"I—Thanks, I'm fine." I hesitantly returned her hug. "Were you really…fighting your sisters for me?"
"Of course! Not that it did any good." She sighed. "Come, I don't want to talk in front of them." She held my arm and the world darkened around us, morphing as if we were travelling through a tunnel of shadows before rematerializing back into the familiar setting of my room in the Silver Moon Tea House.
She waved her arms and shadows devoured the walls of the room, engulfing the edges of the room like smoke, until it seemed like we stood in a black amorphous box. "There, that should keep everyone but Noe from peeking. God." She sat down heavily on the floor. "What did she do to you? You didn't say yes did you?"
"Say…No, No, I—Wait, how did you know she asked something of me?"
