Apple. One apple was able to create so much confusion on her part, that it was hard to believe. How did it happen to be here, where did it come from, where did the energy go..?
"... H-Huh?" Ayu blinked at Liari, snapping from the chain of thoughts in her head. At first, she was confused by her indifferent expression, and shyly smiled back when she saw her grinning. Of course, she wasn't planning on throwing the apple at anyone, nor beating people with fruits, that would be just... So mean. And kind of a waste of food too. How did it appear here anyway? Bluebell took the apple away, so Ayu couldn't examine it further, but it was a regular albeit very stately fruit, one that could be placed in those farming competitions in rural areas. "N-No, I'm not hungry. I don't know how it happened..." she muttered softly in response, puzzled herself. Was it really Bluebell's energy that messed with her own? Maybe, but it wasn't the time to voice her worries like that. She nodded, cradling her hands in a cup as Liari instructed. Fill it with energy, fill it with Ki... Ayu took a slow, deep breath, the pattern on her hands softly gleaming, tinting her fingertips with light. Energy in a form of an orb started to fill her hands - it wasn't as much as a sphere, but it behaved like a compact liquid placed in a plastic bag. It moved and floated, but did not break through from the border of her hands. Now she needed to adjust it more...
Ayu shivered suddenly, and her eyes immediately turned to the side. She knew all too well that sensation, that quick, painful prickle of uneasiness that she spotted in Liari's Ki.
"Bluebell, is-" she wanted to leave the orb and approach her but hearing Liari's low, grouching voice when she addressed Maycair, made Ayu stop in her tracks before she even moved. She was busy... Would it be alright..? Her energy was pained and irritated, and something in it made the young woman wonder if her little sister would like to see her worrying about her weakness in front of a stranger. After all the same weakness was the reason why she was taken advantage of before, s-so... She could not like it. Ayu made a few steps in their direction, safely holding the energy, watching over them in a way and the worry was squeezing her heart. Liari wasn't in the best mood. Maycair started to roar, her signature spiking up with bitter rage as she started to blast the target, fueling herself with negative emotions. It all felt... Bad. Ayu wasn't approving of this type of training, but both of them were too involved in it now... Liari was the one in charge here and she knew too little to interfere. But why were pain and anger associated with growing? It didn't have to ache inside for people to reach their goals, they were other ways. Ayu lowered her gaze, unable to hide her saddened frown. She couldn't understand. She wasn't a warrior, after all, so maybe she shouldn't meddle, but she couldn't help but feel concerned... She couldn't help but be anxious. Both Liari and Maycair's signatures were troubling her right now, to say the least. "Please... Both of you," Ayu raised her head, taking a deep breath and smiling at them with worry. "D-Don't push yourself so much, alright?"
It hurt her to see that both of them had more in common than they would like to admit. The stubbornness, the swirling emotions inside, the need to put on the brave, tough face while something in the soul was hurting. Maybe it would be wise of Ayu to never point it out...
While her gaze was focused on her two blue-skinned companions, she noticed one second too late that the energy in her hands started to swell and harden again. It was growing at alarming speed... Ayu's eyes snapped right back at the Ki to see that it slipped from her grasp, heavy and way bigger than it was a second ago.
... There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground and splattering on it with a squishy noise cutting through the silence. Dumbstruck, Ayu gazed down at the grass. The energy she was holding suddenly turned solid and in a form of a beautiful, big, and round watermelon, with thick skin and a nice sheen. The fruit fell from her hands, dramatically turning into green and red mushy bits upon meeting the hardened soil under the grass. It... It was so weird and unexpected she again was only able to stare at it in silence. Ayu's face blushed with an anxious dark rose hue. She wasn't sure what happened and that was making her uneasy right now.
"I-I swear, I w-wasn't thinking about snacking o-or fruits..." Ayu raised her hands defensively before anyone could comment that she was getting peckish. Her cheeks were flushed with a nervous blush. Like... No, it never happened before. To gather the fruit, Ayu first needed a plant that she could help grow and bare fruits - that's why she was holding onto seeds in her pockets. Creating something out of nowhere was a new sensation, and occurrence defying the laws of nature. But it already happened twice... "I don't know why this keeps happening. I... I shouldn't be able to do that..." she stroked her chin with a pensive look in her eyes. "I was always only able to pour my Ki into the flora around... The grass here and trees, it was all here before in form of saplings or seeds sleeping in the soil, I just gave them my energy to stimulate their growth, b-but..." Ayu looked at the remains of the watermelon and gazed back at the apple that was sitting quietly next to her basket. She couldn't deny it - they were here and she made them. Somehow. "But I was never before able to create a living plant with o-only my energy," she could feel her hands fidgeting. Was her ability growing to this extent that she was now able to pull parts of plants out of thin air? That... That felt dangerous and was making her slightly uneasy. The whole process of life growing and fading had its laws and she felt like she was defying it with her skills. But, would it hurt to try once more..?
Think Ayu. Think... She curled one of her hands in a shape of a cup, covering it with her other hand. Could she really create a plant matter like it was nothing? That was the undeniable truth that the Ki was something that every living thing was made of - and warriors were able to manipulate this energy to create beans, shields, and various types of attacks. The power itself was sourced in a living body, so could energy itself be alive? It felt reasonable to assume that... So if Ayu was able to shape any piece of flora into anything she desired, breaking even laws of biology, it shouldn't be strange for her to modify her Ki to create a plant of it. It shouldn't. Maybe in a small way, it felt like she was breaking the law of nature, but then again her whole being was something unusual and weird with her energy raging and influencing the very vegetation itself. Ayu took a deep breath, closing her eyes. Think. Shape the Ki. Slowly she started to raise her hand, and her energy started to weave a form that was quietly sitting in her palm. The pale, golden glow of her Ki started to solidify. It felt... Right. Tips of her fingers lit up and warmed, while Ayu was calmly focusing her energy on a new task. The thin, gentle roots wrapped around her fingers softly, while a dark green, thick as her pinky stalk grew up and leaned to the side, heavy with a dark set of buds. The plant sprouted small, elongated leaves and the blossoms started to unravel their petals, creating a set of happy, azure-colored flowers.
When Ayu finally opened her eyelids, she found herself softly holding a bluebell plant, made entirely out of her energy. It wasn't an illusion nor just Ki shaped in the form of a plant. She felt it, she heard it whisper... It was a very real species of flora, safely cradled in her hands.

Perhaps Liari wasn't in the BEST position to think this but... that's all it took? A few mean words and a stern tone were enough to set off Maycair and, better yet, keep her under control and focused on the task? ...Noted for the future, in the event such a thing might become useful. What was important was that Maycair had unleashed a TRULY MAGNIFICENT blast of energy, UTTERLY LAYING WASTE to the boulder the majin had commanded she destroy... and a good bit of rock and dirt behind it! She cocked an eyebrow, actually kinda impressed with what this half-demon was able to do. Hell, by all standards and measurements, despite how meek she was, Maycair could probably put almost any warrior on this world in the ground if she wanted.
...She couldn't tell if this was a good or bad thing, being able to just... get MAD like this. Liari knew from experience that an explosive temper, while easy to draw out your full potential from, was VERY DIFFICULT TO USE EFFECTIVELY when your mind was in full rampage-mode... What was even scarier was how EASY Maycair was able to turn it off! With a tap on her shoulder, Liari would indicate to the half-demoness that it was time to stop... and almost on command, she really just did! ...Such radical control over her temper was... kinda intimidating. Still, the woman appeared... distressed at the very least, the majin detecting the tiniest of sparkles at the corner of her wettened eyes, a sign she was about to break down in tears... Liari was uncertain what to feel about this... On the one hand, she just TOLD HER that getting pissed was a surefire way of bringing out her full potential! ...On the other hand, the last thing Liari wanted was to make the woman CRY in a simple training exercise... She decided, in the end, that she was justified and should feel LITTLE over Maycair's distress... but that DOESN'T mean she shouldn't cool things off a bit!
"...Hey, relax. Look at what you did." Liari said with a pseudo-soothing tone, gesturing at the RAW devastation before them! "...You're obviously powerful and your control over your ki. ...I'll be honest, I really didn't think much of you when you first showed up... Far too timid and... odd for my taste... I think what you displayed just now put my fears to rest, however. Take PRIDE in what you can do. OBSERVE what you are capable of and think on how you can grow... and wait a minute."
...Suddenly, Liari would RIP off her arm and THROW it at Ayu, the limb SKIDDING TO A STOP at her feet! Without even a change in facial expression, from the stump a NEW arm would reform in a matter of seconds, the old melting down.... then stretching out and reforming into a tinier, smaller majin! 4'6'', a familiar breastplate, an innocent, wide smile... Ayu would remember this face well, likely the one she was most fond of!
"AYU!" The smaller clone of Liari cried, rushing over to her older sister... only to stop short when her big, wide silver eyes took note of how her energyball... just dissolved into berries that crumbled and squashed on the floor! Woh! She was still having trouble separating her plant-ki-stuff from her regular ki, huh?
"Oh, it okay, Lilly-Ayu!" the smaller Liari giggled, patting her on the shoulder! "We try something else! Something you like!" ...But Ayu was already experimenting. In a matter of moments, as the bioandroid carefully crafted her plant and basic ki together in a delicate tapestry of control, the woman slowly raised her arm up from the now green and fertile earth! She was holding... a bluebell flower... The little blue girl leaned in, her eyes wide with curiosity... before she clapped her hands happily! IMPRESSED that Ayu could make something so soft, so sweet, so delicate!
"WOW! THAT... THAT SO COOL!" The clone cheered, coming up to stand by her older sister, gently wrapping her arms around her waist! "Maybe... Maybe we no make you use ki-blasts and stuff... It seem so hard for you but this.... this seem so easy... maybe we teach how to use plant-things to fight people! You good at making plant thing!" She pointed at the flower, then smiled again before nuzzling her face into Ayu's. "You strong in own way! We make own way better!"

"I'm good, I'm good I promise I just felt a lot at once, I've been practicing but it's a power that brings out things I'm not a big fan of." Maycair explained, rubbing her eyes to make sure no stray tears would follow. Ayu seemed almost more anxious than May, she wasn't quite sure but the woman's affinity to plants was rather comforting. It might've been sporadic, or even scary for the young lady but it was like watching nature bloom with ferocious might. The connection she had with these plants, with the fruit that bloomed it was something amazing. Maycair didn't have much words for her besides a gaze of admiration. Ayu's potential, her connection was mesmerizing. She could see why Liari seemed to be so focused on her, the help her guide that power. If she had such raw strength and learned to control it, to multiply it then she was a force that could take over the planet. Liari already seemed to be at such a point but this duo could likely do whatever they wanted and no one could stop them. That was what made her trust them, most people with power acted on it to wield how they could. Ayu was wanting control, to be able to direct the energy in her. If they were lucky, she would use it for good.
It was even more shocking, when she had seemed to create plants, not just vitalize them into a splendid growth but actually make them. It was something Maycair had never seen, the only thing comparable to her knowledge was magic. She had seen demons use it, she had been taught it to a minor degree but most of it was her own practice. She wasn't able to do anything that impressive. Maycair was getting a great example of what to aim for. She wanted to ask questions, to ponder how she did such a thing. Maycair wouldn't get that chance as something else would catch the hybrids attention. There was something even more shocking, more surprising than Ayu's displays. Liari, decided to show something off as well, or maybe it was a complete accident. Still it was rather strange to see a miniature of someone just pop off from them. Bizarre was putting it nicely, how did you approach such a thing? Was this normal for her? Was that how her race had been procreated? As interested as she was to know she didn't dare speak it aloud in fear of offending or being seen as ignorant. Maybe Ayu or Liari would explain, this could have been something they experience before.
The little Liari seemed to be a sweetie though, she was quickly to try and uplift Ayu. The woman had shown some distress over the direction of their training but the little one had something great in mind. She was right too, if Ayu wasn't so good at the ki part if she could at least learn to direct her verdant, uninhibited power than it could be turned into quite the deadly weapon. She hadn't really fought with plants before but there were some deadly one's out there. With the vitality she had Ayu should've been able to sustain herself pretty well. There was no question of if she had the tools, but maybe this direction would help teach her how to use them better. Maycair could only hope to find the same guidance, she was finding solace in the fact she was able to follow instructions. She just hoped for more, as her jaw was still hanging low from the things she had just witnessed.
"Well I can see this training has taken quite a turn I guess I'm not the only guest. Unless she was here before I mean she seems to Ayu pretty well already. The more the merrier amirite?" May asked, hoping to break the tension just a little. Well most of the tension was with herself, she just felt awkward. How else were you supposed to handle someone randomly having some type of clone child right before you. It wasn't the strangest thing she had ever seen but still, what other courses was this day going to take?

Despite her thoughts being focused on her training, Ayu couldn't help but glance at the blue-skinned duo from time to time. She was somewhat worried. Maycair was calmer than before and it seemed that the initial fright that caused her panic was fading away, but at the same time it felt like uneasiness was still there. Especially when she started raging and blasting the stone, it just... Her emotions skyrocketed and were scattered all over the place - she was exhausted after everything calmed down. Not physically, just... It was hard to put in words, but Ayu knew from experience how hard it is to feel too much. She wasn't sure that by pushing herself like that Maycair wouldn't be unscratched. Of course, she was strong and could go on with this aura fueled by anger, but Ayu wasn't sure that it was healthy in the long run. But she wasn't a warrior, so what did she know..? She had no clue what emotions and thoughts would go through a fighter's mind during battle, so maybe it wasn't her place to say anything like that, yet, she was still concerned. And she noticed that Liari changed her approach too... At least a little bit, which was good. Her little sister was cautious about the stranger and Ayu couldn't exactly grasp why. Seemed that both of them were learning how to talk and cooperate now, well, or at least train together. She didn't feel the same wariness as before from both of them - that put her mind at ease a bit.
Right, she needed to focus on the plants in her hands... What should she do with her powers now? That was the question. And as she was switching her concentration to the flower in her hands, something happened. Maybe it was instinct or fate, but it made her raise her gaze at the Bluebell and Maycair just in time. Ayu paled watching in horror how Liari was tearing her arm clean off. Like a piece of blue modeling clay, it seemed soft and malleable - there was no blood, no moan of pain, no sensation of aching in her energy - she just did it. Yet it was enough for the young woman to feel her throat tying in a knot when her little sister threw her limb at her. She was weak in her knees and Ayu started shivering in pure shock, unable to grasp the reasoning behind it, an inch away from a panic attack... And then the severed arm grew and shaped into a familiar form, easing her fright just enough to let her breathe. Her silhouette leaned forward when she placed her hand above her heart, feeling how it was beating in panic so badly, that it was bruising against her ribcage. While the Mini-Liari was talking to her sweetly, Ayu slowly raised her head, trying to shake the rest of the confusion and dread out of her mind. That... That felt like a short nightmare unraveling in front of her eyes in broad daylight. Hopefully, that scene won't hunt her in her dreams tonight.
"P-Please... Bluebell..." Ayu breathed slowly, patting her chest. "W-W-Warn me before y-you'd try something like that a-again..." she stuttered with a shaken expression, wiping the nervous sweat from her brow. It wasn't hard to guess that it was one of her abilities... She didn't mind it at all, but the way she was introduced to that skill of Liari - well, she could have chosen another way of telling her she could make a clone of herself. Because that was it, right? The same hue of her Ki, just weaker energy. Ayu's gaze softened when she saw a familiar, honest grin and a pair of arms was wrapped around her waist. "That scared me..." Ayu admitted, gently patting Mini-Liari's head when she hugged her warmly. The current form of Bluebell was so tall that Ayu could hardly reach her head with her hand... "I thought at first that for some reason you hurt yourself..." She was almost certain that there was a flash of pain in Liari's energy before. And people tended to cope with one pain by inflicting another on themselves, to distract their thoughts like that. With her little sister undergoing more and more changes lately, Ayu was afraid that something happened that pushed her to this action - but it turned out to be nothing bad after all. Well, she hoped so.
Tension melted away from her shoulders and she glanced at the flowers in her hands. Mini-Liari was cheering her to do more practice but suggested choosing a different approach... And maybe there was some truth to that. Though Ayu was feeling a little weird, knowing very well that Liari was like twice her height and training with Maycair nearby, and another Liari was hugging her warmly and talking to her like nothing ever happened. Like she never took part in the fight in West City. That was a bittersweet feeling. It warmed her heart to see her cute little sister in this form, genuine, honest, trusting... But it was also an uneasy reminder that when she wasn't around Liari was stripped from this shape and turned into her current self, growing and maturing too quickly. No, no, that wasn't right to think like that - even if it was true. Ayu stroked her blue tentacle hair fondly. Whatever she felt, it wasn't right to be so concerned again over something that they already have talked through many times.
She wasn't able to figure out the mechanics behind this skill, because both of them have identical Ki... Was the Bluebell the original person and this one was just a clone that she had some kind of control over? Or were they both the same person, like two copies of one being - well, one slightly changed - acting on their own will? Independent or not? Thinking like that was only going to make her head hurt... She couldn't bring herself to think about Mini-Liari as merely a copy... Maybe it would be better to not ponder about it at all. Ayu sighed and smiled warmly at the little one.
"You're right," she nodded, bluebells in her hand turned back into Ki that she absorbed, "I'll try my best." But... What should she do? Still holding a cuddly little girl, Ayu started to wonder about her abilities and looked around with thoughtful eyes. If she was truly able to create any plant from scratch, what should she do? The young woman was also able to modify the genetic makeup of any piece of flora, so the field of practice would be enormous - just, what should she focus on? It was so difficult to decide or settle on an idea at least... Liari and Maycair were training to see how strong the dark-haired woman was, but Ayu couldn't do that. What about the defense? A trap? Maybe something unexpected? Or something fun..? Fun. Right. Her pale yellow eyes gazed down, at the mini version of Bluebell hugging her waist and cuddling her head to her chest. Oh, she was going to love the idea that just appeared in her head. Ayu's gaze softened while she stroked her back. "I've got an idea... Let's make something fun here first to test what can I do, alright?" she asked warmly and raised her hand.
Now... The border of the patch of greenery she made was once again shaken when the ground trembled a little. The plants that Ayu created from her own Ki started to spread, turning this spot in wasteland into a little jungle. Literally - trees, vines, bushes, all the flowers - it all made it look too thick and too luscious to be a simple forest. It didn't end there. Thick vines wrapped around the branches and shaped a swing. A regular swing with hardened seating, so it would be more comfortable to sit - Ayu always wanted to have something like that in her backyard, but the trees never grew quickly enough and with time she forgot about it. More of those lianas tangled together and intertwined creating a mighty set of monkey bars right next to them. It should be fun for any kid! There was an open slide made of thick and rolled leaves, and lots of roots and lianas hanging around and poking through the ground, creating a mess and a maze - so it would be fun to walk through them. Ayu gazed at what she made with satisfaction, but also curiosity. Who would have thought?
"Can I push you on the swing?" she smiled at Mini-Liari.

Liari blinked... kinda shocked by Ayu's reaction. ...What? Hadn't she seen a severed limb befor-
...Duh...
This was just how it was for Liari for most of her life. While it DID often hurt to lose body-parts like this to some degree, this was just how every-day life WAS for her. The number of things her body could do was borderline incredible and absolutely impossible by the standards of most. She had... grown comfortable in all the things she could do... and this was probably why she was surprised that Ayu had shown such an adverse reaction to something Liari considered trivial! ...It was just HER LIFE! SHE could DO THIS! A limb to her was like losing a few strands of hair to a human or something: EASILY replaceable! BARELY a problem. ...When Ayu saw it, she probably didn't see just a piece of Liari she could dislodge at will... she saw an arm... and all the nasty ramifications that came with losing an arm for most people...
The smaller clone's expression dropped, seemingly coming to the same realization Liari herself did, wrapping her arms around Ayu and hugging her tighter! Stupid, stupid... She had completely forgotten how... fragile these people could be! It wasn't so much they weren't TOUGH, rather... when things went missing, the whole tended to collapse when it came to most races! Pieces were just... irreplicable and she had to remember that. Not everyone was like her... if the blood and the hair and the stupid fuzzy eyebrows didn't give it all away. She was unique and had to consider others in how she conducted herself...
...Even if the idea boiled her blood a little...
Well, while the LARGER body went off to work with Maycair, the smaller one was left DAZZLED as Ayu turned their little oasis in the wasteland... into an EVER BIGGER, MORE LUSH ONE! The little clone's mouth shrunk to an 'o' of awe, her eyes wide as her older sister conjured forth a small patch of forest around them, blending biomes the very same way one might blend paint on a canvas! What Liari admired the MOST, beyond such COMPLEX MAGICAL CONTROL... was how well things seemed to blend together... In a way, Ayu wasn't just plucking plants out of the ether and SLAPPING them down in a place where they don't belong! She wasn't just raising massive jungle-trees in the middle of the forest or spawning HUGE rain-plants in the middle of an arid environment... She was practically creating a bite-sized environment here, like a pocket within a larger whole!
...And then, as the smaller Liari pressed herself into Ayu, her cheeks blushed warmly as her back was gently rubbed, the majin observed just how creative Ayu can be! With only the soft groan of massively expanding wood and the whispers of rustling, blooming leaves, a literal JUNGLE-GYM was being born right here! Slides made of leaves, swings made of vines, ROOTS intertwining and twisting in large enough loops so that any small child could move through easily!
...In essence... Ayu had made something beautiful, something innocent... befitting for the child-like being she was trying to impress!
"Woooow..." She whispered, pulling away from her sister... if only to get a better look! "It... its so COOL! HOW... I mean... You... You're so COOL, AYU!" It would be then that her sweet, older sibling would ask if she could push her on the swing... and the clone only smiled, a grin so big, so pure and bright... it challenged the very SUN with how WARM it could be! She would take Ayu's hand and guide her to the vine-crafted swing, sitting herself down on the seat and kicking her legs happily!
"Push me! Push me!" She beckoned, laughing eagerly! "Push me, Lily-Ayu!"
______________________________ Back with Maycair...
"You can't afford 'not to like it.'" The larger, more stern Liari stated, crossing her arms over her chest, displeased with this response. "You have to learn to call upon this at will because, if you can't, you're more likely to find yourself getting the snot kicked out of you before you can even BEGIN to get angry. Power is power. And you need all you can get."
...Maybe that was harsh... Okay, yeah, it definitely was, but her heart was in the right place! Maycair might have been talented, so much so that she had enough power at her command to waste SEVERAL large boulders, but there was virtually no point to having it if you couldn't bring it out on command. Maycair might do something stupid and not be able to pull it out on her own. She might find herself accosted and overwhelmed BEFORE she can get pissed off. Having the mightiest sword in the universe is pointless if it couldn't be drawn... THIS was the point of Liari's statement.
Maycair even seemed distracted with Liari's clone, remarking how she didn't expect to see THAT today and that the more of them there were, the merrier! Liari only tilted her head, confused... then her eyes widened in realization.... and then narrowed again!
"...There's still only one of me. It's not like that's any different or separate from me." Liari explained with a slightly frustrated tone. Glancing over her shoulder to make sure Ayu wasn't watching, Liari would pull off ANOTHER of her arms, the limb then floating above her upturned palm and splitting, melting and twisting until five small balls of majin rubbery flesh floated in a small, rotating circle above her hand!
"...She's no different than these pieces. I can make them do..." One orb grew a face like Liari's, smiling a toothy grin her way! "I can make them say..." ...that very ball stated, as if saying Liari's line for her! "...And I can make them be anything." Suddenly the balls sunk back into her hand, her stump QUICKLY regrowing back into a fully grown arm. "...In a way, that clone is just another arm or leg."

"I understand, its something that I have some poor memories relating to. Up until now, I believe it caused more problems than ones that have been solved by using such dark-fueled strength. I guess it all goes into how I use it, I won't lie and say to feel so empowered is wrong, a feeling so great is sublime but the fear comes from what may come from it. I don't wish to use that as an excuse to avoid accountability for my actions but I would be a fool to not notice the effects it has on my well-being, and on my mind. But, you are not wrong, with the world I've faced, with the people I've had to deal with you need whatever you can to survive. Discussions of morality are often the privilege of those who haven't had to fight to live, to survive just another day against a world that was at your throat." May prattled, seeing value in what Liari was trying to teach her. Maycair didn't have that luxury, to avoid a fight. If it came knocking on her door it was life or death, hesitation to use her inner strength would result in an untimely death.
It was a bad habit she indulged in far too much, more than anger she couldn't just shut her mouth the moment concern crossed her mind. There was already enough to be confused about with Liari's clone. She respected it, she didn't fully understand the splitting or different display of consciousness if it was only just an extension of her own body. May wasn't one to speak, she talked to herself enough as is, she just wondered if that was similar to literally talk to another you. It was best to avoid asking any questions, it was neat but what good would she gain from putting her nose where it didn't belong?
Ayu was seemingly as shocked as the strange instance, it wasn't exactly normal. She thought if anyone was aware of such a possibility it would be the green gal. She and Liari's relationship was closer than anything she had seen, but what did that even mean? Even with pairs joined at the hip did they hold secrets? Were they really as friendly as they seemed, Ayu had to be but trust issues bleed through the hybrid? How often had people seemed kind? How many times was she led on by false promises of friendliness? It was also in her best interest to open up those doors of vulnerability, it was the only way to build a strong foundation. It was that connection that would allow her to have people to rely on, for if her strength failed. That wasn't exactly promising to think of either, of failing and needing to be in someone's protection. It was equally as upsetting as it was comforting, contradiction plagued her heart and it wasn't right to put it on people she had only recently met. So, it was in everyone's best interest if she could play a safe middle ground, connecting but keeping guards up.
"Still I have to say that's impressive, I've known demons who could do interesting things but such control is pretty unique. I can respect the skill, reminds me of the trickery in magic. I bet you could really kill at parties with a trick like that." May blushed a little before retorting back to her own comment. "Sorry that was a lame joke, I do think your control and energy both seem rather impressive. I've needed some advice, so thank you, I shouldn't be afraid of who I am, of what power I hold. Everything I do is an extension of me and it's my choice of how to go about it. I can't afford to slack, to be off guard, that's how I ended up here, but I've been making some poor decisions. I think I know what I need to do." Maycair had a burning look in her eye, it was a simple idea that had been growing.
At first, it was just an idea she was telling herself, a plan to grow that was hard to initiate. Each day Maycair had been thinking, saying she was going to leave to go to planet Vegeta. To go to a home she had no place in, to meet the people that were of her father's blood. It was a terrifying proposition. Maycair had no trust for the saiyans, for their ways, Zero had already warned her about how dangerous of an idea it was. They weren't a very welcoming bunch by most accounts. It was the hard choices in life that pushed people forward. She was going to push her limits, to look fear in the eyes to be able to say she was able to overcome it. It was a bold plan, it could lead to her death. If she wanted to have pride, to find a sense of accomplishment something needed to change. That was the absolute first step, in a path for her to be more than an abused child and a failed weapon.
The only thing left on her mind, was the strange biologies of the people before her. It wasn't exactly normal, to see people who could regrow arms. Ayu almost seemed to be one with plants, the way her ki affected them seemed like communication to May. Even if it was just her raw power it was something unique, something that would be good to keep in mind. It was pure almost, an expression of life that was a good reminder that maybe the world could be naturally beautiful and kind. Though it felt wrong to impose such thoughts, maybe the young lady was learning control of her ki because of the strife such an issue brought forth. Liari's life must have been a little strange with how she could dissemble so easily. It was a good reminder of not to judge, everyone seemed to be in their own strange circumstances.

Well... It should be normal to be terrified when seeing that someone close to you is ripping their arm off their body, right? Though the results weren't fatal or not even bloody, that quick occurrence has got her quite shaken. Ayu got startled there, that was true... She wasn't aware of what Liari could do, but it seemed that her reaction caused some kind of deterioration of the mood here. Or was it just her? It was not her intention to sullen the atmosphere, and right away she started to feel guilty. Her only fault was that she got scared for her little sister's sake, so why does it feel so bad now..? She'd never try to make Liari ashamed about what she could do.
"Oh, Bluebell... I don't m-mind you doing that," the woman stroke her blue head gently, giving her a warm head pat. Did her reaction cause Liari to feel... Worse? She wasn't sure she felt it in her Ki, but it was probably the tight grip around her waist created by a pair of small but surprisingly strong arms. "I just wasn't aware you had this ability. It caught me by surprise and I thought you hurt yourself, that's all..." With Liari's nightmares and her love to fight, she wouldn't be surprised to know that her sister could do something so extreme - she just couldn't begin to suspect what measures she could take. With an embarrassed smile on her blushed face, Ayu looked at her little sister with affection, stroking her smooth, rubbery cheek. "But if you're comfortable with that and you're not in pain, that's all I needed to know." She explained, hugging her back tightly. After all, that was the most important thing right now.
But still - they all were in the middle of the training! Ayu was glad that her creation was met with such enthusiasm and a beaming smile. This was only a test to see what she could do, but creating a complicated set of playground-like elements took only a bit of her time and energy - what's else she could do? To see that, she'd have to practice more... And more, to grasp the very basic rules of her skills - but that later. Right now she wanted to play a little with her Bluebell.
Ayu smiled warmly, her eyes clear. She stood behind the Mini-Liari, telling her that she was going to push her now. She patted her shoulder before she rested her hands on the vines that created the swing and she pushed. Slowly at first. It came natural, as far as an ordinary activity like this could, but Ayu enjoyed every second of it. It was so simple but so pleasant. Never before had she had a chance to play with anyone like that, and for a moment something coldly prickled her heart. If she was there for Liari before she turned into her tall, mature self, maybe they would have made more memories through her childhood, just... She failed. There was no going back from that, though it was no use pondering about it now. Once in a while, this feeling emerged on the surface of her mind, stirring the sleeping guilt. Her hands fidgeted lightly, but she shook her head before anyone could spot this little weakness of hers. She'd hate to worry anyone... And not wanting to cast any shadow on this innocent, fun activity, Ayu decided to focus on her little sister instead. Hushing dark thoughts, the warmth returned to her gaze. Cute, little Bluebell was enjoying the swing... This was Liari after all, even if it was just a part of her that was shaped as Mini-Liari with her honest and cutely naive demeanor. Hopefully, the bigger version will feel the same glee. Let them both smile and laugh, even if only for this while.
The young woman pushed again, sending the small Majin higher - the force of gravity pulled the little Bluebell right back at her and Ayu took two steps to the side to get out of the swing's way. With her every move, the swing was reaching higher and higher... Her fingers brushed against the seat and vines, applying more force to the next toss. Chuckling and giggling happily, looking at how the little one was dangling her legs, Ayu had a quiet fit of genuine laughter, something that hasn't happened to her out of late.
Her heart just felt so warm all of the sudden.

With Maycair... ______________________________
Liari rolled her eyes at this excuse... What, she was AFRAID her own energy would turn against her? Did she have so little control over herself, she lets her own raw energy tear at and RIP AT her mind!? At least the half-demon had listened enough to understand that it was more important to fill one's arsenal with POWER than to fill one with none, due to principle.
"...That's all the more reason you need it under control." Liari huffed, crossing her arms over her chest again! "...Now you have two dangers: a danger if you cannot summon forth your power..." Liari paused for slight dramatic effect. "...And danger if you can but its at random times. At some point you need to take responsibility for your potential and force it under your control. Other wise you'll end up killing yourself or someone you don't intend to."
Liari then blinked as Maycair commented how her arm-trick would be popular at parties, the corners of her lips flicking up into a smirk... but only for half a second. ...She had no idea why she found that funny. Maybe it was the thought of Liari actually showing up to one of those human parties and showing it off... Maybe it was just the fact it was coming from Maycair who looked the sort to NEVER EVEN GET CLOSE to one of those stupid, ear-pounding-music parties.
...Or maybe it was because it was hard for Liari to stay so serious when her clone was having ALL the fun in the world!
Maycair mused that perhaps it was time to MOVE ON from whatever irrational fear she had over herself and that, perhaps, it was a good idea to take her power by the horns and MAKE IT work for her! Liari would nod slowly, a small glint of an approving look flashing across her expression!
"Good. The sooner you stop running, the sooner you can actually deal with your problems and make them work for you. No matter how difficult it is to control, that power is yours. Treat it that way. It's not some separate thing, some animal that's been grafted to your side. Power is power... and power can be controlled and used. Especially if it's yours." Maycair would then thank Liari, stating that she knew what to do with herself now! ...Liari would finally allow a soft smile to come across her lips as she reached out and gently ruffled the little strange demon!
"...Good. You seem like a nice enough sort. Stay that way, would you? I... I think we have enough jerks on this planet already."
...And with that, Liari would walk over to Ayu and her clone to see how they were doing!
With Ayu.... ____________________________________
The pitch of the baby majin's giggles SPIKED with joy each time she reached the peak of Ayu's pushes, her legs kicking excitedly beneath her as her big, sweet sister played with her! This was what she always wanted, this kind of attention! No stakes, no stupid chores... Just fun... Sweet, honest family fun that made EVERYTHING leading up to it worth it! ...She missed this... Even the larger Liari, who was now leaning up against one of the massive trees Ayu had conjured, watching them, EVEN SHE missed this. Things were so... innocent and didn't seem to hurt as much... The worst she really felt in those days were disappointment, but that was normal for a child. There was no serious guilt or... hatred... Just pure, honest wholesome love... and maybe some cheeky playfulness now and then.
...Sometimes, she wondered if she would have been better off this way: young, stupid, but far less jaded and more curious about life... Maybe if she had, she and Ayu would have been so much happier together...
...And speaking of cheeky playfulness...
"HEEEHEEEEEEEE!" The little Liari cried... before slipping right off the seat as it swung back towards Ayu, the little girl being launched back towards her older sibling... before landing against her chest!
"OOF!" She grunted softly, her eyes rolling in their sockets with disorientation.... before giggling once more and wrapping her arms around Ayu's waist!
"I'm sorry!" She snickered, nuzzling her face into her chest! "I lost my grip!"
"Woah, looks like you two are having fun." The older Liari noted, a small smirk on her face!
"YEAH!" The younger one responded with a big ol' grin! "Lily-Ayu made a WHOLE PLAYPLACE for me! We all can have fun!"
"Oh yeah?" The older one grinned, looking back at Ayu. "...I guess... This is the best way to use your powers, huh? Making people's lives better?"

This anger was hers, her sign of the life she had been given. It was a sign of the life she was living. Pride was still a long shot, but acceptance was a good first step. Liari was right, this power wasn't some separate identity it was an integral part of her identity. That made it more terrifying than she could fathom. It meant if she lost control if she ever went too far it was her that was at fault. This power was only as corrupting as she allowed it to be, it was tempting to feel such rage flowing through the heart but she couldn't give into that. Hearing she seemed good like she was a person with a kind soul those were words to hang onto. It would be a reminder that May would have to hold onto.
She saw the slightest sense of humor in Liari's smile. The hybrid didn't wish to push any more buttons just to illicit a laugh but it was nice to see. The joy was spreading all around as the smaller reflection of Liari shifted the focus of training. What was a session to gain a proper sense of control now turned into what looked like a little game? The power she exuded was overwhelming, she had shown no interest no pension for violence. If Ayu had for a second, for even a moment switched the tune she hummed the plant-like woman would surely have no issue taking over the planet. Liari had strength, the force to back up such ideas, but Ayu in her passive state had such potential that the path of her growth could've been exponential. It was a much better situation that these people were making friends with her rather than tossing her to the side.
"Well, if you can have such fun with your power I'd say that's a feat in it's own right." Maycair would say walking up to catch up with the group. She felt so small, literally and figuratively. These titans of power, we're able to enjoy a moment like this, well at least the smaller Liari certainly was. May smiled, she tried to stay calm, they showed no intention to harm her but the mental breakdown she had experienced no more than a day ago still lingered. The blood, the last gasp of air that few men gave on a peak isolated from the world. How the cold, the howling wind crept around corners to sting the skin and pull back her mind. She was living in that memory, even if it was in stark contrast to the situation she was in, it was endlessly re-lived. The monks, saw her as nothing but a monster when she wanted shelter. How wrath felt so warm, so welcoming to protect her from the onslaught of worn-out words and the blizzard. That isolation, that cold lived with May, it would probably stay with her until she left the planet. The grin she held was a facade, holding back all of the pain, the mistakes she had made. She wanted to be good or to do the right thing, for Liari's words to be true. May still couldn't help but feel evil by nature.
"I've never seen a playground so nicely made, if you're ever in need of a new career I bet you could make a whole theme park for kids." May joked, hoping to add to the fun. It was a good distraction from the pain she was feeling, the dread that crept in. The best way to battle the past was to make new memories. That's what this day would be for her. It was a day to make memories, to have fun with the life she was living.

Maybe... Maybe. When things were simple and the time wasn't as important, it just felt good and warm to do as they pleased - even if it was a brief moment of playing on the swings. Gently pushing Liari, Ayu couldn't help but smile. If only things could be like that for longer... But they will have to wrap up this practice at some point and return home, where Ayu will call the police in East City once again to ask if they have any details about her missing grandfather. She'd worry about people roaming the surface of this planet with malicious, dark energy in them. She'd think about others she knew but have no way of knowing where fate guided them. With each day the reality was becoming more serious and troubling, so this moment of peace seemed even more important now. Surely, she should focus on creating more times like this, who knows how badly they all would need it. Ah, there she goes again, has got lost in thoughts once more...
And suddenly a small but precious weight fell on her, almost tripping them both, but Ayu leaned over and wrapped her hands around small blue arms.
"Did you, now?" Ayu chuckled with gentle playfulness, stroking Mini-Liari's back. She was almost sure that the little one half-fell half-jumped on her purposefully, but no way that she minded it - she said so to make her giggle, tickling her sides. They soon were approached by others. It was a little unusual to see Liari interact with herself this way... Mini wasn't her clone, just an independent part of her as she understood. Well, even if it wasn't like that, it wasn't as Ayu needed to grasp the mechanics and reasoning behind it. Liari was Liari. She smiled at them. "No one is too old for a playground, I'm sure," Ayu added when the Tiny Bluebell happily bragged about the playground. She looked at the equipment she created.
Making other's life better. Maybe..? Unknowing to Liari, this statement didn't exactly overlap with the experience Ayu had. Her expression was a little bittersweet when she gently smiled, shyly troubled by that - though a blush on her face made it look like she was being bashful by subtle praise. If the young woman only could, she'd love to make anyone's life just a little bit better - but how? Wholeheartedly and effectively that is, how could she do it? Perhaps she did help a tiny bit, but it always felt like her aid was too late and too insignificant... Like it wasn't preventing anything, just barely trying to mellow down the results of something that has already happened. There was nothing she could do for Athren's children while they were alive, and immortalizing their mounds with flowers seemed too trivial compared to the pain and misery that snaped their lives in their buds. And again, Ayu couldn't help Liari when she was smaller, more naive, and trusting, now doing the best she could to be a supportive older sister. Nothing she could do would ever take away what has happened to the Bluebell, there wasn't much she could do except try to lessen the strain of the tangled emotions... She just wished she could be able to do more, but everything they needed was a strong warrior able to protect others - and Ayu was far from that. She wasn't a fighter by any means and knowing that wasn't making things easier.
She needed to be more if she could be of aid to anyone, the solution wasn't hard to deduce. But would that be enough to make anything better..? After all, Ayu never fought, the thought of hurting or killing someone was creating a sense of objection sprouting from her very core. Maybe she wasn't strong enough. Maybe that was her role to be stuck on the side like this... The young woman slowly shook her head, getting rid of the darker thought that started to creep in on her. Hearing a joke from the black-haired woman Ayu tilted her head with a shy smile. A small gesture with her head made other vines create a seesaw with two pillow-like seating made of moss. Now it felt so easy... So natural. It was hard to believe that there was a tiny point in time when Ayu was afraid of the flora around her - or rather, her own unpredictable skill. The ability grew rapidly and she wasn't aware of what she was capable of, mostly using it to grow the food they needed in the backyard.
Trying something new wasn't that bad.
"I'm n-not sure..." she started, wanting to answer to May, but was searching for the right words in her head. "As a kid, I was always too shy to join others playing a-at school, and my grandfather never took me to the playgrounds," maybe the reasoning behind this creation was a little childish but Ayu didn't mind. This memory was just one of many she wasn't too fond of but helped her to pick an interesting idea nonetheless. She looked at the Mini-Liari and smiled warmly, patting her head. "When I thought about creating something fun, for someone younger than me, that was the first thing that came to my mind." She explained, glancing back at the little kid-themed jungle she created, with swings, slides, nets to climb, and vines to hand off from... That looked fun. Next time she should create an obstacle course. Maybe that would be a good way to train together? Gentle tendrils of bindweed wrapped her fingers, white flowers with pinkish smears opened, blooming. Ayu's expression softened - she accepted this power, but was still troubled by the mystery behind this connection. What was behind the bond between her and the plantlife? She stroked her hands, tiny vines tangling around her wrists. "I wish I'd know why I-I can do this..." Ayu admitted, lowering her voice.

The Mini-majin giggled softly as Ayu cradled her in her arms, Child-Liari pressing herself as close to her older sibling as possible. ...The older one smiled gently. It was almost like replaying a memory in real life, how things USED to be. Things were so simple, so sweet... There was no concern for things like... plans or... vindictiveness. All there was in the world was her and Ayu and whatever adventures they could make wherever they were...
...Liari missed those times...
Granted, she would NEVER give up her intelligence! After all, if her ability to think just vanished and the impulsive void of NOTHING filled the space... Why, it'd be TORTURE! She was USED to speaking in full sentences! She was USED to the almighty power she commanded!
...But then, she had been used to going into Ayu's bed and curling up with her when she had a bad dream... She was used to cheerfully bouncing around the yard and helping her out in the fields! While things weren't any less... wholesome now, it felt like there was less joy... Ayu was showing a lot more regret... or perhaps desire than before, to know MORE about herself and the origin of her abilities. Liari had been much more stoic and perhaps even a little more distant, being far less touchy-feely and more... mature in how she approached her affection. ...She felt like she had cut her own childhood short for... for what...?
...WHY did she do this to herself again...?
As the smaller majin hugged and snuggled with Ayu, the older one couldn't help but look down at herself thoughtfully. This form... It had some amazing abilities... But at what cost did she acquire them...? WHY did she...
Liari blinked and shook her head before she fell into that loathsome thought-trap. If she dwelled on that topic for any longer than a second, she would NEVER get out of it. Right now, she had friends and family around her.... She needn't bog down the mood with HER somberness! ...After all, Ayu seemed to be doing a good enough job of that already!
Both Liaris blinked and looked to Ayu as she answered May's musings, their older sister explaining how isolated her childhood had been. Some by her own choice, some by her... grandfather....? Wait... Didn't most children stay with their birth-parent...? Did something happen to her dad?
...Questions for later.
The smaller majin cocked her head and smiled sweetly up at her sibling as she patted her head and explained how this beautiful construct of nature came to be... before falling deep in thought as to HOW she could do it at all.
"Does it matter?" The older Liari asked, flatly, walking up behind Ayu and resting her hands on her shoulders! "...Sometimes, things are the way they are. If we keep asking "why" in questions like these, we'll only drive ourselves crazy!" Believe me... I know... (She thought to herself) "...And besides... I think this literal 'Jungle Gym' is a reflection of you! Can you guess how...?"
"...Um... Its pretty!" The smaller majin answered! The older Liari smiled and nodded!
"Yeah! Anything else?"
"...Um... Its really colorful and stuff!"
"Yes, its vibrant! Nice to be near! One more thing!"
"Hmmm..." The smaller Liari tapped her chin with her finger thoughtfully... before her eyes and smile BRIGHTENED together! "Its really good!"
"Yeah! It's well made!" The older Liari cheered softly before leaning in and giving Ayu a very soft kiss platonic on her cheek. "...Those are the things you need to worry about... alright?"
"Yeah!" The smaller Liari giggled before kissing Ayu's other cheek! "You're the bestest! Keep being the bestest! Where your powers come from... its not all that important!"

The way Liari and Ayu conversed seemed so natural. She'd never had any connections like that in her life, nothing that felt so natural. Each interaction she held with the pair started to feel like an awkward dream, such an idealistic image of everything simple that she dreamed of. She didn't mean to invalidate their experiences, she knew nothing of their pain, people did always say that. Even with those things in mind, it started to build feelings of tension within. How was she to fit in? What part could she make for herself at the moment she was already intruding on? She felt guilty for having these feelings, for wanting to stay around any longer than she was welcome.
There was some wisdom to take in it, in the way they lived. It connected to the things Liari was saying to her as well. Maybe all that mattered was how she chose to live her life. May desired to feel friendly to enjoy this moment, but no she still had to redeem herself. Not for the sake of others, but for how she saw herself. May had been facing horror and weakness, and this breath of fresh air had provided some sense of clarity on how to progress with her life. She already had her expedition in mind, but this was a solidification of how to approach it. She needed to accept her weakness, to give up her ego to let someone teach her. It wasn't easy to let down your guard so much but she had to do it if she wanted to feel or experience anything like they have.
May would move forward with weak steps, nervous about how to approach the subject. She had to move on, but she wasn't running away in fact she felt more welcomed than ever. May desired to see them again, but she could only linger so much. The hybrid needed the strength to become the person she wanted, to feel more worthy of moments like this. It was something special, something she planned to cherish with all of her heart. The joy manifested that was the little Liari was a great example of how they should all be living. That was something Maycair believed with all of her heart, she wanted to have joy in her life, to share in it with as many others as she wished.
Her voice began to quiver, no words came out at first as she let them exchange their words. Pushing past the barrier of her own anxiety May found the courage to speak. "Well I'd love to sit around and play games, I mean seriously this is way more fun than what I have planned but I don't mean to overextend my welcome. You helped me gain my bearings and gave me a much-needed break, I want to see you both again to see how things may have changed. I just have a big trip I've been putting off for way too long. I'm sure by then Ayu might have a whole garden amusement park for everyone to play at." She tried to add some joy to it, but she felt like everything was just an inconvenience. She wanted to share parting words with them, to have that nice goodbye. It was very rare she didn't give a quick, silent departure. That showed so much growth for her already, but it was only the first step in a long journey to come.
Her posture showed new confidence, but it was by no means a striking pose. The conflict between who she wanted to be, and who she was had been very apparent. She just needed to see how they felt, and how she could gauge their actions. She needed to sit through this, to endure a social interaction through. That was more of a challenge than anything, most would call her juvenile but it was a response to trauma. There was so much pressure, so much anxiety that was starting to press past the precipice of her control but she kept calm. May kept the flood at bay, she wanted this more than anything else.

Could Ayu make something this fun using her skills? Perhaps? Cradling closer to her Mini Liari, she patted her back and glanced once more at her creation. That was the truth - vines tangled and twisted, thick and smooth leaves created slides, lianas shaped a pretty swing. They were nicely made indeed... A bindweed started to grow around her hand, delicate, soft tendrils wrapping around Ayu's fingers and pale pink flowers emerging from tiny buds. At the same time, this ability felt so reassuring, but also it was worrying. One thing was manipulating the plants that were already there, another was creating them from the scratch - but she made them with her Ki. It was natural, like breathing, it came on its own like a developed ability that was so crucial and innate, she started to wonder how could she not be able to do that before..? And it was quite encouraging, to know, that no matter where Ayu was, she could always create a bit of plant life to keep her company.
She glanced at the Liari standing one step farther than usual... And maybe it was just her imagination, or was she distancing herself? Or Ayu was the one whose mind started to drift away? She nodded and patted Bluebell's hand when hearing a soft reprimand about thinking too much. Oh, they all tended to brainstorm a little too much... And now Liari and Mini Liari started to evaluate her playground. T-That was a little sudden... All the time two Liaris were talking, praising her abilities and creation, Ayu wasn't able to say a thing. While standing there and maybe trying to speak up, she found herself getting more bashful with every little but genuine compliment... To the point when her hand brushed against her braid and she pulled green locks closer, to hide her face behind them. W-Well, she wasn't used to it, that's all. She felt heat on her cheek and a very familiar blush started to bloom on her face, reaching the tips of her pointy ears.
"You f-flatter me," Ayu chuckled shyly from behind her braid, lowering her gaze. She didn't know what else to say and would probably keep on getting redder and redder if Maycair would not speak up about leaving already. The young woman tilted her head and let go of the braid that gently fell to the place on her back. Maybe they made an impression that they were unwelcoming to her? This short, blue-skinned girl wasn't someone she had too much contact with - mostly she was training and talking with Liari - and something about her was making her uneasy. Not in a bad way that is... Just, the swirling emotion and doubts about everything, with a hint of anxiety while presented in front of unknown places and people, just felt familiar. She couldn't say she fully knew why and how Maycair experience this mix of feelings, but she could at least say that she understand how could they work on someone. Like, Ayu was known to hide behind trees when she was suddenly in front of someone who was unconsciously intimidating. At least their behavior wasn't the case here and it seemed like she really had to go. "I s-see... Then, perhaps, drop by if you'd be near us?" Ayu suggested with a shy albeit warm smile. No pressure of course. There were people enjoying solitude more than the company and she understood this well, so she hoped she did not sound invasive. She raised her hand. "P-Please, take care," she gave her goodbyes gently.
The vines that were growing next to her moved like under a soft breeze, waving their leaves.

"Its not flattery if its trueeee!" Both majin sung in unison before snickering as Ayu's face LIT UP like a Christmas tree! Liari really didn't know what she'd do without Ayu... She was so sweet and kind, perhaps even motherly one moment, then so bashful and anxious the next! She was patient and kind, never raising her voice and yet, commanding authority. She was a sweetheart, one Liari loved with all of her heart, someone she would love to just hug and snuggle all day... if she had the chance!
In fact, she was feeling a MIGHTY COMPULSION to do so right now, but, before she could plot out such a devious plan, Maycair announced that it was time for them to take their leave! The larger majin blinked, caught off guard by this sudden development... but she merely waved Maycair off as Ayu wished her well! Before they knew it, Liari and Ayu were along again, just as they had started. Slowly, an evil, NEFARIOUS, REPREHENSIBLE smile would arch across the little Majin's face... as she leapt up and TACKLED Ayu to the ground before tickling her relentlessly!
"SNEAK ATTACK!" She whooped as she went full HAM on her favoritest person, aiming to make her laugh and squirm until she teared up!
...The larger majin could only stand over them both and smile softly, content with her lot in life... Ayu really was the one bright light in this world full of uncertainty... and she would protect her forever... ___________________________________________________________
