Arc 3: Unknown Discovery - 15
Yor's gaze held a mixture of surprise and disbelief as she looked at Alma Elma. "Alma." She began, her voice sounding confused and baffled. "I'm amazed at how much you've changed. The Alma I knew was always full of life, ready to seize any opportunity for excitement. But now..." Yor's words trailed off as she observed Alma's lazy demeanor, a stark departure from the dynamic personality she had before. "You seem so different now." She concluded.
Nyarla's brow furrowed as she glanced at her sister; a weird expression appeared on her face. "Can you believe it? Just a few minutes ago, she was like her old self, eager to guide Ruby and Weiss into succubi. And now..." Her words trailed off, her gaze shifting to Alma, who is longed nearby, with an air of indifference. "Now she's like this." She finished, her tone laced with uncertainty as she struggled to comprehend the sudden transformation. "What's your game, Alma?" She questions aloud, a hint of suspicion.
Alma's answer was a nonchalant shrug accompanied by a playful grin. "My dear Nyarla, there is no game to be played." Her tone is filled with laziness. "I simply go with the flow, embracing whatever mood strikes me at the moment." With a lazy stretch, she continues. "Life is too short to be tied down by expectations, don't you think?" Her words hint at mischief, leaving everyone to wonder how much of her transformation is genuine and how much is simply due to her unpredictable nature.
Shiki nodded calmly at Alma, her expression showing she understood. "Yes." She said softly, her voice gentle. "Alma's view makes sense, embracing the slow and peaceful of life."
"Why do they have to talk in such a weird way?" Ruby whispered to Weiss, who sat quietly sipping from her teacup of warm honey water. "Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if they just talk normally?" Her voice had a hint of confusion, matching the atmosphere of Nyarla, Yor, Shiki, and Alma.
"Who knows," Weiss whispered back, staring at everyone with a hint of skepticism. "Perhaps they're trying to impress us with their... unique method of talking." She suggested dryly, her eyes drifting to me. "What do you think, Jin? Any insight as to why they've suddenly taken to speaking like this? I mean, Nyarla never seemed to have trouble communicating without resorting to this when she spoke to us."
