Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail

The Plan was perfect. (for her). Surely nothing could go wrong.

3:15 AM

@Fl, Wi, Ab, Yu @MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal Fleur and Asteria both recieved Invitations to come meet her at the lake.

Fleur seemed to be quite slow to arrive, frozen tears laid on her face as she was enjoying the festivities...Her first proper christmas, with people she loved. The more she walked aroundthis christmas place, the more she cried. She remembered always walking around homes on christmas day, seeing people enjoying time with their family and tearing through presents and being nice and warm with each other...It made her cry, she wasn't sure if it was happiness or sadness... "Auntie..." She spoke with an intense endearment, notable far stronger than usual. Not to say she doesn't absolutely adore Vee usually, just that she sounds like she's putting alot more consideration into her words at such a family-oriented time of year.

"Hey." The Girl is immediately picked up and hoisted onto the Amazons back. "You're early, but that's okay." "I'm glad you're here."

"...." She had an incredibly tight grip on Vee, placing the front of her head against the back of Vee's. Sniffling as she didn't seem to be wearing her winter clothes, she kept her eyes closed. Simply enjoying the warmth that Veronique provided.. "Mmm..mm..." She groaned, her breath shaking from the cold. She was thinking about things...Things that were clearly distressing her as she shifted and groaned in displeasure...Her grip tightened even more.

"..." "She should be here soon." "There's someone I've wanted to introduce you to for a while."

Not long after that a soft hum of music rang out from beyond the treeline as someone approached. They skated on the ice quite skillfully before pulling up to the pair with a smile and a small twirl. "Hi hi you two how are you doing?"

"There she is..!" "Asteria, Hey." "I-I'm okay. But Fleur is a bit cold." "Uh.. you don't happen to have something to help her at the momen-" Wait. Veronica takes off her Ring and offers it to Fleur.

"There she is..!" "Asteria, Hey." "I-I'm okay. But Fleur is a bit cold." "Uh.. you don't happen to have something to help her...

@Veronique Otrerum Nicolo (@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat) - jump Fleur’s eyes widened in horror at the sight of another fae, a sense of shyness overtook her as she hid behind Veronica. She clutched onto her clothes as she let out some shy grunts, her face red with embarrassment as she looked away. Putting the ring on. She nodded in appreciation.. “Mmm…Thanks….”

3:44 AM

3:50 AM

(“who is she?! Is she going to hurt me because i’m not a proper fae, how does auntie know her? She look so sweet but its making me panic, literally nobody else makes me do this, am I bothering them like always?”) Vee heard the shy master’s thoughts.

"..Ah. I figured you guys had met before but.." "Fleur!" "This is.. M-my.. er." "my girlfriend." "Asteria, this is Fleur, my Master. I'm watching over her in Teachers place."

"We're a Family."

"Awww they're adorable!" The cheerful idol gave Veronique a hug and reached around to headpat Fleur. A gentle and caring expression on her face as she made sure Fleur knew she was safe and sound with the two of them. "How are you doing Fleur?"

She visibly flinched as Asteria reached out for her, whimpering softly as the hand approached…Her entire body tensed up as she was pat, only untensing slightly…Afterwards. “I-I….I’m okay….Good.” She tried to smile, very small smile greeting Asteria as she hid most of herself behind Vee. She did feel safe, but she still felt strangely shy around Asteria… “Kinda tired cus I forgot to asleep, but good…What about you, Miss Asteria? Do you love m- Vee as much as I do?” *It was almost comical, what she keeps almost saying is clear as day but she still doesn’t want to say it for some reason-“

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat @MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

Sorry Fleur, I'm too gay to respond coherently.

Its ok I understand completely.

"Aw, you got to make sure you get enough sleep mkay?" The idol rested her chin on Vee's shoulder, then gave Fleur a boop on the nose. "And I do love her lots and lots! Look how cute Vee is being right now." Her elven ears gave a happy little wiggle as they normally did. Speaking everything in a bit of a gentle melody.

“Its really, really hard…But I’ll try my best-“ Her elven ears gave their own happy wiggle, Fleur’s smile growing slightly as she kissed Vee on the cheek. Giggling softly as she was booped on the nose. She wasn’t wrong with her statement, she hadn’t gotten a proper night sleep in weeks, at most four hours a night. Her eyes had a horrific darkness beneath them. “She is amazing isn’t she?! I love her with every ounce of my soul, i’m so happy i’m a part of her family~” She exclaimed, placing her own head on top of Vee’s as she remained on her back, still looking at Asteria with slight unease. Mainly just due to negative association with fae now…

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

How unfair. I'm getting attacked from two sides, how am I even meant to defend myself against this relentless, unstoppable barrage of niceties!? "I-Im.. really n-not that gr...ea.t..." Damn you...!

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal (lets fluster her moar

"Aww you don't even understand how adorable you are Vee!" The idol gives a playful peck on the Amazon's cheek, letting out a really soothing chuckle. She'd then give Fleur a gentle pat on the head to try to get her to ease up juuuuust a little more. "What have you both been up to recently?"

“U-uhm…Dunnooooo…” She quietly admitted, of course there’d been plenty of things but they all ceased to exist under her panic. She quickly scrambled for something she did recently… “I made food for the first time- I made eggs and toast…Vee was there-“ She mumbled quietly, embarrassed at the patting as she stuck out her tongue playfully. Vee would remember the utter disaster that was Fleur trying to cook as she almost set the kitchen alight because she got distracted from her eggs. Vee thankfully coming in to save the day-

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

"Gh..." Stay alive, Veronica. You don't have [Battle Continuiation] for nothing. You can do this. Stay Alive-- Keep Fighting...! "I uh." "W-went hunting.. with.. my Sister and... friends.."

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

"Awww that's so cute of you two! Maybe we could all do those things together sometime! It'd make for a great bonding moment." The idol chirps happily and hopefully, visibly loving the idea of doing various activities with the other two for a few happy moments.

"that.. reminds me.."

4:15 AM

"Asteria, Theano gave us a Gift..!"

Hearing her name made Fleur visibly flinch in distress, looking around with paranoia... "WHERE!?" She exclaimed, her breathing growing uneven and scared. It was no secret that Theano hated Fleur, though Fleur didn't feel the same way back-

"N-not here..!"

"Oh? I'm super curious now!! Could I get some spoilers on what it is Vee?" Asteria looked Vee in the eyes with a puppy look and honestly wanting to talk to Vee's sisters more. Can't neglect her gf's family after all.

"Ah er.." ..She's going to try and whisper to Asteria. ... SHE'S SO CLOSE HOW IS SHE MEANT TO DO THIS!? "Um. Uh." "..Oh you smell nic- I-I Mean Uh-" "Theano made a reservation at a restaurant in Greece for us-"

Fleur wasn’t able to hear, humming playfully as she looked around!

"Awww how cute you're being, and that sounds like a blast!! Maybe we could meet each others families while we're at it?" The idol whispers back, then snuggles up to Veronique, continuing with some more head pats to Fleur.

"M-meet our families..!?'

Fleur being distracted as ever, got off Vee’s back and…Ran off-….Running into the dead trees and out of sight as she seemed to spot something…She saw a snowman! She began to construct her own snowman but it was rather crumbly… “Frostyyyy the snowman!”

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

”Hehe, did I never tell you? My family is based in Greece, we live not that far off from Delphi. It’d be a great chance to say hi you know?” Asteria pecks Vee on the cheek playfully, giving her a wink and booping her on the nose before making her way over to where Fleur was. There she’d join in on the singing, being quite cheerful about the whole thing.
