<b>Re: Tears of Scarlet, Chapter 1: The End</b><br/><br/>Sephra looked at Atroku, and then at TÃ©sÃ­x. How was she going to get around telling her friends about her hefty secret? She wanted them to know but, she didn't want them to reject her. She didn't want to be suspicious. Maybe they wouldn't mind knowing. She smiled and nodded slightly. "You two are welcome to join me, if you'd like."<br/><br/>Sephra fixed her uniform as she stood, inconspicuously of course. She was very irritated with the way her body cramped from hiding under her clothing. She would like so much to run around with her tail and ears exposed. Sephra continued to hold a smile while she faced the boys. After all, she did enjoy their company very much.<br/><br/>She also questioned Atroku's obedience and almost dependence toward TÃ©sÃ­x. Although, she kind of depended on him herself. She thought for a moment<i>"I wonder if he likes being depended on.."</i>The thought only lasted a second before her mind returned to concealing her wonders. "I'm sure they wouldn't tell anyone.." She said aloud before she realized words were actually coming out of her mouth. Thankfully, she had said it quietly.<br/><br/>Reassurance would have been nice. She wanted to lighten the burden of no one knowing about her, but she needed to know there wouldn't be an issue. As they began on their way to her quarters, without looking either of them in the eye, she asked playfully "Hey Atroku, TÃ©sÃ­x? Can you guys keep a secret?" she smiled as she turned around and walked backwards, her head cocked to the side slightly awaiting a serious response.
