Your glasses are all ready!

[Evangeline, smiling brightly, places a pair of simple-looking glasses in Rider's hands.]

Just so you aren't worried, in the event that it doesn't work for some reason, there's a potion to reverse petrification in my desk. No harm done. But it worked perfectly in testing.

[A small, nervous smile came into her face as she felt the glasses being placed into her hands- and of course, Evangeline had already prepared a potion, just in case. That was most appreciated!]

...I am glad you have prepared yourself. I trust you, but I do not want to risk the worst.

[Evangeline did good work, so she was sure these would work, especially after all the tests they'd done.

Rider took a deep breath, reaching one hand to the back of her head.]

...

Alright. I suggest you turn away for a moment.

[Evangeline has confidence in her own work, but she knows how Rider worries, so it's important to have safety measures just in case.

She turns around.]

I'm turned the other way, you can put them on now.

[Rider always worries-

Once she'd gotten the confirmation, there was a light click as she undid the clasp at the back of her blindfold, sliding it off into her hands. A familiar flare of cursed energy as her eyes snapped open- and with a little bit of fumbling, she quickly put the glasses on.

Blink... blink.]

...

I think...alright. It should be safe, now.

[Even if part of her wished she had a mirror. She'd rather risk petrifying herself than hurting Evangeline- but there was no time to fret about that now. Besides, it certainly felt as if they were suppressing the power of her eyes properly.]

[Evangeline turns around, and looks Rider in the eyes.

Nothing happens. After a moment just to make sure, Evangeline beams.]

It works! And you have beautiful eyes, I have to say.

[Her own eyes sparkle with delight.]

[It takes nearly all of Rider's willpower to not immediately avert her gaze- but no. Breathe. Focus.

And she met Evangeline's eyes for the first time.

Rider's own eyes widened a little. They were subtly inhuman, yes, but the glasses were doing their job.]

...!

Yes- it works. I-...I can finally look at you.

[Oh, then in comes the compliment- and that's enough to make her blush through the quiet excitement.]

[Oh, no, she's so cute.]

Well? How do I look?

[And so, so awkward. Rider swallowed back the immediate thought of well, she lowkey wants to see more of her but they were also at her workplace so...!]

Good- you- um, you are very pretty.

[There are workplaces where Evangeline would not hesitate to get naked, but this is not one of them.]

Thank you! That means a lot coming from someone as beautiful as you.

[If Evangeline got a dollar for every time she made Rider flustered, she wouldn't need this job at all.]

Me? But-

...thank you.

[Progress! She takes a moment to look around her, but soon focuses her attention back to Evangeline- it was a little overwhelming right off.]

...You really have done so much for me. I admit I- I do not know quite how to thank you properly.

Seeing you happy is more than worth it.

[She'd gladly drop everything to help her, at any time.]

[What is this, people valuing her happiness so highly, such a strange concept-]

If you insist. Thank you.

...Still, um, if there is anything...?

[Evangeline's (cute) smile is definitely infectious!]

Well, I mean. I'm always down for you to look at me naked and give me lots of compliments about it, but if I phrase that like it's a reward or repayment I'll feel guilty.

And here I thought it would be inappropriate to suggest that I wanted to see more of you, given where we were...

[Hey, you started it, Evangeline!]

Unfortunately, I'll get in trouble if I start taking my clothes off here. [Tragic really.] But my shift ends pretty soon!

[Very tragic. How dare her work not support her getting horny on the job!]

Then...maybe I will spent a little time getting used to these and looking around, and perhaps come by tonight?

[The only good thing about L Corp... (To be fair, they only supported it because it helped keep the monsters happy and that meant profit, but still.)]

I'll be looking forward to it. I'll slip into something special for you, even.

[Perfect L Corp logic, don't ask questions.]

However will I be able to focus today, when I know I have that to look forward to when I get back?

I'm flattered, but I think being able to see will be exciting enough for you that you'll be able to distract yourself from that thought.

There are a lot of things I want to see. I should probably focus on not overwhelming myself, first of all.

[One thing at a time! And yes, she was getting quite excited as she returned her focus to thinking about being able to see Ellipsa properly for the first time!]

...I might see if my Master can show me around the Botanical Gardens if he is free, so I can look at the flowers there.

Oh, the flowers are absolutely lovely. Enjoy yourself!
