The Little Lord who only wanted love

5 hours after the whole incident, Panila herself had to come and visit Diminutive and upon seeing Ven, nearly suffered a migraine. The rest of the group, except Rat, had already escaped back to Avis's apartment. 

Rat and Ven were standing next to the Decaynine recovery squad as Panila walked over to them. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the rabbit who escaped me and the little Rat who decided to leave my humble company."

Rat snickered, clutching her snow globe with a a grin. "Eh, you're just jelly one of your little pets decided to go mad." 

This seemed to cause Panila to grow more frustrated, the sound of chains beginning to clank and shake around her like an aura.

Ven sighed, flicking Rat's tail and standing in front of the two. "Look. I think we all need to calm down. Panila, I'm sorry that Eido had to go mad, but hey, at least she ain't dead."

Panila sighed, seeming to have rolled her eyes though not being seen due to her bangs. "Look. You may have saved her, but many of MY people died from her little rampage. And, I have a feeling that a rat may have been the root cause of it." Rat rolled her eyes, walking off. "You're just jealous I'm better." She yelled back as she went off and began chatting with some Decaynines.

Panila let out a low growl, muttering: "In Mollia's name, I wished I could have gotten anyone else."

She turned back to Ven and sighed. "Look, Rabbit. I'll let you take Eido's heart. Since I see it only fair for you sorting this issue out... But if you dare try and challenge another one of my leaders. I will tear your flesh from your bone, take your heart and make your friends watch as I feed you to the hounds."

Ven stared back with a cocky smile as Tid-bit was scanning Panila, before letting out a yelp: "Oh Eden, Ven. You're never gonna guess what? Panila ha-" Before She could finish her sentence, Panila grabbed Tid-bit by the throat, causing Ven to freeze in place and aiming Heartbreaker at her.

"Drop her, Warden." He said threateningly, as every Decaynine aimed their weapons at him, though a bit confused as to what Panila was doing, as they couldn't see nor here Tid-bit.

Tid-bit tried her best to get out of Panila grasp, but not having any mass to do so. Panila let out a small laugh, dropping Bit and whispering to her: "Don't you even think about saying that out loud to him."

Ven glared at her before storing Heartbreaker, causing the Decaynines to move away. She looked at him with a bored look and saying flatly: "So, I think we've come to an understanding. Don't screw with me again, Rabbit." She snapped her fingers, causing the Decaynines to Take Arachne away.

Rat laughed as she watched them leave, standing next to Ven with a smile. "Who woulda thought that she could actually touch Bit? Even I can't do that, and I'm awesome." 

Tid-bit looked a bit shaken up as she stood next to them, resting her head on Ven's shoulder. "What did you find out from her?" Ven asked. Tid-bit seemed like she was about to answer, but before she could, chains wrapped around her mouth, preventing the words coming out. Rat looked more amused compared to Ven and Bit's shock. 

"Looks like she's locked up the words." She laughed as the chains left Tid-bit's mouth, letting her speak. "I guess I can't say what I know..."

"Come on, Bit. That'd ruin the big twist in our little play." Rat remarked, causing Ven to shoot her in the foot, though she didn't even flinch. "Well, I'm not gonna stop getting the hearts, considering it's the only way I can rest... So, I'm gonna head back to Avis's place." He sighed, opening up a portal and grabbing the Heart that Panila had ever so nicely left for them. 

"I'll be in contact when you need me." Rat sighed, walking away and waving Ven off as she did. He rolled his eyes with Tid-bit, walking through and Stepping into Avis's apartment, seeing Senshi and Vinea arguing over who was more helpful as Avis was watching TV.

"Gods... This is going to be loooooooong." Ven groaned as he planted on the couch, Tid-bit sitting next to him as Avis was browsing her phone. Vinea jumped on, planting himself on the edge. Senshi, who chose to remain her bug size, cuddled around Avis neck. They all began to stare at the TV as an old music Video of Eido began to play, with them all nodding along to the beat, except Senshi, who was silently crying with a smile at the video. 

"Every thread has to break, I suppose."
