“*sigh* No, no, its fine Padraig..just..give me some space. Its not like it was your fault entirely, no need to act like you did all the wrong. Besides, its over..just..do you have anything else you need to tell me or anything?” She said with an exhausted tone.
Her eyes widened as she remembered the little footsteps and scraping, they were getting much faster and louder than before. She grabbed Padraig and pulled him over, shutting her eyes as it stopped for a moment.
A loud crash came as the door was torn open by a long heavy metal halberd, held up by a very pissed looking little blond girl with a black bow. Gretel stepped in holding it aloft, she really looked mad or maybe extremely worried, a possible combination of both maybe.
“WHATISITLADYCONCHITA!?! ICAMEASFASTASICOULDWHAT’STHEPROBLEM!?” She quickly said, breathing a bit hard as she looked around, but saw no actual problems.
“N-Nothing! It-It was a ugly bug! Nasty little thing, but Padraig killed it, so we’re good..ahahahaa~! Sorry, false alarm, but thank you Gretel, I can always count on you~.” Banica responded, as quickly as she could think up a cover story.
Gretel lowered her halbred, and let out a breath, letting herself calm down and breath again.
“oh..alright..good. It could have been bad..It was nothing, milady. As well, the food is almost ready, please get dressed and I shall see you both there.” She stated formally, turning and leaving, dragging the halbred along.
“Well….that thing…..is my demonic half. It was created when I gained my powers and became a demon. It like……my demonic power itself but in a physical form.” He said in a low tone still feeling ashamed to have but Banica in that kind of situation. “Usually I have no trouble suppressing it even without my ring on but when I am feeling very weak or exhausted and the ring is off, either he will escape or take over me.” He explained the story about his other half.
Padraig suddenly found himself pulled towards Banica and then something stormed into the room. Padraig looked behind Banica and his eye’s widen when he saw Gretel holding a halbred. It seemed too big for someone like her to carry. Banica then made up a story and Gretel left.
“I-I am so sorry Banica.” He said and hugged her tight.” The last thing I would ever want is to put you in danger like that but…..that risk will always be present if I am around….if it ever becomes too much of a problem…..let me know and…..I will leave.” He said in a sad tone hiding his face in her chest.
Banica hit him on the head, not hitting hard but enough to get her point across to him.
“Are you still going on about that? Padraig, its over and done with, just get over it, wandering around it will not do anything. So it happened? Big whoop, just try to stop it if it happens or feels like its going to happen..Worrying about it..only brings misery. Besides..What will regretting it or punishing you even do? Hmm Padraig? Are you even considering your stupid dumb words?” She said, agitated with how he just kept dragging this around.
“I fucking tried to kill you and here you are still, so shut up about that noise and go get some clothes. Gretel made dinner and it would be heresy to let it get cold or go to waste. I’ll see you at the table, Padraig.”
She kissed him on the forehead and walked away, going back to her room to get changed into a new set of clothes.
