Corvina

Time: Evening
Location: Healing Center
Interaction: @helo Cade, @Tae, Elsea, @AliveFalling - Ezeri
Mention n/a

Corvina was quiet as they arrived at the healing center. The rabbit boy and Cade had been brought into a room together next to another occupied room. Corvina and Elsea had been shooed into the hallway to give the healers some time. Ezeri had told them they’d catch up with them later so it was just them two. She turned to Elsea and gave her a soft smile, folding her arms, “You okay?” The past few days had been overwhelming. At last they were finally in River Port. She folded her arms and awaited a reply and tried to ignore the scent of fire and smoke emanating form them. They were going to need to change and shower soon or else they would attract attention.

Darius & Shade

Location: Blacksmith > Shakey Dock

---

The tall red-haired elf woman stared down at the weapons intensely. She ignored the shopkeeper and picked up a few weapons. What would be best for the Little Phoenix? She turned to find Rocco and Katanna belligerently arguing over the melee weapons and smirked. The two were into weaponry and had been looking forward to coming here. Shade, being the merciful woman, had agreed to come. They needed more supplies anyways.

”Rocco does not like the spear. Rocco prefers club or dagger.” Rocco argued vehemently as he stared down at her. Katanna sighed as her ears twitched with annoyance. She shook her head at him as she began to pick up bows and examine them closely. Rocco scowled at her when she did not reply immediately.

”Rocco, you can’t just club people to death at long range.” She scowled at him and began turning the spear in her hand. ”You’ll exhaust yourself like -”

”Rocco does not talk about it!” The orc whirled around to face Katanna who raised her eyebrows. He calmed down, seeing her expression. He didn’t want to pick a fight or stand out.

Shade turned to glare at their raised voices and the two immediately hushed up and continued to shop. Next, they noticed a male with dark skin and red eyes. Shade watched him with curiosity. She vaguely remembered him from the ball and he had pledged his support to Risa. How interesting…. ”Hello there,” She greeted Darius.

"Sup… Oh and don't mind me, I'm not entirely sure about what I want." He smiled warmly at the three and figured could maybe add something to the conversation. Plus, he hadn't spoken to an orc since leaving Skar. "I guess if he has a good defense too, range won't matter, right? Winning doesn't always mean beating someone down. Sometimes it's about who is left to keep fighting on the battlefield… at least I think." Darius spoke with little confidence as he scratched the back of his neck. "Name's Darius by the way."

Shade listened to Darius speak with fascination. An interesting concept, she thought. ”My friend Kat here is pretty good at offense actually and Rocco is defense.” Darius looked between the two, noting what made sense to him. This woman made it seem as if they had fought together often enough to have a good system going for them.

Shade smiled at Katanna and walked over to pat her on the back, to which the feline withheld a scowl and forced a smile. They both understood what she needed from them. ”Rocco is a preferable weapons man. I appreciate that. Gotta defend yourself somehow. Orcs are rather interesting aren't they?” Rocco nodded silently, unwilling to reply and offset Shade’s mood and kept to himself.

"Yeah orcs are pretty incredible when it comes to fighting." He commented, eyeing Rocco again. They were so huge.

”What brings you here today?” She began to buy items, such as a whip and shield. The shield looked big enough for her little Phoenix.

"To this forge or the port?" Darius cleverly asked, but he also didn't want to give her answer she didn't want. Shade didn’t bother to reply yet.

Katanna and Rocco continued to shop, although they paid attention to Darius. ”You know, that was a nice concept by the way.” Katanna told Darius with a smirk as she eyed a long sword. She picked it up to examine and glanced at him. ”Know how to swordfight?” She grinned as she turned it over a few times and decided to buy the sword.

"Not really. I just know you stick them with the pointy end." He chuckled. "I don't even know which weapon would be best for me… Maybe you can help? You all seem pretty skilled." He said as he stepped in a spot between the three, and closer to Shade. A faint demonic scent reached the keen senses of Shade and Katanna.

The woman turned to stare at Darius with a coy grin. Kat was eyeing him now, her curiosity piqued. ”Well,” Shade smiled at him and began to buy quivers of arrows and bolts and mulled it over. ”Kat here can help you with that.” Shade fell silent to allow Katanna to take over, and she quickly turned to face him.

”Are you an offensive or defensive fighter?” Katanna inquired while beginning to stuff weapons and other items into her backpack. She also slid the sword into a sheath on her back.

"Uhhh…" He didn't know what he was. Thinking back to his only two real fights, he just did whatever he could.

”Do you have any magic? You can embed your weapons with your magic depending on what it is.” His eyes widened as he wasn't sure how to answer initially.

"Yeah I do actually, but not something to add to a weapon. It's actually the reason why I'm here in the first place. I need some steel, but a weapon easy to pick up on so I can fight off any bandits on the road, you know." He bullshitted with a smile while hoping his explanation would suffice. "I'm strong… almost as strong as an orc. Maybe a...uhh." Darius stopped speaking abruptly as he made an uncomfortable face towards the ground.

Shade watched as Rocco came down the aisle way to stare down at Darius after his response. ”Darius.” What a strange name… ”Spear good. Rocco does not like spear, but Kat uses it. Enchant it so it comes back to you. No run or seek to find it. Bow good for long range to scare off bandits. Rocco prefers clubs or warhammer. Not strong enough for most.” Katanna looked over with approval at him and nodded. He continued speaking while also making purchases of various weapons and armor, ”Dagger good for close range. Stab in eyes. No vision, no fight.” Darius nodded, but smiled as he looked up again. Malgormuun did not like the weapons here, more so, the smith.

"Now you've given me more options, big guy. Hmm…But, I think you've helped me figure out that I'm not ready to choose a weapon yet… I guess I'll just stick to using my good ol' magic. Thanks though. Like really. I could have spent cash on something useless." He smiled.

Rocco nodded to Darius and paid for his weapons without conversing more. Katanna and Shade had already finished and were waiting for him. He joined them and looked over as Shade began to speak. ”Nice to meet you, Darius. Good luck with your magic.” She waved to him and exited the shop with Katanna and Rocco following behind. His explanation was interesting. The ability to speak without giving everything away was a gift that so few possessed. Most people rambled on for ages and she hated it. Shade gestured to the duo and they strode down the street, making sure to stay out of other people’s ways. With Rocco, that wasn't a difficult task to accomplish. The fear of Rocco from the Riverport citizens was delightful.

"Hey, wait up! I never got your name! And I just have to buy you three drinks after pretty much doing me a solid. I insist " Darius took Shade's hand in his with a big cheesy smile. He also did not find it quite safe to travel alone at night, and these three seemed okay, plus they could fight.

Shade paused when Darius’ voice reached her ears. Eyebrows raised, the Elven woman turned to face him. His words made her smirk, despite her irritation. Why did he follow them? Didn’t he have friends? He looked like a lost puppy. A stray dog….

Katanna and Rocco shared a look, though they remained silent. ”Sure Darius. That would be great. The Shakey Dock is a great place for drinks. You shouldn’t travel alone especially if you’re worried about bandits.” She moved to the side to allow him to walk with them. ”Now that we’re out of the shop, I have a few questions.” She paused which allowed a trio of frightened elves to pass by. Shade eyed them, then turned to Darius. They weren’t her little Phoenix. ”Why are you in River Port, Darius?”

"Looking for a friend. A short white-skinned demon girl, with a long tail. Her name's Myra. What about you three? I have a guess it's for the r-word." Darius' tone was less chipper than before.

Shade listened to him and became thoughtful. ”I haven’t seen her, sorry; although I will keep a lookout for her. I’m sorry to hear you were separated from your friend. My name is Leia, and this is Katanna and Rocco.” Shade paused, glancing sideways at Kat and Rocco who both nodded eagerly. Then, as Darius spoke of the ‘r-word’, excitement rushed through her as she studied him. The frown. Oh, what a great night it was becoming…

”We are here to find our friend, but we didn’t catch her name because the demon came out and separated us. Brown hair, green eyes, and had a dress and mask adorned with flames. A sweetheart, and also…” Shade lowered her voice for only their group to hear. color=FF8C00]”...a human. You can understand our concern for her, I hope. We want to save her from the rebellion if she’s involved in it.”

"Save her? I… I haven't seen a girl like that, but…" His expression became cold, not masking how truly felt. "If she's involved in the rebellion, there's no use in saving her. You gonna drag her away or something?" Darius chuckled as he jested to lift his own mood.

Shade watched his coldness with curiosity and smiled. ”No, we want to keep her safe and see if she wants to go home. Nobody should die for a war they don’t believe in, humans especially.” She paused glancing at him. ”Not fond of it, huh?”

"Not in the slightest, but other people should be free to do what he wants. They want to stay, let them stay. They just can't cry and complain when they wind up in dire straits. Fuck 'em, I say." His words were icy, making Shade grin. What a fascinating young man, or so he seemed by his appearance. Pointed ears, red eyes; they could have been color changers, but the way he spoke on weapons and magic wasn’t familiar like her kin.

As the group finally arrived at the Shakey Dock, Darius proceeded to order drinks while Shade nudged Katanna and Rocco forward to sit down at a table. "Four siren kisses for the group!" Darius ordered the strongest drink as a courtesy. When then shots came by, they each grabbed one which prompted Darius to make a quick toast. "To a good night for Darius, Kat, Rocco, and Leia." Shade smiled as she drowned her shot and looked at Darius.

She grinned at him and rested her head on her folded hands. Katanna and Rocco both took their shots as well, only becoming a bit dazed. Fortunately, they all had a high tolerance so it wouldn’t make them loopy. They both remained silent, but occasionally nodded and smiled at Darius; or tried to, at least.

”Thank you Darius. I appreciate it.” Shade then added, ”And to more good nights in the future.” She paused as a waiter walked by and then leaned in to whisper for only them to hear, ”And the end of the rebellion.”

"I think I could agree to every bit of that!" Darius returned a smile as he immediately felt the effects of the Siren Kiss. "Whoa! This drink hits!"

Shade laughed and watched him. ”Are you okay?” She glanced at Rocco and Katanna who were quiet. She nodded to them, and the two ordered food the next time the waiter came around. After he left, a gleam entered her eyes and she turned back to Darius. ”Think you’re done for the night, lightweight?” Shade jokingly nudged his arm. ”I didn’t know demons were such softies.”

He snickered. "And I thought all elves were assholes." He laughed. "Cut me some… slack."

Shade started to laugh, but it quickly fell when he spoke next. Frozen, she raised her eyebrows and then took a deep breath to collect herself. ”What…” Rocco began to say when Katanna kicked him under the table. He growled, but didn’t continue speaking. The two shared a glance and they fell silent.

Finally, Shade collected herself enough to smirk and let out a hearty laugh. ”A playful demon, huh? I like your spunk.” She watched as the waiter delivered their food. She grinned as she began to munch on the food and gestured for the others to dive in. Rocco and Katanna didn’t need any encouragement and began to eat quickly. ”My treat for your treat.”

He grinned as kept his crimson eyes on her despite reaching for some food. "Then another treat maybe?" He said flirting before giggling.

Shade stared at him and started to laugh. Was he serious? Katana and Rocco choked on their drinks and stared with shock. She watched as Katanna took a napkin to clean herself up and also gave one to Rocco to help. Shade leaned in towards Darius with a grin. ”Maybe I ought to get to know you better. After all, all the good things in life aren’t free.” She pulled away after saying it with her own flirtatious smile.

Darius narrowed his eyes with a smirk. "Ok. Deal." He said confidently. "Know me better… Leia."

Shade rested her chin back onto her folded hands with a coy grin. ”A deal for me as well.”

Belladonna

Time: Evening
Location: River Port Healing Center
Interaction: @Helo Valok @Princess Malachi

Belle remained unresponsive to Valok, eyebrows raised. This man lived his life on orders. How irritating would that be? Valok didn’t live for himself, only for the next order and commander. Her heart strings tugged for him. She watched as he stood up and approached the fairies. When he returned and spoke, Belle couldn’t help but crack a rare smile. He hadn’t understood what she meant and she found it… entertaining. Wait, had he just made her laugh? Her eyebrows furrowed as a giggle escaped her. What was happening and why? This was gross. She sounded like those annoying fairies. Belle quickly became neutral once more and managed to smirk.

”That is something you and I can agree on,” She replied and added in a low tone for only him to hear. ”I’m not used to them.. More so Elves and Demis.” She said as the fairies brought them over the water. She turned to take the cup of water as she heard footsteps approach and saw Malachi. Belle took a sip and listened to his orders. It pained her inside to have to take them, although he was keeping her safe and protected.

Belle felt relief fill her when he announced they would have a proper meal. Still, she eyed the bun with curiosity and regretfully turned to the dress. She fought a grimace and remained silent. Next Belle quickly moved into another room to change and looked for a knife. Without regret, Belle cut the edges of it so the dress’ hem came to her knees. She couldn’t imagine if she was attacked how she would fight in this dress. Afterwards, Belle took the fabric edges and used it to pull her hair up into a messy bun and tucked Elleta’s necklace into the dress. When she returned, Belle offered Malachi another one of her rare smiles. ”Thank you.” It was the only thing she could manage to say.

Belle took her bun out of the bag casually, trying to envision it as a cinnabon. God, she could kill for one now. Trying to remain neutral, she hesitantly bit into it. Then her eyes widened as the honey and cinnamon flavor filled her mouth and she looked at Malach with wide eyes. Holy shit this is good. Remaining silent, she suddenly began wolfing it down. She was careful with the honey and used a nearby towel to wipe her fingers off. Belle couldn’t help but wonder if Valok had possibly had a point.

Belladonna

Time: Evening
Location: River Port Healing Center
Interaction: @Helo Valok

Belladonna glanced at Valok as he spoke. He was right, it was way too bright in here. She cringed a little as she stood up. She moved over to sit by Valok’s side with a faint grimace. ”Lower the lights a little, fairy girl.” She told the fairy who quickly obeyed her command and dimmed the lights. She rubbed her temples and pinched the bridge of her nose to keep her cool. Belle looked at Valok after some thought. ”I don't like being here. I'm game to leave whenever Malachi returns. And this whole day has been stupid, hasn't it? I'm ready for a drink.”

Fairies were easily becoming the worst company she had so far in Avalia. In the background she could hear them fawning over Avenger, but pushed it out of her mind. They were joyfully giggling and hadn’t stopped talking. How were they so genuinely happy? Were their lives that simple and peaceful? She couldn’t stand how they could have so much energy. At the moment she’d be fine if she slept for the next month. ”So what do you want to do after this? You feel any better - are you hungry?” She ignored her stomach rumbling and focused on him. He’d been critically injured, not her, and she wasn’t going to be a little bitch about it. A cut on her side and hunger and dehydration weren’t unfamiliar to her.

After a moment, she leaned in and whispered, ”Are all fairies this annoying?” She grimaced at their loud laughter. Belle almost contemplated praying that the rest of the rebels weren’t going to be this annoying.

Lucia smiled at the dragon as he introduced himself. Then, her smile slowly faded and was replaced by a frown. That hadn’t been in her intention; Lucia had seen people eavesdropping and had wanted to keep the princess safe. She opened her mouth to speak when the next dragon joined the conversation. At least he hadn’t told them to shoo. She turned to Leon with furrowed brows and an apology in her eyes. Had she made a bad impression on her too? She shuffled her feet. Way to go Lucia, she thought. However, she saw Risa smile up at her and wrap her arms around her. Lucia returned the hug with surprise, having expected disappointment from the young girl.

The fairy’s words were moving. She was sweeter than cake. Before Lucia could quite speak up, the girl continued to turn to the dragonborns and defend her. Lucia’s excitement was palpable. She had to withhold her glee though as not to overwhelm them. She linked arms with Leon with a wink and started walking. ”Thank you,” Her voice was quiet so only the group could hear. She fell silent as they passed people and finally were a safe distance away. Her blue eyes lit up with passion and determination as she began readying her reply. She glanced at Leon, then turned back to the Princess and dragonborns.

”I am on your side and want to bring Aklenroth down more than anything. We are here waiting for the rebels. We also received a note that said meeting hall at 2pm. Was that your doing?” She then continued to speak. ”I was partially involved with the DROMS, although I wasn’t instrumental to the process, I was tasked with finding the humans once they were summoned.” Her mind’s eye filled with memories of the night and tears threatened to boil over. She blinked them away and didn’t let it stop her. ”I lost some friends in the process although I know they’re looking down at us though and rooting for us!” She glanced at Leon, wary of his response and studied him carefully.

Belladonna

Time: Evening
Location: River Port Healing Center
Interaction: @Helo Valok

Belle sat on the bed and avoided eye contact with the fairies. Being healed and helped were strange to her. In the Hunters, she usually bandaged her wounds herself and sucked it up. There hadn’t been time for pitying or healing. She had broken her arm once during a pursuit and continued to escape despite it. She glanced at Valok and could tell he felt similarly. What a strange yet similar pair they were. She chuckled from the irony. Once they finished the healing business, she thanked them. Belle curiously watched as the strange glow began to ebb away. Life with the Hunters would’ve been easier with that. She sighed and looked down to find Avenger pecking at the bed with his beach. She cracked a rare smile and picked him up gently.

”He’s SO cute.”

Belle jumped as she turned to find one of the healers with red hair and blue eyes, addressing them. She grimaced at the loud noise and sighed. This was something she’d have to overcome. Avenger was adorable, and it would, unfortunately, attract attention which last thing she needed. Belle withheld a groan.

”Yeah.” She replied and pet his head gently. Avenger turned to cuddle up against her and Belle regretted her actions. What did she do now? ”Keep your voice down. I have a headache.” She told the fairy who looked at her with dismay, but nodded and quietly began speaking to her friend. Her head was throbbing and she knew if she didn’t eat or drink mead within the next hour, she might self-combust.

”You alright over there, Valok?” Belle called to Valok as she leaned forward and tilted her head. He’d been more critically injured than her and he looked lost. She understood to a degree how he felt. Kindness, concern, compassion; all foreign emotions to Belle that unfortunately were being shared in the room. It made her sick inside and she couldn’t wait for Malachi to return and leave. She didn’t know how to reply and it was bothering her. Belle wished desperately that Torvi and Bowyn were safe and here. She couldn't wait to reunite with them.

Artemis

Time: Evening
Location: River Kingdom, Town Hall Dungeon
Interaction: N/A
Music

The rest of the afternoon proved to be entertaining and yet dreadful. The appearance of the narcissistic bastard had caused her temporary entertainment. She had managed to remain above the waiting sorrow. Though she hated the muzzle, she had been glad nobody had seen or heard her giggles. The humor from Helio only proved that there were fragments of him in there. She wished she could reach him, but she knew it would be near impossible. She refused to give up on him though. This was her problem to fix. The fruits of her betrayal had given her scars inside she knew might never heal. Artemis took several deep breaths. Now she sat in the Town Hall dungeon and was sitting in a tub of water. The conditions of the dungeon were disgusting and she wished to never see the likes of it again. Her clothing was laying on her dirty cot and within reach if she needed them fast. Her tail was half submerged in the water which was refreshing, while the tip of it was out. She felt humiliated, but reminded herself she’d been through worse.

Thankfully it seemed Risa and Kyran had escaped. What she had found interesting was the tension between Umber and Azriel. She hadn’t let her thoughts wander in case that dumbass demon had been nearby. The bitch’s flirting with Helio made her roll her eyes and internally vomit. She had managed daggers in her eyes and remained silent otherwise; she wasn’t giving her the satisfaction. Her gaze had flickered from Umber breaking one of the fairy’s wings and back to Azriel and was sure she knew a way to return the favor. Artemis refrained from smiling in case anyone noticed and kept a neutral expression upon her face.

She sighed as she adjusted her position and wished she could shove the demon into a small ass cage and force it to sit in the sunlight. One way or another, growing up, she had been caged, be it physically or mentally. She was tired of it. There was one person to blame for this and she would be damned if she didn’t help bring him down. Artemis knew she had to bide her time in order to free herself. What she had observed from Helio was he was narcissistic, unpredictable, moody, sadistic, and also exceedingly cocky. She was aware he knew of her strengths and the muzzle had only stopped one of them. She wanted to hum to herself, but it had only caused her to nearly be tortured. That wouldn’t go over too well, not after enduring a near decade of torture and abuse by that piece of shit Dark Elf.

Instead, she began envisioning the most excruciating ways of revenge if she managed to reach her goal. The rebels were in River Port; she wasn’t far from there. She knew it would be wiser to go down into the water, but that would be a cowardly, selfish move and she didn’t want to be that person anymore. It was logical though. She wanted to protect Risa and Kryan, help the rebellion, and take Aklenroth down. It was the only thing keeping her from going ballistic at the moment. Artemis took several more deep breaths to calm herself. All she needed was patience and she wasn’t a patient person; so to her it was like listening to Terneus talk for hours.

Besides, was her family alive still? Did they even care? Had her kingdom crumpled, or were they prospering? She felt intense homesickness unlike before. She missed her seashell bed and the sea. Swimming for hours at dusk and dawn with nothing but the stars and moons to stare down and watch her. To swim with Orion, Aqua, and Nedia. Artemis swallowed and took a deeper breath. She had to hang on in order for them all.

Inventory at home: 2 Dresses, adventurer outfit, 8 mood bracelets gray coat, 2 spheres, 1 travel shelter, ruddy apple, round rindley old cheese, flask of cider, round of dark bread, 1 hoverboard, blanket, 1 cooking pot, flame starter kit, flask and water purifier, stream water, 1 hairbrush, pillow, and 1 of each cleansers, 2 wayfinders, honey comb

Lucia was perplexed to hear that Leon had heard a voice in his head. She wondered if someone had tried to speak to him with magic. Perhaps a demon had been nearby, but it wasn’t enough information to ascertain. Vaeril was a light elf so how could he have done it? Suspicion rose for the Riverport community and she felt herself transitioning to mama bear mode. She moved onto considering the note he had been given. Most likely, it had been from the rebels, so it was important they went and kept it on the down low. If it wasn’t from the rebels though and a trap for her human, there would be hell to pay.

Leon had reacted positively to the horn, grinning. He was a daring, young man who showed no fear at all and Lucia respected him for that. However, he was new to Avalia, and there was a price for his handsome little head. She listened as he spoke more. ”Well, Leon. It just sounded like a war horn that could have been signaling an attack. Considering the past few weeks and the way life here has been, it wouldn’t have surprised me. The baddies could have been aware of the rebels coming and been up to no good. I’m proud of how brave you are, but we also need to anticipate incoming danger and be ready. Better safe than sorry!” She lowered her bow and smiled wide at his compliment, her cheeks reddening, ”Awww, Leon! So sweet. You’re right I am pretty great. Let’s go make sure there aren’t any hooligans we need to set straight. Just follow close to me.”

Lucia made her way into the town from the beach, moving slowly and staying closer to the walls as the fountain came into the view and two … dragonborns!? One of them had a horn which meant he was the obvious culprit for all the commotion. She held out her arm to pause Leon as she sized up the situation more, her gaze fixating on the little figure of a fairy sitting on the fountain. She had pink braids. Risa had very long hair and dressed in much more feminine clothing last she saw, but still that could have been the idea. It would not be smart for a fairy princess to walk around advertising who she was with a target as big as hers on her back. She was sure if she got a good look on her face she’d be able to tell for certain. Lucia did not want to leave Risa alone in the middle of town with two dragonborns if she wasn’t sure they were trustworthy. The way the one dragonborn stood in front of Risa made her the hair on the back of her neck raise.

There was only one way to find out… Her gaze traveled to Leon and she kept them hidden in the shadows for now. How would she fight two dragonborn if she had too? Was light magic enough? She sheathed her arrow and bow, knowing it wouldn’t be as effective, and kept a firm grip on her staff instead. ”Dragonborns, They may be part of the Sanguine Draconis militia. As far as I know they fought against Aklenroth. If they are part of that group they’re their own military. Don’t know much about them, but if they’re here for Risa’s aid, that’s good news. Still, I don’t know them well and with their obnoxious entrance, I’m wary of meeting them. That fairy girl might be Princess Risa and I’m dying to meet her but we must remain cautious, okay? Act like an Elf, don’t give that name again, maybe something more Elf like.” Her gaze flicked to the group then back to Leon. ”I don’t know how well I can defend you if something goes wrong, so be ready to bolt if needed back to my residence. All I can hope for is my light magic is strong enough with my staff. Remember the pretty amas for your head. Okay?” She paused, awaiting confirmation and then took a deep breath and moved forward.

Lucy strode out of the shadows with a grin on her face. ”Well well well, we found the source of the noise haven’t we?” She grinned as she joined the dragonborns and remained a safe distance away. Her staff was sheathed for now, but it would only take her seconds to pull it back out. ”Thought the dogs of war were here. But to my delight, it’s dragonborns! A pleasure to meet you, good sirs and miss!” She clapped her hands together enthusiastically. ”What’re your names sirs?”

Her gaze fixated on Risa and she sucked in a deep breath. It was the princess! Oh how exciting! Lucy wanted to squeal and bow, but that was only a fool’s move right now. She would have to withhold her excitement. She moved forward and gently took her hand in a comforting matter. ”Hello princess, I’m on your side and support you.” She whispered in her ear and moved away, her blue eyes wide with excitement and awe. She was much younger than Lucy had anticipated. This poor dear looked younger than even Leon. Goodness, and she had been through hell already. Risa was going to need tons of Lucia hugs and comfort.

”I’m so sorry to hear about what you’ve gone through. Do you need a hug? OH! Silly me, forgetting my name! I’m Lucia.” Her voice had been only loud enough for Risa to hear and she removed her hand from hers. She stepped back and grinned at her with the kindest expression she could muster. Her gaze flicked around until she found Leon and kept him in her peripheral vision.
