The group took a while to digest the new information as the silver girl just stood there awkwardly rocking the sleeping baby gently.
"Don't you find her story to be a little unbelievable? How did she manage to survive up to this point? Let alone following me without being noticed? She must be hiding something." Camilla wasn't comfortable with trusting aliens who were obviously lying.
"Call me an idiot but I believe her..." replied Maria in a low voice which made the others snap their necks to look at her.
"Care to explain?" said Camilla, more worried than annoyed.
"She doesn't look like she's acting scared or over friendly, heck I think she's trying to look more confident. Look at her, she's shaking slightly and trying to rock the baby to cover that fact.
"Her eyes reflect guilt and despair that's eating her alive. She's probably trying to convince herself that asking for help was the best option. Plus...." Maria hesitated for a second before continuing,
"I think she's the one that's acted like the mother of the baby... I can't explain it but I just feel it... Please ask her, if the Lord's wife is dead then I'm right."
Maria couldn't tell why but she knew in her heart that the girl has the same look towards the baby she has towards Raven and Maya. It reflected worry, love, and care.
"Uhm," nodding slightly, Raven proceeded to ask her about the matter. Although Raven wasn't so happy about trusting strangers left and right, she had to admit that the woman in front of her wasn't lying.
Her body language, her eyes, her aura, they all indicated that she's feeling quite desperate, yet she's trying to hide it and the fright she's feeling from endangering her master's kid.
Truth be told, someone else would have probably killed them on sight for being aliens in a hostile environment. Well, or r*pe then kill.
At the thought, Raven grimaced slightly as bad memories flooded her head.
Talking with the silver girl in her own tongue made her shake her head slightly as a sad expression appeared on her face. But it only lasted a second as she tried to cover it with a smile before replying to Raven.
Nodding again, Raven started to explain what's she's just said to her.
"She's saying that her Lady was the victim of the monsters that live in the forest. Even though they weren't empowered yet, some were pretty powerful.
"A while ago, the same monster we had just killed, attacked a group of merchants while they were about to enter the town.
"With her Lady being the Captain of the guards at the time, she had joined the rescue team to fend off the monster. However, unlike her husband, the Lord of the town, she wasn't that strong and was only proficient in using the spear.
"And well, you could guess the rest... She died, her baby was the last memory her husband had of her. And since he trusted this maid, he'd assigned her as the baby's nanny."
Smiling weakly, Maria didn't know how the girl felt, but she sympathised with her. She wouldn't want to imagine entrusting her fate, together with her two daughters, Raven and Maria, to some strangers.
She had only trusted Camilla in the first place because Raven had brought her with her. And she trusted her daughter's decisions, most of the time at least, when she's not being sadistic.
Maria smiled weakly at the thought.
*gulp*
She swallowed loud enough for the others to hear as she started walking slowly towards the girl with the baby.
The moment the silver girl realized that she was coming her way, she backed up slightly as a lonly tear escaped her right eye. She hugged the baby tightly almost waking her up.
"Wait, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you!" Maria said quickly said but that only sounded like a threat to the girl. She unconsciously looked at Raven.
Smiling weakly, Raven was sure the girl's mental condition was in a really bad state as she could feel even her aura shake in fear. 'It must've been really hard...'
Shaking her head slightly, Raven asked Camilla for some food as she approached the girl slowly.
Stopping midway between her and the girl, she extended her hand and offered an apple. She had no idea what the people of this planet ate so she tried fruits.
Looking at her hand with a worried expression, the silver girl started to slowly walk away from Raven.
"It's food." Raven said in her own language with a smile as she took one bite from the apple to prove her point. Plus, that way the girl can be sure it's not poison.
*gulp*
This time it was the girl's turn to swallow out loud as she almost started to drool. She hadn't had a bite in a while and the smell of that weird orb the short white girl with crimson-purple hair was eating seemed rather delicious to her little nose.
It's red colour and oval shape made it look like a devils egg, yet she needed food to sustain herself and continue feeding the baby.
Approaching Raven rather slowly, she took the apple and inspected it for a few seconds before starting to munch on it.
In less than five seconds, the apple was no more.
"Here," Raven offered more food. Of course, she took a bite of everything to prove it's edible, at least for them.
The girl didn't hesitate one bit as she finished the food they had provided. Sparing no time, she opened her kimono slightly as she uncovered one of her ample silver breasts, promoting the baby to suck at it in hunger.
Even though she knew it was so wrong, Raven couldn't help but turn beet red at the sight. It all happened so fast that she was so shocked to move her eyes away.
"Hey! Eyes!" Maria ran towards her, almost startling the girl, and covered Raven's eyes.
*sigh*
The girl sighed as she thought for a second that it's all been a trick to make her drop her guard down.
She didn't understand why the crimson-purple haired girl turned red, but she liked her new colour nonetheless. White was way too common. Plus, the pink hue she had now matched with her hair.
Smiling softly, she watched as the other white girl with black hair covered her eyes and looked at her breastfeeding the baby.
The black haired woman tried to say something to her yet she didn't understand a word so she shook her head, with a faint smile.
She watched as the black haired face-palmed and started to talk to the crimson-purple haired girl.
"Err, in our... Err, home... it's rather, err, I'm sorry keep at it I'll go for a second. Call me when you're done." Raven's face was almost glowing red as the girl started worrying she might have gotten sick.
"No, please stay with me..." the silver girl said as she got up hurriedly to catch the leaving Raven.
However, as she was doing that, the kimono's upper half fell down exposing her other breast.
"I can't take this..." Raven was already so tried, low on mana, and completely drained out of her vitality.
The extra push that came from high blood pressure made her lose consciousness, falling right into Maria's open arms.
The girl rushed towards her, making sure the baby in her arms was safe, and tried to check up on her.
The crimson-purple girl had given her food, and she spoke her language. She hadn't treated her with despite, nor did she try to attack her. She couldn't let her die now could she?
Maria avoided making a sound as not to alarm the silver girl.
Shaking her gently made Raven open her eyes slowly. But as soon as she saw the exposed silver melon again, her head fell backwards as blood rushed down her nose this time.
Camilla was rather flabbergasted at the scene in front of her. "Dude she's so into girls... I did not-"
"It's normal though," Maya replied with red cheeks as well. She had big breasts relative to girls her age, but she didn't stand a chance against those silver melons.
'So she likes big, no, huge breasts huh?' she thought as blood threatened spraying out of her ears.
"Raven lived her life as a boy, remember?" was what she actually said out loud. "look at Joey..."
Looking at Joey, Camilla saw him unconscious in Rain's arms.
"Hehe..." Rain laughed as her face twitched forming a rather complex expression.
"...."
