Canon Name = Nickname: Corrin = Lupus. Velouria = Vella. Keaton = Keaty. Setsuna = Seta. Hinoka = Hina. Sakura = Saku. Subaki = Superman. Ryoma = Red. Selkie = Silky. Kaden = Ka-da. Orochi = Viper. Takumi = Tako. Lastly, only Selkie/Silky refers to Corrin/Lupus as Lu-pu.
Consort: ...Did someone call for a non-canonical relationship? Maybe? Nah, it's too early to tell. Keaty could just be learning these things for future reference.
A perfect and mostly clean ruby as a Beaststone? Methinks that a bit of a stretch. None of the Wolfskin are exactly, erm… like Kaden or Selkie is when it comes to self-grooming, which would have to apply to their Beaststones, too. So, it's obviously a random gift Keaty happened to find… kinda like his canon support with Corrin, y'know, when he happened to find a shiny, clean seashell.
I'm bringing in all the not-so-popular pairings! ...Or maybe Kaden just likes helping people out and there are simply friends. But yes, as long as the potential battles are taking place in Hoshido's mountains, then Kaden can give some pretty good ideas.
Oh, poor Leo. He ain't Xander when it comes to following King Garon, and Sakura seems to be the 'push' that is causing Leo to question motives and where he stands, and what he really wants.
Ah, Niles. Nope, that's all I'm saying for that dirty Archer.
Takumi strolled from his usual day-to-day spot, which is the training grounds, over to the meeting room that mother has been spending an increasing amount of time at. Now, while he doesn't attend these meetings himself, he has the distinct feeling that more of them has to do with Nohr and the encroaching war. He can tell the difference, he knows…
Mother is sometimes struggling to stay lucid.
Which means more conduits are falling, more magical stress on her.
He stops and knocks on the door, or he would have, had the doors not open on their own. "Lord Takumi." Yukimaru, Hoshido's best tactician, maybe even the best in the world, greets him with a stern frown. "Please, enter."
"Thank you." He nods as he enters. The first thing he notices is just how tired mother is, "Mother?"
Yet, she still manages to smile at him, "Hello, son." She takes a breath. "I hope your day is going well."
...and always a mother first. "Pretty good so far, I made eighty-eight bullseyes out of ninety-nine."
She nods, "That does sound wonderful, I'm glad." A pause, "Son? Please, come and look over the map."
"Of course, mother." He walks over and he hears Yukimaru keep pace behind him, though when he gets to the actual table, the tactician stands on the other side. "You wanted to tell me something?"
She takes a breath, then… "Yukimaru? If you don't mind?"
"Understood." So instead, he gestures towards a number of 'x' dotted across Hoshido, they are all relatively close to the border. "The Nohrians have been taking down more of our conduits, and as I'm sure you could tell, the stress on Her Highness is starting to overwhelm her, which in turn means that the Nohrians can keep using this 'anti-barrier' spell that allows them to attack Hoshidans while inside Hoshido." Finger goes on the main road linking Hoshido and Nohr, "Several platoons of nothing but magic focused units are piled up, who are continuously assaulting the barrier with their own magic."
"I… won't be holding it… much longer." Mother supplies as she pulls a nearby chair closer to her, then proceeding to sit down.
"What about my family? How are they faring?"
"Princess Corrin and Princess Hinoka are still in the pack. High Prince Ryoma has since made a full recovery and…" He smiles, "We had a successful exchange, Princess Sakura is at the Hoshidan outpost with the others. Though… her retainer, Hana, probably won't ever make a full recovery, as pieces of her chest armor are too embedded in her."
"Gods, Sakura." Takumi breathes a sigh of relief. "Is she alright? How is she…"
He pulls out a sheet of paper, "'When Princess Sakura was escorted back to the base camp and received a medical check-up: she showed signs of undernourishment, increased anxiety which amounts much more than what she normally has, and she is sometimes unable to properly sleep. However, all it took were a few days of specially prepared meals and the undernourishment has faded, and it has also contributed towards better sleeping. The higher levels of anxiety has remained.'" He finishes.
They… starved her? And gods only know what kind of torture she might have endured. Takumi takes a deep breath, willing himself calm. "Understood." Is all he replies with.
"Son?" Mother speaks up, "Prepare your gear and…" Another breath.
"Please, allow me." Yukimaru starts, "Lord Takumi, you are to travel to the border with your retainers."
"Alright, I can be ready in an hour." He has a good idea on what's about to be said, too.
The tactician looks at the queen, who nods, "By Her royal decree… we are to finish off all remaining war preparations. By no later than the week's end, war will be declared."
And he assumed correctly. "Good, I can snipe those monsters that dared touch my family." He nods.
"I'll… be dropping the barrier… when the army arrives." She announces. "Just a few more days."
"And when you do, make sure you get plenty of rest, okay?" Takumi asks.
She has a small smile, "I will, son. But… one more thing." She rises, and opens her arms, "Come here, please…"
"Really? In front of… oh, alright." He briefly complains, before moving to accept her hug.
Hana stretches, briefly grimacing in pain as her chest protests… those metal shards won't ever come out. She's forever injured. Still, that won't prevent her from doing her duties as a retainer, it's just something she has to work around. Katana, armor… with an extra leather padding under her chest armor. It limits her movements even more, but if something were to press against her chest again, she risks having those shards push even further in.
Something like that damn wolf.
Princess Hinoka is still stuck in 'the pack'. She would say the same for Princess Corrin, but it's clear that woman isn't her… the real Princess Corrin is gone, dead.
Katana's hilt gripped tighter, Hana frowns. She then unsheathes her weapon and readies herself for another round of training. "Hyaaah!" Slice, slice, stab, she begins her routine. Her chest is already starting its complaints again, but she pushes through it.
"Don't stress yourself too much." She halts mid swing.
"Subaki." She greets without turning.
"I understand your need to stay at your top performance, but don't forget about…"
"I know!" Hana… hasn't exactly dropped the 'duties of a retainer' topic she argued about with him. "I'm aware of my new boundaries."
"I'm simply concerned for your well-being, how would…"
"Don't say it." She rounds on him, "Don't you dare try and guilt me by using our liege's name."
"I don't seek to get into this argument again, Hana." He sighs.
"Um… hello?" Lady Sakura walks up, looking as nervous as ever since she returned.
"My liege!" Hana's mood goes up, "It's good to see you!"
"Lady Sakura…" Subaki bows.
"U-um…" Lady Sakura takes a breath, "I w-was going t-t-to take a walk… w-w-would you c-care to join m-me?" She smiles.
"Of course!" Hana quickly replies.
Subaki hesitates, because it's clear he isn't a 'perfect' retainer. "I-it's okay if y-you don't want to…" She trails off.
"Oh no, it's not that, my liege. But… now? The Nohrians are able to send increasing numbers of…"
"And now you're doubting Her Highness's barrier?" Hana asks.
"Hana, I encountered at least a platoon's worth of soldiers while in…"
"Let me guess, 'the pack'? Face it, those wolves had it coming." She huffs.
"Lady Hinoka is with 'those wolves', Hana. Are you…"
"Don't turn this around on me!"
"Pl-please stop." Lady Sakura gently intervenes. "I-I'll just go w-with Hana…"
Subaki raises an eyebrow, but Hana smiles. "Well, I'm ready whenever you are."
"Do enjoy yourselves." Subaki, almost forces out. "I shall be here."
Lady Sakura nods, then turns to Hana, "Let's go, o-okay?"
"Alright!" Hana takes her place beside Lady Sakura, as she should.
Kagero slowly opens her eyes… is she indulging herself too much? The thought crosses her mind as she lifts her head off of Kaden's resting body. She has never felt so rested, and that allows her to serve her liege better, so she shouldn't feel any guilt for it, but… no. It's not because of the benefits, but because of how she's treating this.
As an arrangement, instead of a kind Kitsune who just wants more friends.
Kagero rises and stretches, "...Hey, Kagero?" The Nine-tails asks.
She didn't miss the change in his tone, "Is there something I can help you with?"
Swish, his Nine-tail's… well, nine tails move around, each in its own direction and speed. "I… hate to sound like I know better than others but…" He huffs. "Or maybe it's because none of you have been able to use the same 'shampoo' and 'soaps' as you normally can, but…"
"Kaden?"
"I mean, a lot of you smell more… 'natural' and that's something I really like, but…" He seems really bothered.
"I'm afraid that smell will only get worse… especially if war is declared."
"Saku smells really different." He gets to the point. "I mean, I only really had a few chances to sniff, back at the castle. I can't place that one 'portion' of her scent."
"Perhaps it came from her imprisonment?" Kagero suggests.
"Hmm… maybe." Kaden nods. "I suppose that makes sense. I don't really know what Nohr smells like." His tails still and those beautiful light-blue orbs slow down… which means he's getting calmer. Kagero blinks her eyes, she has been spending a lot of time with him. She can tell some of his moods solely through his tail and those 'Foxfire' orbs.
"Kagero?" Subaki walks up. "I hate to bother you, but I couldn't find Saizo and…" He takes a breath.
"You're really bothered, buddy… what's wrong?" Kaden asks.
"I've been taking note of Lady Sakura's behavior, and…" He pauses, "I'm worried about how deeply rooted her pain is. It has literally changed her routines."
Kagero looks from Kaden to Subaki. "She hasn't been spending as much time in the clinic." Kagero confirms. "Though I always thought that had to do with the residual effects of that… 'mage-bane' toxin she was injected with." One of things Lady Sakura informed the Hoshidans of was this toxin that, according to Iago, literally burns the magic out of someone's body, then causes a similarly intense burn whenever they attempt to cast magic.
Subaki nods, "It's not just her less frequent clinic visits…" He rubs the back of his neck, "Lady Sakura is going to take a walk with Hana, and gave the warning of potential Nohrians, since the barrier is weakening."
"All conduits within ten miles of the border have been destroyed." Kagero supplies. "I'm afraid we're at the point where the magical stress is starting to overcome Her Highness."
A pause, "Kagero? Could you… shadow Lady Sakura during her walk?"
"Pardon me?" She tilts her head.
"I did say I warned her, but… both Hana cut me off and Lady Sakura seemed confident it wouldn't happen…"
"Which is strange, considering her confinement." Kagero picks up. "Understood. Just allow me to inform my liege and…"
"I'll do it for you." Kaden offers. "I wanna help."
The Ninja smiles, "Thank you… friend." Subaki raises an eyebrow at the term, "I'll take my leave, and I'll be sure to report any odd behavior."
"Thank you, Kagero." With one more set of nods, Kagero vanishes and sets off to follow Hana and Lady Sakura.
"Achoo!" Hina sneezes. "Gods…"
Lupus hands Hina some more cloth. "I'm sorry." She frowns.
She shakes her head and smiles, "No, it's not your fault." Hina holds herself near the fire, "I chose to stay in longer than I should've." Hina has gotten 'a cold' from their time in the lake, something Lupus has only gotten a few times, but that was during intense snowfalls. "Hey… by the way." Hina pauses as she sneezes again, "I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but where are you getting these cloths at? Subaki didn't…"
"They're cloths." Lupus nods.
"I know that."
"Then you know where they came from."
"Sister…" Hina sighs. "Where did the cloths come from?"
She points at the most recently discarded one, "That came from Vella," She then points at the one in Hina's hand, "That came from Keaty."
Hina tilts her head, "I don't get it. Do you all just have random scraps of cloth?"
"Huh? No. It's torn clothing."
Hina looks at the cloth in her hand, then at Lupus. "Please tell me these aren't undergarments."
"What? No… we don't wear those." Lupus shamelessly reminds Hina, then proceeds to look under her own 'pants'... which basically amounts to 'short shorts'. "I think the one from Keaty came from his shirt." She draws a jagged shape on her chest, around her… admittedly noticeable cleavage. "Right around here."
By all means, if Lupus actually took the time to clean herself up, she would be desirable by human standards. She's tough, but in a more lean way, which allows her to keep her more feminine figure. The last few months have been her 'human' growth spurt for womanhood. Her chest has definitely become more pronounced. "Oh, okay." Hina nods… then sneezes. "Can you at least get a bra?"
"Bra?" She echoes, "Oh, that piece that goes over… here?" For emphasis, she pulls down her shirt slightly.
"Sister!" Hina looks away, her face is burning. "Gods, decency!"
"Huh? Oh, right." She puts it back in place. "Anyway, why do I need a bra?" She looks back down at her breasts.
"Because, well… that's just what we do."
Lupus looks unconvinced. "Better reason."
"Because…"
"You don't even know, do you?" Lupus smiles. "Sister, I've done a lot of things your way, now how about you do things my way?"
"I'm not taking off my bra."
"C'mon, just for a few days."
"No." Hina remains stubborn. "That's just wrong."
"One day?"
"Just… stop, okay?"
Lupus huffs, then pulls out her most powerful move in her moveset… she pouts. "It's not fair… I was willing to do all of these things that I never really wanted to do or that I…"
"You didn't even bother trying on those shoes." Hina points out, somehow managing to best Lupus's pout. "Or the underwear or bra."
"I did to!"
"For what, a few seconds?" Hina smirks.
"They were really uncomfortable, which is why you should take yours off." Lupus nods, more to herself. "One hour."
"No." Hina shakes her head, "Forget it, sister. I'm not doing that."
"Lupus." Keaty walks in, "Scouting group, go."
Without a single complaint, Lupus walks out… well, it has been a while since she's properly gotten out and about. The last few days in the pack have been… quiet. "Lupus." This time it's Dadaan. "Ready?"
"Just… us?" She looks around.
"We don't have much distance we can safely cover… it's either we're getting too close to the border and the Nohrian humans, or we are getting too close to the relatively close hamlets." He explains, "So, the alpha has been sending scouting groups with just two."
"Oh…" Lupus nods, "Alright, I'm ready to go." He dashes off and she's quick to follow. Then she takes a breath of the surrounding forest… it's just so right. So good smelling. The wind, the leaves…
Dadaan.
Lupus can clearly see one of his purple patches of fur on his back, oh… and she knows how soft his fur can get. However, she resists the urge to stroke it, as there is work to do. "...Lupus." He says as they go from a jog to a walk.
"Yeah?"
"Alpha wants to… 'test' me." He admits, sounding far more vulnerable than earlier.
Test him? "I don't get it."
"He's… willing to give me the right to mate if I win."
She is now tilting her head, "Okay?" Wow Keaty… you really are changing things. "Why are you…"
"I mean, the right to mate… with you." He adds.
"Oh… well, to be honest. If I had a choice, I'd rather want a different male than Keaty… he's a brother to me, and it just 'feels' weird to think about mating with a brother."
"I don't know if I want to."
"To… mate with me?" She asks.
"I don't want to treat you just as a bitch… I want to be able to provide for your human life, too." Thump, thump, thump. "Alpha's been learning the 'consent' and 'marriage' things from Hina and… I think that's what I want."
"And what do you want?" Once more, Hina's question pops in her mind.
"But, if you'd rather keep this as beastfolk…"
"Okay." Lupus cuts him off. "Erm, I meant for the marriage thing."
"You will?"
She nods, "It'll be different, learning all of those things, but… there's that part of me that really wants to. If you're willing to learn, then I'm willing to learn." A step closer.
"Then I suppose…" A half step closer.
Then a scream. "Let go!" Is what Lupus's keen ears pick up.
She then moves towards the sound, but Dadaan stops her, "That's outside of our territory!" He growls.
A sick laughter follows, "G-gods!" Someone shouts.
"They need help!" She rounds on him.
"We aren't to…"
"Kaden!" A third voice screams… for help.
"Silence, bitch!" The one that laughed shouted that one.
"You dare impersonate Lady Sakura, Imma…"
"Lupus! We're…"
Lupus doesn't know what 'impersonate' means, but that voice said Saku. "Then you can run back… but I'm helping!" She charges forward, leaving behind a conflicted Wolfskin.
"That third one almost did us in…" She hears one say.
"That's why there should always be back-up." It's the one that laughed. "Go! Go! Faster!"
Halt, look, listen. Lupus pokes her head out into a small clearing… then almost fails to stop herself from yelping.
Kagero, Superman, Hana… All three are unconscious and bound, being carried away by humans. She manages to keep herself from growling, she needs to… "Ah, ah, ah…" One, two… three? Four?! No less than five humans seem to appear out of nowhere. "Well, look who it is…" White hair, eyepatch… it's the one she used that water stream on, the one who had a hole in his chest. He then whistles. "Keep going… we'll make sure this one is properly bound.
"Alive, Niles." One of the soldiers say, a man with gray hair and… Lupus, for some unnamed reason, breath catches as she eyes this man's sword. She's never seen one like it, she doesn't know what it is, but she instinctively knows it would be almost a guaranteed death to get hit by it.
"Heh… says the one with the Wyrmslayer. Honestly Laslow…"
"Milady, please… just stand down." Laslow interrupts him. "Don't make this harder than it has to be."
One archer, one with a 'Wyrmslayer', two axes, and one with a lance. She… too many. "Oh, this is wonderful! We get to bag a second Princess…" Niles smirks.
Breathe, breathe… stop thinking about the… she can't. That Wyrmslayer is practically forcing her to stare at it, to make sure she knows exactly where it is. Is… is this the same fear that a Beast Killer gives off? "Princess Corrin, please… kneel down and hold your hands up." Laslow presses.
What can she do? Another calming breath, clear mind… goals set. "Where's Saku?" Lupus finds her voice. "Where are you taking them?!" Sure, Hana wasn't exactly nice to her… sure, Kagero is one of those Ninjas, but they are, by all means, part of the family. 'Retainers'.
"Are you interested? Well, feel free to come along." Niles goads. "Drop the Dragonstone." Lupus gulps, slowly raises her hand over to the clasp of her necklace… then abruptly yanks down and tears 'it' off.
Except that the 'it' is her shirt. Male musk up, it gives her just a second's distraction, but in a lifestyle where even the smallest of moments can be the difference, that one second is all she needs. Lupus points her right arm at the nearest soldier, who is holding an axe, instantly impaling him with a summoned lance arm. She then forms her maw and snaps it around the one holding a lance, pulls him closer, and delivers a kick that cracks his chest… not killing him, but keeping him out of the fight. She then forms her head armor. Lastly, she readies her maw and lance once more.
All of that happened in that one second's distraction.
"Wh-what is that monster!?" The second axe holder cowers in fear, "Nobody said we're fighting a monster!" He ran.
Lupus holds her place, she needs to be on the offensive for Niles, but that Wyrmslayer Laslow holds will force her to play defensively… which effectively gives Niles more than enough time to back up for more shots.
"Once more chance, Lady Corrin." Laslow takes his own stance. "We can take you to Princess Sakura."
"Laslow…" Niles tuts, "It's more fun if they fight back." Then he fires an arrow, which hits her maw… she can feel the impact, but the arrow isn't strong enough to pierce it. Lupus would have charged to close the distance, but Laslow already stepped in front of her, that damn blade in hand.
"Ngh…" Lupus yelps as Niles scores an arrow as she is forced to just keep moving away from Laslow. Her vision briefly blurs as she feels a blunt object hit her backside… there's more?!
"Tch, it's taking you two way too long." Lupus recognizes that voice.
"Don't let your guard down, she's still a serious threat." Emotionless.
"Oh-ho… she's right. A cornered beast is the most dangerous…" From her left side walks A Lady Camilla. "Or would this be a cornered dragon?"
Scaling, dehorning, declawing… decorations. Lupus takes an unconscious step back as those vivid images return… an insane human using her dragon body as decorations. Of course, it doesn't help that Laslow has that Wyrmslayer. "Then let's hurry up!" Red hair, feisty… Selena, was it? "The sooner we…"
Howling, followed by another, yet the second one is more quiet… "Don't worry darlings, I brought plenty…" A Lady Camilla's wyvern, which looks completely different than the last time she saw her, has a sack on its side… Beast Killers. Laslow takes a step closer and the blade is now only just touching her skin, but…
She whines, it burns as it is slicing through her. He isn't even trying to cut her, but it's slicing through her anyway.
Slam, Dadaan rams into Niles, pressing him into the ground, then proceeding to pick him up and throw him across the grounds. "Dadaan?" He growls at her.
Lances are pointed at him, and he stills, trying to figure out the best way to fight. Keaty? Vella? Did… he even go back? No, he just hesitated on following her, as there is no fresh scent of any of the pack on him. What was…
One, two, three, Beast Killers are yanked out by yellow and white blurs. Three Ka-das spit the Beast Killers out of their mouths. "Yaaay~! Playtime!" The cheerful voice of Silky exclaims as she tackles Laslow. With the distraction of the Kitsunes, Dadaan closed the distance between him and Beruka. Lupus quickly turned on her heel and used her maw to snap down on Selena's arm. Two of the Ka-das dash into Camilla's new wyvern, one slamming into it, and the other skillfully ripping into its neck.
"Foxfire, recall." Two of the three Ka-das turn into balls of blue fire, then he manages his top speed in just a single bound, before slamming Camilla to the ground. Niles is unconscious, with his body next to a broken tree. Lupus is pretty sure he's dead. "I'm not letting you walk…" Ka-da growls.
"If you kill me…" A Lady Camilla starts. "There will…"
"Be a satisfying meal." He cuts her off.
"L-Lady Camilla!" Selena exclaims as bones start to crunch from Lupus's maw. "Let go you… Ah!" Twist, pull, grab. Selena's arm is turned to an awkward angle as Lupus's lance arm turns back into a normal arm, then proceeds to grab Selena and pin her to the ground with her foot.
Laslow has let go of his sword as Silky continues to pin him down. "Aw… that's all?"
"..." Beruka remains silent as Dadaan's massive Wolfskin paw covers her entire chest, pinning both arms, and reaching down to her waist.
Lupus looks from one to the other, then back to Selena, who is trying and failing to remove Lupus's leg. "Sh-she weighs more than… I don't even know!" Crack, her breastplate starts to give into her foot. "She can break metal with her foot?!"
And as if to prove himself better, Dadaan's foot-paw completely shatters Beruka's chestpiece. "..." yet, she remains stubbornly silent, even as blood starts pouring.
"I don't care about the rest." It's Ka-da who speaks up. "I'm taking Princess Camilla back, the humans can get more use out of her alive." One, two, three… five. Five of his nine tails wrap around her at various points. One for each arm and leg, then one around her neck… then he starts dragging her. "I'm glad you're well, Lupus." Is the last thing he says as he leaves.
"Dadaan?" Lupus asks, "What should…?"
"Hey! Wanna play a game?" Silky smiles at Laslow. "It'll be fun, real fun."
"I, uh…"
"It's called 'Play with Prey'." She cuts him off, "I let you go, you run, and I chase after you… if you can get out of my territory, then you live. If you don't, I get to do whatever I want with you! Sounds fun, right?" Though she doesn't actually wait for a response, "Alright, three, two, one… go!" She hops off of him… and steps on his Wyrmslayer. "C'mon, go! Go! Won't be fun if you stay, no. Gotta run fast!" Without needing anymore prodding, Laslow bolts up and runs. "Alright, humans slow, so I wait for one… two… three…" Silky starts counting.
"You know the answer, Lupus. They attacked the pack." Dadaan finally replies as Silky still counts.
"Don't think…" Selena starts.
"Uh… what's after ten and two?" Silky asks, "Ah, forget it… here I come!" She finally runs off. "Oh, right! See you later, Lu-pu!"
A crack echoes from Beruka's spot and the woman is now limp and… "He wasn't dead?" Dadaan looks to where the broken tree and where Niles was at. The archer must be a lot tougher than he lets on. "Lupus. Hurry up. Need to leave."
"Whaddya waiting for? Or do you think I'm going to change my views just become I'm down?" Selena spits out.
"I don't care what you think, human." Lupus finally says, "You, your retainer buddy, and A Lady Camilla tried to kill my family, the pack… so, blood for blood." Lupus moves her foot over a bit so that Selena's upper chest is not being blocked off.
"Yeah? Well…" Gush, drop. Lupus forms her lance once more, impaling Selena's heart.
"...You hesitated." Dadaan points out. "She could have…"
"I don't like killing." Lupus declares. "It feels wrong, even when I have to." She pauses and shakes her head, "Let's go back." She glances at the trail where Kagero, Hana, and Superman were taken, "I'm also going to visit the Hoshidan base camp, so they know where the trail starts." Dadaan shifts back and he starts his run. Lupus follows up.
"Yaaaay~! I win!" She hears Silky yell from somewhere in the forest.
A/N: Another update from the castle and... ow. Queen Mikoto is running out of magical juice. Welp, war is going to be declared soon, and she's going to end up dropping the barrier completely.
Ah, Hana… glad to see your excitement for having 'Sakura' back only causes you to look past the flaws…
Unlike Subaki, oh and it seems like Kagero noticed some things to… and of course Kaden knew something was up. As for why Subaki is in the abduction scene, but 'Sakura' said only her and Hana, well… he didn't exactly follow her orders, did he?
Kagero is addicted to Kaden's fur~! But, can you really blame her? Though, on the other hand, calling him a friend like that…
Poor Hina has a cold, hopefully that won't last too long. Then there is Lupus, bringing up more human stuff, like why wear a bra? And… also had to make sure we don't forget that Lupus is still quite attractive in human standards. ;)
Anyway, a scouting trip, that turns into a serious confession moment with Dadaan… that turns into a fight and witnessing Kagero, Hana, and Subaki being taken. Oh yes, the start of that fight… with Lupus tearing off her shirt, nice move. Nothing like a pair of breasts to distract men, am I right
So, now Camilla has been taken… again, but this time this was not part of the plan. Two more deaths, Selena and Beruka. Niles escaped, because why not. Aaaand…. Laslow has become a plaything for Selkie.
