Isla
"Boring? You? I don't believe it," Isla says simply, peeping over her sunglasses to catch the title of the book he's put down before she settles back again. "I'll do you one better - if you drop by the clinic before you head back home, I'll lend you a few of my favourites to take back with you." Flashing him a sunny smile, she's already got a couple of books in mind that he might enjoy. "If you don't like them, though, please lie to me," she adds with a chuckle.
Glad to hear that Asta doesn't plan to get himself into any trouble on vacation (then again, who the fuck does), Isla sits back to enjoy the hush of the waves crashing against the ocean and the heat rippling up from the sand, as well as the good company, of course. "Oh, I find time to enjoy myself every day," she assures him, chuckling at the good-natured nudge he delivers. "That's what I'm doing right now. I just need to take tiny breaks each day, rather than a long vacation, evidently."
But then the conversation moves on to what Asta has been up to, and although the Remedy has realised he hardly lives an unexciting life in the time she's known him, to say that she doesn't expect the casual list of chaos - and the two dates with Flora??? - is a fucking understatement. Blinking in shock and lowering her sunglasses to raise her eyebrows at him, she spends a couple of seconds waiting for the punchline only to find it very much lacking. "Asta, what?" She barks out a laugh. "Fuck, are you okay?"
