Tapioca and Pearl were now sitting on the elevated bed staring at Alexei and Calibri. Calibri fiddled with his earring and stared at Tapioca who was Alexei's clone and then at Pearl who was a clone of himself.
"Do you think you can handle this?" Alexei asked them. The two glanced at each other. "Well, you have explained well enough." Tapioca said.
"We know the color codes from your memories too."
Calibri nodded. "Remember, shapeshifters and demons are not exempt from the Verbatian curse. You naturally became one of us the moment you shifted into our bodies. Haochen may come by later. He does not know. You can only safely speak to people who are already aware. If you ever speak of it to anyone without making them take the Verbatian Oath, you will-"
"Die." Tapioca and Pearl said and shuddered slightly.
Tapioca looked at Pearl. "But you are still alive. Which means... You have really never spoken of it before?"
