You know, bad as people may see it, it was fun seeing so many children around and not having to be one myself. I'm... not saying I'm a perfect mother or anything but... it feels nice looking after someone. Especially nicer when you get to see the results of raising someone, even if for just a short while

It was strange, seeing her grown like that... particularly as the opposite happened to me.

I'm a little surprised I didn't run into you in that state, actually.

[Action]

[former_third]

I thought not... We should probably sit down, then. It's kind of important that I explain it for this, and you might be a little shocked.

[[She takes Nel's hands and walks her to the couch, sitting beside her.]]

Alright dear, do tell.

[She takes a breath, collecting her thoughts, before starting.]

The simplest way to put it is that we're... ghosts. We're the imprints of human souls who couldn't pass on properly. That's where my mask comes from. [She gestures unnecessarily at the broken skull on her head.]

The way we survive is, well... we eat souls. I've managed to substitute power from Luceti's spirits while I'm here, but Lily didn't have any pacts. So when she got hungry...

[[Val listens intently, managing to make sense of everything Nel explains.]]

I see... and if you brought her here, Kirimi or I would be in danger.

But... that is new... you manage to feed off the spirits instead of harming others. I'm glad you found a harmless alternative.

[Action]

[former_third]

Exactly. I couldn't bring her here until I'd taught her to do what I've learned to do.

I am as well. The last thing I want is for everyone in the town to be treating me like the enemy.

Believe me dear, I know what that's like. Fortunately we'vev both risen above that.

And don't you worry, my opinion of you hasn't changed one bit. But now i know a little more about you. [[She punctuates it with a hug.]]

[The reassurance gets a gentle squeeze and a nuzzle to her shoulder from Nel, who smiles faintly.]

Thank you, Val. It feels... good, to get this off my chest.

Re: [Action]

[aero_dienamic]

[[Val draws away so she can better get right up on you.]] And I'd bet there's something better to get off of your chest. Hmmmm♥

[Action]

[former_third]

[She goes a little red, then glances around nervously.]

But Val, isn't Kirimi home?

Re: [Action]

[aero_dienamic]

[[Val giggles a little.]] Mmmm... no. She's off with a friend. I don't keep her stuck at home just because she's young.

[Action]

[former_third]

Oh. [And she visibly relaxes, smiling.] Well in that case...

[She leans in to nuzzle Val's cheek.]

Re: [Action]

[[Val cranes her neck and kisses Nel in the crook of her neck.]]

[Action]

[former_third]

[She giggles.]

Val, that tickles.

[Action]

[aero_dienamic]

But it feels nice, doesn't it? [[She speaks into her neck, kissing it over and over. Val makes a gentle tug at her top then slides a hand up underneath it slowly]]

[Action]

[former_third]

Mmm... yes.

[She tilts her head for Val, letting her get at more of her neck, and her hands go to her sides, caressing her.]
