How many parts will there be?

Minutes pass by as the thin whistling strikes through the air, and Linna works up the resolve to ask,

"Your Highness, what are you playing?"

Belca looks up from the folded grass between his thumbs and blinks.

"Huh, this? A grass whistle. Prince Hector showed me how to make one when I was a kid."

Linna blinks and reaches for it.

"May I?"

"Sure. Here, let me show you."

"Your Highness, there's no need to--"

Belca's hands are already closed around his before he can finish the sentence. The prince slips the piece of grass between Linna's thumbs, angles it and points to his mouth.

"Now you just blow on it."

Linna presses his lips to it experimentally and blows - a sharp, high squeak comes out and he feels embarrassment rise. Belca frowns and shakes his head, slipping into his arms and completely ignoring the rapid-fire blus hthat appears almost instaneously.

"No, see, you've got to-- Got to angle it just right. And don't press it so hard, you won't be able to get any of the wind through it."

Belca presses his lips to Linna's thumbs and blows in the space between them, and the familiar note of a grasswhistle forms. He looks up, notices the position they're in, and stays still forever at Linna's pink face.

Linna glances aside, then leans closer; Belca fights a losing battle against a blush, and scowls.

"Your Highness, may I... Is it too much to ask for a..."

"What?"

"He wants a kiss~"

Linna jerks away and Belca scrambles off at the familarily cheerful voice of Eco, standing across from them with a smile.

"Sir Eco, please, it isn't--"

"Idiot! We weren't--"

Eco smiles wider and winks, holding a finger up to his lips.
