I'm caught up rather enjoying the comfort of the Huedhaut's embrace, while staring strongly into his glistening sapphire eyes. It's not until I hear the cries of the two gods, Ichthys and Teorus who are trapped in Huedhaut's icy whirlwind, that makes me snap out of my mesmerized state, and look to the chaos that is punishing the two gods.

"Hue, stop the wind!" Teorus pleads.

"Y-yeah! We didn't do anything pervy!" Ichthys beseeches.

My eyebrows furrow, as I shoot the two gods a glare.

Teorus uncomfortably looks at Ichthys.

"I mean—wrong! We didn't do anything wrong!" Ichthys corrects himself.

"I see. Pervy, huh?" Huedhaut replies emotionlessly.

The two gods continue to beg while they shake in their boots.

"You shouldn't have said that, Ikky. You're digging our grave for us!" Teorus says, irritated.

"What?" Ichthys looks at him wide-eyed. "So now this is my fault?!"

"Be quiet." Huedhaut says.

He snaps his fingers again, and the wind vanishes from the room. And the arms that had been embracing me comfortingly, gently pull away. As he let's go I get a sudden chill as if his strong wind is still in the air, feeling a little lonely without the warmth of him now.

"Uh..." I awkwardly begin to say.

"What on earth is wrong with you?!" Huedhaut raises his voice ever so slightly.

I flinch at his outburst.

"The pranks you're constantly pulling are one thing, but going after a lowly goldfish?" Hue continues to say, directing the statement to Ichthys.

I breathe, thinking he was asking me that.

Ichthys smiles cheekily. "We found an interesting toy."

His eyes shift over to me, and I uncomfortably take a step back.

"It's a waste to release her without even playing with her." Ichthys chuckles.

"Perverts..." I grumble, crossing my arms as I glare at him.

"I've gotta say, though. You really were cute back there." Teorus smiles.

I turn to Huedhaut. "Hey, can you hit them with that wind again?"

"D-don't worry! I'm not going to do anything now!" Teorus backs away, shaking his head.

Ichthys nudges Teorus' arm. "At least not while Hue is watching."

"You're being awfully bold." Huedhaut narrows his eyes.

Ichthys shrugs. "You know me well enough to know I don't give up after one thwarted effort."

Huedhaut nods. "That's true..."

"You've got to be kidding me..." I roll my eyes.

Great, If Huedhaut isn't around, now I got to deal with perverted gods who may try to kidnap me again and do god knows what!

Looks like I'm sleeping with a baseball bat under my bed tonight it seems...

My thoughts only to make me more uneasy when I notice Huedhaut's curt tone and his indifferent attitude.
