46 Chapter 46: Morning In The Hotel (1/2)

The sun slowly started rising over the Harrison bathing Kyoto in its splendor. Within a certain hotel room, a grayish white-haired man slowly opened his eyes after a night of peaceful sleep.

His eyes shined with a subtle radiance matching his sky blue eyes. The man was Lambert and right at that moment, he had a strange expression on his face, a mixture of humor and helplessness as he swept his gaze from his left to his right arm.

Tosca, the little girl, was clinging to his left arm like a hug pillow, eyes shut tight sleeping, she had a faint smile while enjoying what Lambert could only think of as a blissful dream.

Aura was almost hallway on top of him, her head lying on the left side of his chest, she was muttering some words while wearing a lewd sile and Lambert was too afraid to try and listen to her words, he might just hear something that will give him goosebumps and a lot of sleepless nights.

Although Lambert was somewhat helpless about his current situation, he still felt it was funny, especially how Tosca clung to his left arm, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart as he stared at the child clinging to him. His emotions might have faded over time and he might have become somewhat distant, they still existed clinging to the last vestiges of what was his broken humanity, screaming at him as to let him know that they were still there even after all these years, they were still with him and he had not yet lost the last pieces of what was Alex Wolf, what made him and what defined who he was. Memories bring experience but emotions make the man.

After some time past, there was finally some movement to his right as Aura slowly woke up, her blurry eyes stared at him as she gave him a sweet smile and hugging him tightly.

”Morning, Master”

She spoke in a soft satiny voice as she laid her head back down on his chest listening to his heartbeat that thundered with might, sounding more like eardrums than a heartbeat yet the sound never left his body.

Lambert wiggled his right arm free from under Aura and place it on her head, giving her a gentle petting.

”Morning, child”

His greeting somewhat soured her mood a bit but she quickly let it go, as she knew in Lambert's heart she was nothing more than a child he had found and raised, no matter how she acted and tried to seduce him it would never change, but that didn't mean she would ever give up.

The two waited like that, Aura using Lambert's chest as a pillow and him petting her head, for a while as they didn't want to disturb Tosca's sleep, it was rare for her to sleep so soundly.

”It would seem that she doesn't have any nightmares when she's with you, Master. We should probably let her sleep in your bed more often”

Aura said teasingly, as she turned her head to the other side to stare at Tosca, who was still in her dreamy wonderland.

”It is fine for now, but as she grows older it will become inconvenient if she keeps climbing into my bed. I already made those mistake ones.”

Lambert said as he gave Aura a causing stare, which caused her to look away in embarrassment. Just as Lambert said, he had her sleep in his arms ever since she was a newborn Elemental and even as she grew older she would always climb onto his chest or in between his arms as she slept, that eventually stopped when they parted, but when she met him again as Mythander, she did it all over again much to his frustration.

She was still a little light elemental when they first parted but when he saw her again as Mythander, she was already a full-grown elemental and had a human form. But on the first night since they met again she snuck into his bed and he woke up not much different then than right now.

”At least, Master acknowledges his faults”

Aura whispered causing Lambert to roll his eyes at her shamelessness. He could make her embarrassed but she would always return with absolute shamelessness.

Tosca finally stirred after an hour, she gave a massive yawn exposing her pearly white teeth and then smiled sweetly at Lambert while rubbing her left eye.

”Morning, Ma~ster”

She said as she said the last word with another yawn.

”Morning, Little one”
