What Is Love?
"This is delicious…," Aurora said after taking a bite of a cookie that Lux had given her. "It's been a while since I've eaten a cookie."
The young lady became teary-eyed as if she had remembered a memory from her distant past.
A memory from when she was still with her family and enjoyed the warmth and care of her adoptive mother, who treated her like her own daughter.
"Eat as many as you want," Lux wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief. "Don't worry. There's more where those came from. Isn't that right, Eiko?"
"Pa!" The Baby Slime nodded before she continued to eat the cookies in her bag with a big smile on her face.
Aurora thanked Lux for his concern and ate the rest of the cookie in her hand.
"You know, Zane and Zeke would often tell me about your adventures," Aurora said after she had finished a dozen cookies. "Although I am stuck here, I still felt as if I were with you on those journeys."
