>>16812077Before she can answer that question, she notices a small, stuffed Teddiursa, right in front of Alice.
"Hm? I don't recall her having that..."
Her curiosity prods her, she gets down on her knees to investigate. Indeed, it is a stuffed Teddiursa, one dressed up like a firefighter, but that isn't all. Around the plushie's neck is a locket.
Intrigued, she opens it, and finds a small photograph inside. The back of which has been written on.
>I really hope she likes it!>Hello!~"Did...Did they take this picture while I was away?"
Serena looks at the photo, studying, noting how happy you and your loli seem together. She then looks at the bear, and finally, at your sleeping figure.
"I see. . ."
She smiles.
Making her way to the bed, Serena removes the covers and places it over you and Alice, then finally, she manages to squeeze in to complete the snuggly triangle. She feels content. It's a nice bit of relaxation after all the battling that went on earlier today.
"I'll make it up to you two. Someday. I promise."Snow continues to fall outside.
