AfterDuo

Chapter 10

"Muffet he is not feeling good and I do believe he needs rest." Ra said in his deep and rumbling voice as he made sure Spencer didn't fall over and really throw up. Tokali paused just a few inches away from Alaric and then smiled.
"I am no longer afraid."

Spencer limped inside, with Muffet helping him. Ra helped, but had to leave. But back to the more interesting stuff.

Alaric smiled, and bowed to Tokali, who was confused. Alaric looked up at her, and asked,

"Shall we start over?" He asked, he kneeled and kissed her hand, "Alaric of Lynia, at your service." He said, pulling out his knightly manors.

Tokali blinked and even blushed, turning her head slightly away. "Tokali, goddess of peace and magic. One of the original three that made everything, at your service." She said in a calm tone .

Alaric laughed, standing up. The fact that she had blushed was not lost on him, but he said nothing of it. Instead, he decided on banter.

"So you wish to play the title game? Very well, I am Alaric of Lynia, high councilman of the Order of the Scales, Lord of the Region of Tristain, etc." He laughed, "Although, you can call me just Alaric, oh Creator Goddess." he bowed low again, and Tokali laughed this time. It was a nice laugh, one that Alaric had not heard nearly often enough.

"I wasn't even using titles, Sir Alaric. I could if you really wish for this game to continue?" Tokali asked as she used her finger to lift Alaric's head.

"You need not bow to me, Oh great knight. I should be the one doing such." And the goddess of peace bowed to Alaric.

Alaric laughed, and knelt down to her level.

"Can't bow to me if I'm lower than ya!" He taunted like a child. He'd never felt such joy. It was exhilarating to act immature for once in centuries.

Tokali laughed herself and this was a pure and joyful sound, not like when Spencer first met this goddess.

"And I say I am lower than you. If we say we are lower than the other, then that must mean we are equal." The goddess said playfully.

Alaric nodded his agreement, "Equals." He decided, and stood up, offering his hand to Tokali.

Tokali took it and smiled in the sweetest of ways. "You know, I haven't felt like this in so long. Not since the original three were making the universe." The goddess admitted freely as unnoticed by the said goddess, Stella was getting all of it on tape.

Meanwhile, Spencer was throwing up. He had burnt up too much energy in his fight with Trump's mech, and his body couldn't handle it. His normally tan skin was yellow and he shook with a cold sweat. Muffet patted him on the back, and Spencer, though he couldn't say it right then, was extremely grateful.

Ra offered to watch Arachne so Muffet could watch after Spencer as with Tokali looked down and sighed as her smile dropped.

Alaric noticed this, and asked what the problem was.

"You should know I cannot be with you right now. This body is not my own." Tokali said, and Alaric recoiled, remembering that he was technically flirting with his Great times 103 grand niece. Or something like that.

Tokali laughed at his thoughts. "Only now you realize? That is cute." She said in between her laughs. Her wings fluffed up and she couldn't help herself.

Alaric laughed too, but it was hollow. He didn't know whether Tokali enjoyed this convenient excuse, or was annoyed.

"Sorry, I found it funny." Tokali said and sighed after calming down. She placed her hand on Alaric's face, having a look of love.
