"I… can't." Tilo claimed while shaking his head.
Leveling a preemptive strike, he lifted his hand in the air.
"I promised Helix I wouldn't tell." He clarified.
"Master Tilo… that just makes us want to know more." Marie replied.
"Everyone always says that when they're told [no] once.
If the answer is no, the amount you want is irrelevant." Tilo sassed.
"If you want to know, I'll confess. But you need permission from the boy."
Everyone looked at Helix's sleeping face with a conflicted expression.
"How good was it?" Marie asked.
"Good? There's nothing good about it!" Tilo snapped.
"So juu~see." Charlotte grinned.
She immediately reached over.
Marie growled at her like a dog willing to bite.
Charlotte pointed to Tinker, snoozing on her lap.
"If you growl, Tinker will growl, then Hellie will wake." Charlotte warned.
Marie narrowed her eyes on Charlotte.
"Relax. He'll fall back asleep or be thankful someone let him know he has a heavenly lap pillow."
