[color=6ecff6]"Hello, my name is Nagare. It's a pleasure to meet you. I must say, this is the first time I've met monsters of the plant species. I'd like to ask you both many questions, but unfortunately I have a pressing matter to attend to. I'm sure we'll have more opportunities to speak later. If you'll excuse me."[/color] With that she took Vară by the hand and beckoned for Titanica to follow. [color=ed1c24]"Um...Nagare? Where are we going?"[/color] The fire demoness asked sheepishly. [color=6ecff6]"Somewhere where we can be in private."[/color] Replied the frost dragon. With Titanica following them, she would be led to a small wooded area a little ways from the guild hall. Once there, Nagare would let go of Vară's hand and stand before the two. She folded her hands and placed them on her abdomen, then looked dead at the two monsters. [color=6ecff6]"Before I get to the gist of things, I'd like to state a couple of facts about 'our' kind."[/color] Said Nagare as she gazed at Vară. [color=6ecff6]"My Grandmother taught me many things before I left my tribe. Since the established rule of the new demon lord, monster-kind are highly in tuned with the essence humans. Most notably, their scent and spiritual energy. After the other night, Neil's scent was heavy on the both of you. That along with the unpleasant tension gives it away quite clearly."[/color] Nagare began to blush a bit, as she of all people doesn't have experience in this matter as much as either of them. Nevertheless, she was resolute in her speech. [color=6ecff6]"I believe it is obvious that on that night, the both of you had engaged i-"[/color] [color=ed1c24]"Nagare, that's enough! Please, you don't undetsta-"[/color] The flame lass attempted to interject, but much to her dismay she would find it ineffective. [color=6ecff6]"No Vară, this needs to come out. On that night you two had copulated with Neil, correct? I'll to take this time to settle any negative feelings this matter has created. Especially the ones concerning you, Titanica-san. I've felt the frankly murderous aura that radiated from you when Vară was put on the spot. I understand that this is a touchy subject, but I refuse to illicit such animosity toward fellow guild members!"[/color] Her intensity now flared up, Nagare's eye were filled with a brimming seriousness in stark contrast to her usual nature. [color=6ecff6]"If the threat of death is the only way you can mediate with comrades, then I shall be the new target of your scorn. Instead bullying her, why not contest with someone on an equal playing field?"[/color] Her village elder told her stories about the ancient Gojira Clan, rulers of the deep sea. Their power unrivaled, they were either feared as calamities or worshiped as divine creatures. Be that as it may, Nagare refused to back down. [color=ed1c24]"Nagare...wait a second!"[/color] Vară cried. Having dragged another into this, all the flame demon could do was watch bewildered as the scene played out.
