250 Aaaa! Oooo! Raya?!

    "Hey you." The Paru smiled as he walked closer to the open cell that was the female Granilith''s domain. "Uwo!" She exclaimed, getting on her feet right away, and jumping into his arms. "Hahaha! Did you miss me? I missed you too!" Cero chuckled, holding her tightly. Lith pulled back and took his wrist into her hand. "Sure, I''ll follow you." She led him into the cell(Her room) and got on the soft mattress that lay on the ground.

    Seated on her knees, Lith slapped her thighs a couple of times with an excited expression on her face. "What is it...?"

    She slapped her thighs a couple more times, which caused the Paru to tilt his head. "Do you want me to lay on your thighs? No... You''re making a game out of this, huh?" The Paru started looking around the cell, and it didn''t take long for him to notice. He walked towards the other side of the cell, and in its corner lay,

    "You did this?" Cero asked, pointing. The silent and excited Lith let her head and upper body sway from right to left

    "Ha... That''s amazing." The Paru whispered. "We were happy about the other things you learned, but this..." He turned back towards her, his lips pressed together forming a slight smile. "Liz would be really happy to see it."

    "Uwo!"

    In the corner of her room were the boots she had been given, placed one next to the other. Behind the boots stood a pile of neatly folded clothes. At the bottom of the pile was the jacket, on top of it, the pants, and, above them, rested the bra.

    "Just like she taught you, huh?" The Paru chuckled as he walked closer to her and took a seat on the mattress right in front of her. "You''re learning a lot..." He whispered as he lay a hand on her head. "Wonder when it is you''ll learn to talk."

    "Nahaha!" Lith giggled as he patted her head. To her surprise, the Paru pulled his arm back rather quickly. It moved to his throat. "Can you say ''Aaaaa''?"

    Lith tilted her head sideways.

    "Aaaaa." He repeated, raising his chin and pointing at his throat. "No, no. This isn''t a competition of who goes higher." The Paru chuckled as he lowered himself while keeping his chin raised. Lith lowered her head and tilted her head questionatively. "Aaaaa. Can you do it? Aaaaa."

    She stared for a moment, before raising her chin, and pointing at her throat. "Yes! Go for it. Aaaa."

    Lith cleared her throat and took a deep breath in.

    "Uwa!"

    "..."

    The Paru''s hand slowly moved down her hair and towards her cheek, caressing her. Lith pushed against his hand with her cheek, and once her lips were in front of his thumb. "Ouch." He whispered as she gave his thumb a bite. As if using her mouth to keep his hand in place, she kept biting down on it softly until her hands took hold of his wrist. Her left hand slowly moved towards her chest, taking hold of the pendant dangling down from her neck.

    "What about it?"

    Lith stared at it for a bit, before pointing at her ear. "An earring? Do you want one?" Lith scratched her nose, and pointed at the pile of clothes. "Liz?"

    "Uwa."

    "... What about her?"

    Lith pressed her lips together, putting more of her weight on her elbows, digging into his chest. "Liz... Liz... I don''t really get it."

    The female Granilith tilted her head. "Oh..." Cero understood. "You took Liz away. Roka and Rea too..."

    "Uwa."

    "So this is about Raya?"

    "Uwo!"

    The Paru frowned for a moment, unsure what to say.

    "I... Uh..."

    In response to his obvious embarrassment, Lith rested her cheek against her right hand while staring at him.

    "..."

    Her eyebrows moved up and down repeatedly.
