She was lost, the town was like a maze of desolation; so many destitutes..it hurt to see. Taking in a long breath the malak eventually found her way to the knights most heavenly. “Hello...” she peaked into the open door. it felt like ruins, deserted and broken...the air was filled with not a trace of malevolence.

[ TO. ]  hear the woman’s admittance of guilt tore at the Malak.  He knew all too well what suffering Velvet ENDURED.  He knew what plagued her to this day.  Where once he wore annoyance now sorrow remained in its place.      “Look girly.  It ain’t yer fault & it will never be.       Eizen went out on his own terms.  He made that choice, not you.       You damn well know he was on his way out when we met.       You heard the man say he ‘might as well turn into a dragon’     back when he smashed Theo’s head in.  Don’t you dare start blamin’ yerself.       If it’s anyone’s fault, it was that damn old coot Melchior ya’ hear me.”  Still he watched as the lass’ features dropped & she looked away.  Gods how he knew it was tearing her apart.  There wasn’t a day he didn’t blame himself either.  A thousand years mulling the same incident over & over.  What he could have done different.  What PROMISES he could have kept.  Anything at all.  For Eizen it was much the same.  For what he was left with was a grieving girl over the loss of her brother & the pirate’s blood on his hands to ANSWER for it.      “Listen.  You came back as a seraph didn’t ya’?       That means there was some redeeming part of ya’.       Somethin’ that was right.  Yer still a good girl, Vel.       It ain’t you.  It ain’t you I promise.       Eizen was a proper dumbass & Theo did everything outta love.       None of them had regrets & you know it.”

[ FROWN. ]  twisted darkened lips as the GILDED tones narrowed at the Lord of Calamity.  While she may have been correct there was more to his ordeals with the pair.  Though hardly would he hold her in contempt for long.  The Malak heaved a sigh before shaking his head, making the silvery locks fall from place with the very motion.      “Wouldn’t ya do the same?  Especially if ya spent years      & years of yer life with them.  It’s- it’s hard to let go ya’ know.       I still miss em’.  Was it smart?  Hell no.       But damn did it bring back memories of how it used to be.”  His voice fell as the final words were uttered.  They were as hard to speak as they were to IMAGINE.  Though of all people, Velvet would know.  Wouldn’t she?      “I just want the good ol’ days back when Theo used to wallop me      & Eiz would borderline pop a blood vessel at my shenanigans.       I never took enjoyment in havin’ to kill him but a promise was a promise.       Even if it hurt to keep it.  I really miss em’ Vel.”

“[ YEAH. ]  no, I ain’t a fan of dragons despite y’know      my wife turnin’ into one & Eiz goin’ out like that.       No matter how much ya’ ask, I ain’t fightin’ it.”

A moment, a beat. There is blessed silence. 

 A yawn escapes him. 

 “You know, I don’t see my little bro anywhere. He gone and died or something?”

   ► “ANYTHING specific? Oh let me count the ways. First I am craving the taste of prickleboar meat sauteed in a delicious sauce followed by some–” Thus the witch began her list of various foods she craved with no one knowing where it all would go.

   ► “OH riiiiight. I forgot lil’ miss monster claw doesn’t miss people. My mistake.”

   ► “AWWW Velvet missed lil’ ol’ me? How adorable~!”

   ► “I went where I went and that just so happens to be where I went.”

Laphicet nods a little, “I think I am..It doesn’t look too hard when you do it so…It can’t be that hard, can it?” He honestly didn’t see the possible outcomes of holding a knife to cut meat and vegetables with especially with little experience but was confident enough to at least try, “I could do that too…But I wanna at least help prepping the meat!”

   ► “OKAY, okay. I got it!” In that instant Magilou let go of Velvet, backing up a good distance away.

“It’s one I haven’t read so I figured I’d read it as soon as possible!” Laughing a bit along with Velvet, smile widening a bit at his hair being petted, “Can I help cook it? I wanna learn how to prepare meals like you, Velvet!”
