[b]Niti Laevis[/b] 

Niti was slowly calming down as he hugged Yuuka’s legs. He always did prefer the Wood Dragon Slayer among his teammates; although, he wasn’t sure why. Maybe it’s because she was closest to his age or that she was the only other that wasn’t an S-Classed Mage in his Lamia Scale team? Or it could just be the smell of flowers that complimented his soapy scent. Well, whatever the reason, he was content distracting his mind with Yuuka’s company while ignoring her discomfort. 

However, Jeanne appeared, walking right through the doors. Niti tensed against Yuuka’s leg, offering the Archangel a welcoming yet anxious smile. He broke out into a nervous sweat when Jeanne started to approach him and started to reach into her bag.  

AH CRAP. IT CAN’T BE! Niti quickly shielded his eyes. His attempts were all in vain as a delicate scent of sweetness wafted by. Unable to resist such lures, he peered between his fingers. A perfectly baked cupcake with luscious buttercream and cake so red was held in her pale hands.

His smile faltered as he reluctantly took the gift. “I-- Oh, Jeanne… You shouldn’t have.” And she [i]really[/i] shouldn’t have as tears started to flood from his eyes once again. The cupcake was not the only thing weighing down on his hand. “I… I didn’t save you. I mean, you pretty much healed yourself...” Well, to be more specific, Jeanne’s weird glowing locket did it. With Anna’s help. 

He inwardly cursed whatever higher forces were stabbing at his wounded pride with sugary baked goods. His sweet tooth was itching for a bite while his pride just wanted to throw the cupcake at Anna’s face. Stupid Anna with her stupid secret! With torn glances between Jeanne and Yuuka when the Wood Dragon Slayer asked what's the matter, Niti lightly bit his lips. 

“I can't say, Yuuka, but... I don’t deserve this cupcake!” A waterfall of tears streamed from his eyes. He started to run off once again in a dramatic manner; although the cupcake was still in his hands. “I’ll heal you next time, Jeanne! I promise!”
