It was quite some time later than Jovis and Aria went downstairs hand in hand, having reaffirmed their relationship much to their mutual happiness!
Tygr brightened when he saw the two of them, having been fed three bath tub sized bowls of dog food by now. However, when he noticed the joined hands of Jovis and Aria and the delicate blush of joy on their cheeks and the abashed smiles on their swollen lips, Tygr could barely restrain himself from flipping the table and shouting out his frustration! Never before in his life had he ever felt so frustrated! Why was everyone else around him being so lovey dovey all of a sudden?! Was this, too, a side effect of the curse placed by Fenice on Solis, which had spread to Noir as well, and had somehow become contagious? Or, perhaps, could it be the side effect of the horrendous fumes of the vegetable stew made by Aria in the morning that had somehow developed this weird compulsion for the couples to be extra sticky with each other?!
