Eva noticed the disquiet in Alice’s voice. She wasn’t sure what was bothering her but Evangeline, a keen observer of human traits, already had a feeling some of it might have to do with the blonde man. However, she also knew when to stay quiet and when to voice her questions. This time, she chose to just listen and nod at her. When Alice mentioned pregnancy, however, Eva stopped staring at the empty glass in front of her to quickly direct her gaze up, catching Alice just in time to see her blush crimson. Pregnant?

He had almost the same opinion of why someone seemingly got everything when others were pushed down. She still had the same answer as then for it, though. Whether one gets pushed forwards or down depended on their own attitude and effort. If people like Alice and herself who started out with nothing could reach here, she didn’t see why others couldn’t with the time they spent in bitching about it.

I suppose it all went well in the end, though?” she asked her, quite taken in by the idea of an ancient magic. “Speaking of ancient magic, though…Eva trailed off, jumping between the decision to tell her and not. “I came to a rather close acquaintance with one not too long ago.”
