Chapter 46 - 43: The Twins
Ellen let out a deep sigh as she sprawled across one of the many lounge couches, her long body sinking into the soft cushions. Her shark tail hung off the side, lazily brushing against the floor as she let herself unwind. The exhaustion from the past few hours of cleaning threatened to pull her into sleep, her mind drifting in and out of consciousness.
The rhythmic sound of mechanical footsteps approaching pulled her back to reality. Without lifting her head, she cracked open one eye to see Von Lycaon standing before her. He gave a slight bow.
"Apologies for disturbing your rest, but the twins have returned from their mission and are waiting for you in the training room," he informed her with his usual composed tone.
Ellen let out a small groan, stretching her limbs before sitting up. "Alright, alright... I'll go see them."
Lycaon nodded but did not leave just yet. "Before you do, I have something for you. A uniform, tailored to your current needs. Rina and Corin designed it specifically for you, so be sure to thank them when you get the chance."
Ellen raised a brow. "A uniform?"
"Yes. The twins are not particularly comfortable around strangers, and seeing you in our uniform will help ease them. It will let them know you are one of us and not an outsider."
Ellen sighed, running a hand through her hair before waving him off. "Fine, fine. Where is it?"
"In your room. You should find it suitable."
