Good to finaly meet Azelias sister in person I am Ice bear!

Hello Ice Bear, good to meet you too~

Hey, you uh... Got a little something there...

What's that my dear? My reflection?

Uh, yeah, you got something in your teeth there, is that ketchup?

Blood my dear, my evil side isn't someone you'd want to be around~

AH, yes, okay, yeah, makes sense... ._.

Do not worry yourself too much, Azelia helps me suppress that side of me, there's no need to be scared of me, unless you're scared of a little dominance~

Psh! Yeah, right!

Then you've got nothing to fear~

Wonderful! How does tea or soda sound, you like any of those?

Tea is fine. Azelia and I share the same enjoyment for tea

Lovely! Tea it is! What better tea than Honest-Tea?

Black tea is better, and you've got some ways with words, Azelia probably likes it.

Hah, well I'm glad someone does! *Making tea awfully slowly*

I'm not seduced by words like Azelia is.

But you CAN be seduced, yes..?

Maybe~

Lemme guess, bongo drums, bottle of Merlot, sitting beside the fireplace that is the blown up headquarters of our enemies?

Well Azura...nice to meet you again, should stop by my place~
There's a 9 tailed wanting to meet you there~

Oh? Made another nine tailed friend since the last time we met?

But what if it's you I want~

Hmm...no, but I don't believe you've seen the first one~
And me you want? Oh ho, then come and get me fluffy one~ If you dare <3

*Crosses her arms.* You know if it was Azelia, you'd be pounced by a fluffy fox for saying that, right?

As for me... you'll never know when I'll be getting you~

Oh yes, I know that, you are so much different though, which makes it...fun~
*Chuckles* Yeah, well I'll be ready whenever it is~ Try to catch me by surprise ;)

Hehe, you will never see me coming~

Bring it fluffbutt~

Oh A-Azura! A-always good to meet you! A-absolutley thrilled to s-see you! N-nice reflection you've g-got there... g-goes well with the colour of your top! *backs away slowly* T-tell Azelia I s-said Hi! I h-hope she's getting better soon... v-very much!

Don't back away my dear Leandre, I won't hurt you. Come here, I'll give you a hug to let you tell Azelia yourself of your wishes~

O-okay, can we reach a compromise here, maybe? I-I'll come over and give you a hug if you move far, FAR away from any kind of reflective surface first!

*Azura couldn't help but let out a giggle*

Leandre, do you think this happens every time I am with a reflective surface? This is only a show, as long as Azelia lives, she helps me to seal up that side of me, I do not enjoy that emotion of mine, Which is why Azelia helps me supress it. Don't worry about mirrors, it won't happen~

I-I don't know, i-it looks like it wants to kill me and it would be enjoying every second of it. I-I am not up for that! I am just a normal girl, Azura, I-I can not deal with this...

Well... you aren't wrong if it ever did get out, however, are you not trusting me or Azelia? Because she's the one who's got the seal on that side of me.

I can understand if you fear me, many do. Not many like me over Azelia, who's able to show this "fluffy love" as many call it. So it's understandable if you don't want to be near me.

No! No...ugh... now I've messed it up, I am sorry Azura... I am just afraid, Azura. I am not strong, I am not wise, I am not special like you and Azelia are. I can't just laugh in the face of danger, I get scared and I want to hide. Look... this isn't about trust, or about you, or about Azelia... I-I don't know, seeing blood makes me feel frightened.

It's not about the fluffy love either. I-I mean, that's nice and all, but it's never been about that. I... I don't know what I am even saying anymore.

"The fear of blood tends to create the fear of flesh"... Or something like that, read that somewhere. Maybe a video game? ((Silent Hill 1))

Anyways, I can understand if you feel scared, but come closer, I promise to you that the closer you actually are to me, the more I feel protective, and give you that strength, least that's what our daughter says...

You've got Azelia and I to protect you from danger, including from that side of me, so you've got nothing to be scared of.

*Approaches and gives Leandre a soft hug*

*tenses up a lot and remains there, petrified*

He... hehe... he... y-you're just as fluffy as her, y-you know?

I can feel your tense Leandre, I don't wish to cause you discomfort. *Lets go of the hug but still remains close, placing her hands on your shoulders*
We do share the same body, so fluffiness is to be expected. I do want you to know however, I am here to help keep you safe, even if you don't feel safe around me...

I-I know, Azura... t-thank you. I am sorry if I have insulted you with my behaviour... I know you're saying the truth, but there are horrors which I just can not face. I can't stand up to things that try to hurt me. All I can do is run or beg for mercy.
I am sorry, it's not about you... I am just not used to things... things that are actually dangerous.

Technically speaking, we're both very dangerous, it's just the combined effort between Azelia and I that makes us really adapted towards being kind and caring. I will never hurt you (unless you ask), but I won't deny this side of me. If I could cry, I think I would be...

Oh man, I feel like a huge jerk now... *gives a big, fluffy hug*
Look, you and Azelia, you've got each others back, you watch out for one another. This... thing... it is never going to get free. It is... irrelevant. You are you, and AZelia is Azelia.

I've only cried once, I won't deny this. But usually, I cannot cry. It's not an emotion I feel, sadness. However, I do feel lonely and unwanted a lot, but you're right, this side will never become a reality.

And thanks Leandre, *Hugs back again*

*snuggles up more* Man, I've never given this much thought, but it must be pretty hard for you living in the shadow of Azelia all the time. She's the one everyone knows and loves and who has all of these loyal friends, but you are actually a big part of why she is the person she is, aren't you? It must be frustrating to go without recognition so very often.

Not many do, but I'm quite alright with Azelia getting most of the attention, she has been in a deep depression for a long time, though it stopped much before we met you. I've got a few people who refer to me as Friend, but not many want to try to love me, as I lack the emotions to feel love...

And yes, Azelia helps me being who I am, and I help her be who she is.

Love, huh? That's a difficult one, isn't it? Many have accused me of having no idea what true love is as well, but nobody ever really bothers to explain it to me either. All they say is things like "You'll know when it happens." or "You're just a slut who's only after the sex.". I don't know, I don't really get the big fuss about this word love. Can't I just like people? So, would it comfort you if I said, you're porbably not missing out on much?

Azelia explains it to me. She found true love in her husband, and she tried to explain it as "A warm and comforting feeling, not that feeling of excitement, but safety and comfort in someone else.". It's hard for me to imagine that. What I do want is acceptance, I don't require to be loved, it's a definite bonus, and our husband does claim he loves both of us equally, which does make me feel a bit better. While he knows I'm incapable of showing those emotions to him, I do my best to use what emotions I do have to help make him feel good.

But, I'll always remain blunt, evil Azura to most, hidden away, helping Azelia keep her emotions in check. As long as Azelia's happy, I'm happy, that's how it's been for over 1000 years. I have hurt people who take advantage of Azelia's kindness to hurt her, I will not lie, but in you, I only see a friend, a truly wonderful friend to Azelia, and hopefully, myself also... despite this side of me.

Wow... that must truly be tough... I really think so.

We really should spend more time together directly. I'd love to get to know you just as good as I know Azelia. We've hadn't had too many chances to talk to one another directly, but your friendship means a lot to me. I am sorry, if I was being mean earlier. I am just easy to scare.

Don't worry Leandre, it's perfectly natural, I even scare Azelia sometimes... although half the time I make it a playful joke to her...

And whenever you'd like to speak with me, just let Azelia know, I'll be here a while, so if you ever see us in more, what we'd consider modern clothing, then you know it's me. Azelia's the one who prefers kimonos and dresses, I like this modern style, very fun.

I've got a scary confidence, is what most people describe it as. However, just being with me, you'll learn that I'm actually quite different once you get to know me more, and while I won't deny it hurts a bit when I'm always seen as the evil, unaproachable one, it's a fair deduction when compared to Azelia...

Oh, and I just came by to tell you I bought you tickets to a glow in the dark mirror maze...

H-have you brought a blindfold for me as well?

When DON'T I!? *Holds up both tickets and blindfold* 8D Boy, you got the right idea, Leandre!

That does sound like a silly place to be in. Although I will be waiting for you two to go through the maze, such things don't please me, azelia however would love it.

Oh? Then what DOES please you?

Many things, not many things that please both parties however.

I tend to be more of a thrill seeker, so these silly mirror mazes don't appeal to me

So roller coasters then! 8D

Sure, sounds fun... just not too high...

Hm? 'Fraid a heights?

Not scared... just don't like them...

I'm sure there's a difference in there somewhere! 8D
