"Where you go, I go.
What you see, I see."

"Here." Aries placed two plates of eggs and bacon infront of her two new companions. "Hope you guys aren't vegans."

"Nope, not at all." Gemini feasted on the food she was given. She wasn't sure why she was so hungry, all she knew was that she need to keep shoveling the food into her mouth like her life depended on it.

"Geez, girl." Unlike Gemini, Leo took time in eating her food. "It's not going anywhere.."

Pushing the plate aside as she had already finished her food, Gemini apologized about her manners and thanked Aries for her hospitality.

"It's no problem. Since you two are going to be around from now on there's not point in fighting it, might as well start getting used to it."

"Uhm.. about that.." Gemini looked at Aries with hopeful eyes.

"What?" Aries raised a brow.

"What exactly are we allowed to do?"

"Ah!" Laughing, Aries turned around, facing away from the island Gemini and Leo sat at. She started fixing herself something to eat. "Leo's allowed to do anything, go anywhere. We're not accountable for her."

"As for you," Aries left the bacon to fry before facing the duo. "we need to know where you are at all times. When we go on missions, you'll be right there beside us."

"And if you were to go all demon princess on us," Aries brought her hand up and swiped it against her neck; gesturing a knife slitting a throat.

"It's lights out for you. Got it?"

Gemini pressed her lips together and nodded. 'I really am a prisoner, aren't I..?' She thought.

"Where's Gemini goes, I go." Leo crossed her arms. She was serious. If Leo was serious, that means you need to be serious as well. It's not often that she actually acts her age instead of teenage boy going through puberty. "We're a package deal. I need to know that you two understand that."

Aries pulled herself onto the counter, crossing her legs, slowly eating her bacon. Aries studied them for a moment before her lips curved into a grin.

"I see. That's quite loyal of you. I admit I must respect that."

Leo kept her facial expression firm, making sure it wouldn't falter as she practically melted at Aries's words. It felt good to be acknowledged by someone as beautiful as her.

"But if you're gonna stick around as well, then you're going to have to learn to defend yourself against supernatural creatures. Such as the one you two were attacked by last night."

"Only me? What about Gemini? Won't she need to learn how to defend herself as well?" Leo asked. Gemini agreed with her.

"Gemini need not worry about that. As last night must've proved, she can defend herself quite well." Leo was about to interrupt her, but Aries cut in before she could. "But if push came to shove, I would protect her, as would Aquarius."

"Why can't you just protect Leo too?" Gemini didn't appreciate how she would end up being a Mary Sue cliche and Leo would have to fight for herself. It just wasn't fair. It's either they protected both of them or they'd have to defend themselves.
