"Let me give you something...!"
BASELINE INFORMATION
- When Ari first meets Apollonia (within their respective stories), they are each in the middle of their respective journies. Ari is out to put down his giant robot friend FLINCH, while Apollonia is on a quest to find her beloved tutor BOOKER SOLA. Ari sees Apollonia as a shy (and also cute) crybaby on a ram, while Apollonia is distracted by his companion Dali being Rude.
- ANYWHO, they each suffer due to the way their stories end!!! Apollonia's heart breaks because her tutor spurns her and also because she learns that she-- was-- the Reason behind Countless State-Sanctified Deaths!!! Also her mentor dies somewhere in the epilogue.
- Ari is forced to fight his old friend and reduce him into a small robot body. Also, he gets his heart-broken by another princess. Also he witnesses his friends die in-battle, when he naively joins their cause. Also, his traveling companion Leaves Him b/c he was growing too hot and That's Just Uncomfortable.
- IN SPITE IT ALL, they each grow through their experiences. Apollonia realizes that she has much to learn about the world, and to empathize through the perspectives of others. Ari learns how to let go, having dealt with so much loss!
- They find each other in a marketplace by coincidence, having grabbed the same apple. They catch up with each other as BABBY!FLINCHROBOT congrats Apollonia for succeeding!! On her journey!! As Well!!
- Ari is amazed by how self-confident Apollonia has grown and Apollonia actually notices Ari and admires what he's gone through as well LOL.
- They fall asleep on the roof of an inn, having told each other their stories.
- Ari expects Apollonia to leave him (SO... SAD... BABY...). But, Apollonia asks if he'd like to come with her in her journey to see the world!!!! To which Ari nods stupidly.
- Then they do and it's cute.
ADDITIONAL RELATIONSHIP NOTES
- APOLLONIA TENDS TO LEAD ARI PLACES, though Ari prefers staring at Apollonia looking amazed at things HAHA.
- Apollonia is much more forward than Ari, and is very affectionate! They hold hands when they walk 8_8
- They share their first kiss when Apollonia's sunhat flies off!! He grabs it... And, in the heat of the moment, she kisses him.
- ARI CALLS APOLLONIA APPLE because of his accent!
- MARKETPLACES, DESERTY TOWNS, ETC ETC that's their- general- setting- yes-
”Groceries?”
“A date! A picnic and a movie!”
Squeezed between the baker’s and the butcher’s, the store in which Apollonia had chosen to buy the apples and carrots was more a shed than a shop. The floorboards creaked beneath their sandals; from above, sunlight filtered through the woven blankets, forming tiny star-freckles on everything—Apollonia’s face, the four fruit shelves, and the dusty cans and cans of preserves. Ari nodded at the purveyor, confirming that their journey was, indeed, far from anything so ordinary as a week’s worth of groceries.
Though, he had already watched “A Little Princess” and “The Secret Garden” with her more times than he
could count, he would watch them again still— if only to watch when she smiled, and hold her when she cried. What was important to her, Ari considers Extremely Important to himself.
“Ah~ I see” Apollonia took the apple from the scale as the woman gave a longing sigh, resting her chin into her floral-printed gloves. “That sounds love~ly…”
“It does doesn’t it, Ari!”
Another nod, this time with a smile to the prettiest girl in the world. “Yeah.”
