P2: ! Oi, you need to get back, don't you? The necklace?

Kuruki: ...!! Y-you're right! A moment, please! *Puts it up in a small box* Thank you for reminding me.

Marla: Ah, I see. It makes sense why you were away for that time. It would seem my judgement was right.
Kuruki: ...Huh?

Marla: You were spending time with your human friend... yes? It would explain that newfound smile that was on your face.

Kuruki: That's preposterous, I wasn't smiling-

Marla: Oh, I'm pretty sure you were. c: It would seem our human friend has connected with your softer side..

Kuruki: H-hey, what're you saying!? D//:

P2: ...I'm out. Bye. .//. ( cont. )

Kuruki: Elder Marla, with all do respect, he aided me in building resistance to Dragonsbane! We're not, I mean, did you really think-?

Marla: Dear, I've been around for a long time. Your eyes. They tell a different story.

P2: LA LA LA LA, WHAT A NICE DAY THIS IS!! :'O

Kuruki: It really isn't like that, I just invited him to come get the reward he left behind! D//:

Marla: Ta-ha-ha, ok ok, I'll stop teasing you. xD Honestly though, dear.. *Leans close in whispers* The boy seems like he likes you. He's been glancing at you for a bit, now.

Kuruki: *Whispers* ..Y-you must be mistaken. Prometheus doesn't think of me in such a way. He just cares of fighting and protecting, as I care about protecting the Dragon Stones. ( cont. )

Marla: You don't sound confident in your words, dear. Are you sure..?

Kuruki: I-! ...I think so..? ._.' *Ahem*! Even if that was true, which it is not, I have my duties. He'll have to search for some-

Marla: 'Someone else'? ...Mm, those duties do seem to get in the way, don't they..?

Kuruki: ? What do you mean?

Marla: Kuruki, do a favor for this old woman, yes? When you go to give him the treasure.. Ask him what he thinks of you. *Looks over at him*

P2: ! *waves* 'o'

Marla: *whispers* And, er.. try to "be nice." When he tells you, come back and tell me what he said. This will help me decide something for your position as guardian.
Kuruki: !! U-um.. Y-yes ma'am.. *Walks over to P2* The chamber is this way. Follow me. ( cont. )

P2: .-. I don't like how she looked over here like that.
Kuruki: You got off easy...

P2: Is everything good, now?

Kuruki: ...Sure. When we enter, please close the door behind us. I don't want people overhearing us..

P2: ? Uh, ok, if you say so. 'o' You sure everything's ok?
Kuruki: It will be soon. Just.. Keep to what I said. And don't be surprised..

P2: Huh?

Kuruki: Our treasure room is pretty big. ...I forgot your season was cold. This garment your friend gave me is kind of... warm, now.

The moment that some people have been waiting for is upon us, the question that we've been waiting to be answered is about to happen!

Kuruki feels like a way different person now compared to the last story that you had her in. She softened up a bit compared to how she was.

@ShihouxAdventure Yes yes, now things my start to heat up once Kuruki asks the questions... Ooooh, the suspense is killing me! D:

Well that's what happens when everything you start thinking that maybe not all humans are bad. I don't think Kuruki will lose her seriousness completely, but she'll definitely be softer than how she was before. Thanks!
