Blue remembered Chaos's scent, it was the scent of coffee and when she caught his scent, she immediately jumped off the bed and ran toward the source of it.

She had been living in this manor for more than two months now, so it was natural for her to already know every corner of this place. She had a really good memory for a child her age, too…

The coffee scent that belonged to Chaos led her toward the west part of this manor. She ran past a few guards, who were familiar with her.

Some of them asked the little girl where she was running off to, but she didn't reply to them because her focus was on finding Chaos before he left again.

She stopped running when she ran past a door that led to one of the dozens of rooms in this manor. She sniffed the air and walked back until she was standing right in front of a wooden door in the color of dark brown, behind from which she smelled his scent.

Without knocking, Blue pushed open that door and walked inside.

”Chaos?” she called him. ”Are you here?” She turned on all the lights to illuminate the entire room, before she walked in further.

It was another room that was filled with many papers.

Somehow, Blue was curious as to why they needed to keep all these papers rather than to throw them away, especially when they stacked them away on shelves, as if those old papers with the ink on them almost faded away, were really important.

”Chaos?” She called him again and found him in the middle of the room, holding a grey book in his hand. He closed the book that he was reading as soon as his eyes found her.

”What are you doing here?” His blue eyes stared into her hazel ones.

This room smelled like damp paper and a little bit sour. Her nose scrunched in disgust. Blue wanted to go out of this place immediately, but she didn't do it, because she found Chaos here.

”I smelled your scent,” Blue said, she walked closer to Chaos and looked straight into his blue eyes, the same way she stared at him during their first meeting, without any fear or whatsoever. ”So, I came here.”

Chaos furrowed his brows. ”You smelled my scent?” he repeated the statement, making sure he heard right. ”How can you smell my scent?”

Blue tilted her head, not sure of the question that Chaos asked her. ”I smelled you. Your scent, I sniffed the air, I breathed and I smelled your scent,” she tried to explain, but when Chaos didn't seem to understand her words, she tried her harder.

On the other hand, Chaos looked confused, not because he didn't understand what this little girl tried to tell him, but because no one should be able to smell him. He wasn't supposed to have any scent.

”How do I smell?” Chaos cut off her words when she tried in various ways to explain to him. She was quite a chatterbox…

”Like coffee,” she answered without hesitation.

”What are you doing when you smell my scent?”

Blue blinked her eyes, confused why she was asked this question, yet she answered him anyway. ”I was about to sleep and I almost fell asleep when I smelled your scent.”
