Broken and Elaine stood facing each other, and she bowed slightly to him. "Would you mind if I asked to ride with you on the nine-tailed fox spirit?" she asked softly.
Broken paused for a moment, considering her request. "Do you want to discuss this further outside?" he asked. "Even though you invited the others to step out?"
A playful giggle escaped Elaine's lips as she lowered her head slightly. "Does this make me seem even more selfish?"
"Not really, I don't mind. Let's go," Broken replied.
"Please, follow me," Elaine said with a soft smile.
They walked through the back door, arriving at a serene backyard filled with vibrant flower gardens. Polly appeared nearby, gracefully transforming into her larger form, her four tails swaying.
"She is so beautiful..." Elaine whispered.
"Her name is Polly."
Elaine smiled warmly. "Hi Polly, may I ride with you?"
