Svarik smiled at her, glad to see that she didn't lose taste in food. He took another plate and divided the food that Erdel brought in two.

(OOC: Yes, faster than the one I ordered from alza! Friday suits me, could you also show me how to draw in Illustartor then?)

Xia first sniffed the food carefully, as if to check if it didn't have leftover souls, by chance, and then she ate, shyly. Her eyes were tearing up a little, when she recognized in herself that yes, she indeed still liked it. After they finished meal, she took her pot with a pear seed they planted yesterday, cradling it lightly listening to it.
"*Xia**having**many**plant**babies*. *Yes*." she told to Svarik, as that part of her decision did not change after long talk with Tide, but something else seemed to have. " *But**Xia**also**want**job*. **Xia**earn**money**Xia**pay**food**Xia**eating*. *Xia* *give**also* *money**poor* *people**hungry.*unhappy**people**sad**people. *charity*." She said shyly - Tide had probably explained her in detail as well as he could how exchange of services work, and she seemed to decide that having a job and money of her own would validate her eating, as she would not be taking things for free, stealing, but earn them on way that was fair and right, and she also wanted to have money, so she could have chance to treat people around her and help less fortunate, seeing that as returning what she was taking from the world. It didn't seem she was quite at peace with it yet, but that she did desire to try the system to see if it will work for her and feels better than just taking things without giving anything back.


( OOC: Yes, Friday works better for me, too, since I won't have classes on Friday, hopefully, so I can show you around illustrator and teach you how it works, no problem <33333
And you ordered one from Alza? Which one? None the less, I am so very happy for you dear, hope you found something you really like!

Svarik wondered about the possibilities of employment for a fox demon for a moment, but then he smiled a bit. "But you already have a job," he said. "You are my bodyguard... guardian. I just did not pay you yet, but I will amend that." He took the pouch with money, and gave herca few coin. "This is your pay so far. I can give it to you weakly, alright?"

Xia was hesitant, at first, but Erdel explained her he is king's body guard too and they share profesosion, she beamed.
" *Xia**need** bag. * " She concluded then proudly." Xia *buy** money*bag**then**Xia*buy*cookies**for **Svarik. *Deal?*"

"Alright," Svarik smiled fondly. "We will go to the fourth city again today, we can stop at the market and you can get what you would like."

Little demon shyly agreed, and she gave coins to Svarik for now, so that he can carry them for her until she gets her own money bag in 4th city.

"I will keep them safe for you until then," Svarik nodded, and finished the breakfast, leaving something to Melody when she wakes as well.

" What shall we do now, sir? " Erdel asked him then, and allowed himself freedom to inquire gently and amiably. " How do you feel? I know yesterday was a lot of stress for all of us... I am sorry I worried you as well. Is there anything I can do to make up for it? "

"I must admit I'm still a bit worried for you," Svarik said. "You were getting corrupted... I know you should be doing something pleasant and relaxing to prevent that, but I don't know what that should be in your case. I suspect you don't know either, right? We should really find that out..."

" Umhh... I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing... " Erdel said, seeming shier now with king's suggestion, but also he couldn't hide some worry. " I feel little sick.. and guilty. " he admitted. " Cernunnos has given us that recipe for a gift... And as soon as we have given it away further, in good will, it was crafted into a weapon. I understand, now, why he doesn't share his knowledge more freely, and prefers to make mild dozes of it. This one was so strong... And I don't know what that twisted mixture variant did to me... But it was awful. Not, certainly, most painful thing I've been through, but it was unnatural, on some deep level. I feel... very unsettled, when I look back at it. Nobody should drink that awful thing again. I honestly think Senecio should apologize to Garnet as well. He stole from her, and he twisted her failed experiment into something foul.... I am still very angry with him. " vampire whispered, and he clenched his hands, as they trembled a little powerlessly, coldly - he was kind, but he did not let go of what happened, the terrible emotions being still fresh in his memory.

"You can have a word with him alone, if you wish," Svarik said. "But you asked if there is something you can do to make up for worrying me. I would say there is - finding something pleasant and relaxing that you would enjoy."

" The only pleasant thing I can think of right now is to go and wake him up. It would give me immense pleasure, for him to be all worried, for change. He is not quite worrying much while sleeping sleep dreams, in my opinion... But I fear I can't do that, since we promised Tide we won't. " Erdel smiled a little faintly, with some troubled shade in his expression. " But, seriously, sire, I shall be alright. I really wished I could just do something about this anger... But I am not sure if I can. Currently, I am just trying to enjoy the fact that you're, at least, untouched by yesterday's event... " creature tried to smile more broadly, but couldn't. " This weakness, this anger.... It will pass on its own, I hope... "

"But I still think that you need a hobby," Svarik said. "You don't play any instrument, you don't eat... there has to be something you could do to just relax. When we are the market today, we could look for some inspiration there."

" Sure, sire, whatever you desire... " Erdel nodded slowly, though he didn't seem to be thrilled about it, by his sour face it seeming he did not quite look forward to it. " I would honestly rather just went straight to seek for Jake, but, sure... If we need to make a stop before it to go shopping, we will. "

"After we go to see Jake," Svarik amended. "And we don't have to, if you don't want it."

" I am just.... I don't want to spend my precious time gushing over yet another obligation. " Creature explained quietly." I want to do things that matter. I want to make sure Tide does not end up tricked in bad relationship. I want to visit Jake and see how is he doing. I want Death to live. I want to make sure the necklace you brought me gets safely to Malachite, to cheer him up, hopefully. I don't want... to be force into some art class. " He smiled faintly as he admitted." I have had enough of forced art class we when I was a kod in Orphanage, to try to developed some talents to get me adopted. It did not work then. I do not want it now, either."

"If you see it like this, then forget it. I just... don't understand what you need, I guess... When I am sad or feel like it's too much, I have my music. I can't imagine what I would do without it. And it seems to me that you don't have anything like that and it just... I think it bothers me... What would you do if you had free time, and no obligations?"

" Before, when I'd have free time, I'd go take care of White's pond, and look after his fairies... But I don't want that anymore. He was.... inconsiderate to me, to say it most politely. I am angry with him. Very... angry. " creature whispered quietly, and then it smiled slowly, shyly, with a light trace of appreciation in its tired pained expression. " But, now... If I had time... I'd probably use it to see if I can fetch you some nice tea or sweet treat that you like. You have been so very good to me, and you think so highly of me, and always consider my happiness... I guess that when you are demon, you can't help but desire to give back, what you are given. It comforts me in my melancholy, to know I have such a kind king... I don't know how I'd deal with all this, if you weren't a man you are. "

Through the troubled expression, a little beam of light graced vampires eyes, at king's warmth.
" That is what I am talking about... You are just so considerate. I know you would never do something ill to me. I know I can trust you, to take my happiness into consideration. I know that when I say something, my words matter to you. I can not say I am a very happy person right now... lot has been going on in my life lately. But it is a privilege to serve you, still, sir. I had seen you struggle so much for the past few months, sir. Nothing is quite like a balm to my weary soul, than seeing you getting better, little by little. It's privilege to help, even so slightly, even if all I have to give you is my company... "

"So... my company is enough to you, as well?" Svarik asked. "I have been trying to figure out something more for all the time..."

" Hmm... I am sorry for making this difficult for you. I guess I am just a people person. " Erdel blushed a little. " I guess you are right, sire... I don't really know what I need, either. Everything had been happening so fast. Lot of bonds I have thrived on and lived for have been broken, and left me empty in my heart. " he admitted quietly, looking down on the ground, as if with some shame. " I guess I just... Need focus... Need someone to look after... Now that I no longer have anyone to return home to. My wife and child.. has left me. Do you not know, how much it hurts? I have no family, anew. I am no better of, than when I turned 16, and then at least I had the drinks to numb my sorrows with." he whispered hoarsely. " How could I just... draw pictures or collect butterflies or whatnot, against such terrible loss? All I have left, is to strive to return the debt I have to people that did not kill me when they should had. To give back to them, for kindness they gave me, their enemy. I need to do something that is right, and that is only good thing I am certain to be doing. I need no empty hobby. Nothing else could possibly make this easier. "

"I'm sorry for pressing you," Svarik sighed. "I wish I could show your family the wonderful person I see when I look at you..."

" No. It served me right. I deserved such a thing. I was following orders, true... But I understood the ambiguity, of being ordered to overthrown the government, and what shame can fall upon you for that. In my whole life, there was only that one thing I was good at... Being a soldier. I was very good at it, sir. I prided myself in following all orders without a skipped heartbeat. That is what empire aspired to find, loyal, unquestionable soldiers. I found I am very good at it. I would have done anything, for the army that has given me purpose, and general that has given me second chance at life when I fell into illness. " he whispered quietly. " I know, reasonably, that justice caught up to me... But it does not feel like justice, when I was tricked, too. I was led to believe I had to do terrible things, because it was sacrifice my God desired. Killing General Irnet, slaying the council, trying to kill you, and oh, so much more... I was told my God wanted it. Who would ever dare go against desire of his beloved God? " vampire opened up to king vulnerably. " I know I deserved, this, what happened to me... Despite I still feel wronged in it, too... But I disagree with you, sir. I am no good person, and my wife was smart enough to get away from me. By all accounts, I am sure that I, to be truthful, came out of the system wrong... " his lip trembled, as he added. " Fact that someone as pure and gentle as you or as amazing as ser Falcon finds my company pleasant is a neverending surprise to me..."

"It may have a simple explanation that you company indeed is pleasant," Svarik told him. "Maybe once you will be able to put the past behind, but I won't tell you to try it doing now. I know it's not that easy..."
