Y/n POV:

I'd been searching for a couple hours now, but to no luck. This house may have been big, but why was it this big?? Whatever, I'd go looking again after breakfast. All of our previous items had been burnt to ash by the South Eastern Wolf Tribe. Weapons, pictures and all. I felt pretty crappy after that little realization that the rest of my stuff was either stolen, or still on my boat(that most likely had already been taken by Michi).

   I made due with the grey and white patterned jumpsuit/romper with shorts connected to it instead of long pants, topped off with a thin F/c shah. I felt a lot less frightening and a lot more miserable with these cursed ears(the tail was covered). Aphmau was sitting with Nicole at the dinning table. Going over the last of the details that happened, starting off with when they first left to the Irene Dimension.

    Glad I missed that hell of a long run through. "Wow, Laurence is probably dead asleep in his room too. I can't believe he went full Shadow Knight... That's... Incredible... Did you use your Irene powers to stop him?" I halted halfway down the stairs, not too fond of the endless teasing that would soon fall upon me when Nicole found out. "Nah, it was Y/n and we all know how super strong she is."

   They both snickered at the comment as I felt grateful for the short term coverup. I plopped down in the closest seat available, enjoying the early meal prepared by our host. "Ah Y/n, we have spared many times. You gradually became a lot stronger than me as time flew, though I don't like to admit it. Now, you stopped Laurence by fighting him, that must have been some battle..." I sighed softly hitting my temple against the table.

   "That's, not what actually happened...I had gotten a brief moment to even think of it but... I had kissed him... to calm him down..." Nicole fell silent as I stayed on the table, waiting for her bullcrap reaction. "O-oh, forgive me for asking..." Now that was the voice of a fangirl. I tiredly glared up at the scarlet head. "So are you and Laurence... a 'thing' now??? Could you not take it anymore by looking at him after all these years? The hot guy was suddenly turned into a bad boy because his woman was gonna marry another man! OoooOooo~~ I bet you like smooching Laurence!"

   Nicole had been the most persistent in finding out my feelings towards the situation when they first left. I harshly tried shoving Nic out of her chair from her embarrassing statements. None of which are even true! "IT WAS JUST ONE KISS!" I got a head shake in return with a 'tsk' noise. "Nah, not how I see it. Picture this: full moon, wedding taking place, GUY OBJECTS but the audience doesn't agree with him so he kills them all... then you're just like LAURENCE TAKE ME *muah! muah! muah!*"

I swatted her and her faces away. Aphmau snickered before making what she thought was a harmless comment. "Is that how you got with Dmitri's dad?" Nicole and I froze up. 'Oh yeah, Aphmau doesn't know.' Aph realized her mistake and apologized multiple times. Nic was fine but surprised was all, glancing over to see my reaction a couple times. I cleared my throat from the arising awkwardness.

"Speaking of the kid, where's he go?" Most likely Dmitri knew where what I was looking for was. I got a knowing look in response with a slight smile. "Probably running around somewhere, annoying the civilians. He'll be back soon." I nodded with a sigh, pushing my chair out as it scratched against the wood. "Imma go take a power nap. Lord knows o won't be getting much sleep later." I got a laugh out of that before ascending back upstairs.

The covers and box spring shrunk under my weight. The tension of the past few days had finally been leaving my system. That doesn't automatically make me forget about it though. Eyelids closed shut, forcing the land of uncomprehendable to take over.

Black space and sparkling stars. I stood though there wasn't anywhere to actually put my feet. I wondered why now of all times would he finally show up. Stars pixelated into that annoying form. I didn't show much of a reaction other than crossing my arms. The kid still had his galaxy/glitter cape on. "So what chu been up to?" I rolled my eyes just staring at him again, expectedly.

He groaned and folded his legs, having expected me to be more compliant. "Alright, alright. I admit I haven't been very active in a minute or two. But look how well you've been doing for yourself!"

"Of by well you mean being kidnapped, turned into another species, and losing my stuff then yeah. I'd agree with that." I wasn't mad at the guy, what do I have to be mad about? Just irked at his timing. "Not to mention you almost FINALLY got a boyfriend." Amarion had mischief written on his face. "Oh, Laurence~ we need to have a long and romantic talk about my feelings towards you~! But before that, please give me another reason why I should fall head first for Garroth Ro'meave~ The long lost, shy, hot, 22 year old with a harsh sibling rivalry, and silky blond hair~"

Amarion had unnervingly replicated my voice while saying all that. Cackling in fits right after. "Very mature for a god isn't it?" He calmed down, pulling out what appeared to be sparklers. The color-coated sticks of gunpowder on a metal stick that sparkles. Haven't seen one of those in a while. "Of course! As mature as you've been anyways."

"Hey, I lost all my valuable items in under 3 days!"

"Are you sure you lost all of them?" I didn't know what he meant by that and didn't say anything. Amarion handed the sparkler to me, lighting it with a snap of his fingers. "They're gonna find out you know. They'll suspect you've been hiding something when he shows up later." I sighed looking at the glow and soft heat in my hands. "...It's not that simple you know... Not the most wanted conversation either."

"You know that's not gonna make it harder on anyone else but yourself? All this stressful stuff that you won't tell not only them, but everyone else"--the sparkler sputtered before dying-- "you're gonna burn yourself out Y/n." I wiped my hands off as it turned to dust. "...yeah... I guess you're right... I'll at least get the one thing off my chest for now."

Amarion seemed satisfied with my answer as he started fading out. "Clock's ticking."
