An innocent life's value

Lauren felt her mood slowly turn for the better as soon as she thought of the rewards she would be earning this time.

With a teasing smile on her freckled face, she nudged at her chubby neighbour on the side, "You should in fact rather thank me for doing you a favour, sweetheart. With one of that idiot's arms gone, your guy has a better chance at getting in now along with that sneaky looking sister of his."

"Seriously Fitzbrough, you sure have weird taste in men. I really worry for your future, girl. And seriously what was with that odd-looking moustache on his face?"

Gabby let out a giggle as she recalled Stephen's face. Then upon seeing Lauren's eyebrows raised at her suggestively, she coughed out and raised her voice as she croaked defensively," H-how would I know? A-as if I even care! I am done talking to you about this nonsense!" 

"Kekeke~" Lauen just chuckled, shaking her head at this simple, honest witch who seemed to be clearly smitten.
