Since Eda was in a hurry to go to a party, Ross enlisted to accompany her. Leaving her alone would be a disaster if she ended up drunk, and between complaints, she had to accept. While they finished preparing, Eda was telling him about her situation.
-I hate being a fairy, I wasn't born for this crap. I wanted to be an actress or a singer. If it weren't for my grandparents, I swear I would have gone so far by now that no one would recognize me except by my stage name of Leen Dragonfly-
-Pff ... sorry but what name is that hahaha- Ross can't contain his laugh
-Shut up, moron, you said you would listen to my reasons and you just keep laughing like stupid-
-Sorry, I've calmed down. But your grandparents who have to do with your artistic career being ruined, I mean your grandparents would have supported you seeing that there is a lot of freedom in this world, if it were mine they would have sent you to the monastery or to a shrink-
-In the magical world it is not so easy to do what is sung to you. I am the last generation, there is no one after me and also I have no other relatives than my grandparents. If I had refused to be a fairy, my family's legacy would have been lost with my grandparents.- Eda sounded very upset
-My grandparents hate my dreams since these were what caused the death of my mother. My mother was a lyrical singer, because she followed her dreams, she couldn't have more children. That's why she couldn't choose and ended up as a fairy-
-But what about Agnes? -
-Agnes is only my sister by name, we are not even blood family. I wish she were my real sister so she would take my place or one of my nephews would do it hehe-
-On declining, is it impossible? You can say that you do not want to continue and that they look for a replacement, in my case they surely got the son of a fallen noble house to take my place or one of the foolish cousins that I have- the memories are distant in Ross
-I can decline, but there is no replacement for the blood on the wands. A star is given to each family with a blood contract and is fragmented to be given in each generation. When the star no longer has fragments, it is said that the family is extinguished and they are forced to mate. That is why the fairies marry other magical houses to prevent the fragments from suddenly becoming extinct.- A frustration falls on Eda when remembering her life
-They are merged and fragmented again. But if you marry a non-magical house, it is impossible to keep the star. My bad luck got worse when it turned out that the last fragment fell on my mother who was related to my father, and he was someone without magic. She gave me her wand to prevent someone from realizing that there was no longer a star to fragment in our family and that I was the last heir in appearance.-
They had walked and reached the boulevard, they were halfway to the club while they kept chatting.
-I read about that, to request a new star you must form a new house and demonstrate that you have the blessing of all the stars and the will of the last fragment, but the process to request an audience is so bureaucratic and takes up to two years to be approved For this reason, even making such a request is rejected. But still...-
-You want to know why I haven't left, right? It's about the Flakes, the McCartneys and the Emersons. They wish my grandmother's position, as she is the best and last fairy in my family and my grandfather is the last Great Reviewer and Editor. Nobody wants to get involved with us on purpose and they want our magic circle extinction and I don't want to mix with that garbage either. I wish I could make them disappear for treating us like shit for years- Eda makes an expression like hanging someone
-If you want that, improve yourself-
-Not crazy, first dead.- Eda pretends to shoot herself in the temple in a mocking tone
-I don't understand you, at times you are firm and the next ... make up your mind because you confuse me-
-The last time I proved to be clever and smart I ended up locked in a box for a whole weekend thanks to the damn envious Susan and her brother. That couple of shits is the reason that I dye my hair almost every day, by being inept I can go unnoticed by them, nobody messes with me and I can keep my family title intact until I have children and I pass the responsibility to them hahaha-
-You're crazy, what you want to do is illegal. What your mother did is illegal. The regulations clearly say that inheriting a wand is strictly prohibited, wands are personalized and keep in mind that you cannot pass me as if I were a rag doll to your children-
-I know, so when the time comes I will ask for an audience in the regularizing commission and I will get another star. Also, now you are my wand and you were personalized, I don't know how, I don't know why. We both incurred illegality long ago, between the time you crossed into this world as a fugitive and took a fragment without permission, the crime is already done-
-Gosh I got involved with a crazy actress- Ross is worried about his future
-If he makes you feel better, you're right about everything. I won't discuss anything with you as long as you help me with this matter and keep my secret. Partners? - Taking an oath, Eda indicated to Ross that her word was to be trusted
-Okay. It makes me happy to hear that. It is music to my ears. We will be partners in your dirty business. By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves correctly. My name is Russel Jasony Fox milady, you can call me Rusty or Ross whatever you like- Ross bows to say hello
-Edaleen Dior Fairchild, but you can tell me Leen. Nice to meet you sir knight- Eda crosses one leg over the other and slightly bends her knees to greet
They both look at each other with an evil smile and an air of being up to something macabre. Today Eda had made a partner and a friend after a long time and it was time to celebrate. They arrive at the Roxy Club, a place known among artists of all musical, plastic, digital, theatrical genres, among many others. They sit at the bar and Eda orders a Mimosa and a Cubalibre for Ross while they enjoy the stand-up show.
**
The next morning, Eda wakes up with a terrible hangover. She does not remember what exactly happened or how to get home. Her mind was blurry and she notices that she is naked, when she seemed to remember something of her revelry, she is doubtful and turns to find Ross asleep next to her. They had both drank themselves drunk, although Ross carried her home as best he could, the party continued after that.
-Tell me it is not true....-
Between her dismay and her lament, Ross grabs her by the waist and drags her to his side. He murmurs that she let him sleep a while longer and kisses her to close her mouth.
