Éclair's P.O.V

"Clair!!"
Ead enveloped me with his bone crashing hug.

Victoria hit his head.

"Ow! The heck was that for?!"

"She just got back safely yet here you are trying to kill her with your hug."

"Awe..come here Vic. I'll hug you too...my familiar is so feeling jelly." He laughed teasingly.

"A-are you not feeling well?" I asked her sincerely.

She didn't answer me and joined all the others with their loud laughter. I wonder what's so funny about that. Still,a smile escaped my lips.

"Ughh.." I sighed

Err... This is embarrassing. But I guess I have to do it.

"What is it Clair?"

"I- uh- th-thankyouallforhelpingme."

They all looked confused.

"What was that lady Éclair?"
Maud asked grinning.

I think she understood what I said yet she just wanted to tease me.

"Th-thank you for helping me and I'm sorry for the trouble I caused."
I said it as fast as I could but I made my words clear this time.

"Awwee..you're so cute!" -Maud

"Yeah. Here. You can hug
Rin-chan too!"-shoú

"If you're always like that, I'll be your familiar." - Vic

"Hey! You traitor. What about me?" - ead asked

"Sorry red, you suck."

They all laughed again except Ead who's now regressing. Bet that really hurt his pride.

"You're welcome lady Éclair. But, we didn't really do anything." -vic

I faced her.

"Raven was the one who kicked asses to save you. We just got worried for nothing" she smiled jestingly.

That reminds me...

"Where is he?"

Blanche isn't here with us too.

"I thought he would come home with you." -Vic

What if he was captured? Who's going to help him? He really is reckless.

"Don't worry lady Éclair. He just took care of some other things. He's safe."

Maud said reassuring me.

"I-I am not worried!" Lie.

Vic smiled teasingly.

"What about Blanche?" I changed the subject.

"She got drunk so she fell asleep early."

"I see."

"Well, time to rest everyone! We still have a long day tomorrow." -Vic

"Oyasuminasai mina-san!!" -Shoú

"What?" Almost all of us asked.

"He said good night everyone." -Maud informed us.

We went to out room separately and bid our night greetings. I entered my room and washed up to go straight to bed and sighed.

My mind seemed to be filled with that familiar of mine since I didn't get to see him when I got back. Even when I was at the mountain, he was all that appeared in my head aside from a way to escape..still, to be with him. Wondering if he's alright, I prayed that he's safe and that he didn't kill anyone before closing my eyes to sleep.
