"I did it out of love. I love her, your honor."

Sara could only watch in silence as her attacker, Ken Kamado, stood there and claimed his actions were that of love.

"Sara knows that we were meant to be and she dared to go and have a child with someone else? She was my first kiss and I knew from that moment that she loved me. So how could she betray me!" He yelled from the podium as all eyes turned to her. She and Ken had kissed only one time and that was years ago for her first tv show. He was literally only on one episode where her character was working a kissing booth. And he thought that made them a match?

"Those children should have been mine! I cut those little bastards!" His voice was getting higher as he started to stand from his seat. His eyes were locked on her as he slowly smiled. "They were going to ruin everything. You understand that, right sweetheart." He was speaking in what he thought was a soothing tone but all Sara could hear was the weaks cries of an infant as she slowly fell back into that moment. "The girl was dead before I got her out but the boy… He screamed. He dared scream at me when he shouldn't even exist."

"Get him out of my courtroom!" The judge called out as Ken continued to talk, her horror mounting as she realized what he was doing. "I slit his throat!" The man continued and lunged for her. "I slit his throat and I'd do it again! You hear me!" The guards dragged him away as Sara sat there in shock. Rin was in front of here and trying to get her attention while her mother stroked her hair. Her father was in tears beside her as he watched his little girl clutched mindlessly at her stomach.

"You hear me! You can't run from our love Sara!"

"YOU CAN'T RUN!"

Rin could only watch as his sister receded further into herself. Only a month after waking up from a coma and she was further back than the day she left that hospital. "Sara…" He started, unsure what to say. He couldn't truly understand what she felt. He wasn't a woman, so he couldn't understand the loss of something so special as to create children. He married his highschool sweetheart, so he never felt the pain of the one you love abandoning you. His daughter was still alive, so he didn't know the anguish of losing a child, much less two. He never lost eight months of his life. So how could he say "I understand how you feel".

"Sara, I'm here for anything you need." He said lamely. His sister said nothing as she wheeled herself to the lift their parent's had installed on the grand staircase where he watched his mother ruin their relationship all those years ago. He'd long grown out of his cynical mindset but at times like these…

Cynical just felt right.

"Love is the worst weapon in the world." He mumbled to himself as he watched the lift stop and his sister wheel herself away.

Sara moved mechanically as she wheeled herself to her old room. She'd moved back in with her parent's since her release from the hospital. Her room was the same as she left it when she bought her condo two years ago. Almost. She ignored the fact that her loft style bed was now and the ground or the fact that the top three shelves of her bookshelf were empty. She kept her eyes focused on her old rig, the bright red finish with black roses scratched and covered with stickers from all over the world. Wheeling herself to it, she somehow managed to pull herself into the elevated seat. Her breaths came out in heavy puffs as her arms trembled from the exertion.

Tears pricked the corners of her eyes as she plugged herself in and came to the main HUD. Dozens of games and filles filled her screen, Yggdrasil floating directly in front of her. Scowling she opened the game's file to delete it when she saw it.

She had started coding her own NPC out of excitement when she first discovered she was pregnant. She'd been so excited and worried when she read the positive test. She couldn't tell anyone yet though. She just just got a new movie deal and Rin had just proposed. It hadn't been the right time. So she made this adorable little girl to hide all of her excitement and insecurities. Every worry secret she had of being left behind when she inevitably took a break, the hidden pressures to remain perfect in the eyes of others, all her fears. They were covered, buried deep within this string of ones and zeros.

That was her before the attack.

This new version of herself couldn't even talk back to the man who attacked her for a sick idea of love. A version of her that found disgust in the idea of love if that's what it meant to have someone's love. Rin said he loved her. Ken claimed to love her. And look where she was now. She didn't want their love. She was someone people automatically loved and looked where that supposed love left her. Broken and alone.

Angry tears blurring her vision, she created a new file. She wouldn't let herself be hurt again. She wouldn't let being loved be a weapon that can be used against her. Love was toxic and she wanted no part of it. rising as she vented her frustrations, Sara labeled her newest file.

Sephiroth sat silently next to his creator as she wrote furiously in her diary. She had a session with her therapist today and seemed to be upset about something. Karma was still in her casket, having been commanded to stay in there until otherwise. Carrisimi then had him sit with her on the couch and retrieved her diary from his inventory.

Sephiroth was rather proud of the level of trust his creator held in him. He knew every word written in those pages by heart and was granted with a level of knowledge that no other NPC could ever hope to scratch. He was her closest confidant and most trusted servant.

But this also bore a terrible weight. He knew of her pain, the trials she suffered in IRL. And he couldn't do anything to help her. He could only hold onto her pain for her and hope that day he can truly be there for her. But for now, he would protect her diary as he protected her room.

Behind the kind smile of her avatar's face, Sara was an emotional wreck. Her therapist had suggested she keep a diary to vent her feelings between sessions but she'd always been hesitant about it. She'd only kept a diary once before and had found the little pink notebook up for auction barely a week later on a fan site. After that she took to compartmentalizing her feelings. But it was so hard to keep things to herself these days.

But when she made Sephiroth, she had vented to him. He couldn't betray her secrets and so she kept a diary in game. The NPCs didn't drop items when killed and no one could make it to this floor anyway. The only person outside of her who could access his inventory was Momonga and he had more respect than that. So Sephiroth became her most trusted confidant and keeper of her diary.

"Here you go, Seph." Carisimmi sighed while handing over the diary. The moment he touched it, the book disappeared in a cloud of pixels. Each new word was immediately painted into his mind. Worry filled him as he processed today's entry.

Ken Kamado was getting out on good behavior?

Sara had been rather self destructive in GIRL during her career. Not in the "I do stupid things with no regard" mind you, but in the "I'm gonna finish this tour even though I just broke my ankle because people are counting on me" destructive. Her previous desire to be loved by all had evolved into something more clingy as she feared being a burden while craving any attention she could get.

This trait was present in Carissimi as well, her determination to not fail Momonga and take care of the Tomb as she promised driving her. Even if Sebas was currently trying to urge her back to bed. "M'lady, I must ask that you rest. It's only been an hour since you fell asleep and it may be for the best if you took the day off." Carisimmi just shook her head negative as she sat and looked at her butler. He'd changed into a clean suit at some point, his form immaculate as usual.

"I simply can't, Sebas." Carisimmi said as she pulled the sheets from her naked form. She had expected to feel some discomfort from dried sweat and slick, but her skin was free of the fluids. A soft blush painted her cheeks when she realized Sebas had bathed her while she was asleep. She could smell the faint scent of vanilla on her skin and in her hair. Carisimmi averted her eyes shyly at the idea of the butler washing her most intimate areas. "Um… Thank you for bathing me, Sebas." She said softly. "I understand your concern but as a Supreme Being, I have my responsibilities to the Tomb.

Long legs swung over the edge of the bed and carried the angel to the closet. Her wings wrapped loosely around her body to hide her nakedness as she made her way to the doors, feeling especially shy after everything that happened that morning. Her heart dropped at the sight of a certain dress but she managed to keep herself focused on the task of getting dressed for the day. Carrisimi hummed absentmindedly as she looked through the many dresses she had. She could hear Sebas walking in, no doubt to help her.

"Should I ask for a maid to be assigned to me?"

Even though her thoughts were private, Carisimmi couldn't help but feel guilty. Sebas has been nothing but kind and she dared to even consider having a maid assigned to her. Her right hand came up to stroke her ring finger in a habit she thought she'd long abandoned.

"Hey, Sebas?" She called out shyly while looking over her shoulder at her butler. "Why don't you pick out something for me to wear?" Her smile was gentle as she coveted all of her trust into that tiny little action. Trust that was much shakier beneath the surface than even she knew.

"Me, m'lady?" Sebas asked in surprise even as he walked over to her and looked at the clothes before her. Carisimmi felt small as he stood over, their height difference so much more evident without her heels. Sebas looked critically at the selection of clothes she was standing before her before choosing a dress. "This one, mlady." He chose a caped, medieval style dress with wide sleeves. The bodice was cut low enough to be considered appropriate but would still expose a generous amount of her breast. Carisimmi blushed at the subtle reminder that she was still naked. "A lovely choice, Sebas." She said as he stepped back to allow her to turn and face him.

"Would you like me to summon a maid to assist you?" He rumbled. Sebas was still unsure what would be allowed despite the odd way their relationship seemed to work. "No that won't be necessary." Carrisimi replied while relaxing her wings. "I'd prefer if you helped me." She knew she made the right decision when a smile touched the corner of his lips. The two moved in companionable silence as Sebas helped her dress. Carisimi breath hitched just a bit as Sebas's fingers brushed against her spine whilst tying the laces at the back. She tried to ignore the way her body responded to him as she watched herself in the mirror.

The dress was light and airy despite the voluminous layers of the skirt. The fabric seemed to float with the slightest shift of her body while the bodice clung tastefully to every dip and curve of her chest. The long sleeves paired with the low cut of the chest made the dress feel graceful and elegant. She didn't even mind the fact that the corset rested right beneath her wings, allowing them easy movement. The attached cape coved them easily without rubbing uncomfortably against her feathers.

"This is perfect." She turned to face her butler. "Thank you."

He merely bowed his head while resting a hand across his heart. ""It is my honor, m'lady."

Carisimmi stepped closer to him and lifted his head with a gentle hand. She looked deeply into his eyes as she willed him to see everything she felt but couldn't say. "No, Sebas. I mean thank you. For everything." Sebas seemed to understand as he took her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Your welcome, Lady Carisimmi." The two stared into each other's eyes for a moment longer before separating." "I think it's time we head to Ainz's office before I head out." She said while turning to leave her closet. "Please have the Pleiades and the twins meet me there to discuss their assignments before I leave for Carne Village." She walked out the doors and Sebas was left standing at the spot where she just was.

Sebas sighed before concentrating a specific presence within the Tomb.

"Lord Demiurge, I am in need of your assistance."

The day had been going smoothly.

The fence was coming along nicely and the relationship between the humans and goblins grew stronger with time. The two races worked in tandem to care for their home under her careful guide. Enri was proud to say that things had never been better.

"Miss Enri!"

Enri turned from the pot of stew was she stirring to face Jugem. The goblin looked so nervous as he approached, his normally proud posture containing an unusual tension. "Miss Enri, intruders have suddenly appeared in the village." Enri stiffened at his words, worry and fear creeping over her shoulders like a long forgotten friend. Memories of the soldiers' attack played in the back of her mind as she tried to steal her nerves. "Are they hostile?" She asked with more confidence than she truly possessed.

"They seem to come in peace at the moment." The goblin replied, his brows furrowed with concern. "Four females, their apparent leader introducing herself as a "Lady Carissimi Licentia".

All the negative energy left Enri in a single huff, her eyes closing in relief as she held a hand to steady her racing heart. "It's fine, Jugem." Enri said with a well hidden shudder to her voice. A relieved smile covered her face as she continued to speak. "Lady Carisimmi helped save our village not too long ago. Please, let her know I'll be right there." The goblin nodded to his leader and left to fulfill his task. Enri chuckled lightly before turning back to her stew and spooning out five bowls. Placing the bowls on a tray, she hummed to herself as she made her way to the center of the village.

She didn't even need to ask Jugem where exactly their guests were, the crowd of people ahead of her an easy giveaway. As Enri drew closer, she could hear the gentle voice of a young girl asking the crowd to move back. "Excuse me." Enri said politely as she made her way through the crowd. She had to push a bit the closer she got, those standing in the front more densely packed. "Excuse me." She said as she pushed a little harder. The crowd suddenly parted and she stumbled forward, the tray flying out of her grip. Enri watched in horror as the bowls flew towards Carisimmi and flawless white dress.

A pale, delicate hand darted and grabbed the tray and bowls in one fluid motion, not a single drop of the contents spilling. Green gauntlets extended from the wrist and led up to the kind face of a woman with glasses. Her gray eyes were like polished pieces of steel as she extended a hand to help Enri up. "Are you ok, miss?' She asked as Enri took the offered hand. "I hope you're not hurt." Carrisimi spoke up while pulling out a handkerchief to offer Enri.

"Oh no. Im fine." Enri said as an embarrassed sweatdrop traveled down her drow. "Thank you though." Enri looked curiously at the group before her. Lady Carissimi, a maid and twin dark elf sisters. "It's so nice of you to visit."

Carisimmi smiled and laid a hand on the head of the twin with the bowl cut. "I'm glad we could come. This is Mare."Mare ducked "her" head shyly behind Carrisimi's hip. "Aura." The other twin grinned and flushed her a peace sign. "And my maid Yuri Alpha." Yuri held out the tray for Enri and Enri chuckled nervously at her stumble. "I believe this is yours, miss." The maid said kindly as Enri took it.

"Eh heh. I brought some stew for us to eat." Enri said with a wry laugh. Carisimmi gave a small chuckle in turn and Enri felt all the nervousness leave her body. Carisimmi's laughter was like a gentle spring breeze, light and comforting. "We would love to try some." She answered for her little entourage. "Let's dig in."

The five of them sat at a wooden bench and began to eat under the shade of a large tree. Aura chowed down with gusto while Mare moved at a more sedate pace. Yuri waited for the other's to start before starting her own bowl, giving a slight hum of approval at the taste. Enri's eyes never left Carisimmi, her beauty and grace captivating. She made something as simple as eating potato and beef stew look like something out of a painting. Enri thought on how she must've gotten Lord Ainz's attention and how the two were meant for each other. "Lord Ainz is a very lucky man to have married you." Enri said offhandedly. Her eyes widened when Carisimmi coughed and nearly choked on her spoonful of stew. "Are you okay?" Enri said while handing her a cup of water.

Carisimmi took a sip and cleared her throat before looking at Enri with an incredulous look. "I'm sorry but married?" Carisimmi asked. "I must inform you that you're mistaken." Her voice was full of embarrassed amusement. "Lord Ainz is my brother." It was now Enri's turn to be embarrassed. "I apologize. I just assumed you two were married." She said nervously while rubbing the back of her head." The two of them laughed at the misunderstanding.

"It's quite alright." Carrisimi said while looking out on the villagers and goblins interacting. "I'm sure someone like yourself has a special some though." She said as she turned her attention back to Enri. Enri's face became flushed but the girl did manage to speak. "I do but I'm not entirely sure if he likes me back." She admitted. Carrisimi felt something stir inside of her at Enri's expression. Her voice was soft as she spoke, taking the younger's hands in her own. "If it's meant to be, it will happen. Just spend time with him and do the things he likes." Her voice was laid with some thinly veiled emotion Enri couldn't place. "But make sure you still have what makes you happy and share with him. Love is very tricky but it's like this village. It can survive anything and grow with a little work and care."

Aura listened to everything Carisimmi said with rapt attention. Her was advice on romance from the lips of a Supreme Being! Lady Carisimmi was so wise.

Enri looked at their joined hands before standing up and pulling Carisimmi into a hug from across the table. Mare yelped as Carisimmi was hugged but restrained himself from moving to defend her. "Thank you Lady Carissimi." Carisimmi's eyes were wide with shock but they relaxed as she gently patted the girls back with a fondness in her heart. Was this how her mother felt when she asked for dating advice all those years ago?

The two stayed in that position until the goblin, Jugem, rushed over to them. "Miss Enri, a group of adventurers have escorted a male named Nfirea here." He said while cautiously eyeing their guests. "Shall we let them in?"

Enri squeaked and released Carisimmi to straighten her clothes. "Of course." She said with a slightly pitched voice. Her head turned to Carisimmi with a smile. "Would you like to stay while I greet them?" Carisimmi took in the way Enri fidgeted and the mention of the male's name and put two and two together. Rising from her seat with a smile, she accepted the invitation.

"I'd be much obliged. I haven't had the chance to meet any adventurers from around these parts." She said she moved around the table. Looking over her shoulder, the angel spoke to her escorts. "Why don't you take this time to explore and get to know the villagers."

"Lord Ainz and I have decided to keep this village as a liaison with the outside world." Carissimi Messaged to the trio. "Try to establish a better relationship with the goblins before we leave."

"Of course, M'lady." Yuri said before rising to clear away their bowls. Aura gave a playful wink and thumbs up before dragging Mare away with her to chat up a group of children that were playing with some goblins. "Slow down Aura." The poor boy mumbled as he was dragged away.

Enri giggles at the antics of the twins alongside Carissimi. "They're quite the pair." The young chief said as she led her guest to meet the adventurers. "They are." Carissimi agreed. The two of them rounded a corner and Carissimi felt her heart stop at the sight of gleaming black armor. She didn't even get the chance to excuse herself when Enri grabbed her wrist and waved to the blonde on the wagon.

"Hello Niferea!" She called out while gently pulling the angel closer to the group. Nabe's eyes widened a smidge when she spotted the angel but said nothing. Not that she needed to. "Nifirea, meet Lady Carissimi." Enri introduced the angel. Carissimi could only give a polite dip of the chin as she tried to avoid looking at her guild mate and maid. "She and her brother Lord Ainz saved our village."

"A pleasure to meet you." She said with a soft smile while holding out a hand to shake. A blush of equal parts amusement and embarrassment stained her cheeks when the archer pushed forward and took her hand to press a kiss to the back of it. "So you're the famous Lady Carissimi?" He asked with a flirtatious wink. "I must say, Nabe's description pales in comparison to the real thing." Simultaneous groans of embarrassment erupted from the adventurers, Momon even going as far as to facepalm while Ninya could only shake his head.

Carissimi blinked in confusion at the archer. Momon could only give a sigh of deep internal exasperation as he walked over to his friend and kneeled before her. "Greetings, M'lady." He said while laying a hand over his heart. "Forgive Lukrut if he has offended you. He is, sadly, an insatiable flirt." The group shot Lukrut a dirty look while the archer tensed nervously. With gentle hands, Momon held Carissimi's and pressed his helm to her fingers.

Carissimi was quick to catch on though she had to suppress a tiny laugh. "Of course." She said with a gentle smile. "I'm just glad to see that my favored knight and his companion have made so many friends." Her head tilted in as her eyes closed in such a softed manner that everyone couldnt help but relax in her presence. It was like coming home after a long battle to see all the things you fought for safe and sound. It felt like the safety and warmth of your mother on a cold winter's day.

It was like nothing could ever hurt you.

Nabe watched as the other's fell under the same trance she found herself everyday. Lord Ainz was the unshakable foundation where Nazarick resided: deeper the closer you got to the heart and shelter with impenetrable walls. He was the tomb that laid deep within the comfort of the dark. But Carrisimi was hearth and sky. No matter how deep you travelled you would never feel the cold. The sun would always shine even through the dark soil that kept them safe and hidden away. Come night or day she would always be there to guide them home.

"It is a pleasure to meet you all." Carrisimi continued while allowing her gaze to travel across the group. Lukrut blushed when her gaze landed on him, his heart pounding in his ears when she offered him a sweet smile. The blonde bowed awkwardly at the waist and apologized. "My apologies Lady Carissimi. I meant no disrespect, truly." His eyes were shut tightly as he waited for a response. He could feel a presence above him as he continued to bow then a feather light touch on his chin. Soft hands lifted his head to resume a standing position.

"There's nothing to forgive." Carrisimi said softly as she looked Lukrut in the eye. They were barely five inches apart as she spoke, close enough that he could catch the faint scent of her perfume. "I'm just happy Momo has such good friends in you."

Lukrut could only stammer as his blush darkened and spread to his ears. His heart was pounding in his ears as the fingers left his chin and Carrisimi stepped back to look at the group on a whole.

Moving suavely, Carisimmi accessed her inventory without the adventurer's noticing and retrieved four coins. "I'd like you to have these." She said while handing one to each of the Swords. "As a token of my favor and thanks." The coins were platinum with a Devil's Head orchid on one side and her crest on the other. Sounds of awe and thanks rolled through the group as they accepted the coins.

Nfirea looked on with a curious smile as he watched on. He noticed how close the dark knight stood to the lady in white as she conversed with the others. It was odd to see Momon stay so close to someone other than Nabe. Even then, this was a distance he himself closed instead of the hovering Nabe always did. A small bit of jealousy touched his spirit when he watched Enri laugh at something Carrisimi said and move a little closer to her. Momon was such a withdrawn character but he was able to get the affections of the one he cared for.

Must be nice to be able to confess your feelings so easily.

"Lady Carissimi, will you be staying for much longer?" Nfirea asked. "I'd love to hear more about how you saved the village."

And ask about the red potion.

Carisimmi's head turned back to look at him and for a split second, Nifrea could have sworn that her gaze was piercing through his soul. He blinked and met the softened gaze of her green eyes.

"I'm afraid not. There is still much to do back home." She said while looking around. "Aura! Mare! Yuri!" She called out. Nfirea startled when the cart gave a soft jolt before a rad and white blur flipped over his head. A young dark elf landed next to Carisimmi while another jogged around the group to join them. "Aura you need to calm down." She whined while clutching her staff nervously. "Mare is correct." A soft voice approached. A maid appeared from what seemed to be midair. "That is not proper behavior to display before our lady." Aura just rubbed her head nervously whilst averting her gaze.

"It's fine, Yuri." Carisimmi said while petting the children's hair. "They're still young." Turning back to Enri, she bowed her head to the young chief and the others followed suit. "We thank you for your hospitality." Summoning a Gate , she prepared to leave.

"Thank you for the advice!" Enri called out as she walked through the portal, the others calling out farewells as well. Lukrut waved at the retreating figure in white with a blush until the portal completely disappeared.

"I think I'm in love…"

Carisimmi smiled as she departed and found herself in Ainz's office. She was shocked to see Demiurge waiting there though. "Demiurge?" She said confused. "I thought you were at the farm?" She said while waving her escorts away. "I was but I thought I'd come and invite you to lunch at the farm and you could inspect the productions afterward." He purred while holding out an arm for her to take.

Demiurge had already been thinkin about ways to ask his young mistress out on a "date" but after his conversation with Sebas earlier, he thought this was the perfect opportunity. He would present her with one of her favorite meals and take her on a tour of the farm. Her demonic side would feel so at ease in a conducive environment and allow her to relax. It was perfect.

Carisimmi blinked at the invitation but smiled anyway. She'd never been on a farm before and some nature seemed like a good idea. "I would love to." She responded while accepting the offered arm. She completely missed Sephiroth hiding behind a pillar watching them with an empty expression.

Sephiroth watched as Demiurge led his creator away for their "date". The elder demon was smooth, he'd give him that. But he took things much too literally at times. While he did allow him to paint the idea of a date to be something of higher grandeur than it really was, Sephiroth couldn't help but find it somewhat endearing. This was how you went about earning someone's love. You get to know them. You woo them.

"Um, Sephiroth?"

Sephiroth looked over his shoulder to see Aura standing there nervously. She was avoiding eye contact, something she never did from what little interactions he had with her. A slight flush covered her cheeks and she was fiddling with her gloves. Sephiroth raised a single brow in fond exasperation as he put the clues together. He could tell it wasn't anything serious, just a young girl confusing love with curiosity. Just another part of growing up. Sephiroth turned to face her fully and nodded his head in a go ahead.

"Is it ok if I hang out with you for a little while?"

For a brief moment, he is reminded of when he and Karma first emerged. The raw innocence of someone seeing you for the first time. While he had no intention of encouraging this little crush, he had no reason to crush her heart. She would grow out of it. But he could at least give her a friend.

Sephiroth offered her a small smile and held out his hand a gesture that meant follow. Aura beamed up at him and he knew he did the nice thing. Aura chattered endlessly as he led them through the halls of the ninth floor. Her boundless energy seemed somewhat tamed as she tried to follow the advice she got earlier that day. But she couldn't help the way her heart fluttered as she walked beside the incubus. She watched him out of the corner of her eye as she followed alongside him. He was so much taller than her, the high heels of his boots adding to his height and strides as he walked. Despite how hard it should have been to walk, his steps were even and unbroken as the gentle taps of his heels set a soothing rhythm. His hair glowed under the lights like the soft clouds of sunset while his bangs hung between neon eyes. Aura blushed at her thought and ducked her head when Sephiroth glanced at her.

Sephiroth stopped at the bottom of some stairs and Aura finally noticed they were in the throne room. "What are we doing here?" She questioned her companion before following him up the steps towards the throne. Her confusion grew when she saw him walk behind it. Going around the throne herself, she noticed a giant sloping hole in the ground behind it. "What is this?" She asked as she inspected the entrance. She couldn't even see the bottom of it. Sephiroth said nothing and just jumped in. Aura could do nothing but follow. Her cheers of excitement echoed through the tunnels as they descended, She slid down the slope at growing speeds while Sephiroth skated down the smooth passage.

Sephiroth made it to the bottom first and landed on his feet with ease. Aura came barreling after him and managed to stick the landing as well, though not as gracefully. Aura looked around at the massive cavern they landed in with awe. "Where are we…?" She breathed, her voice echoing off the walls. Sephiroth obviously said nothing as he started to walk away, Aura tripping over herself to follow. Her eyes widened in excitement as they passed by multiple piles of bones. Something white caught her peripherals and she nearly screamed when she turned to it fully.

Snowflake laid silently and perfectly still. Too still. Stepping closer with an air of caution, Aura held her hand out in front of one of his nostrils. Feeling no breath, she knocked on the scales of his snout. A dull tapping sound came from it and the realisation came to her. This was a shed skin. The skin easily towered over her and stretched out further than she could see in the poorly lit cavern. A quiet hissing came from behind her and she whirled around to see Sephiroth stroking the snout of the real Snowflake. A shiver of excitement went down her spine at the sight of the massive snake. She'd laid out many treats to hopefully lure him down to the sixth floor to play with her but he never took the bait. But here she was now. In his den.

This was so cool.

Sephiroth stroked the smooth scales with a fond expression. With Snowflake, things were simple. Neither could speak but there was an understanding between wasnt alot but it was enough. Summoning two jars from his inventory, Sephiroth held one two a gleaming fang the size of his arm and gently massaged the venom gland behind it. Filling the jar, he repeated the process with the other fang. Aura was amazed by the level of trust between the two.

And she felt herself fall a little further in "love".
