A Friend For Salvatore Moreau

Aoi and Angie's Plan

It had been quite a while since Aoi the Dutch Angel Dragon has lived in the village at House Beneviento in secret. Aoi never went out that much to avoid detection by the other lords and Miranda. Whenever she does go out, she's always been able to escape from everyone who did manage to spot her. Everyone knew Aoi was somewhere in this village but so far, no one has managed to catch her. The only friend the blue dragon had was Lady Beneviento who was very good at keeping a secret. The only other person who is okay with Aoi is Karl Heisenberg, who promised Donna to leave Aoi be after she told him in trust. Even Angie didn't speak of Aoi's presence to the others. That said, Aoi was very well aware of who Miranda and the lords were, thanks to what Donna told her and what she discovered for herself by playing Resident Evil Village. She knew that the mutant fish man Salvatore Moreau was quite the loner and that no one really liked him. She knew that even Angie called him names quite often and that he doesn't have any friends. He's always the underdog of the bunch. Knowing all this made Aoi a little sad but she was too afraid to meet Moreau herself and at this point in time, Donna thought it was better for Aoi not to be spotted by Moreau due to him probably being the most loyal to Mother Miranda and always aiming to please her. Spotting Aoi would most likely mean the end for her since everyone knew of Miranda's orders to capture Aoi and bring the dragon to her. A few months after learning about Moreau, Aoi decided to speak to her only friend and trusted being, Lady Beneviento. She wanted to speak with her about making a possible friend for the fish man. Donna was in her workshop creating more dolls and clothing for them when she suddenly heard a knock on the workshop's door. "Come in." said Donna. Aoi opened the door slightly and peeked through the opening. "Hey, miss Donna! Can we talk about something? It's about Moreau..." Aoi said. Donna then gestured for Aoi to enter the workshop so that the two could talk. Donna wasn't wearing her veil as she trusted Aoi, so she didn't feel the need to cover her face and huge abscess. After Aoi entered the room and closed the door, Donna got up and grabbed another chair for the dragon bean so the two could sit and talk together. Aoi walked to the chair next to Donna and sat down while the dragon grabbed her tail and placed it on her lap. "So what did you want to talk about regarding Moreau, Aoi?" Donna asked. Aoi then explained how he's always lonely and that he has no one to hang out with. She told Donna how perhaps the two of them could create a big plush friend for him and then bring it to life using the cadou. Aoi then looked at Angie and pointed at her, hinting at the fact the plush could come to life since Angie was in fact a doll herself implemented with the cadou as well. Donna could hear the excitement in Aoi's voice but deep down, Donna wasn't sure if this was going to work. "Aoi...While it is indeed a lovely idea, I'm not sure if it's gonna work..." Donna said with a sad tone. "W-What? Why not!?" Aoi responded quickly, with a very sad and upset tone. She didn't understand why Donna thought it wasn't going to work. "You see...With Angie, I-" Donna was cut off by Angie who was also in the workshop with them. She jumped on to the table and looked at the two ladies in front of her. "Speaking of me, Donna had part of her cadou removed through surgery and the removed part was placed inside of me! If that ugly fish thing really wants a friend, I'm sure he'd agree to having part of his cadou removed and then stuffing it into the plush thing we create, right!? I mean, since it's part of the same cadou but just split in half, it would allow the two to feel connected and communicate, just like with Donna and me!!" Angie said excitedly as she did a little silly dance on the table. "HEY! That could actually work, right!? Right, miss Donna!?" Aoi asked excitedly, almost clinging to Donna. The dollmaker giggled a bit as she pat the dragon bean's head. "Angie is right. That could actually work, but I would have to meet Moreau first and discuss with him what I'm planning. I will have to leave you out of the meeting part, Aoi, and I can't mention you at all for safety reasons. Understood?" The one eyed dragon nodded happily, fully understanding why Donna said that. "Good. Tomorrow, I'll head over to the reservoir and speak with Moreau about it. In the meantime, why don't you and Angie come up with ideas for how you'd like Moreau's friend to look like?" Donna asked her little sidekick doll and her guardian angel dragon. The two nodded. Donna decided to make some tea and get ready to go to bed since she planned on getting up early for the meet up with Moreau and it was already getting late. As Donna left, Angie giggled a bit. "Well, well, well! Looks like you and I finally get to work together on something, you one eyed freak! HAHAHA!!" Angie did her little dance again on the table as she laughed. Aoi just rolled her eye. "You do realize that you're also basically insulting Donna by saying that, right? Since she also technically has one eye." Angie quickly stopped dancing and growled a bit annoyed. "GAH!! I HATE how I don't even have a good comeback to counter that, you stupid dragon!!" Aoi chuckled a bit. "Heh, gotcha." A random doll on one of the shelves in the workshop then started to speak. "Are you two done fighting yet? Lady Beneviento would be so disappointed in you two if you can't even finish such a simple task without starting an argument." Angie growled more. "SHUT UP!!" Aoi hid her face in her fluffy paw to try and hold back laughter. Angie's tantrum made her want to burst out in laughter! "Alright, alright. The doll is right! Let's calm ourselves down and think of a cute little creature friend for Moreau! How about a cute plush dragon?" Aoi asked. "UGH! Another dragon!? LAAAAAME!!" Angie yelled and crossed her arms annoyed. "Well, what did you have in mind, then?" Aoi asked Angie. "How about a snail!?" Angie said, with an obvious tone that indicated she wasn't really taking this serious. However, Aoi decided to remain calm and looked at some of the dolls on the shelves. "Okay, guys! We need some help over here! Raise your hand if you agree with a plush dragon for Moreau or stand on one leg if you choose a snail instead!" Aoi said. All the dolls raised their hands except for maybe a couple who stood on one leg instead. "Well then! A plush dragon it is!" This made Angie even more annoyed. "And how about you are in charge of the colors and patterns, Angie?" Aoi felt a bit bad about Angie being so annoyed so she wanted to try and cheer up Donna's main doll a bit by having her be in charge of the color scheme. This seemed to calm Angie down a bit. This was the right step for Angie to take this seriously, so she did. "Hmmm....How about gray with polka dots? Maybe some long floppy ears as well?" Angie said. "Ooooh, Angie! I really like that! Good work! Perhaps the inside of the ears could be gray with white polka dots and maybe the paw pads, tongue and horns could be red with white polka dots! What do you think?" Aoi asked Angie. "Yeah, I like that!" Angie replied. The blue dragon Aoi and the crazy doll Angie finally started to get along together on this project. The two discussed more of their ideas as one of the clown dolls came along to help with drawing it out for them. It was now a three-person team and they worked on the designing project for another hour after the clock had already struck midnight. Aoi and Angie were really happy with how the final result of their idea for a plush dragon turned out and they couldn't wait to see Donna's reaction tomorrow! The two thanked the clown doll for helping them draw out their design and they left the workshop after turning off the lights to head to bed as well. They went to Donna's bedroom and Aoi hopped on Donna's bed, laying down next to her, curling her fluffy tail around Donna to keep her warm and cozy. Donna smiled in her sleep as she ran her hand through Aoi's soft blue fur, petting the dragon bean. Aoi purred softly and fell asleep shortly after. Angie jumped on Aoi's back and slept there.
