A momentary blink of bewilderment came from the young witch as her eyes briefly wandered, yet with a soft cough she felt the weight on her shoulders relax a little. "Please, you might have more experience than me, but do not forget the body you currently inhabit." She could even muster a brief smirk as she decided on the offer. "I'll pass on the fig, but a dip in the tub might help me relax a bit, I sure as hell could use it considering recent events."
Despite the fact that in most scenarios she would have likely disregarded the offer from any other man, the peculiar situation that the Guild Master found himself into was equally amusing as it was fascinating to her, and so as she allowed herself to disrobe, a stylish garb in the form of her robe and thigh-high stockings, and finally her underwear were carefully placed on a nearby seat as she allowed her body to take a dip into the spring, the warm water already doing wonders on washing away the tension in her muscles.
"Well, it's a few things honestly." Esperia began, trying to figure out what the best topic to pursue would be for starters. "We have the recent recruitment of Tomoe Tanaka, yes one of the two 'famous' fairy butchers~ Although he is quite a wild card, I believe that for the time being his loyalty is assured due to my efforts to make him believe I am a certain... religious figure her reincarnation, but considering one of your old 'friends' is closely associated with said religion, I think we should remain wary around him, at worst I'll eliminate him myself if he decides to turn against us."
Her words were a bit colder than usually, but she soon tried to change the subject to something more refreshing. "Aside from that I have reason to believe we got an incoming visit from some good old entities we used to only hear about in books: Yes the dragons are returning, yay~"
She replied with a faux display of childish enthusiasm and then turned toward Kon, her body shifting as she approached him, and yet it was ironic that despite the fact this was Kon, the body in front of her was unmistakable that of a woman, perhaps that might had explained her comfort in interacting with him? She wasn't sure, perhaps at first it might had been, but now...
Enclosing the distance between the two of them, she allowed her body to briefly move further into the tub, upon which she finally turned around, almost as if she was straddling her guild master, one hand reaching for her long hair locks as she brushed them aside, her Millennium Eye gazing firmly at him.
"Would you label me insane if I told you that this eye, is the same one in your left socket? Because if being insane is needed to tell the truth, then I might have become a lunatic." She smiled weakly as she looked at the woman's face in front of her. "What do you fight for Kon? What is your reason? I know it is an absurd question to suddenly ask but... The tale behind how I got this eye, is exactly why I am feeling lost. To know that there is a possibility our efforts are for nothing, that the Eternal Nightmare will come to pass no matter how much we struggle? It makes me wonder what is truly a worthy reason to resist so much. In the past I thought it was enough to simply want to do good, but our reality isn't that kind. So I wonder: Why do you fight? What makes you so strong and certain of the path you walk?
