~~~(Time: 8:22 PM)~~~

Sally and I are alone and away from everyone else in our room. She's using the massive bath to take a hot soak and get clean. Given that she's a Player now, she can put her armor and weapons in her Inventory, and they'll automatically clean. "The water is perfect... I'd wish you'd come and join me..." I hear her voice from the bathroom, and I'm tempted.

There are things that I need to talk to her about, and now that we're alone, there is no better chance. My clothes are off and in my Inventory as I walk into the bathroom, and she smiles at the sight of me. I do the same, except she has bubbles covering all her special places. "Wow... I don't get to see it often enough..." Her eyes are in the obvious place.

The bathtub is large and can easily fit both of us, and that's something I haven't had since our time in Zenith. I remember that day. We had fun in the bathroom. "There is something I need to talk to you about... Something very important..." She hears my serious tone and straightens slightly as I make my way into the bathtub and across from her.

She plays with my feet using hers, and the magical water and bubbles instantly relax me. Cleaning my dirty body at the same time. "You make it sound like it's bad news..." It is depending on how you look at it. I'll have to do my tier-up quest alone, which means she won't be able to come with me or help me on it. I don't know where I'll be sent or taken to when I start it.

There will be a period of time when we're apart, and that's what I need to talk to her about. I have 3 different tier-up quests that I need to complete. Meaning we're going to be apart for a long time. "Sally... When I start doing my tier-up quests, I have to do them alone... Meaning we're going to be apart for a long time..." I don't know how long specifically.

It all depends on how long I take to complete the tier-up quests and where they are or where they take me. Given my Divine class is what is... I can be sure as shit they'll be challenging. She doesn't like the sound of that and has an uncomfortable look... "Okay... How long will we be apart from each other..." She's getting sadder by the second.

While she's gained confidence and can take care of herself, it seems she doesn't want to be that far from me. "I don't know, Sally, and you'll have your own tier-up quests to do in Avalon once we get there... It could be days, weeks, months... I don't know..." She closes her eyes and takes a steady and calming breath. Thinking about everything I just said.

She slowly opens her eyes, and I see strength, independence, and confidence. "Alright... If that's what's supposed to happen, I'm not going to fight it or be upset by it... It's not like it'll be a permanent change." My heart... Skips... It's fucking hot seeing Sally like this. A confident and powerful woman. One that isn't clingy to me anymore.

Since the first day that I met her, Sally has grown so much, and I'm more than lucky to have her. "There is something that I want to talk about too..." She catches me a little off guard as she talks. "While we're apart, I'm going to look for my father... Alone... I want to find him..." I can understand that, and Sally is more than powerful enough to handle anyone.

There are vile men out there that will see her beauty and try something with her, and now she can kill them all without blinking. It makes me know that I don't have to worry about her safety. "Remember, Sally... Even when we're apart, we can message each other through the system." She smiles and nods her head. She moves across the tub and sits next to me.

She leans her head on my shoulder, and her chest is halfway out of the water. "I don't have to worry about you not wanting me anymore after we're apart, right?" There is a weakness in her voice as she says that, and this is a different type of vulnerability. One that only happens when a girl is afraid of losing the man they love.

I lift my arm out of the water and wrap her into a sideways hug, and kiss the side of her head. "The system lets you see if your partner cheats on you. You know that, right?" She raises her head and looks at me, confused. I open my Player Interface and show her. It shows that we're lovers and that neither of us has cheated. "It's impossible to fool this thing." She stares at it with a smile.

She swings both arms around me and lays multiple kisses on my lips, and straddles me. "This is the best feature ever!!" I know that some would consider it controlling, but it's a feature of the system. Sally can see what I'm up to, and I can see what she's up to. "That puts so much stress to rest!" She remains in my arms. This talk went better than I thought it would.

~~~(POV: Violet Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Royal Airship, Flying above The Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:34 PM)~~~

Marcus has his own room on the Royal Airship, and that means Christian, and I have a giant luxury room all to ourselves. "Can you believe everything that's happened in the last 48 hours?" He starts talking as he's putting his gear into his Inventory, and I haven't really had time to process everything. It's been pretty crazy, but we did what we set out to do.

He plops down into the bed and watches me as my gear disappears into my Inventory. He stares at my bare body, and his smile grows. We both look in our early to mid-twenties now, a I have the body I used to have before I had 3 children. His body is tight and muscular like it was when we were younger. "I forgot what this was like..." I crawl into bed beside him as I whisper.

It's been so long since we had a moment like this. A moment to ourselves. "I've given it some thought, and us having another child is possible, Violet... I just want you to know that I was looking forward to it just being us for a change..." I was being selfish when I asked for another baby. I didn't consider what Christian wanted...

He waits for my response, and I know what I need to say. "I'm sorry, Chris... I shouldn't have made it sound like it was hardly a choice... I was selfish and thought you'd want one just as much as me. I realize now that I was wrong. If you want the rest of our lives to be just us, then that's what I want to." He lifts his head and looks at me. Wondering if I'm serious.

He sees my genuine look and attitude, and his smile grows. It doesn't hurt that he doesn't want another kid. He's right... It's our time, and once Marcus is all on his own, we'll have so much time to ourselves. I'm looking forward to it. "Oh, Thank God!! I didn't know what I'd do if we'd have to raise another one!!" In an instant, I'm laughing, and Christian is laughing with me.
