She caught at least three of the little bugs in her jar when Zee drew closer. Deathbelle smiled brightly as she rushed to catch her first firefly and Luce invited her with them cordially. Her sister hadn’t been excited about her handmaid following along behind them, but had acquiesced before Belle could offer a counter argument. She enjoyed Zee’s presence, and who didn’t want a foot rub on command?

Deathbelle stretched her limbs, her bright lilac gaze glittered in the moonlight as she searched for her next catch. She enjoyed the easy quiet that passed between them as they focused on the festival’s activity. ”Oh!” The Empress exclaimed suddenly, her eyes shifting to her abdomen. Even through her thickening fur she could see the movement now. ”They’re excited about the fireflies too.” The Klein royal felt like she was a pup again herself. Her world was innocent for the night.

Again Belle aimed to grasp hold of a few bugs as the short-eared owl ushered them to her gourd.
