-Like you, I'm not alone either. Mei expressed, looking tenderly at Velvet.
-What do you mean? Nick asked, securing the bird's cage even more.
-I have a companion too; she's waiting behind the door. Mei said with one of her cute smiles; they both arrived at the door; Mei opened it and a cute golden retriever could be seen sitting a few steps away from the door wagging her tail.
-She's a cutie Mei. Eragon spoke as he entered the "house".
-But she's a bit cold; she's Chula; my doggy daughter. Mei said with a chuckle.
Then Chula comes up to Nick; she starts sniffing him and suddenly starts wagging her tail.
-She likes you. Come on; let's have lunch. Mei added, leading her young friend into the dining room.
The inside of the house was painted white; and on it hung some pictures that Mei painted for pleasure; it had sophisticated ornaments and a bit vintage but still combined with the modern that she liked so much.
You have an open-concept house; it's very interesting.... Nick said, looking at every detail of the house.
-It makes the house look even bigger than it already is. Mei explained as she set the table, "Please; sit down.
-Thank you Mei. Said Nick sitting on one of the chairs in the dining room made of mahogany wood.
-By the way Nick; excuse me if the food is too simple; I'm not really a great cook. Mei commented, carrying the plates to the table.
-No problem; in case it didn't turn out as expected we can order pizza, hahaha.
-Here you go; I'm really crossing my fingers.
-But it looks really good; it looks delicious.
Mei went back to the kitchen and cut up a banana and some papaya for Velvet to eat.
When she came back they both started eating and lucky for Mei it was nice and fresh; Nick really loved it; then they started talking while eating (Don't worry about Chula; she has a food dispenser).
-I don't know if I said it but... How long have you been here? Nick asked, pausing to take some of the drink Mei made.
-I've been here for about 2 months. I came because I wanted to experience something new; to find inspiration again and it really happened, because Libeluz has a lot of beautiful things and it's medieval style. Said the artist confidently.
-You're right about that; but I have another doubt... Is the house yours?
-Unfortunately not; the house is rented; they charge me about 4500 crowns a month. Explained the lady.
-Wait... What?! 4500?! That's very expensive. The blond-haired gentleman was surprised.
-I chose it because it has a big yard for Chula to play in and because it is very safe; besides it is very modern; spacious and has everything equipped. The artist clarified.
-But it's still a lot.... Nick spoke, looking at her.
-I won't be staying long anyway; I'm going back to my country. declared Mei.
-To what? Asked the owner of the café.
-I painted some pictures and I need to do an exhibition. Said Mei.
-When are you leaving? Nick asked, a little intrigued.
-Next month. Mei replied ruefully.
-And will you come back? Nick asked again, somewhat saddened by his friend's departure.
-Of course; I plan to live here; I love it here; I'll buy a smaller house but with a nice yard. Mei said as she pictured her dream house.
-That's a good start. Nick commented.
-Exactly; but I want the house to be a little closer to the reincarnation gardens. When I had only been in Libeluz for about two weeks, I went to the library to look for a book about construction in the city and accidentally picked up an updated book about this myth. Mei went on.
-Everyone in this city knows about it. When a royal person; in those times; especially kings; queens; princes and princesses were reborn; Libellus flowers spread certain kinds of scents; the one of the queens resembles the typical perfume that ladies use; strong and sophisticated; that is called "The perfume of the queen". "The king's perfume" is similar to the one used by adults entering old age; strong and rich scents like wood or with a marine touch; "the prince's perfume" is very similar but it is a bit softer and with a slight smell of talcum powder; but everyone's favourite is "the princess's perfume"; I can't deny it; it is also my favourite; the smell is soft and delicate; something very similar to the rose perfume that you are wearing Mei. It smells very good. Nick finished explaining with a little compliment to Mei; she turned slightly red because she didn't think that the perfume; being so soft could be smelled by Nick.
-Thank you. Was all the blushing Mei could manage to say.
Both young adults finished their lunch; Nick helped wash the dishes and Mei finished tidying up and drying the kitchen; then they headed to the living room and continued the conversation.
-You know Mei; during these last 26 years, three "parfum de princesse" could be smelled. All in respective and very close years. Nick commented, wanting to increase the foreigner's curiosity.
-And what are those years? Mei asked.
-The years are: 26, 25 and 24. Explained Flamand.
-Surprising. So the last reincarnation is the age you are. Mei said bluntly.
-Exactly; although...
Nick went back to the worst trauma of his life; remembering the death of his beloved Sophia again; it made him sick; demonic marks emerged from the tip of his right hand; Chula sensed something negative and stepped in front of her owner; with a menacing look Chula started to show her fangs and growl at Nick; Mei was surprised to see her like that.
-Chula?! What's wrong with you?...Nick, are you alright?...Nick? Mei felt a little nervous about the situation and before it could get any worse, Velvet moved to Nick's shoulder and began to warble; like a snap of her fingers, the marks disappeared and Nick was able to react as Chula stopped growling and began to wag her tail.
