stop "I-I just wanted to do this, I-I know you d-don't like this type of stuff, but can you let me have this one moment?" I pull her hands off of me and turn around, then I hug her and let her hug me back "Is this good enough for you? I want you to be happy too, so maybe you can do this every once in a while."
Selina looks up brightly at me and smiles "Really? Can I also-" I look down at her and answer before she finishes her question "No. That isn't until marriage, I don't want you all to keep thinking that love and relationships are all about those things." I let go of her and sigh as she steps back and smiles "Well, then I'd like to go on a date with you, so we can both enjoy our day together." I think for a moment and Selina looks at me waiting for me to speak "Can you help me with something Selina? Its gonna be a secret between the two of us, so you can't tell the others." Selina thinks for a moment then smiles and nods "Ok, I will help you. What will we be doing though?"
After I explain the situation and Selina looks at the rings and their more useful forms, she brims with happiness and practically jumps up and down "I'd love to help you! Which one is mine?" I grab one ring and hold it up "This one is the one for you, I didn't know what ring model to use so I made this one." The ring has an amethyst core with the special metal curled tightly around her finger, after I adjust its tightness and some minor it fit well and Selina admired it as I kept working on the designs for the other rings.
Selina watches over my shoulder and points at one design for Violet's ring "I like that one, Who is it for?" I pick up the design and grab the corresponding ring "This one is for Violet, and that one is for Naomi." I point at the other ring, the last ring is in my pocket because I don't know if I want to use that one too yet "I think they will love their designs, so what do you need me for?" I smile and stand and change Selina's ring into the useful form, she smiles "I need your help testing this, and you can learn how to use it while I work with you. It can use your magical power to boost it so its power is as much as you can give."
After a few minutes of testing, I hear the faint sound of running and I quickly gather all the rings on the table and turn to look at Selina "Someone is coming, change it into your ring." Selina looks at me and she changes the ring back "All done!" I sit down and I lean onto the desk as Selina sits on the desk "I think it might be Naomi, she missed you just as much as I did." I sigh and look up at her "Is she gonna try to do what you did?" Selina laughs awkwardly as she responds "P-probably not, but she will hug you and you wouldn't be able to outrun her." I look puzzled at her and sit up "She might hug you and you could suffocate in her chest." I roll my eyes and Selina laughs, as Naomi pops up at the bottom of the staircase.
I turn the chair and look at her "Hey Naomi, I am still alive so you don't have to worry or anything." Naomi catches her breath as Selina hops off the table "Yup, and he remembers everything." Naomi finishes catching her breath and looks at us quickly "Nelly is being held by assassins who want to see you..."
