The mercenaries' hall finds itself empty. Except for six individuals, with nowhere else to go. Valorie may not be awake to experience the socializing, but she finally feels safe enough to sleep. After days and days of staying awake out of fear of being attacked out in the wild, now that she is home, now she can catch some rest. Even in all her armour, it's only here where she feels truly protected. The twins, wrapping up as they finish cleaning. Kris excitedly approaches, ready to join in the fun, as Bayley continues working away. They worked hard and long all day. But it was worth it. The satisfaction of a job well done, and the relief of finally being done will make it all worth it. Djura regales Sirena and Janine with tales of his past and his homeland. Sirena has already heard these stories before, but it does not impede her ability to be entertained, and to be happy in the moment. But Janine, she eagerly drinks deep, leaning in, asking questions. To her, this is all new. To be surrounded by people that care for each other, to have a real family. Her parents are across the world, so very far away. And yet, she feels more at home in this moment than she ever did there. It's in moments like these where she discovers that this is her family now.

If only nights like these, these moments, could last forever.


Just some personal stuff as I had a real itch to make some Sirena pieces. And I made the two nonbinary twin maids, recently, so I had to include them of course~
Sorry not sorry, I am really passionate about making this story some day.
