‍ ‍‍ ‍ Alhaitham, you should take example from the doctor. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ So be it. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ This is one of my concerns. We should investigate. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ We were discussing the Church agenda. They demanded loyalty from the witches and Signora requested a hideout for the sisters along with the help in the opposition. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “I accept your sisters as refugees only if /you/ make sure their intentions stay with our interest. They'll have the rights of free women here, yet I want them to respect our traditions and rules. Order shall prevail first and foremost. As for landing a hand in the battle, I'll gather a + ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ Doctor, you're just in time. Take a seat. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

First, we need to take your induction photo... Did that scare you? Just a joke~

‍ ‍‍ ‍ [ Stares. ] ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ It is true, Alhaitham. The armies now are nothing like the armies back then. I've been absent for so much time and even I know it. Do not mislead me. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ @crimsonlady.bsky.social, is this true? ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ We'll need to send a spy. I'm afraid their God might have granted them something new. Otherwise they wouldn't dare to make a move. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ As strong as they are, they are greatly outnumbered. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ You see Alhaitham if they loose and make an alliance with the Church it is us who will face them in the battle eventually. Think of it. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ He narrows his gaze with a tone of a displeasure, falling silent. Seems like he was pondering if it was worth a deal with such conditions. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ I haven't seen Alhaitham to roll his eyes in decades. I'm wondering what's the occasion. ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “Loyalty. I shall not stand the silver stab in back in my own lands.” ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “Will they bow down to me in that case?” ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “You are right. How many refugees will be except for you?” ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “Although we will see what can be done with this situation beside taking the refugees.” ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “You shall find a hideout in the vampire lands at the very least. We are not going to give out these lands to the Church now that I am back.” ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “They wish to restore their dominance over the lands, yet they don't bring any solutions to the problems the humanity faces. What did he tell you? Did he demand anything beside it?” ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “Have they bothered you too much lately?” ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ What happened, my dear? ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ While of course I deeply missed you and your presence you shouldn't worry about it and do whatever is right for you. [ And so he kissed her fingers. ] ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ Signora. You finally made it. [ Offers his hand. ] ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍‍ ‍ “ It's necessary. I am well aware he'll try to escape. ” ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ Your care, obviously? ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ [ She raises an eyebrow, lingering her gaze on the young man before taking a new piece of paper and dipping the pen into the inkwell. ] Good. The enjoyers of bitter tea will surely need your assistance. [ She writes down the heading. ] ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍ ‍ What? ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ The rifle is pointed at the scientist without a doubt. The member of the Genius Society, isn't it? ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ [ Right. Despite everything. She leans back, brows furrowed. ] I'm temporarily suspended from my duties, so I'll be free tonight. Would you like to come for a cup of tea? Hmm.. though, I do think Jiaoqiu would need...... Nevermind. ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ I do imagine sweet teeth won't enjoy it, but luckily for you I prefer it this way. [ This time she finishes the paper and puts it in a pile of them, ending up raising her bright green eyes at the sitting man. ] ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ They do prefer to stay within shouting distance? How bold of scientists. ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ [ She eventually takes a sip with a straight face. Bitter and burning. Perfect. ] ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍

On the "incubator," a "life" nurtured by the "rice cooker" popped out in perfection. The method with which life is created is miraculous. How romantic.

‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ [ Even if /he/ and Feixiao trust her, she still has been locked during the incident. There are people above them who don't trust her. It irritated her greatly. Watari pulls Moze closer and lower, so that she can whisper into his ear. ] What a brave boy. ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍
