I believe that practice makes perfect

I waited until the tea became cold, before taking Jade to look for Zia. It wasn't hard, really. There were only two places where she would be when she sulked; the library and her room.

So, there we were, knocking on her room. Zia wasn't answering, of course, so I employed the best weapon. "Zia? Zia~ Jade want to see Zia..."

We waited for a few seconds before a quiet voice told us that the door wasn't locked. When we entered the room, Zia was crouching on the armchair near her lit fireplace, hiding her face behind her knees.

Jade ran to the succubus and held Zia's legs. "Zia, Zia, Jade sorry!" the little boy said. "Jade don't know why, but Jade sorry that Zia upset..."

Oho--to think my little familiar would be willing to apologize without having to be explained that what he did might be upsetting to others...

You've grown, Jade.
