Nectar kept her word and obediently remained in the carriage. Sitting cross legged on the floor, she had her fingers on her chin as she closed her eyes [ What exactly happened on this trip? How can I change anything? From what I remember, things started going south towards the end of the trip. When did this trip end again?
There are a lot of variables this time and I have changed a lot of things. But since I haven't been able to affect Eros much, events linked to him might not have changed either. And I'm coming up with a surprise later ]
Nectar groaned and threw her head back, " Thinking is hard ". Mario laughed as he looked at her from his place on the bunk across the room, " I'm not surprised, you don't do it often ".
Nectar glared at him, " Pretty sharp mouth for a ten year old ". Mario stuck out his tongue at her, " Pretty blunt head for an empress ". Nectar laughed slightly, trying to control her anger " Don't make me throw you out ".
Mario rolled his eyes, smiling provokingly " You care about me too much to do that ". Nectar laughed bitterly as she looked around the carriage. Reli suddenly turned to her and smiled, starring Nectar [ Did her eyes just twinkle? ]
She walked over and sat in front of her, " My first, dearest, most amazing Sister Empress ". Nectar nodded cautiously [ This feels like a trap.....so it must be a trap ] " If you say so Reli, how can I help you "?
Reli held out her mana stone, " If you wouldn't mind, I was hoping you could make me something ". Nectar nodded and took the brown mana stone from her, " What would you like me to make "?
Reli scratched her head lightly [ Why does my head seem blank? ] " I'm not sure ". Nectar smiled slightly, " How about a sword "? Reli nodded, " No problem " [ This is so exciting ]
Nectar closed her eyes and encased the stone in water and frowned slightly, opening her eyes " Your stare is very intense Reli. Making me a tad uncomfortable ". Reli quickly covered her eyes, " Ow, I'm sorry " [ Nice going Reli ]
Nectar laughed, removing the hand she put on her face " Just take it down a notch. You must be really excited ". Reli nodded, " Yes, I'm curious as to how you make them ". Nectar nodded, " You should have just said so ". Again she nodded and Nectar began slicing and cutting into it.
Reli followed the movements closely, especially when the water would glow a slight white whenever it cut into the stone. Her eyes started to cross and she rubbed them lightly. Looking up at Nectar, she realized Nectar's eyes were still closed.
The stone soon took form, looking like a sword and Nectar opened her eyes, cutting into it faster and more precisely. She smiled as she suddenly removed it from the water and it fell into her hand.
The carriage was suddenly filled with laughter and applause. Nectar blinked in a daze as she looked at them. and acted shyly, like an actor after a performance " Thank you. Thank you ".
They laughed and Nectar whispered to Reli as she gave her the sword, " Why are they doing that "? Reli smiled as she turned the lukewarm stone in her hand [ How is it even warm? ] " It seemed like a pretty light show Sister. Must have impressed them ".
Nectar nodded slowly, " If you think so ". August groaned in frustration as his feet dangled off the chair, " When are we gonna get to the wherever it is we're going "? June nodded in agreement, turning on her side " Yeah, I'm almost sick of this ".
Nichole hummed thoughtfully as she ran her hands over the soft fur on the floor, " As much as I hate to say this, I am sick of this carriage ". Nectar frowned slightly, " Then get out of my carriage ". Nichole suddenly smiled as she patted the rug, " Sick as in amazing ".
Nectar nodded slowly, " That's what i thought " and they ended up laughing. Nectar sighed, [ If only we didn't have to go back there ]
