You find him with Charlotte, with Lotte resting her head casually on Aroth's lap, and Char reading a book like she always. Table is getting really excited behind you, since she indirectly helped them become a thing...maybe. You're not actually sure if they're together, but come on, who would use someone as a lap pillow without being a couple, that's ridiculous.
"Hey Aroth, how did your duel go?" You ask, opting to sit on the grass since there's not that much place left on the bench.
"He did well!" Lotte answers for him. "I didn't though... It's like they know I can't perform very well when they take one of me down, very annoying..."
"I'm, uh, sure you'll get better. Don't worry about it," Aroth reassures her. "What about you, Atlas?"
You smile. "I won! Wasn't easy, but I did!"
They all look surprised at this. "How?" Char asks, looking up from her book for once.
"I'm not telling you my secrets, might end up against one of you, after all."
"Well, that's-"
"Who caaaares!" Table butts in. "What I wanna know, is what you three- err, two? Are doing so close to each other. Are you a thing? Are you? I wanna know!"
They all look at her, surprised both by the question and you assume by the fact they forgot she ever met. "Err, we...aren't?" Aroth answers uncertainly. "I-I mean, it's not that weird because it's only one half of her, right? So, err..."
Lotte nods. "Yes, it's not weird. Speaking of not weird, scratch my neck again!"
"I-Isn't it weird with other people around?"
"My nails are all nibbled on, yours are better. Besides, it's not weird, totally normal, do it!"
"So... I meant to ask, what's the limit to what's considered 'weird' if you only do it with one of you?" Table asks. "Like... surely there's a point where it becomes intimate, right?"
Aroth whispers something you can barely hear. "W-Well, Lotte said that it's not weird to-"
Char almost shoves her book in Aroth's face to interrupt him. "Aroth, can you help me with this? You're rather good at life magic, are you not?"
You're not sure what's going on between the two of them, but maybe jumping to conclusions isn't the best thing to do. You've only learned recently that breasts aren't inherently sexual to most races after all, so who knows what's truly considered intimate with the other's culture.
"Anyway, we're mostly done with studying, so we, uh, could always hang out, if you want," Aroth proposes.
That sounds like a good idea, but what should you do?
