Q-Quadrivial:
Rosette had to admit, whether aloud or not, that traveling along with three other people wasn't exactly her idea of a vacation which this was anything but. Being trapped with Satella and Azmaria in a hotel room while Chrno parked out on a couch away from the bed angered her but as long as she was with Chrno…things couldn't be better.
Of course now she had a rival, Satella but deep down she knew that Chrno would never fall for a woman like Satella. Rosette couldn't explain why she just…understood the relationship between Chrno and Satella, though it seemed at times that Satella did not understand.
Azmaria's part in the group had yet to be revealed, though Rosette knew that both she and Chrno needed her. They had gone through something amazing and survived, each looking back on it and laughing now.
The four of them cared for one another, and Rosette found herself piecing together the family she had lost that night oh so many years ago to the ocean. She had true friends now that would do anything for her, and Chrno.
Yes he was different from everyone else. The demon who she shared time with, her life with, and her heart with. But she could never tell him how she really felt, no matter how bold she acted in front of the others the fear of her relationship with Chrno changing if she admitted anything kept her silent. All she could ask for was his friendship and company, something he seemed so willing to give.
And yet when she found herself looking at her friends, she couldn't help but wonder just how much longer they were going to be together. Even Chrno, yes she knew that one day Chrno would end up going out on his own path away from her. Satella would leave, as would Azmaira. They had all happened to meet on this path, this strange crossroad, with paths stretching outwards away from one another. Some paths bumpy and made of dirt, others smooth and made of concrete.
But for now Rosette would live at this crossroad and cherish every moment she had while here. She didn't know when things would split, and who would be the first to leave the group, willing or otherwise, but she did know that she would put up a fight when it came. Especially if it was Chrno.
After being together for so long, she could only imagine how hard it would be when he actually did leave. It was something told to her by Elder many years ago, Chrno was a demon he wasn't meant to live amongst humans for his entire lifespan. He would outlive her by hundreds of years, and her time had already been cut down thanks to the contract.
That's why time mattered. Why she lived day by day. She loved where she was now, in a hotel room with the other three, everyone within earshot. Laughing, fighting, and eating together.
This was home.
