章 66: Stolen Lifeblood

 As Arianna came to stand before them, she smiled and asked if they would like something to eat or drink. While still looking around, Serenity nodded in the positive, then thanked her for the offer. Matt did the same, then listened to some unsolicited marriage advice from Actaeon.

 Serenity's eyes darted back and forth as she took in the variety of colorful plant life surrounding them. A mix of her own knowledge, and that of Iris' filled her mind. Telling her what each flower was, and little details about them.

 When Arianna came back, she smiled at Serenity and asked; "Do you like my garden? It must be surprising for you to see all of this since you've never been here before. Atlas, I mean Matt- hasn't seen this either.. It's my sanctuary."

 "It's wonderful.. This whole place is. Makes me nostalgic, and a little home sick," Serenity replied, not realizing what she had just said.
