Things Got Serious

"Welcome back." Aquamarine greeted Ruby, the Viscountess. Her eyes shone brightly the moment she saw us. Ruby ran towards me and hugged me out of the blue.

"Maria! You're back! It has been a hellish week! Ah! Hello everyone..." She quickly greeted me and then everybody else. She was acting more less formal now that she knew us better.

"Ah, hello." I said. "Don't get too closer or Nyx is going to bite you."

"Bite? Oh, that little baby?!" Ruby quickly noticed the baby.

"This is our child, her name's Nyx." Said Lucifer.

"By the gods… Maria you've got a kid?!" Asked Ruby.

She quickly tried to look at Nyx more closely, but the little dragon girl opened her tiny jaws and attempted to give her a little nibble more than once, so the viscountess quickly walked back.

"We are also mama's children…" Takeshi sighed.

"We are adopted though, maybe it is not the same, Takeshi." Said Laura.
