(Fwench Fwy and Iscream's POV)

Synopsis: Fwench Fwy and Iscream finally arrive, moreover having a crucial discussion about IceT and Chikin's relationship.

The mint-green fox opened the door to see none other than Fwench Fwy and Iscream greeting her with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, Slushi! Sorry we came so late - Iscream here couldn't choose what to bring with them," Fwench Fwy explained, glaring their eyes at the bunny in a playful manner as said bunny chuckled at their partner's antics.

"Well, you can't rush this kind of stuff," Iscream reasoned as they both came inside Slushi's house. "Demon summonings can be a delicate thing."

When the fox had led them to the living room where everyone was chatting, they were both surprised to see IceT and Limon among the group. They instantaneously looked at each other, nodding their heads in agreement before directing their attention towards Slushi.

"Okay, so we're almost done this round of charades, but you guys can still watch if you'd like-"

"Actually, you guys can continue your game without us," Fwench Fwy interrupted her, taking Iscream by their shoulders and preparing to move them to another room. "I have to go ask Iscream about something, but we'll be done by the time you guys are."

"Alright then," Slushi shrugged off as she went to sort out the last match everyone would participate in. The two immortals hurried into the fox's kitchen, Iscream being the first to break the tense silence between them.

"Did you know they'd be here?" They rapidly whispered to their partner, an uneasy expression on their face.

"No, I didn't! They're obviously the surprise guests Slushi was talking about."

"But this means they're only going to get closer to the demigod and his friends!"

"It's not necessarily a bad thing, but if Chikin really does have feelings for the mouse, then we can use it to our advantage," Fwench Fwy thought aloud for Iscream to hear. "Him being in a relationship like that could help him to steer off the path of chaos and onto the path of righteousness!"

"Or it could make things a lot worse!" The bunny retorted back in discontent. "Remember when we got into that fight about my blood rituals, and you trapped yourself in a circle of salt just to get me to stop them?"

"What if she and Chikin do the same thing, but he doesn't listen and ends up doing something that warps all of reality?" Iscream said sternly with furrowed brows. "It's just too much of a risk to go through with."

Fwench Fwy and Iscream had been going back and forth with this notion for some time now, yet no progress was made as to how they should approach Chikin's current feelings towards IceT. The wish dragon believed that being in love could help the demigod to learn kindness on a deeper level, become more virtuous and ultimately turn away from the doomsday prophecy that they were both worried about.

However, the bunny demon was more bothered about the downsides to the potential affair of hearts, ignoring its good possibilities in favor of its disadvantages. They were mostly concerned about how either Chikin or IceT could deal with the complications of their relationship in a rather disastrous way, leading to the demigod's fulfillment of the prophecy they were trying to prevent.

"But what if they do work things out in the end?"

"I dunno...I think it's better if we just leave things alone as they are. What we're already doing should be enough, right?"

"Yes, but we need to make sure every influence directed towards Chikin is good, and that includes whatever he feels for her," The wish dragon pointed out, turning their head to the dog and mouse conversing with smiles on their faces. "We can't leave anything up to chance."

This elicited a sigh from the demonic bunny, running their paw down their face in resignation. "Alright, we'll go with your idea then. I just don't want to have to deal with all the lovey-dovey stuff in their relationship."

"Don't worry, I'll be the one to watch over all that," Fwench Fwy said with a laugh, leading Iscream back to the living room where all their friends awaited them.

As everyone greeted both of them accordingly, the two of them chose to properly introduce themselves to IceT and Limon, the wish dragon being courteous and polite to them while the demonic bunny's acknowledgement contained a more threatening aura around it.

"Hello! I know we've already met, but I hope we can get to know each other more!" Fwench Fwy said, their naturally cheery disposition allowing them to put the critters at ease.

"You already know me, but I'm hoping we can get closer and talk business," Iscream started with a cunning smile, putting on a suave look as they approached the two. "What's it gonna take for you guys to become blood donors?"

"...Why do you need our blood?" IceT asked with apprehension, inching closer to her feathered friend on the couch for comfort.

"Eh, nothing much. I'm just going to use it to summon a few friends of mine. You guys don't mind seeing fresh skeletons, right? Because they're probably going to bring some live vermin over and-"

"Don't scare their pants off! You already do that in their store!" Fwench Fwy abruptly shut them off from talking any further with a stern frown, earning a playful chuckle from their partner. "Sorry about them, they're not always like this. Once you get to know them, Iscream is actually pretty pleasant to be around!"

"Yeah, you don't have to sweat it. After all, we do have to appreciate the short things in life," Limon remarked with a sly smile directed towards the mouse seated next to her, who dramatically gasped in return with a paw on her chest.

"I'm not that short!" IceT retorted in response to the owl's tease. "I'm fully capable of reaching our shelves at home by myself!"

Before the exchange could continue, their attention was then suddenly brought to Slushi clapping her teal paw pads together, standing in the middle of the room as all eyes were on her. "Alright, everyone! Our viewing of God Games starts soon, so get some pillows and make yourselves comfortable!"

The group then started to either move to gather more cushions and blankets or to find a new position in the living room to sit. The owl waited for a moment before leaning over to her rodent friend to whisper in her round ear. "Hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. When I leave, I want you to try and sit closer to Chikin over there."

She gestured to where the dog was resting in the middle of the room, on the large magenta carpet where the TV was facing. IceT's eyes widened at Limon's suggestion as she turned her head to confirm that her friend wasn't teasing her.

"Wait, you're serious? But why?"

"Just trust me. I think he'll appreciate it."

"But what if he doesn't? What if he'd rather sit with Chee or someone he actually knows?"

"I'm pretty sure he knows you well enough to want to sit next to you. Do you want to sit with him?"

With that, Limon hopped off the couch and left for the washroom, leaving IceT alone in the realization that perhaps she did wish to be seated beside Chikin as if they were more than just acquaintances. Observing his comforting eyes and swaying tail, she then left her seat with a sigh to proceed towards the unsuspecting dog.
