Midsummer NiGHTopia [open, and still accepting characters, humans now avalible]

Eva sighed lightly, pulling her knees up a little. Is Puc still upset about that intrusion last night? It upset Eva to see Puc so helplessly lost in his mind, unable to fight off whatever negative thoughts he has...Puc didn't deserve to be troubled like this...
Eva hesitated for a moment, before wrapping her arms around Puc's arms, pulling him into an awkward hug. "There is not anything to worry about, Puc..." Eva said reassuringly, finding this close pose to Puc more and more awkward, "..You are safe here...with us.."

Puc couldn't resist, Eva was right, as long as he stayed with Eva and her siblings, he would be protected from everything else outside their home.....which was his only action at this time, to hide out with Eva and be ready for her command. "right...." Puc answered bluntly, it was hard to take in, Puc couldn't do anything else.

Eva let go of Puc with a frown and lied back down, assuming that with the still conflicted sounding tone he's speaking with, her words are doing nothing but adding to the headache Puc has. ...Dumb Chive. Had he heckled poor Puc about what he saw last night? ...Could that be why Puc is so bland now?
Eva sighed and rolled onto her side, letting her hand limply hang off from the bed as she groped around for her coat.
She wouldn't stand for this. If Puc is given trouble...she'll make sure that someone's getting trouble...

"I should have expected more from Wizeman's #1 pet." SPiTE gloated as he he walk over to Reala who was still laying on the ground, disappointment in his eyes. He couldn't forget about it, the blue ocean, holding his hand with NiGHTS.....that soft touch, he couldn't give in.....and yet...."SPiTE stomped his foot on Reala's hand, and with fast reflexes, Reala was able to grab SPiTE, and drag him down to his playing field.

Puc sighed, just by seeing Eva's actions, she was upset by his change of attitude. He couldn't act like this, he needed to do what he was given the privilege to become, a servant, and for Eva's sake, it would be his way of protect her, through the loyalty and honor of a true a servant, and only to serve the love he has for Eva.....of course! His last resort! To keep his love, in order to keep Eva. It made him so excited through thought, he quietly giggled.

"Where is that thing..?" Eva thought, growing more peeved by the second, not being able to locate her coat. How odd! Whenever she has to resort to placing her precious coat on the floor, she always folds it to where it is exactally the same amount of inches off the floor each time....but running her hand along the floor at such a distance brought no feeling of her beloved coat at all! Groaning to herself quietly, Eva rolled herself to the edge and looked down...and almost screamed at what she saw.
Her coat...! It's...it's WRINKLED.
Eva's hand shot down in a heartbeat and pulled her coat up and onto her lap in a snap, horror strewn over her face as she observed the damage.
...She's never done something like this before...so...why now..?

Puc's emotions changed quickly, watching Eva frantically looking, "Master...?" Puc called out curiously, but EVa continued her search. What was she looking for? Perhaps it was her coat, a symbol of her authority, and an item Puc liked a lot, the only thing that covered Eva's arms from exposing her soft arms. "Is something wrong??" Puc called seeing Eva in dismay, what made her so shocked?

Eva stared down with empty eyes, looking at the wrinkled coat in her lap, a coat Eva has had with her ever since the first time she ever opened her eyes. "I-It's..." Eva muttered blankly, trying to straighten the now curvy collar, "...My coat is...wrinkled. I've never let this happen before..." Eva couldn't comprehend why she would forget to do something so important...why had she forgotten?? What could have been so important that it took her mind off something she valued so much??
...Eva couldn't remember!

Reala stood up again, he could easily end this fight....but....,"Consider this a draw, I don't have time for you" he then flew off passed the rugged terrain, towards Wizeman's lair, he would have to report it, as usual, and make a request....that he has waited so long for.

Exo opened his eyes and rose off his bed in an instant, feeling more of that odd aura seeping into his chamber. Even if this aura is merely a flicker compared to the mighty wave from before...Exo still despised it. It made his stomach turn in knots, this odd aura...and Exo wouldn't have any second thoughts on betting this aura is, once again, comming from the piglet.

Chive heard Exo's door close and he immediately rushed over and peaked out into the hall, watching as Exo began to drift lazily towards Puc's room. Oh no, no, no! Eva is still in there!!
"..E-Exo!" Chive called polietly, relieved to see Exo turn to look at him over his shoulder. "M-May I speak with you for a moment??" Chive had to protect Puc and Eva right now, even if he didn't feel comfortable with them being in lo-..lo-...close admiration. Until things get better and those two can stop hiding things...Chive would have to play bodyguard himself....to ensure nothing happens to his older sibling...or her lov-...lover...

Puc still wondered why Eva was still in shock to her coat in such a fashion, perhaps it was something of value more then a symbol, a sign of greed perhaps? was something that meant so much to Eva, a well connected bond...Puc's eyes opened wide, he remembered....stumbling back to his room.,...he might have....no....possible....but....Puc bowed his head, "I'm sorry Master, terribly sorry.....I didn't mean to..." He could have accidentally moved her coat without knowing, even if it was an accident, he only hoped that he would be forgiven.

"Sorry?" Eva asked, looking at Puc as he bowed his head. It isn't any fault of Puc's that her coat is in this condition...right? Come to think of it...Eva couldn't even remember if she folded her coat before lying down...but she would never be so inconciderate...but she would hate to place blame on Puc when it hasn't been proved. Eva let her coat slip through her fingers and pulled Puc into a real hug, not caring about the state of her coat right now...that can easily be fixed...
"Thank you for you concideration, Puc.." Eva said quietly, holding Puc to her, "...It means a lot."

Puc was a little puzzled, perhaps Eva didn't think Puc would do such a careless yet, even more so, perhaps that never did happen, maybe it was for a different reason. He embraced the hug, placing his head on her shoulders, he enjoyed being with her.....protecting her.....she was all he had left.

Reala arrived in Wizeman's lair, greeting him with by kneeling one one knee, and bowing to his greatness. "Master Wizeman, I have returned."
"What do you wish to report to me Reala? You seem very eager to tell." Wizeman responded, one of his hands scanning over Reala.
"Master, I have said this countless times, but this time Master, I am ready to fight NiGHTS!"
Wizeman responds, strict tone, "You are not ready Reala...you still lack focus"
"Very well Master, I'll do this on my own, I don't need word, only my strength!!" Reala then disappeared.

"..So what is it that you wanted, Chive?" Exo asked blandly, propping himself up against one of the walls in Chive's quarters. "...Well," Chive began slowly, trying to think of an excuse as to why he had pulled his brother away from his buisness, "I just...have a question. M-more like a theory actually..."
"A theory?" Exo repeated, raisng an eyebrow that isn't there, "...Proceed."
"Well," Chive began, plotting his words carefully, "...if it were possible, that is...what would your opinion be ....on Eva having a friend?"

Eva felt her hug being returned, making her blush a bright pink. Eva didn't really plan on something like this...she just felt as through a quick hug might reassure any missunderstandings....just a quick one. But to be entangled in an actual hug...for Eva, this is definately a first. Gingerly, Eva brought a hand up and rubbed Puc's back, not knowing what she is supposed to do at this point.
Is there a proper procedure for these things? Or is she supposed to just sit there and let the odd feeling in her chest eat at her heart?

Puc closed his eyes, repeating thoughts played in his head....Eva, a nightmaren caught by Puc's sight as someone Puc would be with, protect, and connect a special bond with. Opening his eyes again, he was at the peak of his achievement, Eva was staying in his room, living at Eva's hideaway home, and even with his ultimate goal lost, he found happiness in it all.
"thank you....Eva." Puc whispered to her, smiling.

Eva's cheeks quickly switched gears, changing from their pink shade in favor of a red one. She is being thanked? For what....the hug? Eva wasn't quite sure, but she didn't think that much of it, as she continued to rub Puc's back. Eva didn't have a clue of what she's doing that Puc appriceated, but whatever makes Puc happy, Eva will gladly do.
...But Eva still couldn't help but question...why in the world would she forget someone so wonderfull?
There must be some mistake...she would never want a choice like that...

"...Eva...having a friend?" Exo asked with a light tone, holding back his laugh as he waited for Chive to explain further.
"Sort of..." Chive mumbled, racking his mind for more unincriminating words to use. "..Friend is not a strong enough word for it, but generally, yes." Exo thought to himself for a moment. "Eva having a friend?" Exo repeated with an amused tone, letting a small chuckle escape him, "Pffft, that old hag doesn't have a good enough personallity for such things, Chive. Even if she ever gets one, most likely they will only do it out of pitty for her." Exo laughed lightly and wiped the water from his eye. Like there was any need for friends around here anyway!
"...I see." Chive said neutrally, expecting such a retort from Exo. "...But..staying on the knowledge that this is a mere theory..what if....that friend was her servant?"
"Who, Piglet?" Exo asked, corssing his arms. "Like I said, it would only be out of pitty."

"I love you....Master Eva" Puc blushed a bright red, true feelings exposed, he kissed Eva again, a warm pulse passing through him. As long as they had times to themselves, Puc wouldn't mind staying a servant, as long as he could serve Eva, but then, a familiar knock on the front door echoed through the home. Puc's emotions changed, a mission has been given.

"Again?" Exo mummbled to himself, hearing yet another assumed stranger knocking on their door. Chive got up and flew out of his room, leaving Exo to watch curiously as Chive made his way to the entrance. Opening it with no caution whatsoever, Chive kindly opened the door wide and stepped to the side without viewing the visitor, granting them entrance.
Who was it now?

Eva heard knocking at the door, but she didn't care about who it could be. She didn't want to be around anyone else right now, only Puc. Love....huh? She has heard that word so many times lately. Thinking about it more now, though, Eva never really took the concept seriously, it has always just seemed like a joke to her, something to just laugh about and forget in the next instant...but things weren't like that anymore. Eva knew that word fits perfectly with how she feels, but...for some odd reason..it made her upset.
Saying such a thing...it would made her vulnerable...but it's not like she wanted to ignore anything either, she had no way to.
Eva moved in again and held Puc in a tight hug. She couldn't ignore the it; Eva was affraid. Affraid of a dumb little four letter word..and what it might do.

SPiTE stood at the doorway, breathing heavily, not expecting to be traveling back here again, even though he still hasn't recovered from his fight with Reala. "Orders.....from Wizeman.....I need to speak....with Eva and servant." He didn't want help, but it was Wizeman's orders, and in it all, he would finally defeat Reala.....

Exo huffed and leaned against Chive's door frame. That stranger obviously doesn't have very good listening skills. Sent to find the piglet and Eva? Eva is out on a mission of some sort. Wizeman surely would have told this stranger tha-
"I will get them for you. Please wait a moment." Chive replied calmly, gliding towards Puc's door, and ignoring the surprised look on Exo's face. "Eva?" Chive began polietly, lightly knocking on Puc's door with the back of his hand, "I am affraid your confrence with your servant will have to be cut short. Master has need of you two."

Eva looked towards the door as Chive's voice echoed through it, smiling to herself as she let out a sigh. Chive was going to keep the situation quiet, eh? She would have to thank him for that later...but for now, Master comes first. "I understand; we shall be out momentairily!" Eva responded, playing along with the lie that her stay in here has been breif and nothing but buisness.
Eva didn't really want to yet, but she let go of Puc, giving him a smile as she folded her coat into a neat little square. "Ready to start the day?" she asked cheerfully, getting to her feet. She enjoyed the quiet time that they had been allowed together...but she knew those occasions would be by mere luck at most. Oh well....that just leaves something to look forward to during the day.

Puc didn't want their alone time to end, but when orders are given, the master must be at bay. Puc thought positive on this mission, it was only a break before they would be close again, "Yes Master." Puc answered loyally as he followed her to the front, greeted by the appearance of a familiar servant of Wizeman.

As Eva looked over this Nightmaren sent to brief them of some new information, her eyes popped open a bit. ...That strange Nightmaren from the incident those many nights ago? ...Why would he be sent to her?
"May I help you with something?" Eva asked calmly, signaling Chive to come to her with a finger behind her back. This stranger certainlly wouldn't be any the wiser by seeing her in such a condition, but she wouldn't allow anyone who knew her well enough to take a wild guess.

Seeing the signal, Chive silently moved to his sibling's side. "What do you need?" Chive whispered to her, off-guard to have Eva's coat thrust into his hands. "I need you to fix that." Eva said in a blunt whisper, feeling a little empty having her coat lifted from her hands as Chive silently accepted. Chive looked at the poor state of Eva's coat, and then back to her with a frown, before hurrying back to his quarters, and passed the more than intrigued Exo lurking right outside it.

SPiTE looked at both Eva and Puc with a stern posture, and began to explain the mission, "Under my leadership, Wizeman has sent me here to take you two as my companions. There have been strange changes seen in first class nightmaren Reala that has caught Wizeman's concern. Our mission is to find Reala and capture him, alive. Wizeman has already told me where he is heading, so just follow my lead....and don't get in my way."

Eva and Exo gasped, one shocked, and the other completely startled. General Reala must be...captured?? Surely this must be nothing but a simple misunderstanding! Eva wouldn't agree to go hunt down a higher officer such as Reala on any other occasion....but if Wizeman commanded it, what was there to do?
"..I..I understand.." Eva replied, surprising herself to agree to such words. Exo wanted to retort to this nonsense mission, but he was cut off by a speeding Chive, returning a pressed and polished coat to his sister's care. Chive blinked, looking around at Eva and Exo. ...Why did they seem so shocked?

Puc knew this wasn't right, a capture mission for a first rank nightmaren, and Puc was to follow. This seemed like a trap to him, and a well constructed one at that, but it caught Eva by surprise that they would be going after a well known nightmaren such as Reala, it was confusing to be put though this, but all he can do, is follow Eva and protect her when needed.

"....Shall we be off now?" Eva half asked SPiTE, throwing the coat over herself. She really didn't want to go through with this...just the thought of peforming such an act made her feel utterly out of place...but if Master ordered it...so it must be...
She wondered what could have made such a situation arise...this must be a joke...
