No pain, no change

"Was... was the seed your core? Did I... get a second familiar?" Vincent tried to make sense of what was happening. 

Vincent scratched his head and looked at the two familiars. Suddenly he recalled a small detail he almost missed. Zero said the letter H before telepathically telling him it was hungry. 

"Zero. Talk to me. Say anything you want." Vincent requested.

[Master. Zero. Not. Thirsty.]

*Sigh* "I misheard from the excitement, it seems..." 

Plow noticed Vincent was unhappy. She snuggled with Vincent and said, "Zero, no need to speak. Plow can speak because Plow is familiar number one." *Pho*

"Being number one means you are the big sister. So take care of Zero." Vincent petted Plow acting envious and cute.

"Yes!" *Pho!* Plow exclaimed while wagging her tails.
