Shalltear couldn't help but roll her eyes in amusement as she looked up from the game she was playing on her phone at Enuma and Hermione, who were still playing Battleship since a few minutes after the Twins entered the Familiar Forest, using a rather wide tree stump as a table. The reason why she rolled her eyes in amusement was because both of the younger Devils kept hamming it up as they played. It didn't happen often, but Enuma liked to occasionally ham it up when she wasn't in a situation where she needed to be serious, particularly when she was playing either a video or board game with Rias, but she usually restrained herself from doing so due to the fact that everyone didn't always tolerate or play along with her antics, which made her hamminess something of a rare occurrence. In this particular instance of the Red Duchess being hammy, she was acting as if her moves in the game were either artillery strikes or precise bomb runs, which Hermione was playing along with by hamming up her moves in the game in the same way. The two girls had definitely grown closer over the course of the summer, not close enough for Enuma to share anything truly significant about herself (more specifically her life before being taken in by the Gremorys), but close enough that the redhead was comfortable enough around Hermione to let her guard down somewhat. While it wasn't even close as much as she could be with Shalltear, who's lap Enuma could peacefully take a nap in, the Demon-Ship was slowly but surely earning her King's trust.
As the Vampire launched the can of sardines at the structure of the level from the slingshot, completely destroying the structure as the mighty eagle crashed into it, Enuma made her move against her Knight's fleet.
"I hereby call for artillery strike on the coordinates of D-2!" Exclaimed Enuma before whistling and making the noise of something exploding.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but the only thing that artillery strike of yours blew up was water!" Replied Hermione in an almost equally hammy fashion. "Also… target locked. Firing main cannon on gridspace F-4!"
"Damn it! You just sank my frigate! Night Witches! Retaliate with a bombardment of gridspace R-4!"
"Verdammt. That was one of my aircraft carriers. B-17s… release your cargo on coordinates, C-3."
"Close but no booty, matey."
The Twins returned from the Forest with their respective Familiars with them just in time to catch Enuma's declaration that Hermione hadn't hit anything, which the redhead made by talking like a pirate. Which drew looks of confusion from the Twins and the newly acquired Familiars, Aura carrying Manny in her arms while Mare had Alice sitting on his head. Once Enuma realized that the Twins were back and had a Familiar each, the redhead took a good look at the Familiars.
"A Frost-Boar piglet and a Waddling Cacti. Interesting choice."
"I didn't really choose Manny here. He chose me." Retorted Aura in response to Enuma's comment.
"The same thing happened to me with Alice here." Replied Mare, causing the Waddling Cacti sitting on his head to perk up slightly and make its signature noise akin to someone chewing apple slices.
"Hey! I'm not judging. How'd you think I managed to get my adorable Cydaea? She chose me."
"Enuma. That eight legged terror is one of the few things that gives me nightmares." Deadpanned Shalltear. "The only thing besides that eight legged terror that gives me nightmares nowadays is the fact that Albedo the Succubus is still alive and not six feet under like her sisters."
"Albedo."
"The."
"Succubus?" Asked Aura, Mare and Hermione, with the Demon-Ship being the one to finish the sentence/question.
"… she's an old enemy of mine who I've fought multiple times throughout the centuries. We were, back then, equals in strength, power and skill. And while I'll admit that she's a strong warrior and worthy opponent… her personality and other things still make me shiver in discomfort."
"Such as?"
"Do you really wanna know, Hermione?"
"Yes."
"Let's just say that the tamest thing about that bloated gorilla is the fact that she's a massive sadomasochist. And she's called the Succubus for a good reason. I might be bi and have a thing for the dead, but not even I would want to sleep with her unless she's very dead and has been dead for at least two hours."
"Okay. One, eww. Two, and I'm gonna regret asking this, why at least two hours?"
"Two words. Rigor. Mortis."
"BOTH OF YOU! THAT'S ENOUGH! Aura, Mare."
"Hmm/Yeah." Were the Twins' respective responses to their King addressing them.
"Let's commence with the Bonding Ritual, officially make your new friends your Familiars and then return to the Gremory Estate in time for dinner. It's tacos this time and I'm starving."
