"I knew you, little hamster, would not abandon me!" Ireya exclaimed joyfully upon hearing this, about to pinch Adelle's cheeks again, but the latter agilely dodged.
"Ireya," the former priestess said helplessly, "we need to keep our distance."
"Who says?"
"My life is already over, but yours has just begun to shine, I don't want to be a burden to you, holding you back," Adelle said, looking down.
"You're a year younger than me, how could your life possibly be over so soon."
The former priestess fell silent.
"Alright, I know that becoming a priestess was your dream since you were little, but since that dream can't be fulfilled, why not just find a new one?"
"I didn't come to talk about my issues," the former priestess spoke, "I just want to help a little, not cause you more trouble. If you get any closer, I... I will have to leave."
"Alright, I get it," Miss Rabbit withdrew her half-extended foot, "but I can't let you stay in my manor."
"Why not?"
