Letting out a faint curse under her breath, the vampiress finally pulled up a hand mirror and quickly scooched back into bed with Dahlia, her slightly cool body once again huddling close to the girl. Honestly, it was hard to even tell if she was trying to comfort and give support to Dahlia or if Valentina was just really cold. The low body temperature was a thing that was repeatedly standing out to Dahlia and it definitely was something she wanted to ask about but, well, she had more pressing things to worry about.
"Right. Yup. Just your arms. Nothing else to worry about."
"Val…"
First of all, I have to apologise for my poor descriptions. I have a very specific idea in my head but it's hard as heck to actually write down. Hopefully what I described, even if not actually making you picture what I imagine, at least lets your imagination do something interesting.
Additionally, with these first visual changes to Dahlia due to her bloodline, I'm curious what type of primordial you think she will be as it further purifies~
Those are fun things we'll explore in the future, but for now I didn't lie in what Valentina said and, starting next chapter, the group will be leaving the castle and it will officially start the Calanthian arc (just 6 chapters behind the schedule I originally planned, woops).
And as always, I hope you're having a wonderful day!
