“Save it for tomorrow.
I’ve given you horrible news and a lot to dwell on. You’ll be more of help once you’re relaxed.”
Maeve had went over to peck his cheek.
“Will you be alright?”
“I wouldn’t want you to worry when you see Celeste. . You can’t touch her or else things will go off balanced.
. . .
You rest here and I’ll go check on Merlin before you come over. I left him alone with so much to deal with.”
Not as long as she could before her spike had cracked. Her magic was weak and abilities were uncertain.
Maeve was lucky that she was able to freeze time for Celeste.
“I don’t have a choice anymore, Genji. .”
A soft sigh.
“So—You’re now going to avoid me by resting on the sofa? Did I disappoint you so much for choosing my actions the way I did?
I don’t need your approval for everything.”
“I’m the strongest in this family—This isn’t going to do shit.”
Maeve stubbornly shoved him back as she fixed her skirt.
“I have the ability to do this so allow me to do this. I may not show actual care or affection, but I show it through my strength.
If it >>
" Babe. Remember the last time you did this with Kashi.
You were in a frail state when you were treating his condition. "
Genji did I want her wife to exerts so much energy that it would put her life on a line as well.

Shit.
Maeve’s gentle comfort efforts had became stiff and hesitant. How does he figure things out so quickly.
“I’ll find the strength to keep going—And keep her alive as long as it takes.”
A simple yet dangerous answer.
Maeve was silent.
Glancing at the new hole in her wall, she forgot how strong he was compared to her—Not THAT strong but, strong.
“A lot of loss. . Yes.
Genji, but we must keep some hope. You’ve lost your mother, sister. . —Almost lost Kashi. He’s fine and well >>

Her back practically slammed against the wall, her arms aching from his grip. She didn’t want to show fear—Hardly, she did.
But his reaction. . It was different than the other times. This wasn’t someone she knew well.
“Genji—“
Maeve >>
—to the point of hurting her.
" I-I know she will still be weak. . . .b-but see will still be awake. . .s-she doesn't have to die. . . . "

Would he know if she lied?
He couldn’t handle any of this sort of stress or news. Someone like him is rather soft and emotional.
“She was going to die, Genji. . She had her egg. . And doing so, the spirit in her went with it—Leaving her weak.”
“Genji. . Relax, everything is fine for now.”
Maeve didn’t want to worry him. There was something in her eyes that said otherwise from what she’d said.

Storming into the house. The frog looked extremely worried and panicked. The color of his skin look a little bit pale as he was looking for his wife.
" Maeve! Maeve!!? Where are you?!! "
His daughter. . . . . He can barely feel her presence.
“Don’t strain yourself.
This is only temporary. Until that egg of yours hatches, we’ll have some answers.
But. . Be careful—That curse looks like it went to your child here. It’ll be the same case as Celeste.”
Merlin voice was getting really weak. Almost all his energy was depleted with the recent stunt he pulled.
" Miss. . . . .Maeve~ "
Only if she could talk to the spirit one last time before the transfer. . . . Only then he could find some clues to revive Celeste.

Maeve cursed to herself until finding the ability to teleport past the door.
She’s really out of touch with her power.
Running to the room, she was met with the scene to which she’d predicted.
“Sorry, Merlin—I’m saving Celeste first.”
She figured that he’d >>
And just like that, the fox softly faints right next to his egg.
Any more time and he would have died on side with his partner.
" Ce. . . . .Cele~ "

An urgent knock was at their door. It seems that Maeve had seen this coming and did her best to teleport—But, she’s gotten’ truly bad at it.
“LETMEIN—“
Absolutely no reason for her to be upset.
Maeve had been trying to teach their son how to properly form bubbles. She’d created her own bubbles out of pure psychic energy, purple and pink reflective bubbles.
Stepping out of his daughter's house, the frog prepare to make his journey back home to his lovely wife and son.
He hopes nothing happened during his time out that his wife would be upset of him.
@RelicOfNew
“Oh—Yes.
I hope that you safely reach it there. Teleporting has been difficult so. .”
Maeve took a few steps back, holding out her hands and soon—Genji was gone in a flash of light.
Hopefully not smacking down hard a few miles from his destination.
