Fang and Vanille had spent a few days recovering their health after the union had taken place. The room that Behe had set for them was quite cold and the two girls mostly stayed under the covers, occasionally sitting up some to read some of the books that he had brought in.
Vanille seemed most interested in the books on clothes design, and would leaf through all of the pages and squeak when she saw something that caught her eye. Fang on the other hand seemed to be completely engrossed in the tombs on weapons, and seemed to pick them apart and reengineer them in her mind.
She glanced over at Vanille and smirked when she saw how the girl was still reading about fashion. The young girl noticed this and returned her sarcasm with a shy smile.
"Hey Fang, I think you'd look pretty in this."
She lifted up the book, which had a picture of a very girly dress on the page. She smiled at the thought of Fang wearing something like that and the latter just raised her eyebrow and rolled her eyes, looking down again at the weapon tomb.
"Ya, sure thing kid....and now that I think of it...."
She turned a few pages and stopped, smiling sarcastically.
"I think this outfit would look "pretty" on you as well."
She lifted up the tomb, which only had a picture a helmet. Vanille frowned and pinched the older girl's arm.
"It's a helmet Fang! You need to get your mind out of the gutter!"
The raven girl smiled deviously and continued to leaf through the pages.
"Don't worry, we can wear matching outfits if you like."
She looked over at the strawberry girl who was by this time pretending she didn't hear her, then back at the book and sighed in boredom.
She closed the book and sat it down on the nightstand, and made her way to snuggle up to the young girl who was looking at a belt.
Fang watched the younger girl as her small hands leafed through the pages. She softly kissed the young girl's shoulder and sighed.
"Vanille, if we become crystals...well...if we wake up from...."
She stopped and Vanille closed the book and turned to the older girl who was by now immersed in thought. She kissed the older girl's nose and brushed a piece of hair out of the way.
"I know...we will wake up."
She placed her hand on Fang's face and smiled.
"When we do, you can open a shop...with weapons."
The raven girl looked at her and smiled, slowly inching into a soft kiss. The young girl instinctively wrapped her arms around Fang's waist, and the two seemed to get lost in the taste of each other.
Vanille laid on her back and allowed Fang to get on top of her. The latter slowly reached her hand behind and unclasped the bra that the strawberry was wearing. She then looked down at the young girl and kissed her, and allowed her hand to make it's way in between the girl's legs.
In that moment the door swung open and in came Behe, with another young monk. Behe gasped and let go of the young man's hand and they looked at each other embarrassingly. The girls looked up in shock and Vanille let out a squeak.
Fang quickly jumped off Vanille and sat on the opposite side of the bed, with an irritated expression. She looked up at the two in annoyance and the young men averted their eyes to avoid the piercing gaze.
Vanille was blushing and made her way to snap her bra back on, and scrambled to find a shirt to throw on. She then sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at the floor, her cheeks burning a bright red. The two men just stood there in silence for a moment and both seemed ready to sprint for the door. Behe swallowed and stuttered to speak, trying desperately to break the silence.
"Uh...yes... well...seems...."
He looked at the other man who seemed to be as uncomfortable as he was. Both of their faces had turned a bright shade of crimson.
"Yes...you two are feeling better it seems."
He then looked again at his friend and smiled when he realized how comical this whole situation really was. He glanced at the girls and smiled again trying to think of what to say.
"This is my friend Flamme...he is very good with medicine... I asked him to come and check your vitals to see if you are ready to begin your focus, but I'm not....uh...now not too sure it's necessary."
The other monk glanced up momentarily at the two women and then down at the floor.
"Hi. Yes well, I'd better be going Behe... they need to get their things ready...and um...well.... see ya!"
The young man looked at the two women and then turned on his heels and quickly left the room. Behe just stood there smiling uncomfortably.
"I probably won't be able to see you two off, but I brought a bag of food for your journey. I am going with Flamme to a nearby town to get some wine. We probably won't be back for a day or two."
The two women just looked at him and Vanille's expression saddened. She got up and made her way over to where he was standing. She stood in front of him for a moment and then threw her arms around his neck. The young man froze up uncomfortably when the young girl gave him a kiss on the cheek. She drew back and looked at him and smiled.
"Thank you Behe for all of your help! When we get done with our focus we will visit you again!"
Fang also got out of bed and the annoyed expression softened. She walked over to where the two were standing and extended her hand to the young man.
"Thank you...for saving Vanille."
He smiled and shook her hand.
"It was my pleasure. I really do wish you two the best of luck... and do be careful..."
Fang then put her arm around Vanille's waist and the two watched as their friend made his way out of the room. She then looked at the younger girl and sighed.
"I guess we'd better be off."
