Tender Reunion*

Briefly, Malachi used one of his tails to wrap around Bianca's neck. 

He whispered something into her ear through the mouth of the serpent, and watched a sinister grin form on her face that almost wasn't indicative of her character. 

Save for when one, particular subject was concerned. 

Bianca moved around in the water, and tiptoed toward Joanne who was still sitting on the edge of the spring, looking pent up and slightly uncomfortable. 

She was continuously looking back and forth between Anna and Malachi, and the nearest wall. 

Was she glad that she and her daughter had both found a man to make them happy and fulfill their needs? Yes. 

Did she want to watch her daughter get her needs fulfilled? Not really, no. 

It seemed like she was going to be relegated to only standing around awkwardly when Bianca suddenly inched closer to her with a smile that she could not quite read.

"Are you alright, Jo? You look kind of pale."
