~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae\'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:15 AM)~~~

My eyes easily open, and I stare at the ceiling. Sun is shining into the bedroom, causing the heat to rise. Leaning up proves to be a little difficult, given Sally is on me. But I gently slide her off and turn to sit on the edge of the bed.

Today, we\'re moving deeper into Armezix. There are so many places to see and people to meet. I\'ll have to thank Jaeemara and Pazemad again. My movement on the edge of the bed doesn\'t go unnoticed, and Sally is starting to wake up too.

"What time is it?"

My HUD says it\'s a little past 7:15 in the morning. This is one of the mornings we\'ve woken up late for a change.

"It\'s almost 7:20... You could\'ve checked your HUD instead of asking me, you know."

She cracks a smile as her eyes are hardly open. After a couple of seconds, I stand up and equip my gear. I can smell food being cooked downstairs, and I\'m starving. The last decent meal we had was... Geez, I can\'t even remember.

I close the door behind me and make my way to the table where we\'ll all eat. I see Jaeemara in the kitchen cooking pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, and sausages. Pazemad is at the table, and just from a glance, it looks like he didn\'t sleep a minute last night.

"Morning, everyone. Sally will get out of bed soon."

She won\'t be that far behind, but she might take a quick shower since she has access to one. I take a seat at the table, and Pazemads eyes bore into me. It\'s the look you get from a worried parent, and I look at the two half-asleep little Dark Elves at the table.

And as I do, the table moves with a thud. I look back at Pazemad, and I see the protective look my Father had whenever it came to Hailey and any boy she was with. I understand what\'s happening now.

Must\'ve been an unpleasant conversation last night after they went to bed.

"Don\'t mind him. He\'s had a rough night."

Jaeemara brings a mess of food to the table and gives Pazemad a look. Causing him to straighten out. The aroma of the food makes its way to Leela and Laura, and their eyes try to open.

"Thanks, Mommy..."

"Thanks, Mama..."

Both the little ones give their thanks to their Mother, and I smile. I remember doing that all the time when I was a kid. Mom would put food on the table, and we\'d all give her our thanks. The two little girls seem to notice me now, and wide smiles appear on their faces.

Pazemad sees this, and I watch as he grinds his teeth. If he ground them any harder, sparks would fly.

"Angel Zern... Do you have any ideas about what time you wish to leave..."

I can respect a worried and caring Father. Which is why I\'m not going to do anything to upset the man. Not that I would.

"Probably after everyone\'s had breakfast and awake. Sally and I don\'t really have any plans. But I\'ve been thinking that I should repay you guys for all the help you\'ve given us. If you need anything, let me know."

The moment I stop talking, both Jaeemara and Pazemad share a look. And I can tell they\'ll be cashing in on that. I hope everything is alright, but I won\'t bring it up in front of their Daughters.

After a few minutes of casual eating, Sally makes her way toward the table, and I can see from her dry hair she\'s decided to skip the shower. I bet it\'s from the amazing smell coming from the food on the table.

She sits down next to me and starts to fill her plate, and inhales the food faster than anyone at the table. Jaeemara looks at us with a smile and wears our happy expressions with pride. Her food is amazing.

"We can talk before we leave. I can see there is a discussion that\'s needed."

That\'s all I say in the presence of the two little kids.

After about 25 minutes, the kids leave the table and head toward their bedrooms, and leave the adults at the table.

Pazemad lets out a long sigh, and he seems to be in deep thought.

"I\'m sorry that we can\'t help you without needing something in return... Believe me, if we could. We\'d like that very much... But, life isn\'t that simple..."

That\'s what someone says when a large problem is present in their lives. It\'s a good thing that we\'ve met them. Even if they didn\'t help us, I still might\'ve given how kind they both are.

Sally leans back in her chair now that most of her food is gone, and she takes a drink of milk. Washing down the food and looking satisfied. It\'s one way to ease the tension that\'s soon to come, and I can see them appreciate it.

"Tell me what you need help with and if it\'s something we can handle. You\'ve got it."

There is a look of relief on the married couple, and I\'m eager to learn what we\'ll be helping with.

"You see... Jaeemara here is from a wealthy and noble family... And they don\'t approve of us... We need your help dealing with Jaeemaras Father and the plans he has. He won\'t listen to us, but he might listen to someone as important as you."

That\'s definitely interesting. It\'s not what I\'d call a violent or dangerous situation. It has its own uniqueness to it.

I knew just from looking at Jaeemara that she is probably nobility, and that\'s not an insult. She has the looks and air about her, but she lacks the terrible personality that comes with nobles.

"That doesn\'t seem too difficult. We\'ll help, but it feels weird. Dealing with something simple for a change."

Sally couldn\'t have explained the feeling better. We\'ve been doing complicated things since we met, and this is the first one that\'s actually simple. I don\'t want to jinx it, but that\'s what it feels like.

"I take it you two have had quite a number of adventures from a statement like that."

Jaeemara smiles as she talks, and it gives certain positive energy to the room.

"Well, I killed a Fallen God less than 72 hours ago."

They both laugh, thinking it\'s a joke, but after a couple of seconds, they see that I\'m not joking. And both of them swallow their building saliva.

"Jaeemara will be taking us to her Father, and after we\'re done dealing with your situation, you can take us deeper into Armezix."

That should be enough talking plans for the morning.

~~~(POV: Pazemad)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:41 AM)~~~

Killed a Fallen God... Thinking about it now, getting Angel Zern\'s help regarding our situation is overkill. But if there is one person that can get Jaeemaras Father off our back, it\'s him. I just wish it didn\'t feel like we\'re cheating in some way.

It\'s like taking out a magical sword that kills everything it\'s ever been used against versus someone completely naked and never used a weapon before.

That\'s what it feels like.

"Alright, we\'ll be heading out in a few minutes. We\'ll leave you two alone to talk. Sally and I are going to finish the leftovers for breakfast. It\'s a waste to let that much food just sit there."

Angel Zern and Saliandra leave Jaeemara and me alone to talk, and she turns her attention to me with a smile.

"Don\'t worry. I feel the same way."

Looks like we\'re thinking the same way with this.

"But look on the bright side after we\'re done. No one is going to think about separating us again."

She\'s not wrong... She\'s hardly ever wrong.
