Feeling the changes in her body, Arcueid was more than surprised, she was at an absolute loss. She could feel her Vampiric Impulse fade away in its entirety and, for reasons she couldn't pletely understand, Vahn's aura suddenly felt infinitely more fortable than before. Part of her wished he would hug her tight enough that their bodies would fuse together, a thought that made her heart flutter quite a bit...
Vahn was, of course, aware of the change in the way Arcueid viewed him but, knowing it would be better to let her make decisions about their future, he pretended not to notice. It would be too easy for him to take advantage of her immediately after her transformation as, much like other Spirits, she was instinctually drawn to his Source Energy constitution. It was like how a flower would blossom in the presence of the sun, eagerly soaking up the life-giving rays of light to nourish itself.
Still, this didn't mean Vahn was going to simply do 'nothing' as, prior to expelling Crimson Moon, he had made a few promises. With this in mind, he broke Arcueid from her momentary stupor, tracing his thumb along her bottom lip to see how she would react. This reminded her of the embarrassing incident from before but, rather than shy away, she looked up at him, her sapphire eyes glimmering slightly before slowly closing them.
Never one to shy away from an open invitation, Vahn lowered his head to meet Arcueid's lips but, just as he was about to make contact, Vahn dispelled the [Space-Time Orb], ejecting their spiritual bodies. If he was going to kiss her, he would rather do so in reality as it would have a far greater impact.
Arcueid obviously noticed the change in setting but she didn't seem to mind it as Vahn pleted his prior action in the real world. He began to guide her in a progressively more intimate kiss while cradling her body in his forting embrace. This was in spite of the fact that the Millenium Castle around them had faded away in its entirety, leaving them standing in the middle of the air, a pristine blue sky filled with clouds surrounding them...
After losing the power of Crimson Moon, Arcueid was no longer able to manifest the Millenium Castle. Despite this, she still had her Marble Phantasm so, if she so desired, creating a pletely new castle was well-within her ability to do so. For now, however, she was more focused on the moment she shared with Vahn. It felt like the void within her heart was being rapidly filled by his presence, something Arcueid had thought impossible due to the nature of her existence.
Unfortunately, as all good things were want to do, the moment came to an end sooner than she would have liked. Were it up to her, she would freeze this singular moment in time and savor it for all eternity. As for Vahn, he had other matters to attend so, while he was growing increasingly fond of Arcueid, he couldn't tend to her indefinitely. More than ten days had passed within Avalon while he was meeting with her so there were a lot of things requiring his attention.
Since he could tell she was saddened by the reality they couldn't stay together indefinitely, Vahn rested his forehead against Arcueid's, whispering in a guiding tone, "I promised to make you happy. While I have confidence in being able to do so using my own power, people are happiest when they have a lot of people to interact with. I don't want you to feel like everything needs to be rushed so, for now, we'll return to Avalon and introduce you to everyone else. You have been sealed away and isolated from the world for too long. It would make me happy to see you surrounded by friends and family..."
Hearing Vahn's words, Arcueid lazily nodded her head in response but, rather than allow him to part from her, she put a little bit of strength into her embrace as she said, "I honestly don't know what it means to be truly happy...I will trust your judgment. If you believe I will be happier by befriending others, I will do my best to get along. Still, no matter what happens, you have to take responsibility for your actions...I won't let you get away with making me someone else's problem..."
Vahn was a little taken aback by Arcueid's words as it seemed like she had been able to see through his intentions pletely. In truth, he wanted to give her a bit of time to adapt to life and, if possible, help her find someone worthy of her love. He truly wanted her to be happy so, if she was able to find someone that could love her pletely, Vahn felt she would be much happier than being a member of his ever-expanding harem.
Since Arcueid was basically asking him to make her his, Vahn wasn't going to shirk his responsibility in the matter. She was an exceptionally beautiful woman and, while she was a little naive, she was more than qualified to make her own decisions. If this was what she wanted, even if it was only as a result of his coaxing, he wasn't going to disappoint her.
With this in mind, Vahn put more strength into his own embrace before giving Arcueid a taste of what she had gotten herself into. He snaked his right hand down her lower back, causing a red hue to color her cheeks as he went even further to her surprisingly toned butt. She was wearing the same white dress as before, albeit with a few slight changes, but he was able to feel her body heat through the fabric without any difficulty. Then, remembering her earlier words, he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "I can be pretty greedy..."
Following his words, Vahn could feel a tremble pass through Arcueid's body but, moments later, she repeated her own words back to him, causing a smile to spread across his face as she muttered, "It's okay to be greedy...
