"Look at it this way, I do this because I want to. You do not need to return any favours, just think of it as a gift." He spoke, as he led his horse away from the pet store. "Calling me weird now?' He questioned, as he glanced over his shoulder to her. "i'll get mine another time.." He stated a slight smirk at his lips. As they rode down the street back to the castle, people went back to whispering about them. "It seems like they will never get a fill of their rumours." He grumbled as he focused before him. His gaze flicked from one side of the street to the next one.

It wasn't long until they made it back to the castle. He took his horse to the stables, before getting out, and helping Alicia down herself. One of the ranch hands came over, the same one they spoke of earlier. "Thank you, Hecate." He stated, which he bowed his head in reply. Aero grabbed the bags and watched the ranch hand take his horse away to get the saddle off and let him run in the pasture. "C'mon." He murmured, grasping her hand once more and leading her inside.

[Trots]

“Ahhhhh Fine. I’ll just give you gifts back worth just as much or more than what you gave me.” Alicia narrowed her eyes playfully and kept close, resting her chin on his shoulder. “Maybe.” Alicia smiled to him and watched as he glanced back with a smirk. She took the chance and pecked his lips with hers. She then pulled away and looked down to the pup, grinning. “Guess not. Though~if it’s because of how handsome you are~I can understand why. Luckily I got you somewhat.” Alicia smirked and cuddled the pup and Aero.

“Hecate...” Alicia repeated this as she looked to the man, tilting her head. She was going to say something but then she felt Aero’s hand on hers. Before she knew it, he was pulling her to the castle, so she simply followed and nodded. “In a rush, huh?”

[nocтιѕ;]

"If you truly wish to... pay me back, then just accept them with a smile." Aero replied as heled through the yard to the castle. He remembered the slight peck he gave her and chuckled. "I'm not handsome, just a regular looking demon." He insisted as he led her inside. He glanced back at her and nodded. "A little. curious on what Alice would say, she always pestered me about getting a pet." Aero replied. As he led her through the castle, tiny thumps came the opposite direction and there came Alice all dressed up, with Jasmine following after her. "Alicia!" She called. Alice ran up to Alicia and hugged her legs, looking up at her. "Whatcha got there?"

[Trots]

“Alright then. I will do just that.” Alicia shrugged the thought off and focused on the way he walked. “For you not to be handsome is saying that I cannot talk, and that is definitely not true. For I talk too much, so that means you are rather handsome. I’d be surprised if others told you differently.” Alicia walked with a small bounce in her step, her eyes looking down to the small puppy in her arms. “Ah. Was there a true reason as to why you never had gotten her one?” Alicia questioned quietly. She had heard from what Alice said but she wanted his opinion as well. Once they entered, Alicia looked over to Alice, a bright smile emerging. “Alice!” Alicia hummed and looked down to her legs where Alice Now was. “Well, me and your Brother got you a new little friend.” Alicia lowered the small creature down to Alice’s height. Alicia never felt more happy to give a gift before. She’d still maintain the name of the dog as her own so Aero wouldn’t complain, but still, she’d share the puppy with the entire Kingdom without complaint. “We decided that you should name the little guy.”

[nocтιѕ;]

Aero chuckled at her way of expressing that he was handsome. He looked over at her, about to reply when Alice came in and started talking to Alicia. He stood there, quietly, watching the two speak. He supposes he could tell her later. Jasmine came up and stood next to him, glancing at her king. She turned her gaze on Alicia, and anger bubbled in her body, but she swallowed it.

Alice looked up at the puppy and squealed. "Really?" She stated, jumping around all excited. Alice stopped and looked at the ground, thinking. "How about... Gunnie?" She questioned, looking up at Alicia's approval.

[Trots]

Alicia had given a smile to Jasmine and soon knelt down in front of Alice, holding the pup out for her carefully. “Gunnie? I must say it’s quite adorable. I think it’s perfect for this little fluff ball.” Alicia agreed happily, watching as the small creature attempted to reach Alice with its nose. It was tempted to give kisses and run around to sniff the new smells around the palace. Though, Alicia decided that Alice could decide what she’d want to do with the puppy first. It’s little tail wagging melted Alicia’s heart and she couldn’t believe how cute they could be.

[nocтιѕ;]

Alice looked down at the pup and wanted to cuddle with it for ends of time. The young demon princess took the pup from her hands and hugged it, not too tightly though. "You think so?" She questioned a small smile on her face before twirling in joy. Aero watched the two and huffed. He wanted to tell Alice to be careful, yet he felt that Alicia may say something in return to him about it. Jasmine, on the other hand, was watching a little sad. She told Aero that she will be heading into town alone, which he allowed her. Jasmine bowed her head a little and left. Aero watched her go before focusing on Alicia and Alice. "Come on, we should take Gunnie to the gardens and let him play." He spoke.

[Trots]

“Yes.” Alicia smiled and glanced up to Aero when he scoffed. She narrowed her eyes somewhat at him before looking to Alice. “We don’t want to hurt him, no? Hold him like this.” Alicia moved one of Alice’s hand down on the pups bum and another wrapped around his front area. “It would be great if he fell, so, we must keep the little guy safe... just like we’d keep you safe.” Alicia stood back up and watched as Jasmine began to leave. She gave a small wave goodbye with a smile before looking to Aero. “That’s a good idea. Great actually.” Alicia looked over and down to Alice, giving a goofy grin. “Cmon. Then we can get some fresh air.”

[nocтιѕ;]

Aero led the two out of the castle to the nearby gardens. In the distance was the horse's pen, where they roam free. Aero glanced out that way, noting a figure. He suspects it was Hecate. Aero glanced around, before nodding to the seats where they could sit, while Alice went out and dirtied her dress. He sighed, though he supposes it couldn't be helped. As Alice ran around and play, the pup following after her, barking. He glanced over at Alicia before his gaze flicked over to where he though Hecate was, only to see he was gone. The king glanced around that area, only to get startled by one of the servants. "Your Majesties," they spoke, greeting both Alicia and Aero, before turning their gaze to Aero. "We've received word from the other side. About an angel having a bit of an issue." He spoke as he handed the letter to Aero. Aero frowned a bit and opened it. It was stating how an angel has been committing sins, thus they are starting to transform into a demon. "Well, that is.." He started, as his glazed flicked to Alicia.

When angels commit sin, they often times turn into demons, that or they are executed by the angel's guards. Thus, Aero has a small time frame before the angel is killed. "Mind getting Hecate then?" He questioned, which the servant nodded and quickly left.

(occ; hecate's forum is completed yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ima go and sleep now )

[Trots]

Alicia looked at the gardens with awe. She was shocked from how beautiful it truly was. She looked to see some horses in the paddock but she didn’t notice a figure. Her vision wasn’t the best so she never worried too much about it. Probably wasn’t anything too important anyways. Alicia watched as Alice played in the grass and mud which caused her to gain a feeling of eagerness. She never got to play like that or get messy so she truly wanted to. Though, she knew Aero probably wouldn’t agree to it much. Maybe he needed to loosen up and play sometimes. She caught his eyes and she smiled a little before looking to one of the servants. Alicia nodded in response to the greeting and looked away when they spoke. She listened in and looked to Aero when he seemed to look at her. An angel? Sins? Who could it be? There weren’t many Angel’s doing such actions in a while. Perhaps something changed while she was gone? Alicia took the chance and asked a simple question. “Do you know what gender the Angel is?” Alicia was quite curious as she bobbed her head slightly.

Alicia listened to the rest of the conversation before standing up straight and watching the servant leave. Something in her began to worry. What if being there, around so many demons, caused her to become one? She shook off the thought and sighed lightly. She couldn’t. This is unless something terrible were to happen, but she knew that would be hard now. She was happy and simply couldn’t resist the joy she gave to Aero and Alice. She loved them both, and in ways, she hoped she could get Zagan to warm up to her. She wanted to get to know him if she were to live with him the rest of her life.
