Alastor's POV
This party could not end fast enough.
All I wanted to do was go home with Ariel and curl up under the covers of my bed. Now that I actually get a good nights sleep every night, I've noticed I have a harder time leaving my bed all together.
Especially with her there. Her soft lips form the cutest pout when she sleeps, and I can't help but adore every moment I spend with her.
She had loosened up a bit it seemed, which is good in of itself, but I still feel uncomfortable having her around these cretins.
Right now she was about two feet away from me, chatting with a lower level overlord named Maizebeth. The girls giggled, pulling my attention towards them.
I think Ariel likes Maizebeth because she's relatively small for an overlord. She only owns a small portion of the eastern edge of the pentagram.
Standing only about 3 inches taller than my Ariel, she has buttons for eyes and rose to power through the use of necromancy.
Although we're already dead, she is able to steal the souls of those she kills and traps them within a dagger she holds on her belt. Those souls then reanimate when she fights.
It's a neat little trick.
I watched Ariel lean towards her and cover the side of her mouth like she was telling a secret before the girls broke into giggles once again. I took two steps and was right in front of them, hands behind my back as I smiled down at the obviously up to no good females.
Ariel shrunk away, putting her hand over her mouth to stifle her little fit of giggles. Maizebeth just leaned against the table we were standing by and looked up at me, a small smile on her face.
"My my, girls, what are we laughing at?" I asked, leaning down. Ariel got on her toes and got next to my ear, coving the side of her mouth again.
Oh, I didn't realize I was also going to hear the secret.
"You look funny standing next to us like a guard dog," she whispered and my ears perked up.
Oh, do I?
I lowered my eyelids on her and pulled back to see her eyes. They were glittering with humor as she giggled softly and I couldn't hardly hold my stern expression after seeing her like that.
My expression cracked and I chuckled, pulling back up to my full height.
"I just want to make sure no one is paying too much attention to you, darling," I hummed, hearing a giggle come from Maizebeth.
"And you dressed her like that?" She commented and I looked down at her, unamused. I sighed.
"I'm well aware of what she's wearing," I grumbled, "I wasn't happy about it, but...she looks fantastic, and she's happy in it so..." I realized Maizebeth was giving me a look and I tilted my head at her.
