 It was a few days after her day spent at the cafe with a certain demon woman who had yet to tell her name, and sense then, Hana had worked on her own little plans for the upcoming holiday of love and friendship. Today was that day, and she was only just finishing up the adorably fancy gift box loaded with chocolates all made by her. She took care into packaging each heart shaped chocolate into it's own section, a pale pink rice paper wrapped around each to keep them even fresher and protected. Of course, she had no idea if her new demon friend would even want to try such things, but, well, she hoped. She could guess no one ever made something special for her, and she deserved to feel a little extra special for once in her life! Placed over each gently wrapped chocolate was a tiny sticker, a picture of each filling inside so she would know which to try. There were several flavors like extra chocolate, raspberry, lemon, vanilla cream, dark cherry cream and caramel. Finally, she finished it off with wrapping the box with a white and gold trimming lace and bow, a bow that just happened to have little angelic wings at either side. The box itself a soft pink and gold, giving it a hint of elegance. It wasn't exactly meant to look like a romantic theme here, after all, she only just met her! With Hana's luck, she probably wouldn't even want them, or worse, she wouldn't be able to find her again.
Yes, that would be quite the challenge, even harder then making these chocolates. Where exactly was she..
With everything complete, she took her little treats proudly, holding the box of chocolates close and protectively as she began to leave her apartment...

Stelle By the time the rest of her family would join them, Alice's lovely retainer had already plowed through two entire pizzas, which they would be able to tell from the empty pizza trays on the table. "Hungry..." Her attention was caught by a couple leaving the area, throwing their leftover food in the trash. She stood, starting to walk towards it... only to have the yellow handlebar-looking part of the back of her jacket grabbed by Talia, who sighed. She kept trying to walk towards it, arms outstretched, just walking in place."Can we fire her?" She asked flatly, as if she had any impact on who was chosen to be the retainers."Oh come now, I think her behavior is rather charming!""Well you think spiders are cute, and you're only into girls who are walking red flags. Your opinions are terrible." They were lucky that most of the customers had started clearing out, due to... clear discomfort with Stelle. Why would that be!"...Well, this is a buffet, so why don't you all gather whatever you'd like to eat? Meanwhile, Alice... perhaps you could tell us a little about your..." He glanced over, as the girl continued walking in place with outstretched arms. "...Retainer... Is she really one?" He couldn't help but wonder if she could even fight. He'd almost sooner trust Belle with a weapon. "And how did she end up in this position? Was it... er... some kind of punishment?" It was an insane idea that either he or Corrin would punish her by giving her such a retainer, but it almost seemed equally ludicrous she was her retainer under any circumstance!"...I can get your food. What do you want?" Constantine asked Belle, turning towards her with his usual expression. He thought she may have an appetite, and didn't want her to end up dropping a bunch of plates and hurting herself if so. Maybe he was a little too protective?

     Alice...just sat there at the table, looking at the empty two boxes Stelle so quickly finished. Alice on the other hand, had one slice, but her apatite quickly faded as she watched her retainer stuff herself with SO much Pizza! Her stomach was a black void, devouring every and anybit of food in front of her! There was so end to her hunger! "Still hungry..after all that? ...I don't know why i'm still surprised by this! " She knew she ate..a LOT of food, but still, it was hard for her to process that.
Her eyes trailed over to the couple Stelle was watching, which prompted Alice to jump into action again, and quickly block off her path to the awaiting trash food. "NO. It is a buffet, take what you want over there, NOT in the trash. " Lucky for her, the others finally arrived, and just in time, as Talia grabbed a hold of the belt of her jacket, keeping her in place..again! She wasn't going to get past her unless it broke. "Stelle, if you go for anymore trash on the ground, or in a trashcan, you will be eating a plate of vegetables for a week as punishment! Do you hear me!? " Was she really HER retainer, or was Alice Stelle's retainer? It really was an amusing situation, and a stressful one for the unfortunate princess!
She sighed again, turning now to her father and mother has they approached them. "I'm afraid she might grab -everything- there is to offer at this point.." Maybe a buffet wasn't the best idea with the endless void that was Stelle's stomach! "Yes, as hard as it may be to believe sometimes.. Stelle is my retainer. " She shook her head, a slight, amused smile at her features to his question. One could certainly think getting Stelle as a retainer was some form of punishment! " Hehe...No, not at all. " She paused.." It was me, I wanted her to be my retainer...." That must of been te biggest shock of news to him yet, even more so then the fact that they had so many future kids! "I found her one night, savaging through...the garbage in the streets.I learned then that she was alone, she had no family, no friends..she was just alone for goodness knows how long. Even I don't know, but..I couldn't handle that. I didn't want to see her out there suffering like that. Later that night, a group of monsters surrounded me, this was before I was able to fight on my own. It was Stelle that saved me, as hard as it is to believe, she is very strong and very capable in battle..That's when I asked her to be my retainer. " She glanced back at her, who was still standing there, walking in place with out stretched arms, held by Talia. A sigh escaping Alice as she returned her attention back to her parents with a faint laughter.. "Yes, that is my retainer..She's as much a part of our family now. Even though she has been with me for several years, I think whatever happened to her before we met her may of been.....to much? It may take a lot longer to fully adjust to a happier life..Though I wish it would happen sooner, she worries me so much with those terrible eating habits..." It was luck th at she got her mothers hair color, mostly. Otherwise it would of turned grey a long time ago!
"........." Belle reached up suddenly, everyone else's attention was likely on Stelle right now, not that she was trying to be secret about it. Constantine would feel a slight heaviness on his horns as she grabbed them gently. Pulling his head down a bit, so that she would lean up and kiss his forehead! Then, she let him go, proceeding on forward towards the plates. "You're so sweet! But i'm not so helpless that I can't make my own plate of food. " And she slipped off one large plate, setting it down on the railing to gather her choice of food! "Come on, Constantine! Grab yourself a plate too! This is going to be fun...All of us together like this! "

Orion Orion strode on past her unknowing parents at first, not giving a second thought to the need for introductions or explanations. After a moment though, she stopped, tapping Corrin on the shoulder, and pointing at Elise and Azura, who had followed her from Kalm. Then, she continued on in silence."Er, hello? Are you-?"Orion turned back towards Ephraim, then glanced around. After a moment, she grabbed Reiner, pulling him over to stand in front of her. Not out of shyness, but just..."O-oh, this is Orion! She and Constantine are twins! She doesn't like to talk very much." He explained, and Orion let out a soft sigh of relief."I see... Well, it's nice to meet you, Orion. I hope you don't dislike talking because of any issues you had growing up..."She shook her head, before finally, her soft, demure voice would come out for a moment. "...No... best parents." She said quietly, giving both Ephraim and Corrin a little curtsy."...Well, that means a lot. I hope you know you can always come to us if you need anything." Orion gave him a nod, before turning and walking to join her other siblings. Seemed they were about to eat together...
Ephraim glanced at Azura and Elise, but let Corrin greet them first. He presumed she knew them, while he would direct his attention to Alice. "You remind me a lot of your mother." He said, glancing at Corrin. "...Both in appearance and personality, it seems." She and Corrin certainly had a strong resemblance. The only comparable parent/child lookalikes were Tifa and Layla. "So she can fight? ...I suppose she'd have to be able to, but I'm still surprised.""Uh huh, she's stronger than she looks. Guess her talent isn't in brains, so it had to go somewhere.""I am the strongest warrior in the universe!" Stelle suddenly blustered, turning and putting her hands on her hips proudly. "None can compare to my fiery lance, or my unbreakable baseball bat!""Also, if you want to get her attention, just give her a fake compliment, and you'll get this. Wow Stelle, you sure are intelligent.""My brain's size is only matched by the size of my bravery! I am the most powerful and intelligent woman alive! And the most humble!""...Well, at least I can't fault her choice in weaponry." The spear did always come out on top. If she used a lance, he had to be proud of that at least."..." Constantine, even with his typical expression, just blinked at her in response to what she did. "I thought making out meant kissing on the lips." Seems he was still confused about that, all this time later."..." Constantine and Belle might both notice one person was staring at them--that being Constantine's twin sister, who had just arrived. She felt herself blush slightly, before clearing her throat, and walking past them both."..." There probably didn't exist a more awkward pair of twins. "...All right. But if it gets too heavy, tell me." He really was so overprotective of her, and he didn't even realize it was atypical at all. As if everyone acted like this towards someone they really cared about!

  Corrin turned rather suddenly following the tap of her shoulder, her eyes fixing on the young silver-haired teenager, but before her eyes could find their way to the two she would point toward, Corrin was met by that highly energetic, sweet voice as she was.....attacked in a great, bear tight hug suddenly! Normally, she was great at keeping her balance, even in unexpected moments, but this had her so surprised she felt her footing not quite so steady at the sudden hug, and the two tumbled down to the ground, with Elise still attached to her like a lobster! "Big sister!! " Elise REALLY missed her family! The whole little moment brought out a soft giggle from Corrin, who tried her best to hug her adorable not so little sister! Else fell into a fit of her own giggles, while Azura stood there smiling, a soft laugh even came from the Vallite princess.Of course she was happy to see her! Though not so much in the way to attack her in a never ending hug, like sweet Elise did! "Elise! Azura! Sakura! " Corrin finally managed to say, Elise finally letting them both get back to their feet, but staying close still! "You are really here.." Hard to believe, with how long she had been here in this world, she thought it would be only her at this point. Stepping over, she decided to do what the other two were SO shy about doing, and grabbed all three into her own big giant ....dragon hug! Given how long it had been since they all seen each other, Corrin was so distracted with them that she almost forgot about the one who pointed them out to her!
Until finally, she turned to Orion as she pulled her living shield in front of her, her apparent brother shield! "..Hehe, I knew it.." Corrin smiled, after meeting Constantine, and seeing the similarities in this girl...it didn't take a lot to figure it out! Especially with how it seemed every few hours they were meeting a new child of the wonderful future they clearly had! "I'm happy to meet you, Orion! " Honestly, that little curtsy was just all that much cuter coming from someone who didn't like to talk! "Corrinnnn! You have a lot to explain! Who is this? " She glanced at Ephraim, then looked at the others gathered there. Boy were they in for a shocker to learn how many kids she really had! Corrin's face began to light up a shade of pink, as she slipped her hand into Ephraim's affectionately. "This is Ephraim, King of Renias, in his world....and also...my beloved.." Well, that was one way of introducing him! ' Whaaa! Really?! ......Hi, King Ephraim! " Elise was already beaming, the girl was endless happiness! "Hehe,yay! More family!! " They were already married in Elise's mind, it seemed! "H-Hello..! " Sakura responded next, her cheeks a shade of red as she quickly glanced away! So many people at once.At least she tried! "Pleased to meet you, King Ephraim. " Azura finally said, a faint smile at her features. It wasn't often Azura was quick to greet someone with a smile, but, if Corrin was so close to him, there was little reason to be cautious of him.
Meanwhile, Alice nodded to Ephraim. "Do I? " She smiled. It could be considered a great compliment to her. Everyone loved Corrin, but no one loved her more then her children and Ephraim! "She can. He,he,maybe you two should have a little spar sometime. I think she too, would love that. " After all, she was SO proud of her own skills, and thought highly of herself. Surely she would love the idea of a little spar with Ephraim. "He,he..you sound disappointed..Do you -want- me to kiss you on the lips? There are different forms of kissing, dragon boy! That wasn't a make out kiss.." She teased, it was cute though.It was all thanks to her sitting in front of the TV and watching movies, or reading, that she learned of this kind of thing herself! "...Oh.." She blinked, a tint of pink at her cheeks. Well! She didn't think anyone was actually paying any attention to them at all! "...Ha..ha....Um, Hi Orion! " She waved at her, before turning back to Constantine. "Of course..You know, you don't have to worry about me so much..I feel like..er...never mind...ahaha! " She turned back to the plate, beginning to make her selections......
Cake..cake, and more CAKE. It was a heavenly buffet with so many sweets. How could she pass such a occasion up? She might never get this chance again! She began to take a slice of chocolate cake, another of strawberry, and another that looked like a strawberry shortcake, there were several variations of cake..and she was going to try them ALL!

At another location of Midgar, Aria was leaning over a rather trashed, old wooden barrel. It had been sitting there for years, probably. Considering the amount of spider webs all over and around it. Closer towards the ground, a rather giant sized cocoon was just partially hanging by it's own threads, Aria meanwhile...was lightly poking that cocoon with her spear, until the owner of it's little master piece came scurrying out! It was big...and furry! Definitely a tarantula! Of course, she jumped a little as it made it's horrifying appearance. But she was also very quick to calm right down, and proceed to poke at it! "..Aria! ...Hello.! ....." Cordelia blinked, tilting her head slightly. Just what was she doing? "Um, Aria? ..Hello? " "What does it look like? ...I'm TRYING to see what Reiner's fascination with these....creatures..is..I don't see it. " She poked at it a little harder, only to be surprised when the huge spider decided it didn't like being poked at, and jumped right onto her spear!
Which she swung into the air to shake it off................
It was ALMOST as if she did it intentionally, following the horrified scream of terror when that very same giant spider landed......right onto Cordelia's head! The poor princess froze up immediately, she was so scared of even screaming, due to the possibilities of making it bite her! It didn't stop her from whimpering like a terrified puppy, though!
Aria's mouth turned into a twisted little smirk, before she began to laugh at the fish's misfortune. It was rather great! "...Well then.....You have fun with that. " Oh, so evil. SO EVIL. Aria just causually began to walk away laughing, leaving the tearing up princess there to fend for herself with the giant scary spider very intent to stay where it was perched.

Minato "It must be more common to house spiders in your hair than I realized." Cordelia would hear from behind her, as the eldest brother of many, many siblings came to stand there. He tilted his head slightly. "You and Reiner would get along well. ...Though from your whimpering and tears, I suppose you're not as thrilled about this as he typically is. Are you in need of rescue?" Minato reached out with his free hand, while his left held a sheathed katana, plucking the spider carefully off her head, causing its legs to start to scurry pointlessly in the air in response to no longer being on solid ground. "They're quite fascinating creatures, I will admit. I can't say I find them as adorable as my younger brother, but they are interesting. The webs they can spin are rather artistic." He lifted the spider to look at it. "Well, if I knew where Reiner was, I would introduce you. For now, be on your way." He said, placing the spider against the wall and allowing it to skitter away quickly. Reiner would be heartbroken if he crushed it. "I'm surprised to find you so horrified of spiders, I must admit. Don't you and your mother adore crustaceans? Reiner often calls crabs the spiders of the sea. There are strong resemblances, don't you think? Perhaps if you gave spiders a chance, you'd end up finding them as cute as he does." ...Probably not, but at least one person in the world had to share his weird fascination, right? Surely one day Minato would find the perfect pal for Reiner to befriend and chat about spiders with.

 She could feel the spider slowly, sloowly inching forward, it's large hairy legs now touching her forehead. It was going to very soon, make it's way ON her face if she didn't get it off soon. Yet, she was completely frozen. She couldn't move no matter how badly she wanted to get it off! Monsters, Sephiroth, ANYTHING would a blessing to deal with rather then this GIANT spider! Those fangs were not fun looking either, and that was what terrified her most. As it continued to inch forward, she could feel her own body break out into a sweat, god, she was going to pass out any moment, and then upon falling, it would definitely bite her!
That's what would have happened..had someone not come to her most embarrassing rescue of her life. And of all the people, it just had to be Minato! Yes, she could literally just die right now. Of course, though, she still didn't move, not a muscle. She wouldn't even speak for that matter, yet there was something she could do that wouldn't spook the big spider atop her head! "..Please...just get it off! " First and foremost, that was most important. "Please hurry! " At this point, she closed her eyes, as it seemed the spider, seeing Minato, became a little spooked and began to move forward more, half of it's body now reached her entire forehead, it's legs dangling in front of her eyes. Her soul was about to leave her body anytime now...
Fortunately, it wasn't her soul leaving anything, but the spider's creepy body leaving her head, at the help of Minato's sheathed katana to guide it off.
For the first time in....about fifteen minutes, Cordelia was able to MOVE again, and she did. AWAY from where the spider was placed. "...." It was now time for the embarrassment to weigh even heavier on her mind. "..Thank you..........please never speak of this to anyone....." She sighed heavily. "Aria...You will pay for this! " Uh oh. Little did her Reaper of a cousin know, she just started a war with a mermaid. Not a good war to start, if she ever hoped to swim. Finally, turning to Minato, she shook her head at his strange question! "Not at all...Crabs are cute, and they only pinch if they are threatened. ...A spider is on a while different level, and are often venomous. Did you not see the fangs on that creature?? ..And it was on my head..." Another shiver traveled down her spine, she was going to take a really good bath tonight, taken care to REALLY clean her hair. "I have never found a spider cute...I'm sorry, but that is not possible! " Taking a step closer to him, he would suddenly find a bit of his shirt in Cordelia's grasp as she pulled him towards her a bit, he would see the pleading look in her eyes as she looked at him seriously. "Swear it...Swear you will not tell anyone about what happened here! " Cordelia was one most would think was just a sweet, gentle natured young woman, but little did they know, that wasn't always how she was. In certain situations, she could become quite pushy, and very defenseive!

The island was a beautiful place, but it wasn't for her. Her place was here where people actually needed her, be it her healing, or her lovely voice that also had a healing power behind it, not just physically, but mentally too. How many people came to listen to her sing always left with their minds at ease, even the most stressed out, depressed or otherwise unhealthy in some way always left feeling better. It was no wonder she had so many fans here! She had quickly became Midgar's idol and loved by many of the citizens, which was great for her, not having to hide under a cloak that covered her pure white wings. Of all the places in Gaia, she found herself most comfortable here in the city of Midgar.
What was hardest for her, was getting used to that attention! She really wasn't used to it, strangely enough. For now, she would enjoy her peace and quiet moment at her favorite little cafe, a tea cup in front of her as she sat at the table...

Night was also when the worst of the criminals of the city stepped out of their hideouts. "Oh, please do..foolish human..Go on..do it.." It was as if she were hoping for the target locked in her sights was going to make his move, and sure enough, her suspicions were right as the man began to walk slowly towards the oblivious Angel sitting outside the cafe. The well known idol of the city and daily healer was loved by so many, but there would always be those jerks who just wanted to bring trouble and fill their pockets with GIL. She was worth quite a lot of it, as the flyer in his hand proved of one of the many bounties he took it upon himself to complete.
Coming up from behind Hana, he quickly reached for her hair, grabbing it and yanking her back roughly. That alone should cause a moment of fear and confusion as her brain tried to process what was happening, his free hand raised and moved to stab something into her neck....
Only it didn't get a chance to hit it's mark, as chains suddenly lashed out, wrapping around his wrist, and legs, causing him to drop the object. A syringe of some form of liquid, most likely a sleeping agent that would be crushed under her boot. "Thank you, you stupid human...Let's see how you handle this! " He could do nothing but scream as the Reaper's teeth sank into his neck, and she made extra sure to do it as painfully as possible. She would take just enough blood from this sorry human that he would survive, but the weakness and terrible feeling he would begin to feel after word, may have him rethink his life choices.
After a long moment, at least, for him it might of felt that way, she dropped the man harshly, before kicking him away with enough force to send him colliding into the cafe's brick wall.

 The sounds that came from the table outside the restaurant where almost inhuman, as if a giant wolf was just scarfing down it's meal! Sad as it was, and for Hana, who was sitting across the table from her, the world would know this was no animal, but a very hungry Reaper! The once giant turkey leg was nearly to the bone, as was the five other just like it, but completely stripped of meat. The girl across from her just kind of stared at her, her face pale, or was it green with disgust? No matter how grossed out poor Hana was, she didn't seem to pick up any form of table manors and clearly had no plans to! "..Mmf, Are yu goin' ta eat that? " Hana had not touched a piece of food yet! Her response was, as Kana tossed aside the next finished turkey leg on the giant plate in front of her, was a shake of her head. "...!!" Yeah, she didn't waste a second before grabbing the plate in front of Hana and beginning to gobble it down instead! ".....A-Are you really just a Reaper, or ..are you a wolf? ...A werewolf? " She lowered her head, picking up the menu to place in front of her face. "E-everyone is looking at us..." Well, more like Kana, but she was kinda there too! "Please slow down! I-It isn't going to run away from you..." Did Kana listen? Of course not! Like Hana, those watching her had turned quite green on the face as well. It really was quite the scene! Maybe instead of treating her to this meal in thanks of her help earlier, she should have let them take her away instead! In this situation, she might of been better off.
