161: Guidance for help - part 2

"Did you have fun when you went to look out for Aurora and the others? I saw what you did for them, Zoe. Why did you help them out?"

Zoe quickly turned toward Ava's voice so that she no longer had her back to the snake. She had expected the snake to make her entryway earlier but it seems like the snake had wanted to wait for her.

"I decided to throw you chosen a bone since she looked like she needed help. After all, it did not look like you were going to help her so I did it in your place."

Zoe wanted to drive the snake away but her words were all wrong.

Instead of going away, Ava seemed even more amused than before. The white-haired female made her way toward Zoe and draped her arm around the shorter.

"Awww. I knew you would like Aurora if you met her. She has that 'charm' about her, right?"

"Charm, huh? I did see what you meant by 'charm.'"

The charm would be the wrong thing to say. As soon as Zoe had seen Aurora, the need to help her out had made a home inside her mind.
