Aruka: Hmm. (I was dreaming, flashes of a woman appeared in my head. She had chestnut hair with light brown eyes, and looked about late twenties. She was badly beaten, and appeared to be crying.) 'That woman....' (Then, an image of her sitting in a rocking chair, holding an infant came to mind.)
'Who is she....?' Mmmnngh... (I was waking up from someone walking down the stairs, and turned to someone standing at my bedside.) MOTHER OF IRENE!!! (I jumped up, and they caught me.) Oh, Garroth, it's you.

Garroth: Good morning, Lady Aruka.

Aruka: Good morning, Garroth. (I sighed, as I got down, and walked to Levin's room.)

Garroth: I wanted to see how you were doing. (I went in, as he followed, and I picked up Levin, comforting him.)

Aruka: Oh, is that so? (I smiled, changing Levin, and playing with him.)

Garroth: Yes, since I was concerned about your health, I thought it only be polite to check up on you. (He watched as I put Levin back in his crib, and faced him.)

Aruka: Garroth, why do I get the feeling that there's something more than just checking up on me? (He jolted, and I sighed.)

Garroth:....

Aruka: What is the real reason you came here, besides my health...? (He sighed.)

Garroth: To be honest, we just got reports from overseas... (He trailed off, looking down.)

Aruka: Its about Levin's Mother, is it not...? (I turned toward Levin, and watched him.)

Garroth: Yes.... its a lead on where she might be.... (I gained a saddened expression.)

Aruka: Aphmau will be devastated... (He sighed.) She has really grown to love Levin.

Garroth:....

Aruka: It'll be hard giving him over to his mother....

Garroth: Its the right thing to do, Aruka....

Aruka: Hm. (I cleared my throat, and turned to Garroth.) Well, you can look after Levin. I'm sure Aphmau won't mind. (I stepped out of the room.) As for me, I'm going to relax in a bath or the ocean shore.

Garroth: Hahahaha! (He smirks at me, but I shrug.)

Aruka: I need to clear my head, see ya. (I grabbed my bag, and left.)


Author: Sorry for the short chapter! 😭 I completed this chapter a few days ago, and tried to copy and paste it, but a friend at school distracted me, and I clicked paste instead of copy on accident! And, I had the whole chapter highlighted, too!! Once I made that mistake, it pasted the title instead, and I had to recreate the chapter from memory (which in my case, was very stressful!). So, sorry if it sucks. I tried. Bye!
