The simple brown haired boy stood at the window facing the backyard, a mug of hot barley tea in his hands as he leisurely sipped it every once and awhile. His eyes stayed focused on a certain girl, each of her swipes to the practice dummy she had created last night were flawless, each swing full of pure elegance but still the girl remained frustrated at each.

A man full of muscles that was currently stuffing his face with tacos now came to stand behind the younger boy, the only recognition he earned was a hmph noise from the simple boy before he finally asked a question, "does she always do this?" curiosity laced his voice in an obvious manner but hidden underneath it was worry.

The Servamp gave out a grunt as he stuffed the last taco into his mouth, in an instant it made way down his throat as he gave his casual response, "ever since she became my Eve. She relies on physical strength instead of her lead." the man vanished, most likely to get some more food for his never quenched hunger.

This left the boy all alone to ponder over his thoughts of the girl, she seems to have come back stronger than ever even though she is now human. Day and night all she would ever do was train her physical strength, Mahiru had actually never seen her use her lead even when she saved him she only used a regular knife.

If that's truly her strength without even using her power as an eve, how strong has she really become over these last few months?

Now that the boy thought about it, she gave no information on anything of her position as an eve and everything important about owning a Servamp. He had no idea of the name Gluttony was given, he can only assume the item that resembles a collar around his neck must be their contract item, he is not sure of where Aliena's lead is even hidden.

Finally as he grew annoyed with these thoughts he found himself opening the door to the outside, now in person with the match of Aliena and the dummy, he very hesitantly made his way over towards her and once the two were only a foot apart the graceful swings of the knife had come to a pause.

Without a second thought his mouth opened and out came a question he assumed he would regret asking her "why don't you use your lead?" that small smile that gave her hope appeared yet again on his face in order to hide the underlying fear of asking such a question to a girl holding a knife.

The knife in her hand found itself plunged into the heart of the dummy out of frustration before she turned back towards the boy she had always found herself calling her sort of brother, "I've felt like a useless piece to the world lately and I'd rather not depend on such powers just to prove it even more" her grip tightened against the handle of the knife before that hand found itself slipping out of fatigue.

Without any hesitation, not even to await the response of the boy stood in front of her, she walked away to the streets, her phone was yanked out of her jeans pocket as she sent a quick text to her Servamp that she'll be gone to karaoke for a bit and would be back before nightfall by the least.

She wouldn't be out for more than six hours so neither her nor her Servamp had to worry about that sickening distance limit they had been cursed upon with, Aliena was a girl of personal space so it was agony to be stuck with the man she found to be gross at times.
