Coopa bowed before the three angry women before her. "Please forgive my worthless master."
She could hear Melt huffing behind her but Coopa grit her teeth before looking up to the three women, a few tears gathering in her eyes. "Won't you please forgive him?"
One of the women gasped while the other two looked away, uncertain. The leader of the group placed a hand on Coopa's shoulder and nodded. "You poor, dear girl. I can't imagine having to stay in that despicable man's presence every day."
Coopa grasped the woman's hands, standing up and offering a pained smile. "He wasn't always like this. It seems he's lost his manners upon stepping outside of the castle."
"Won't you join our party, young lady? I would hate to leave you here alone with him."
Coopa sighed. "I shall have to pass on your offer. You see, if I wasn't here, he would most likely waste away."
The woman smirked. "I don't see any harm in that."
Melt was about to protest but Coopa firmly planted her foot into his shin, effectively cutting off his argument. Patting the older woman's hand, she smiled. "As tempting as your offer is, I would die of guilt were I to leave my master to survive out here alone."
The leader nodded, offering a sad smile. "I wish you the best of luck."
Coopa waved as the group departed, waiting until they had walked out of sight. Turning around, she sighed as she took in Melt's pouting face. "Honestly, what am I do with such a worthless master?"
Melt folded his arms and glared. "It was their loss."
