"Well, not exactly." Akzariel tried, and failed, to look innocent as he was talking.<br/>"You see, on our way here, my sister and I came across this demon person in when we decided to sleep in some cave on the side of the mountain. She seemed nice at first, I didn't like it but Niariel, she went absolutely nuts, not nuts in the conventional sense but she just became....I don't know, fun? Maybe? Like she didn't have a care in the world and wasn't getting upset and she just seemed happy whenever she was around the demon lady even though she barely knew her. Of course, then she nearly had her soul eaten and I had to fry that fork-tailed bitch. What's got me puzzled is that magic like that should work on males, not my sister."<br/>He paused and took a breath.<br/>"Any ideas? Or am I going to have to summon that demon and ask how she did it? What I really want to know is how to convice Niariel that she needs to be more carefree and have a bit of fun. She's just so boring and always afraid to try new things. I figure that if I can find a way to replicate the conditions like those in that cave..."<br/><br/>Akzariel looked up at Moonshadow. The recent events had let him physically and emotionally drain and he was having trouble thinking clearly.<br/>"Did that make any sense to you? Because I really have no idea what I'm trying to say. I think I need some coffee. Or a battery. I like mine black with nine sugars, around twelve volts should do. Do you have any?"<br/><br/><br/><br/>Niariel was confused. She enjoyed being with Katsumi, there was somthing about the girl. She really enjoyed being with Katsumi. She felt a subconcious desire and she knew that it was this desire she wanted to fulfil but her concious mind kept supressing it, telling her that she shouldn't and that so many things could go wrong and it left her far too worried to act on this desire.<br/>"I think...I think we should just get some rest. I've had a tiring day and it looks like you have too."<br/>The fairy opened her legs and picked her tiny companion up, raising her to eye level.<br/>"Do you want me to take you to your own bed or you could....share mine...if you...if you really wanted to."<br/>It was hard enough for her to say even this, she was worrying so much.
