Walk back together.

Hand-in-hand, the two of you traverse the woods, and then the dirt road leading back to the grand gates between tall, dark stone walls. The sun is already setting, and the stars in the sky are just as beautiful as the sun and clouds were prior. You can't help but wonder what sort of planets exist beyond the realm of Abso, and if it's something similar to what you had back on Earth. There's a sun and there's a moon, yet the ocean of stars and nebulae are clearly different, especially with the lack of any real light pollution in a world without electricity, and a home high in the mountains.

Peony wishes you a good night, and practically glows with happiness after today's date. She's like a beacon of light in the evening darkness, and you watch her beautiful form sashay between some nearby buildings to tend to the flowers and trees, some of which have greatly changed with the coming of autumn.

You hardly notice the other figure nearby at first. Catching her in your peripheral vision, you turn your head to see Linzeri leaning against the wall right beside the front gates. However, she's also dressed in something new. It's been a long time since you've seen her in anything besides her usual tall boots and corset, and to make an even greater contrast, she's now wearing something that reminds you of home, just like Eva, Amara, and Niki had done. Blue jean shorts are pulled high up to her stomach and of course are cut to be incredibly short--the insides of her pockets hanging out over her thighs. Tucked into that is a white, strapless shirt which wraps tightly around her bust, and is low enough in the back to allow her tiny wings to protrude freely. Her slender feet rest in a pair of dark flats. There she stares over with a crimson gaze, which is more easily seen with her short, white hair parted by a silver clip, but she looks away as your eyes meet, and she instead looks down at her painted nails.

"Wow. You look great. Did you get those clothes from Luna?" you ask.

"I know, and I did," she answers bluntly. Finally, she looks up again to face you properly. "I'm surprised by how much I like the style. I saw the others, and I couldn't help but be curious."

After a pause, you speak up again. "Hey... You don't find it odd to live in the same place as Dajy, do you? And her harem."

"While it's true we used to work together, and it's also true that I care not to be apart of her little group again, no. It's fine. You've amassed quite the collection of misfits. And by some miracle, Dajy has changed. She isn't as she used to be as I knew her. The old Dajy would certainly have **** me to leave, either by being hostile, or bugging me so much that I'd leave myself. Yet now she's the sort to even release that vampire queen from her possession." Standing up from the wall, she walks over towards you--hips subtly swinging left and right certainly on purpose--all while her piercing gaze never leaves you. After she bumps into your arm, she keeps walking, and says, "Come."

"Where to?" you ask.

"I said come," she repeats without turning around.

While she may not have the overwhelming royal presence of the powerful Mistress Dajy, there's a completely different aura around Linzeri. She isn't a follower like Dajy's harem of succubi. She's independent, and with that comes a presence of her own. She's fiendishly sexy and commanding, and while you might be the Demon King here, and she follows you, in moments like these, you know you have **** but to be the one who follows instead, and given the view from behind, perhaps that isn't so bad after all. The feisty, impatient demon continues onwards, not even waiting for you to catch up, forcing you to hustle over before you let her lead you back outside the castle walls yet again.
