Bery opened her eyes to the smiling face of her dragoness. The kitten was held in Valerie's arms in a princess carry. Bery grinned back, wrapping her arms against the dragon's neck, and kissing her lips.
"Please don't do that in front of me," Emary's voice said. "I thought I said that already."
Bery jumped in surprise, turning to find a vampire and an elf standing in the doorway to their castle. "What are you doing here!?"
Valerie placed the kitten down on the ground. "She was here when we arrived."
Emary sighed. "I've been waiting for the two of you to come back this whole time."
Bery gave the elf a hug. "You have? Why did you wait for the two of us?"
The elf's face reddened. "The truth is...I want to move in here with you two."
"Huh?"
Elanore cut off their grand reunion. "Don't mind me, I was just kidnapped against my will and taken to this place without any warning."
Emary looked towards Valerie with narrowed eyes.
