One Share = A Golden Kiss

 "Shit, shit, shit!" Harrow whispers frantically to himself as he powerwalks through the Nexus holding his bag close at his side.

He forgot! He totally forgot! 

It had been at least a week since Nekomata gave him his orders. Sure it was a holiday game, and sure it wasn't actually an order, but it was still a quest, and he'd be damned if he wasn't going to finish it. Okay, so maybe he's damned regardless, but the sentiment stands:

Ixis Naugus Must Be Smooched.

"Naugus!" he hollers as he approaches the mage's tower. "Ixis Naugus! It's important! Get your ass down here NOW, man!"

Who knew Naugus could turn this into the cover of a romance novel? All of us do now. When the kiss his through Harrow tries to restrain his smile. The twist that Naugus is a sweet guy isn't one he quite expected, but it's a good one none the less.

Harrow flips through the pictures he's taken of their latest kiss. With swiveling, disembodied hands it's easy to get a few angles in, some better than others. This is True Art, real photography. He shows it off to Naugus with a proud, doggy smile.

"You look real cute in photographs, you know that?" he asks quietly. "I think we're gonna win. Nah, I know it. Those other schmucks ain't bringin' half what we are."

"Cute? Are you sure? I would have thought of words like magnificent. Powerful. Impressive." He peers curiously at the phone screen to see if this horrid device really does render him cute. What would that even look like?

What would that look like indeed.

Harrow laughs as he taps the screen with one claw. A little menu comes up and he picks through the options until sparkles and hearts appear at the edge of the picture. He even adds a well-placed lens flare. All pretense of majesty and power is out the window. The memory of their kiss is now officially kawaii.
