" you have a kid ? laying an egg? " she was confused , even more confused as she would look down at her wife . she felt those arms wrapping around her . she began to do the same , rubbing her back and up down .

she noticed the tears almost immediately , leaning in close as she would then grab each side of her face . thumbs stroking her cheeks . " what’s the matter ? "

the gem would step a bit closer to the one she called her wife . taking one of her hands and holding it . " I apologize for leaving without saying a word . "

" a child? "

" you’ll fall from my grasp if you keep squirming like that , my dear . " a teasing tone coming from the murderous gem , hands continue to squeeze down there .

arms around her lower half , smiling as she would rub near her butt as she would hear all the voices , they definitely sounded familiar . she was happy to hear them . " i missed you all too , every single of you . "

" oops . " both of her claws would immediately scoop the human up , holding her close as she would grin a little .

" . . " suddenly appearing in front of her , scaring her again . " boo! "

poke poke .

a small chuckle , squeezing her hand with her dangerous claws , dagger like tip gently rubbing against her hand , it could easily tear her flesh . just to tease her of course . " my name is black pearl , i’m a gem . "

fine , i will try it . once .

her hand was a bit larger than the girl’s , her claws turning into normal sized and shaped fingers , now tilting her head . " oh ? isn’t that what humans do when they are alone ? would you like me to do that to you ? "

how many times have you eaten it ?

she took a small step back as she would continue to stare down at her , giving her a sharp toothed , semi friendly smile . nodding her head to her questions . " yes , you’re also my wife . . " slowly she held her hand out for her to take . " we can get know another better , sure . "

happily accepting the kiss to her forehead , sighing as she would hear her final words for now " i’ll see you soon , hopefully . " she noticed that asa was back , and she was holding both of her hands and keeping her close , looking down at the girl . " we meet again , hello there . "

unfortunately pearl wouldn’t here asa’s response due to her wife taking over her body for the moment . she didn’t let go of those hands either , she wouldn’t . " of course , this place seems interesting , and now that you’re here i won’t be leaving. i can protect you all . " unsettling for some -

her gem would glow a bit more suddenly , her cheeks staining with dark in the middle due to being flustered again . " she is also . . very cute . " both of her hands were now taken , holding them a little bit more as she sighed happily . she couldn’t help but hold the body close and squeeze .

try it ? you mean eat ? umm , no ?

" how did this happen ? you weren’t like this the last time i saw you . " she would frown a tiny bit as she would listen , hearing that she had to love and protect this girl . looking off to the side now . " what if she doesn’t love me like you and the others do ? " squeezing her hands -

both of her arms now wrapping around the other’s waist , her gem pressed against her stomach as she would let out a sigh . " is everyone else in there too ? you disappeared for a long time . . i didn’t know if I would ever see you four again , ever . "

her eye went wide , and get began to glow a tiny bit before she would cover it up with her hands . she was even more confused , but knew who was speaking to her immediately , her cheeks blushed as she stepped closer . " y-yoru ? " she was disbelief . . sadness in her voice .

it’s . . wood ?

head would tilt in confusion as she stood there , arms crossing her chest as she would listen to the girl’s words . she seemed to be arguing with someone . it wasn’t the gem , that’s for sure . " excuse me ? " a finger would reach out now , poking against the girl . still curious .

" cold doesn’t effect me the same way it does to the weak body of humans , same with heat and everything else . " stepping closer and closer until she would hear her whisper something , having no idea that it was one of her mates . " did you say something , girl ? " she’s right in front of her.

" i have no ideas what any of those things are , my dear . i’m just a little lost , that’s all . " she would make her way closer towards the girl , she definitely had something off about her , and it wasn’t just the huge gemstone in her stomach . " what’s the name of this place ? "

" curious . . " the woman in all black would stare at the other , smiling a tiny bit as she would give her a small wave with sharp claws . " hello . " she had half of her face covered in black hair . " could you tell me where this place is ? "

" vs repair ? weapons ? " she stood there for a moment as she had more questions really , continuing to look around touch everything , well a light touch . it seems like she is new to this place .

" hmm? " the gem would look around for a moment , she seemed a bit lost , curious almost as she would take in the scenery around her .

" you must be mistaken , last i checked i do not have a heart . besides , they are gross . "

" wife . . ? " frowning a little , arms crossing over her chest for a moment . " whatever that means , it doesn’t like something that one would enjoy . why do you want me to be this wife thing of yours ? "

" mate ? what do you mean ? " confused staring from the gem , head tilting to the side as she would listen . since gems aren’t born on her planet , or anything really . unfortunately she has never experienced such a thing .

her uncovered eye went wide as a sudden noise left her mouth , taking a step back as she would feel that tongue against her gem , it definitely was sensitive , dangerous for one to have it out like that with no protection . " w-what do you mean ? "

a groan suddenly left her mouth as she felt that hand grabbing onto her gem , trying her best to pry her wrist . squirming , failing to get herself free . " l-let go of that ! "

her face was still flustered , her gem only glowing a bit more before one of her hands would cover it up . " nothing important . . " which means it was very important to the pearl .

the assassin would gasp as she suddenly felt the other’s tongue across her face , it definitely got her flustered , but she tried to pull away . and she failed at hiding it . " d-don’t do that again . " her gem on her stomach glowed a small purple hue .

" it is nice to meet you all . " holding her hand out again .

" this creature has a name . . " the hand would soon lower back down to her side , her pale cheeks seemed to be flustered a little. a rare sight among some . how lucky . " what are yours . .? "

" oh my . . " the pearl is a bit speechless , slowly making her way closer and closer now . a hand reaching out .

" and what . . are you ? you clearly aren’t human yourself . "

" and what makes you say that ? hmm ? "

the gem assassin would stare at the other in confusion , arms crossing over her chest as she stood there . there was something sinister about her , she was surprised that someone was confronting her . " may i help you ? "

" hmm ? " seems like someone overheard her, and that being is very curious . " in space ? "

" some did , then they ended up dead . " her eye went a little wide as she would notice the witch suddenly standing next to her . turning to face her , arms crossing over her chest . " impressive .. "

" such a strange one that is , and tall too . the placements of her weapons are . . very interesting . . she has my attention. " she’s speaking to herself , quietly staring at @lefteyedwitch.bsky.social .
