>>5914258Watching the new day dawn, you decide that, at least for today, you'll be taking the day off. Instead of going about your usual daily schedule, you'll take the day to introduce your family to everyone. After all, since they're going to be staying here with you now, best to have everyone know them too. You turn from the rising sun, heading back inside your home and walking to your room. However, as you do, suddenly you smell something fantastic. Seems that Silver's making something good this morning, a smell you remember but can't quite place. Putting that aside you head to your room, where you can already sense Towa up and moving. Opening the door, you see the demon princess looking for her suit in the pile of clothes by the bed, getting a good view before she turns, looking over her shoulder.
“WH-Oh, Karn.” she says, cheeks a bit red from embarrassment. “Good morning.”
“Mornin'.” you reply, walking over as she stands up and turns, hugging you. You hold her back, Towa going in for a kiss which you accept
“Sea salt? What were you doing in the ocean?” she asks, a hint of confusion in her question as she pulls away. You explain what happened as she turns back to get dressed, your wife grumbling and rolling over towards you both, sitting up with her eyes still
“Was out playing with Okira, she was up early. Hey, mornin' hun.” you say, turning from Towa to your wife, who sits up slowly, stretching both arms overhead. Her eyes then open, seeing you standing in full armor and Towa looking for her clothes, looking back and forth confused.
“Whass goin...?” she murmurs, yawning and floating up out of bed to you, your wife wrapping her arms around your neck and kissing you sleepily. Which you return, enjoy. As you do, Towa rises, suit in hand but walks around behind you. Where you feel her hand on your left shoulder, fingertips running over where you'd felt the Dark pouring from you when you'd taken on the Soul of Manus' power.
“Good, you've healed up nicely.” Towa comments, Meloka pulling away and looking over your shoulder at her, sleepy confusion on her face. “It barely left a mark.”
“So, the Dark was pouring out of my real body too?” you ask, looking over your shoulder as well to her, seeing the demon woman nod. “No one got hit with it, did they?”
“No. Caulifla got some on her hand, but Chilli saved her from it.” Towa replies, making some sort of magical lens and looking through it at your back as you make a mental note to thank him as well. “He is very capable, him and Caulifla both. Neither hesitated to jump in to save you.”
