Two Drops and a Prince

"I… No."

Few things had shocked Aldrich after coming out in the vast unexplored part of the Galaxy. So when the Shadow Homunculus refused to eat something, the shock on his face was truly a sight to behold.

"You are not hungry?!"

"I… save… him."

Aldrich narrowed his eyes at the sudden outlet of emotions by Sha and the usage of 'him'. Aldrich and she didn't need to speak to convey their feelings to each other. He could notice the instantaneous attachment Sha had felt towards the creature. But even though Aldrich didn't know the anatomy of this creature from in and out, he could still differentiate a hopeless case from the one that was not.

"Think about it, Sha. If you eat him, it's almost the same as being with him all the time."

Aldrich tried a different approach to tackle the situation, but he underestimated Sha's stubborn behavior. He could feel that his offer was enticing to the Shadow Homunculus, but it wasn't enough.

Sigh!
