Currently, Lailah and Apophis were walking out of a special building not far from the manor.
They'd come at the behest of one of the others in the hopes of completing a certain group project.
"Mother, I did not find that enjoyable." Apophis complained.
"Yes I know, my sweet boy went through a lot." Lailah comforted.
The serpent familiar had shrunk himself down enough so that he could wrap himself comfortably around Lailah's frail shoulders.
"She asked for something from each of us though, we couldn't be the only ones to refuse could we?"
"Yes we could've." Apophis nodded.
Lailah put on a displeased expression when she saw the way her familiar was behaving. "I'll tell you what, next time there's a battle I'll let you eat as much as you want."
The serpent's tongue flickered in excitement.
It had been too long since he'd gotten to eat any fresh hearts and he was more than missing it.
"Mother is forgiven."
