Aeon "Typically, the judgments are accurate." He would just love to see her prove it to him, though. And her attempt to do so elicited a grunt from him as he found his back against the ground, and moments later, she actually initiated a kiss herself. Oh, she may regret that. As strong as she was, she might be surprised to feel himself force his shoulders up, and one of his hands came around to grip her by the back of her head as they shared the passionate kiss, and the other hooked around one of her legs as he rolled them over, so he was over her now, straddling one of her legs while not breaking the kiss they shared. And she would feel his knee come up rather roughly between her legs, as he increased the passion of their little kiss. And he didn't become any less rough for a few moments, until he opened his eye slightly, wanting to see the helpless expression in her eyes.
...Then he remembered himself, and what was going on. "...!" He quickly broke the kiss, and pulled his knee away. "s**t, sorry..." Goodness, Aeon, apologizing for attempting to escalate things? Phoenix really must have been something special! He was trying not to do that, though. He understood she didn't want it, and for once, he cared.
He seated himself against the tree again, assuming she wouldn't want to come close to him again. But that was fine, if so. He would be lucky if she didn't just leave after that. "I don't have anywhere else except there." He said in response to her inquiry about where he was living. The Reapers' Realm was the only place he really had all these years. "I'd just get the kind that took your powers. That way you'd be completely helpless. And if you were a good girl, you could put the leash on me, sometimes." For someone who was trying not to escalate things, he sure still said some pretty kinky s**t.
"...I'm not your problem, Phoenix. I wasn't then, and I'm not now. Don't apologize for stupid s**t." Nothing that happened was her fault, and she had no responsibility or obligation to him, anyway. They hadn't been terribly close back then, anyway. He certainly didn't think they were close enough for him to come beg to live with them. And he was far too prideful to, anyway. If his own mother didn't want him, why would they? Why would anyone?
"I doubt that. She's much stronger than you may think." She was at least as strong as Eskallion, if not possibly stronger."...You don't think they'd just abandon you? Yeah. I thought that, too." If his own experience was anything to go by, it didn't really matter what you believed. You never knew for sure...(( OOC: ))

Phoenix was almost a little to confidant in her abilities, and this was probably the one moment she would realize they weren't quite as great as she let on! She was sure Aeon would not be able to budge from her hold, until he almost far to easily, forced his shoulders up in the heated moment of the kiss, she would then feel like the helpless, weak one when he decided to take control of the situation. And boy did he ever take control! Her heart sped up quite a bit in the moment, he may even notice how heavy her breathing became at the moment his knee came up, there. Oh, the heat was rising, and it wasn't Phoenix as the cause this time! What she didn't realize, as the kiss continued to grow in passion, was how her legs seemed to spread a little. Her body wasn't fighting away these feelings at all, and maybe she didn't intend to ether.
And then...! ...He would break the kiss, and move his knee away from her. Phoenix, for the moment, looked a little disappointed it ended the way it did, but gods, she...didn't want it to. "........Would you think i'm a horrible person...if I...said..i'm not? " How many hints did she need to throw out for him? Phoenix ...enjoyed every second of that incredible rush!
She would...have to try to calm herself down now, wouldn't she? But why was it so hard?! Scooting hereslf close to him again, she waited for him to make himself comfortable again, before she positioned herself to sit in his lap this time."Do you..want to see me helpless to you? " She asked, bah, that damned blush was creeping it's way back on her cheeks again, she could feel the warmth!
"....Just shut up! I want to enjoy this time with you now...Let's leave that talk for another day.." She really just wanted to sit here with him, and try to let her mind calm down a bit. She was so comfortable being so close to him, they didn't need depressing talk to ruin their moment, did they? It wasn't like she'd probably get to experience this moment again.She felt like something somehow, would shatter it. "...Do you...like me? " Came the sudden, out of the blue question. Maybe that was exactly what would shatter it?

_____ It was while flying over Banora that Eskallion would feel demonic energy strike him, sending him spiraling down until he crashed into the dirt below. Grunting as he sat up, he slammed his fist down, sending out a pulse of draconic rage which dispelled the demonic energy from around him. As he stood, a demonic figure fade-stepped into view in front of him, a cold, very fake smirk on her features. "Well, well, if it isn't Serenity's little fake king. You may have fooled everyone else with your pretend smiles and... acting like you're a good father, but I'm no fool. There's a reason my father wants you dead.""And why is that, child?""Well, that's obviously because-""Let me answer that for you." Eskallion cut in. "Caius was a monster. He wasn't content to inflict demonification upon only himself, and he dragged many, many people--my closest childhood friend included--into his horrific, deranged games. He forced demonification on nearly a hundred unwilling Serenitians and used them as his little army against myself and Althesa. We worked together to defeat him, and when we did, he acted like a petulant, irate child as we sealed him into the pocket dimension you grew up in. The reason your father wants me dead is because I took his toys, and I wounded his pride. The reason I want your father dead is all the lives he trampled upon in his mad pursuit for power--all the lives he destroyed, many of whom I'm certain are still suffering as unwilling demons, desperately hoping for a release from their torment so they can finally die. I don't want to kill, but I'm far past forgiveness when it comes to that b*****d you think is your father." The intensity in his gaze wasn't something often seen with the jovial king."Sh... shut up!" The unnamed girl took a step back, averting her gaze. "...Your... closest childhood friend? Who...?""...She was the one who introduced me to Unisha and Phoenix's mother. She was like a sister to me, my closest friend. Full of life, full of love, always teasing and having fun with everyone. And every time I look at you, I see her. Your hair color, your eye color, your face--you're the spitting image of her." The unnamed woman's eyes grew, almost looking horrified. "...I don't know what Caius did to her, but he targeted her because of me. All the years she suffered were my fault. She's still suffering now, as a demon, and that he... did what he did..." He grunted, closing his eyes in anger as a plume of smoke billowed out of his nose."...M... my mother... killed herself." She said, lowering her gaze, while Eskallion raised his in surprise. "My brother purified her of demonification, somehow... and she immediately killed herself. My brother thinks... she was terrified of becoming a demon again." She felt... so lost. If this man was so awful, why did his words resonate so much with her? Why did he look so pained when he spoke about her mother?"I'm so sorry.""S-sorry? Why are you sorry?! She's not "suffering" anymore, so isn't that good for you?""No one should see their mother's death as a good thing. I'm sorry you... never got to know her. She was a brilliant, beautiful young woman, just like her daughter.""Shut up! Stop trying to confuse me! It's not going to work! You should see me as an abomination, for what Caius did to her! I'm a constant reminder of that, so hate me!!""NO!" He shouted, his voice booming with a draconic overlay, so powerful that it threw off her balance for a moment. "You're not your father's mistakes! You're your own woman, and you're what she left! When I look at you, I don't see what Caius did, I see what you carry of your mother. I can only see you, not him. You're so much more than-""Stop!!" She screamed, waving her arm and summoning Phoenix in front of her, causing Eskallion to grunt. "I-I corrupted her! Hate me!! Hate me now!"Eskallion shook his head. "I will never hate you.""I'll... kill her!" She raised her scythe, holding the blade up to Phoenix's neck. "I'll make her kill you! I'll kill her while you watch! Hate me! Hate me!!" By now her voice was breaking, and there were tears going down her cheeks as she was screaming in desperation, in emotion. She... just needed a reason to hate him. A reason to see how horrible he was--to see any justification for her father's actions."I will never hate you.""........." She sobbed quietly, lowering her scythe dejectedly. ...And suddenly, Phoenix's brain would snap back to control, like a lightswitch which had been turned off was finally switched back on. The negative feelings the corruption targeted obviously wouldn't just go away, but she'd be back in control. "I-I can't..." She said through tears, stumbling backwards as she choked out sorrowful sobs. "I'm so sorry..." She said directed at Phoenix, before she vanished away, even more confused and uncertain of everything than ever before. Which was the opposite of what she was hoping this meeting would do...Her sorrow was hard to watch, especially with how much she reminded him of his dear friend, but he believed it was necessary. He thought, maybe this would be the catalyst she needed to change. And for now, he had to focus on his daughter first. "Phoenix!" He said, concerned as he hurried over to her, pulling her into a probably unwelcome dad hug, yet one she'd just have to deal with. Not that she wouldn't be used to that! "Are you all right? I'm sorry I couldn't help you sooner." Even with her there at the airship, he knew if he didn't focus on Caius, others very well may die for it. (( OOC: ))

フェニックスの平静
To suddenly be brought into the fray of a very. ..intense moment, from out of no where just....here, brought in the middle of something Phoenix didn't have any time to even try to figure out what was going on other then the fact that the one she felt so inclined to obey, was trying to use her as some kind of scare tactic to get to her father. Before she could really react as her senses began to piece the scene together, the corrupted hold on her mind was gone, at least enough of it that she was now in control again. In control and soon about to wish she could escape again as her oh-so-loving father pulled her into a hug, as though it were soo embarrassing to her. He would never change, even when she was older one day, he would still probably be that hug-happy dad! "....." But in reality, she didn't mind it as much as she let on, and what really bothered her right now was how easily that girl corrupted her..It was...truly embarrassing to her pride. "..I'm fine....she won't be ..when I find her again.." She had it in for her, clearly she deserved some kind of pain for what she did. She looked away, trying to hide away her own concern for the moment. Caring for her father was such a terrible thing! "...And you..? ..You didn't get hurt ? "

   Poor Reiner, so kind, so unbelievably full of patience not a lot of people in the world had! Who knew, maybe he was VERY unique in that respect and no one could ever come close. "...Thank you..? " She was still unsure, though having actually paid some attention to Ariel in her usual chatty self, she was able to take some mental notes down on the way of communication! Though Ariel may of not been the Best source to learn from, it was better then nothing! Still, Ariel was polite enough that Sephriea was able to pick up on some of the things she said in her conversations with others. She happened to be one of the few she seemed to hang out around most,strangely enough. "I don't know what to say, you're....to nice...like her.." It was hard to understand feelings right now, but the fact that she was still talking to him may of shown she was enjoying his company without even realizing. Sephriea wasn't the most social young girl in the world, that much was obvious. It was very hard for her to try to talk to people without wanting to quickly leave seconds into any attempt of conversation."I don't want to hurt you. Only bad people..and monsters...I only hurt them.." She seemed to not like the idea of him mentioning her accidentally hurting him. "..Ariel's always talking about fun...now you. Is it really that important? ...Why? I don't know how you have fun.." She glanced at Ariel, then to Reiner again. "Let's.. just go..to Banora.." She motioned for the other three to step close to her, holding both hands out to them. "...You have to hold on to me.." "Teleporting is so fun, it's like a roller coaster ride when you get to the other side! " Ariel said cheerfully, though her whole idea was to gain Aiko's attention, surely that sounded fun to her, and would be hard to resist wanting to experience that herself! "Come on, Aiko. Let's hold hands. It's even more intense the more people there are with us! " As she reached for Sephriea's offered hand, she held out her other free one for Aiko. "...I think you're just saying that..." Gods, Aiko was way to suspicous for her own good. Funny how right she was, though. "Whatever! I'll go only because I want to see what this Banora place looks like! And the weird named apples...They better be good! Like candy! "
And without much said on Sephriea's end, the group would vanish from Midgar's church, only to re-appear seconds later just outside of Banora.
"....That's it..? ...You did lie, didn't you? Hmph! " "Some people...are weak to my teleport..I don't think Ariel lied.." "..Hmmmph! I'm going to look around then! " She marched right off, as if she cared so much about THAT, all she really wanted to do now was explore this new place. And gods, there was a lot to look at..

Dracula Once the group would appear there in Banora, they might be caught off-guard to see that they weren't alone. A very well-dressed man with a debonair aura--and power so incredible it radiated off of him--stood there beneath one of the trees. Of course, he felt them coming, and turned his gaze towards them. "Ah... company. It's a pleasure." He said, turning fully toward them now. It would take someone very insightful to see this man as anything other than a polite gentleman of high status. His gaze quickly went to Reiner and Aiko, as they all three could sense Serenitian heritage in each other. "My fellow countrymen, it's a wondrous day indeed to see others here. I am... Dracula, a noble of the Central Kingdom and one of King Eskallion's closest confidants. You may know me better as Exemplar Azreal." Indeed, if either were aware of history, that name carried a great weight--the second ever Exemplar after Exemplar Sandalphon. His contributions to Serenity were no less grand--he had almost as esteemed a career as Sandalphon himself."....." Though it would be nearly impossible to see through his guise, and even a knowledge of recent history wouldn't tell them Dracula's deeds, Reiner was acutely aware. He needed no insight check to know who this was. Her grandfather..."...Is there something wrong? You're of the Forest Kingdom, are you not? You seem to have royal blood. It's an honor to meet you.""...I... the honor is mine, of course. I'm just--nervous. I've never met an Exemplar before!" He quickly explained, trying to hide the slight shakiness in his voice. Even though Ariel and Aiko were also from the future, they wouldn't know very much about Dracula--not like he did. He knew how powerful this man was, and how dangerous. "What... brings you here, Exemplar Azreal?""Our worlds merged quite a while ago, but I've not had the time to venture into this world and see it for myself until now. I always seem so very busy! Always something to do for someone like me. You must understand, being royalty." His head tilted slightly, and Reiner could feel his gaze piercing right through him ."...Your eyes are the same as Althesa's, yet I don't remember her having a son with teal hair. But I haven't been to the Forest Kingdom in a long time. I should return sometime soon... it really is a lovely place.""...Yes... it is." He was finding it harder and harder to breathe. There was no way Dracula wasn't trying to invade his mind to search for understanding. Reiner saw through him--and Dracula was far too intelligent not to notice. He just needed to ensure he didn't see anything about Aria."...Well, it has been a pleasure. But I don't want to interfere any more in your enjoyable trip. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. Many more places to survey, and my son isn't going to be very happy with me if I leave him in charge of my affairs for too long." He said with a pleasant chuckle, giving them a slight bow. "I hope you have a pleasant time..." He said, his eyes returning to Reiner's again, bearing into his--before turning away, and beginning to depart. (( OOC: ))

A curious tilt of her head, and Aiko was already looking right at the mysterious man. Even from the future as she was, she didn't recognize him at all. She did however, feel the immense power that radiated from him,a familiar feel to her, but even stronger then she was used to.His elegant clothing certainly made him stand out above the....well, crowed had there been one! Crossing her arms over her chest as she listened to him introduce himself. AIko.........didn't seem impressed, nor nervous, instead her suspicions of people continued to take over. "Are you sure your a Exemplar? ....I don't think you sound like one. Your clothes are way to nice to be some big powerful Exemplar. " She paused, continuing to look up at him, as if she was trying so hard to see through him, to see anything other then what he claimed to be. Unfortunately, Aiko wasn't skilled enough to be at that level of seeing through lies and magic. "...Sandalphon is much cooler, and fun! I like him best..He's definitely my favorite of all the Exemplar! " "...Sorry!!" Ariel suddenly stepped past Aiko, doing a little apologetic bow several times. She wasn't even part of the Serenitian race, yet she felt compelled to apologize for Aiko's rude behavior. "I'm really sorry for Aiko's rudeness...Mr.Azreal....Exemplar ....wait..am I being rude now? ..Ah! H-How should I address an Exemplar?! " Sily Ariel, her attempt to apologize to him was really making her look so silly, enough to cause Aiko to snicker to herself quietly!
Lucky for Ariel, Reiner was the one he seemed most interested in speaking with, as his attention remained mostly on him, giving Ariel a moment to calm down..
And by that time, Dracula was starting to make his leave..
"...Is he really what he says he was? " She finally asked, looking at Reiner now. "You seemed really nervous, are you okay? " It wasn't something she seen often, Reiner was always so care-free, so energetic and cheerful, a nervous Reiner was always something to make anyone begin to worry! "He seemed very nice...he is, isn't he? "

"...Reiner! " A familiar voice would come to his mind, and he might feel his attention drawn towards one of the abandoned buildings in the distance. "Hurry up and make up a story, say you want to check ahead for any danger, and come to me..." He would likely be able to sense her exact location now that she made it obvious, for a moment there he, and her departing grandfather there would not feel her presence at all as she 'locked' them all out. Only when he was far enough, did she allow it to be felt again! Though clearly, she was intending only one person find her.
Had he done as she said, he would make his way for the abandoned house in the distance, it was pretty dark, and for the most part a bit creepy even, yet Aria wasn't to phased by all that. She just waited there, beside the doorway for her love to enter through that door. ........and when he did, he would feel himself grabbed by his hand and pulled over to her, maybe a tad rougher then she meant, in her excitement to see him, she wasn't thinking about how pulling him so suddenly to her might throw off his balance a bit, and he would end up likely on his knees, falling right into her open arms that would instantly wrap around him in the happiest hug there ever was.It would match the happy smile on her usually angry face! Poor Reiner.

Dracula"Hmhmhm." Dracula let out in mild amusement as the youngest proved to be the least well-behaved. He didn't seem to be perturbed by her words, however. "Quite sure. Ever since becoming an Exemplar, I've devoted myself more to becoming a gentleman. I want to give my son an example of the sort of man to become--if all I did were indulge in battle, I wouldn't set a very good example, would I? ...Besides, it's what his mother would have wanted." He could tell she felt some kind of suspicion, but it seemed she was just suspicious by nature--she certainly hadn't seen through anything. Only one of them had, and it wasn't because he was so perceptive. He knew something ahead of time, somehow. "Most people do like him best. He's a man worthy of respect--I've collaborated with him many times." He paused as he looked down at the cat-eared girl. "...A royal of the Central Kingdom?" How was that possible? Perhaps he overlooked Althesa having a child he didn't know, but he certainly would know if this girl belonged to Eskallion. And the animal ears--that was a trait generally only present in the Forest Kingdom. He glanced at Reiner again, his eyes narrowing slightly. Teal hair... his spies had reported a man gaining considerable renown with that hair color. And he seemed close to the High Princess of the Forest Kingdom. What could this mean?
...He would need to think further on this. For now, he needed to keep appearances, as he turned his attention to Ariel. He responded to her words with a warm, friendly chuckle. "Address me however you like, young lady. You would have a difficult time trying to offend me, I promise. Accomplished though we may be, Exemplars aren't so different from normal Serenitians. Most of us are agreeable folk. If you've all met Sandalphon, I'm certain you see that." That was certainly true. Aside from talking up his accomplishments enough to annoy short-tempered people, he was pretty easy to get along with. And he had such a genuine desire to do good things just to help other people--and obviously he didn't mind the praise that came with it. "I hope that you all have a pleasant day. I hope when next we meet, I can introduce you to my son. He certainly could use more friends." He gave a courteous bow, before turning and beginning to depart.(( OOC: ))

  Reiner wasn't a fan of how Dracula seemed to start to try to put things together. He got some relief when he dismissed his royal lineage of the Forest Kingdom, but when he realized Aiko was a royal of the Central Kingdom--that clearly wasn't something he could simply dismiss. With his nervousness, he didn't think to try to read his mind, but even if he did, it would almost certainly be futile. Worse, Dracula would probably feel his attempt, and may be able to pry further into his mind through that connection. Best not to try. "...What?" He asked Ariel with a slightly shaky voice, beginning to calm down. "...Oh! Y-yes, everything is fine. He... certainly seems like a kind and noble man! I just... I've never met an Exemplar. My mother talks about how amazing they are, so I was simply nervous." As great as the idea of exposing Dracula may have been to the shortsighted, Reiner knew that was the absolute worst thing that could happen. Dracula's power was beyond absurd, and he knew Reiner knew what he was. The most likely scenario was he was ready for him to expose them, and would immediately turn to slaughter all four of them--and he'd have very little trouble doing so. Even if that didn't happen, even if they told everyone, all it would do is turn Dracula on the offensive. The very BEST case scenario there would be Dracula being defeated after killing many, many people. With the power at his disposal, Reiner didn't know many who could hope to stand against him, especially alone.
Though he was still somewhat shaken by that encounter, the voice that suddenly pierced his mind seemed to melt away his shakiness and nervousness rather instantly. Suddenly he was feeling great! "Uh, excuse." He said thoughtlessly, beginning to walk away, before blinking. "...Uh, I mean. This place is abandoned, you know? Let me go check if there's any monsters around. If there are, I can deal with them quickly! You should try some of the apples, Sephriea." He thought she might try to follow him to help him if he didn't give her another suggestion. And as sweet as that would be, he needed to be alone for a bit. He turned, walking with renewed vigor and a peppy step towards where he felt that presence.
"Ari-uh?!" Reiner said happily as he entered the building, though the suddenness of his girlfriend's pushy embrace certainly brought him to her, and put him on his knees. Still, that clearly didn't bother him for even a second, as he was just as quick to return her hug, even kneeling as he was. "Ah, I've missed you so much...!" He said jovially, his head moving slightly to the side. "Oh! Your tail is flicking around so fast--that's so cute!" Her demonic tail must have been a permanent curse in his presence, but it wasn't like she was trying to hide how happy she was here. "I've never been so happy to be put on my knees." He said lovingly, leaning in and kissing her stomach as he hugged her, which was a totally normal thing to do for a girl who wasn't pregnant. He was just so happy to be with her! And cutely, the feeling was mutual. She was always so adorable when she acted like this. He was really the luckiest man in the world to be treated to this side of her, he firmly believed that.

With her happy victim in her clutches, there was no escape! As if he wanted to, if given the opportunity, she would just hug him all day and never let go! Some girls loved plushies to cuddle, well, Aria was much different. Her favorite cuddling option was her boyfriend, the boyfriend no one else knew about! From the start of their relationship, they decided, rather, she thought the best idea was to hide it. to keep up the appearance of her 'coolness', but also unknown to him, to keep him safe. She didn't exactly trust the Reapers, her mother wasn't exactly on good terms with most of them. She figured if any of them knew of their relationship, it would put him in danger. So despite how much she wanted to be close to him all the time, she would keep this little secret going a while longer, at least until the Reapers numbers started to drop.
"I missed you more, much much more! " Gosh, if any of their friends seen them like this, they might think Aria wasn't Aria at all! It would certainly be the strangest and most confusing sight of their lives. Her, talking like that. It just didn't happen in front of anyone else, ever. "Ah--! Well..That's because i'm so happy to see you.." Her face lit up in a soft blush. "Oh, really? Then..let's just stay here for the rest of the day. Just. Like. This! " She beamed, only to fall into a quiet laughter with that little kiss to her stomach. It ended up tickling her more then she would have thought. "If only you didn't have company..I want to stay here at least a little longer..at the very least.." She leaned her head down a bit, so the bottom of her chin rested just above his head gently as she hugged him again a bit tighter! "I-love-you~!" She whispered happily. Yep. This was a whole new person in the presence of Reiner!
With the mysterious Exemplar making his way to depart, seeming to be in a hurry to leave them, Ariel gave him a kind smile and wave goodbye, before she turned to look around their surroundings. There were no 'dumbapples' here. At least, not in this particular area. "Hmm..well then! I guess it won't hurt to look for them ourselves? I don't think anything living even exists here..it really is abandoned. Do monsters get drawn to abandoned towns? " Seemed odd to think of them wanting to stick around in a place like this, she really didn't think there was anything to worry about.Everyone was just so paranoid! "Alright! Let's go search for the apple tree's..they must be further into the town. Sephie...you can sense things, right? ..A bit like the Serenitians, so, can you pay attention to Reiner too? You know..in case anything happens with him, you can go to him right away! " With a nod from Sephriea, they began to start on their little fun search for the great and so famous apples.

She grinned, looking as smug as ever as she sat herself proudly atop at one of the higher branches, they were pretty thick and solid, so the worries of anything breaking, especially under her light weight, were pretty much non-existent! She held the famous apple there in the palm of her hand, looking down with mischievous eyes at the pouting Ariel who could not get herself up that tree if she tried! "What's the matter? ..Did you want one? " She said as she took a slow, teasing bite of the surprisingly sweet apple. "Ohh..It really is sweet, sweet as sugar! It's so sad your to weak to try one yourself....hee.hee.." She then grabbed another apple off the tree, teasing her as she took another bite of the first one, taking a moment to chew the sweet fruit and swallow before speaking again. "..How badly do you want to try one? Hmm? " She continued to eat the apple while teasing the heck out of Ariel. "...I want one! ...I want to take some back for my dad and mom too! Come onnnn!! A-I-K-O! Drop some down for us too!! " Her begging only seemed to make Aiko's face fall into a more evil grin. " It would be nice to bring back a bunch for everyone to enjoy! Serenitians especially! " They seemed to enjoy the healthier things more then meat, at least, that is what she thought from the few she knew well enough that didn't even touch meat! "...Hmmmmm.....wellllll....There is a way I can! ....For every apple I grab for you, you have to do something for me for that many days.Is it worth being my slave for a while, hmmmm?! You have to buy me whatever I want, too! " As if Ariel was loaded or something. "..What! ...That's...so mean! ..Fine! I'll do it! " ....That was fast. "..What? Just like that? Not even a argument?! Wow...to be so nice is SUCH a curse.." Ariel's determination to get a bunch for a good amount of people was going to be her downfall, as she became Aiko's slave! "He,hee..Well then..I'll--! " Rather then finishing her words, a shriek would escape the smug young girl as the blur of silver and black rushed past her, from atop the tree, before it was gone again and on the ground standing as if she did absolutely nothing. In the next moment, the cracking of the very branch Aiko was seated on began to sound, this branch was loaded with many, many apples! Including one bad one, and that bad ones name was Aiko who would fall with the tree's branch! " EEeeeeeee!! "Well, good thing she had great agility and reflexes, as she was able to land pretty impressively on the ground.It wasn't a deathly height, but it was enough that Ariel couldn't reach it. Aiko's abilities were typically fast moving and again, great reflex, so getting up that tree was a piece of cake for her. "Ah...Oh my gosh.. Are you okay?! " Clerly she was, still that wouldn't stop sweet ol'Ariel from being concerned. "....." Sephriea stood there, looking blank as ever as she reached down...picking off one of the apples from the tree, and handing it to Ariel. "......There." The look on the girls faces was pretty priceless. Even Aiko didn't know how to respond to that. THAT was Sephriea's attempt of helping. "....Did I do something wrong..? " She questioned her, all the while still holding out the apple! "Ah,haha..." Well, that...was unexpected. It was hard to keep herself from giggling. "...N-no...Thanks, Sephriea! You saved the apples from the evil apple hoarder..and now I don't have to be her slave! " Aiko on the other hand, just turned away, crossing her arms with the loudest, most irritated hmph anyone has ever heard.
