Cherry Blossom squirmed in her chair while Fùyuán and Marei with Loyal who was listening carefully to them. The conversation was mainly about Galatic and her father, but Cherry Blossom was still jittery.


Marei: But enough about that, who are you?
Fùyuán: Yes, who are you?

Cherry Blossom quickly answered Marei and said nothing more; Fùyuán looked slightly disappointed with this new Goddess and her refusal to talk. Marei just shrugged.

Marei: Will you at least tell us what kind of a deity you are?
Cherry Blossom: Love.
Marei: Ah. Love.
Fùyuán: Oh, that's a pretty one.
Loyal: A lot of people could use that one.
Cherry Blossom: You?
Marei: Sorrows.
Fùyuán: Healing.
Loyal: Life.

Cherry Blossom nodded her head at them and went back to squirming. Marei cleared her throat loudly, and Fùyuán played with her bracelet. Loyal rolled his eyes when none of the Goddesses talked.

Loyal: I think we need to break the ice in here. We should talk a little about ourselves.
Marei: Sounds good to me.
Loyal: Good, you go first.
Marei: Dang it.

Everyone waited for Marei to speak. Just as Marei cleared her throat to start, the doors flew open and in walked Baby Waffles.

Fùyuán: A puppy!!
Marei: It's not a puppy, Fùyuán.
Loyal: No, how did you get in?

Baby Waffles padded around sniffing at the floor, the chair legs, and Cherry Blossom's feet.

Fùyuán: Ooh! How cute!! What's its name?
Loyal: Baby Waffles, and she isn't supposed to be in here.
Marei: Baby Waffles? Eh, it's cute.
Loyal: Out, Baby Waffles.

Baby Waffles hurried around and made her way over to Fùyuán. While Fùyuán cooed and cuddled Baby Waffles, Marei told a little about herself.

By little, Marei only said her name, power, and her favorite candy.

Loyal: Anything else?
Marei: Nope.
Loyal: Can you at least tell us where you came from?
Marei: A wormhole.
Loyal: How were you and Fùyuán able to past it? Only Deities of the universe can go through those.

Cherry Blossom glanced at Marei whose mouth flew open. Loyal stared at her in surprise. Fùyuán was singing to Baby Waffles.

Marei: I thought Constellation was helping us?
Loyal: I don't know... Not many Deities can enter the galaxy.
Marei: Maybe we can?
Loyal: I don't know! You tell me!
Marei: I don't know either!
Fùyuán: Maybe Galactic's shawl had to do something with this?

Marei and Loyal turned to stare at Fùyuán.

Fùyuán: What?
Marei: What did you say?
Fùyuán: Galactic's shawl?
Loyal: Yes, that.
Fùyuán: Oh, that. Well, a few years back, I took Galactic's shawl to wear it.
Marei: And?
Fùyuán: I tripped and didn't scrape my elbows on the gravel.
Marei: Oh, Fùyuán, that's because you are-
Fùyuán: The shawl protected me.
Loyal: Enough. We'll discuss this later.
Fùyuán: But-
Loyal: Ssh.

Loyal whispered quickly in Fùyuán ear before turning to Cherry Blossom.

Loyal: You? Tell us a little about you?
Cherry Blossom: How about no?
Loyal: ... I can why Fire got mad at you.
Cherry Blossom: What?
Loyal: Nothing. You, Fùyuán? Tell us a little about you.
Fùyuán: Sure. My name is Fùyuán. I'm the Goddess of Healing, Marei is my best friend, and I never actually healed severe injuries.
Loyal: Oh?
Fùyuán: Where I live, there aren't that many dangerous objects.
Marei: Except for paper. Paper can cut your skin.
Fùyuán: Eeee...
