"Someone has to be here with you." Victoria would say with her usual deadpan voice and expression. Adeline felt warm but also worried for her.
Victoria got many things wrong in social situations but when it matters the most she would get it right. After being ambushed, and almost dying, Adeline was a little afraid. And being left alone at night would worsen her mental condition.
No matter what she would say, Victoria decided to stay with her.
Adeline closed her eyes, feigning sleep. The soft sound of Victoria's steady breathing filled the quiet room.
Adeline was trying to gather her thoughts, but her emotions were a turbulent storm. There were too many unanswered questions and implications from the last moments before she fell into the pond. Most troubling of all was what the Goddess had revealed to her.
