After staying for the night, Rera awoke to a knock on the door. Confused and half awake, Rera lazily got out of bed to open the door. Much to her surprise, it was Erith who stood before her.
Her magenta eyes complimented her light pink hair, yet they harshly looked down on Rera. Unsure of her hostility, Rera smiled and greeted Erith.
"Good morning, Erith."
"Good morning, Lady Rera." Erith bowed, "Did you enjoy your rest?"
"L-Lady?"
"Her Highness left a letter for you." Erith continued, pulling out a piece of paper from her pocket. "She left on a mission with her Knights."
"Ah...thank you." Rera nodded.
Rubbing her eyes, Rera read the paper carefully.
Dear Rera,
I apologize for not speaking to you in person, but I have a mission issued to me by the Grand Master. I would love to spend more time with you, but duty calls! I will come back as soon as possible, so in the meantime, Erith will spend time with you! Not to worry, she's wonderful with kids. I have no doubt you'll get along with her!
Sincerely, Rinea

"ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEEE?!"
"Lady Rera?"

Walking around the rose garden, Rera stops to look at the Crystalflies. She would enjoy this on a normal day, but couldn't because of the hostile atmosphere. Erith followed her, but constantly glared at her with such eyes that made it hard to be herself.
"I can't believe her..." Rera cursed in her head, "Why would she leave me with her..."
"Mmm...sucks to suck." Loki snickered.
"Oh go fuck yourself. She's as hostile as Xiao when I first met him."
"Just act cute and clueless. That seemed to work."
"Barely..."
"E-Erith..." Rera called, "Do you like the garden?"
"...Yes. It's quite beautiful." She replied.
"Which rose is your favorite? The color, I mean."
"...Blue and white. Like her Highness."
"She likes those colors too?"
"She likes all colors of the rose. But I prefer those."
"I see..."
"..."
"And what about you?" Erith asked, kneeling beside her. "What is your favorite?"
"...Red...and purple." Rera responded, touching a fallen petal.
"Why? Because of your eyes and horns?" She scoffed.
"No. Because...they're the first flowers I ever received from a close friend." Rera smiled softly.
"Hmph. Good enough."
"What?"
"Passion and desire...wonder and mystery. Heh, whoever picked out those colors must be pretty damn spot on."
"..."
"Rinea told me how she saved a family of thieves from being arrested. Were you one of them?"
