"It will be thanks enough if you go on your way and do not cause us anymore trouble," Garin replied, with a smile that showed off his teeth.

"I shall let Aquaria make that decision, Garin," Sanvi said curtly. It was strange for her to use their names rather than titles.
Aquaria heard the voices again and opened her eyes. She stared weakly upwards at Garin with blurred, double vision. Her body hurt all over.

"You make it should let you have no free will of your own," Garin replied.

"Well, if' I'm not wanted by her, then I'll go," Sanvi said simply.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin bit off his reply. "I'm going to take her to lie down somewhere," he said and walked towards the town again.

"Well, I'm staying with her," Sanvi said stubbornly. She walked casually behing Garin and Aquaria, looking around her surroundings in boredom.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin just ignored her for now. He quickly found a hotel and rented a room. He took Aquaria to it and laid her down on the bed.

Sanvi followed Garin up to the room, and stood awkwardly by the door as he laid down Aquaria. She watched how he held her, and how tenderly he looked at her. But she knew better than to trust him yet. She had seen his other side, and watched him warily, lest he try to attack her.
Aquaria felt Garin's arms let go of her, and she felt the bed catch her softly. She whimpered a little as she tried weakly to grab for Garin again. She needed him so much, especially right now.

garin chuckled a little and sat down next to her. He gently petted her hair.

Aquaria reached up and grabbed Garin's arm, pulling it closer to her in a weak hold. She whimpered again, but slept on.
Sanvi saw Aquaria's motions and walked quickly over to her side. She knelt humbly by the bed and put her hands on Aquaria's arm. Sanvi spoke quietly into Aquaria's ear in a language familiar only to her. She told Aquaria that everything was going to be fine, that Garin was there, holding her, and that the angel had succeeded in her task of creating a body for Sanvi.

Garin watched Sanvi warily and careuflly put his arm around Aquaria protectively.

Sanvi ignored Garin and continued speaking to Aquaria. She kept up the reassurances, and started telling Aquaria how much Garin loved her, how happy she should be, and how grateful Sanvi was to both of them.
Aquaria heard an unfamiliar voice speaking in an unfamiliar language to her. She wished she could understand, but the words soothed her anyway. She felt Garin put his arm around her and whimpered again, this time in pleasure.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"You're okay," garin murmured to Aquaria.  

[marixe alcyone]

Aquaria shook her head a little bit and then blinked her eyes open. She could tell that she was in an unfamiliar room, but couldn't tell anything else.
"Host-sama!" Sanvi whispered. "Aquaria, you're awake." The demon sat back on her heels. "Don't ask her immediately, vampire. It will just stress her out," Sanvi added, looking directly at Garin with piercing eyes.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"As self-centered as you are acting, I was going to ask if she was feeling okay," Garin replied, haughtily. Then he looked down to Aquaria, and asked her softly. "Are you feeling okay?"
