[now you do]

I think they are, anyway. They're very romantic with each other.

[sancrimony]

That's -

Ahh, that's wonderful! I'm glad she has someone here . . .

[maleficafe]

I hope they take care of each other... I'll feel better about her leaving, that way.

[sancrimony]

Mmm . . .

In that case, I'll most certainly visit avante en garde later. Cardigan-san and I are on good terms.

[maleficafe]

You are? That's good.

Thank you, Lucifel.

[sancrimony]

It's not a problem at all. Thank you for the bouquets, Lavender-san -

[ with a pause ]

Have a cup of tea?

[maleficafe]

Sure.

[sits down for tea]

[sancrimony]

[ getting her a cup, then ]

. . . How was the game, for you?

[maleficafe]

[curls her fingers around it and just absorbs the warmth]

... scary. Especially when people were trying to kill me, or the person I was with. They came close, once. But I was lucky and got away. Camellia got hurt, but we were able to stay alive. John and Amaranth protected us, but Amaranth...

[stares into the tea for a moment]

There were spirits there. Angry, vengeful spirits. I think one of them took her.

[sancrimony]

. . . Mmm. That house is one of grudges, of spirits that clung to this Earth rather than moving on.

[ with a soft exhale ]

I see. I'm glad you and Camellia-san and John-san were able to keep your wits about you. .... I understand why Amaranth-san would not have wanted to return home.

[maleficafe]

... I don't know what I'd do in her place. And I was afraid of her, too. That's why... I'm worried.

[sancrimony]

[ . . . offering a hand out to her ]

Would it be alright to hug you?

[maleficafe]

[looks surprised for a moment...]

[maleficafe]

[and then just kind of flops against him, curled in on herself]

[sancrimony]

[ embracing her gently, firmly - despite his baby face he's actually pretty buff under his clothes. surprise.

but he's quiet for a moment, letting her settle in the hug before: ]

She will return to you and LiliS, Lavender-san. I'll make sure of it.

[maleficafe]

[nods and just lets the hug happen]

Thank you.

[sancrimony]

Mm. Of course.

[ letting her stay in the hug for a little while longer - at least until she would make an indication of wanting to move away ]

[maleficafe]

[what if

i live here now]

[sancrimony]

[ well,

then you live here now.

gently, petting her hair ]
