Poehina and Saber had to take care of a few more assassins before they could leave the room. While they were fighting, Poehina told Astéria to close her eyes:
"You shouldn't see something so violent."
Astéria did as she was told but she would still peek from time to time to make sure that Poehina was fine. Or maybe she was peeking because Poehina was just too cool. She was peeking no matter what.
Once finally alone, Poehina looked around the room and she felt her stomach churn. She hadn't noticed all the blood because of the adrenaline but now that she was calming down she could not only see but smell it:
"I'm going to puke."
Astéria jumped up:
"Are you okay?"
Saber rolled her eyes:
"She is. She just has a weak stomach."
Astéria started panicking and having to calm the child down helped Poehina control herself:
"I'm okay, darling. See? Everything is fine. Don't worry, baby."
Astéria started crying:
"You can't be hurt. Please don't be hurt."
Poehina nodded:
"Yes, yes. I won't I promise."
Poehina wanted to hug Astéria but she was covered in blood. After a quick shower, the three of them finally left the room and they walked to the park. Astéria was clinging to Poehina, not letting go for a second and Saber was following them from up close. It seemed Astéria wasn't satisfied that Saber followed them. She would have by far preferred to be alone with Poehina.
"So how do we do this?"
Saber shrugged:
"I don't know. Just... Grab someone I guess.
-And what? Pretend? They may think I'm crazy and run away. That would destroy everything.
-Then I'll go explain the situation first. Wait here."
Saber left and Poehina sat down on a bench next to Astéria. They didn't sit for very long that Saber came back running to them:
"I found your wife."
Astéria flinched.
"Where?
-There. The gorgeous woman who is wearing a long blue dress."
Poehina nodded before getting up from the bench and walking towards the woman in question. It seemed Saber had explained to her the situation because seeing Poehina, she smiled. Poehina had no idea what Saber had told her but it wasn't important.
"Honey!"
The stranger pulled Poehina into her arms:
"I missed you so much!"
Poehina returned the hug:
"Me too. I am so happy that you are here. You are so pretty."
Poehina glanced behind to see if Astéria was listening and there she was, a few steps away, boiling. She looked so angry that Poehina thought it might work and went back to acting:
"Every second without you is so long. I couldn't wait to see you again.
-Oh, you are so sweet. I couldn't stop thinking about you today. You are so pretty.
-Thank you. You are so pretty too. I love your dress."
Poehina had no idea how to flirt or pretend to be in love so she just started complimenting the stranger while still in her arms:
"Thank you! I bought it this weekend. We could get you one too so we would be matching.
-I would love that.
-And we could get one for our baby when we finally have one."
The stranger accompanied her sentence of her hand getting closer to Poehina's belly. She didn't have time to touch it however because Poehina heard a huge detonation behind her and the whole park got surrounded by awful heat before she felt arms pulling her far away from the stranger.
She didn't have to look back to know that it worked. She would have recognized Astéria's arms her eyes closed. Poehina still looked back, happy that her wife was finally fine but what she saw made her freeze. Oh she was angry. Very angry.
"Who is your wife?"
Astéria's voice was so cold that Poehina knew she had to be very quick with her explanation:
"I was just acting! I thought that making you jealous would help you come back to your adult state."
Astéria's eyes were so shiny that Poehina had to look away. It was like she had two Suns instead of her pupils.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to help. I love you."
Astéria grabbed Poehina's chin from behind before pulling it to the side and exposing Poehina's pale neck. She then bent towards it and bit Poehina with all her strength. She bit her so hard that Poehina couldn't help screaming:
"Angie!"
Astéria started licking the blood and left a few hickeys around the bite mark. While doing so she didn't look away from the stranger once, rubbing Poehina's ring angrily:
"She is my wife."
The stranger who had been having fun seconds before seemed to be regretting getting involved and she quickly nodded before running away.
"Angie? I'm sorry."
Astéria didn't let go of Poehina and turned to Saber:
"It was your idea wasn't it?"
Saber shrugged:
"I refuse to answer.
-I'm not really talking to you am I?"
What?
Nothing for now.
Poehina couldn't turn around so she started caressing Astéria's arm:
"I was very worried about you. I wanted to do everything I could to turn you back. Did you think that I would like someone other than you touching me? This proves how much I love you."
Astéria whispered into Poehina's ear:
"Then you should get a reward. What about I erase that thing's touch from your body?"
Just as she said that, Astéria went back to biting Poehina's neck. The latter hit Astéria's hand gently:
"Stop! We are in public."
Astéria pulled her mouth away from Poehina's skin and the next second she teleported them to their room.
