Naturally, the moment she came to understand what the symbols on the statue meant, Dahlia practically raced back to their camp on the first floor and excitedly told the vampiress all about her findings. The girl was practically bouncing off the walls in excitement and upon seeing her Valentina didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Sweetheart, it's ok, calm down. Take deep breaths and try to use your words, ok?" The Archduchess couldn't help but smile helplessly as Dahlia kept trying (and failing) to explain something to her and instead tripping over her words time and time again. "I'm guessing you discovered something then?"
Finally taking a deep breath, the girl excitedly nodded her head and jumped forward to give the vampiress a hug. For her part, Valentina tried not to wince as some pressure was put on her injuries and instead just held the girl close as she started to explain.
