[color=E0FFFF][b]"Rebirth...day."[/b][/color] The gear woman said, mulling it over in her head for a second before realizing just how perfect that saying fit. [color=E0FFFF][b]"Thank you, Amelia. From now on, I will bake the cakes with "Rebirthday" in mind."[/b][/color] she said in addition, turning back with a faint, appreciative smile to the Dhampir. This would also be backed up with a big slice of cake, a silver fork impaled into the side.

Turning to Nora, Auriola's eyes looked a bit saddened. [color=E0FFFF][b]"Of course...it is the least I could do."[/b][/color] she said, clearly saddened about something. Despite being reincarnated into a devil, her core programming still recognized Nora as a human...and one that she hadn't been there to protect at that. She felt the thrum of a driver within her chest, desiring activation, but right now Kindness could wait. Handing Nora a gigantic slice of cake, she said: [color=E0FFFF][b]"I hope it is to your liking. Humans in time of great distress seem to enjoy sweet things. If you so desire, I can make as many cakes as you want."[/b][/color] Turning on her heel after handing that piece of cake over, she put the rest on the counter, not wanting to interrupt Hakuryu's introduction. Crude as he was, there was definite kindness in his words, though she'd have to drill him on etiquette once again later. 

Speaking of etiquette, Dmitri upon arriving would soon receive an ice pack for his face, which Auriola held against his head throughout his introduction. [color=E0FFFF][b]"Hello Dimitri. Will you be needing aloe vera as well?"[/b][/color] she asked, having learned the severity of human "emotional burns" as described by [i]"101 Ways To Communicate With The Young Generation!"[/i] Giving him a half-hearted pat on the back, she said in a monotone voice: [color=E0FFFF][b]"There are an estimated 40,000 species of discovered forms of piscine life in the sea. Loneliness is not guaranteed."[/b][/color] 

...She hadn't...quite gotten down that some phrases weren't as literal as she thought they were. Either way, she'd continue holding that ice pack for him. While he wasn't human, he was something that was close enough in nature for Auriola to not consider a threat in any capacity.
