Laharl breaks down

Laharls scarf snakes out and wraps around my neck. Tight but not chokeing, she spun me around and with tears in her eyes mumbled out to me. "Why are you doing this to me?! What did I ever do to you!?!" She collapses on to her knees trying to hold back her tears.

"First off, let me go." Her scarf slids off me. "Secondly its not that bad, you arent a **** or anything. Think of this as a long term lesson, a bit of payback for what you did to Etna." I turn to Etna. "Hey babe, just what DID she do to you anyway?"

A dark cloud seemed to form over Etna and her hands close into fists. "That rotten little BRAT ate my special pudding from the sea of gehenna!!" You could hear my jaw hit the ground. "Pudding?!" Etna looks up at me her eyes aflame. "THEY ONLY MAKE A HANDFULL OF THOSE EVERY FOUR YEARS!!!!" She starts ranting and raveing about her snacks and the times Laharl ate them.

I look down at Laharl who is being consoled by Flonne. Or atleast Flonne is TRYING to console her. "There there Laharl, please dont cry. John seems like a nice man, anyone who understands love cant be all bad." She looks up to me. "Right?"

I crouch down and smile to Flonne. "Yeah, Look Laharl I didnt mean to make you cry. You should have just treated Etna better." Etna scoffed at my remark. Laharl looked up at me with red and puffy eyes. "But she was MY vassel..so-so the pudding was mine....right?"

She sounds unshure of herself. Etna walks over and leans over me. "Hmm...are you looking for guidence 'princess'? Looking for you 'masters' approval?" Etna snears at Laharl. "It's time you learned a little humility." She rubs herslef into my back. "So johnny, what SHALL we do with her? HMM?"

I rub my temples and sigh. "Etna, lets put this of until we get home alright?" I stand up with Etna still hanging off me. "pudding...this was all about pudding..."
