But this is better.

[Takes her hand once more and takes the lead. He's taking her to his house where he's going to make her some cake.]

Yes, so much better.

[And it was. Although she has no clue where Ion is taking her she doesn't seem to mind or make inquiry to it. She let's Ion lead her to his home only marveling at the warmth of his hand and the fact that Ion wanted her by his side.]

[Ion lead her to the kitchen. He had some questions for her. Information on the future and hints on his replica's behavior. Having information gives him an advantage over others.

While washing his hands by the sink, he asked her in a gentle voice.]

Would you like to eat anything for dinner? I can make you something you like.

[Something Arietta liked? No, she couldn't ask for more.]

Ion doesn't have to, Arietta can have anything Ion likes. Arietta can make things for Ion too!

It's all right. Please allow me. [And Ion busied himself away. He was used to eating alone and making meals for himself. With his pet here, it feels different. It feels less lonely.]

Luke killed your mommy, right?

Yus. Mommy was only trying to protect Arietta's brothers and sisters after the cheagles burned mommy's home.

Arietta saw Luke here... [She looks thoughtful for a moment.] He apologized to Arietta, but...

Don't forgive him. [Ion said that very calmly, very sure of himself.] He took your family away and you know you can never have them back.

[She nods slowly agreeing with Ion.] He made Arietta feel so sad... Arietta won't forgive him, she won't! [She had to convince herself because meeting the red head and hearing his soft, kind voice made her doubt her resolve to never forgive him.]

[And because evil Ion here said so. B) ]

That's my girl. Don't forgive the enemy.

[After a long while, Ion presents a hearty dinner for her on the table. Looks like it's beef stew with lots of veggie goodness.]

Eat well.

[Yes, but Ion was the person she trusted the most. He had after all helped her so much. She would forever be grateful for that.]

Ah~ [She looks delighted at the meal Ion had set before her.]

Thank you so much, Ion! [Her smile is wide, but she waits expectantly for Ion to sit and start eating first.]

[Ion sits, but he doesn't eat. He smiles gently, liking how cute she is. She's such a pretty pet.]

I ate outside already, so go ahead.

[She carefully picks up a fork, and picks some of the delicious meal Ion made with it. She carefully guides it towards her mouth showing Ion that he taught her well. After swallowing that small mouth full she gives Ion a smile.]

It's so good!

I'm glad. [Ion never knew he has a talent for cooking.]

Take your time. I won't go anywhere.

[She nods and takes her time with the meal her beloved Ion prepared for her. She savored every bite until finally she finished. She carefully set her fork down and looks up at Ion beaming.]

[Ion was drinking his tea as she ate. He beams back.]

Full?

Yes. It was a wonderful meal, one Arietta will never forget!

[She stands up now picking up the empty dish.] Arietta will clean up everything!

All right.

[He lets her do as she can. He sips his nice iced tea as he watches her.]

[She is careful to wash the dishes, making sure they are very clean! Then the pots Ion used to prepare her meal. Soon she is drying everything and trying to find where the clean pots and dishes go.]

You did a good job. Keep it up. [Praise! He's praising her. Such sweet words that she haven't heard for a long time.]

[Hallelujah!!! It was as if the world got brighter. It had been so long, Ion was hers again, and Anise wasn't anywhere near to disturb her peace. She is suspicious for a second though that Anise may show up and destroy this moment for her. She looks around and once sure there is no Anise she smile at Ion.] Thank you very much Ion!

[Ion smiled back. It's a dream come true.]

Do you need some rest? Or how about take a walk with me to see the sunset outside?

[She didn't want to disappoint him, even if she was a little weary from before she stands up straight to to show Ion she was strong, even if a little tired.]

Arietta wants to go out with Ion!

[He noticed how weary she looks, but it won't be long.

He offers his hand.]

Let's go.

[She quickly accepts, she enjoyed holding hands with him.]

Yes. [She of course allows Ion to lead the way.]

[He didn't take her too far. He lead her to a park and have her sit down on a park bench. From their position, they can see the sun slowly dipping down to the horizon.]

Isn't that pretty?
