I looked over at Veronica as I walked around, where she was still bent down at my height. Now that I was up close to Veronica's face, I could see just how much bigger she was than .
"Thank you for all your help, girls, and especially you, Veronica. Thank you for giving a ride," I said, and I walked up to Veronica's face and then kissed her cheek that was even larger than Jilly's.
I could feel the heat start to radiate off Veronica's face as she crawled back from , and that stood back up in shock. I watched her lift one of her paws up to touch the place that I had kissed, and I turned around to head into the Keep.
"Find so shade so you can both keep cool. I will send soone out to bring you water and food," I said as I awkwardly opened the door and slipped into the Keep.
The door closed behind , and I sighed and then started walking up the Astroturf stairs. Jessabell was awake, but she was shaking and staying quiet as I carried her to Nixi's room.
I had to wonder what was going through her head right now that allowed her to stay mostly calm? I would have thought that nothing could help soone that was scared of everything, but I guess that everyone has so kind of coping chanism.
I knocked on Nixi's door, and there was a scramble that ca from behind the door, and then I heard won arguing and then so crashing. I wasn't sure If I should stand this close to the door, and I also wished that the won would calm themselves down.
Jessabell was starting to shake more now, and I couldn't really bla her. I was worried about what was going to be waiting for on the other side of the door for us, and when I finally did open it, I was surprised to find that x's mother, the redheaded one, was the one that opened the door to greet .
"Welco! Have you co to… what is in your arms?" Perita asked as she Looked over Jessabell, then she got a look of understanding and nodded her head. "Ah, I see. Yes, bring her inside, and we will take you upstairs? I assu that was what you wanted, right?"
"Yeah, if you girls don't mind watching over her until I am done with my training. I need to do so stuff with the other girls, and now I need to get Jilly to make so more room for Jessabell and the two Sphinx girls," I explained, and Perita nodded.
"Yes, the other won are already up there waiting, but we will have to send you back the sa way. I can take the Minostien up with , and then you don't have to get launched out of the Keep," Perita told with a warm smile.
"Ummm, sure… You got this?" I asked, trying not to say sothing rude, but Perita nodded to with a smile and then took Jessabell from with almost no effort.
"We will take care of the girl; you go deal with the other ones and get what you need to be done. Just rember how helpful we are to you in the future," Perita said with a smile as she closed the door on before I could respond.
Then I was standing out in the hall all alone, or I was for a whole fraction of a second.
"Why do you insist on trying to sneak up on ?" I asked as I turned around to face Nixi.
To be honest, I had really thought it was x behind but, one was just as bad as the other.
"I was just observing your interactions with the different won. Kazz Foreman, I really don't like you, but there is sothing that is different about you that I can't deny. I hope that you continue to keep doing this kind of work in the future," Nixi said to , but I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Hmm? What is this all about? You're supposed to hate , right? I still don't like you very much, but I can see your reasoning for what you have done, but I disagree with your careless attitude towards everyone that is around you," I said and then began to stretch.
"I am just seeing things the way they are right now, and I have been thinking about so of the things that you said. I didn't like most things that you accused of, but I also can't say that you are incorrect in assuming those things. I have just been dealing with people like my son and his pet projects for so long. I guess you can say that I was getting tired of knowing that nothing was going to change, and it was only a matter of ti before soone found out what was going on," Nixi explained, and then took in a deep breath, then let it back out in a long exhale.
"I can see why you might feel that way, but if you want to get off this island, then we need to work together. Though, I will not work with you if you can not control your anger. None of the girls or even x deserves your anger. I was the one that broke your shit and yelled at you, not any of the others," I explained, and Nixi looked to have resisted heavy eye roll as she nodded her head.
"Yes, father, I will learn to get my anger in check! But then you have to start treating with more respect!" Nixi countered, shaking her finger at .
"Sure, the mont you give a reason to. I am not trying to be rude, but this is a two-way street. If we are going to work together, this will take effort from both of us. For now, I just want you to help with Jessabell. Help figure out what the best way to deal with her will be and how I can keep her and the rest of us safe from her; deal?" I asked.
"I shall do my best; you keep getting stronger and get the girls back here that will beco with us. The mont you can break through the barrier, I want to be out of here," Nixi said, and I nodded in agreent.
