"She is just mad because she heard that you spent time with Olivia first. I don''t really see what the big deal is. I haven''t even kissed you yet, and I am notining," Goldyughed after I got my clothing on, and I walked over to the little Dwarven Goddess and leaned down to give her a short but sensual kiss. "Oh! Well, maybe I should be more like her! I bet you are pretty good at other things as well."


    "Do you all mind getting the hell out of my room so I can get dressed?" Elfinia demanded from under the nkets, and Iughed as I looked over at her.


    "Yes, everyone, out of the room, and I will be right down," I said, but then Elfinia poked her head out to re at me.


    "That means you too!" She snapped, and I put a hand over my heart in mock pain.


    "What? What did I do?" I asked, but Elfinia just stabbed a finger at the door, and I shrugged. "Fine, be that way."


    I left the room with Elfinia ring at me until I closed the door. There was just no winning with that woman. The moment that you thought you had her figured out and things were going smoothly, Elfinia just threw gas on everything.


    "She does seem like she is getting a little bit better, right?" Eliza asked after Chili, and she slid under each of my arms, making it awkward to go down the stairs.


    <o>,m "I think so, but I have a feeling that it is just going to be a long road," I said, and Eliza sighed, but Chili just giggled.</o>


    "But that is the fun of it! Don''t you agree, Galio?" Chili asked, and I just chuckled and nodded.


    "I do, sort of, but I think Elfinia is going to be the death of me, and I am not sure if I am ready for that," I said, but Chili just giggled, and Eliza sighed.


    "You can''t back out now!" Chili said, and I just chuckled and shook my head.


    "I am not going anywhere," I said, and then we were finally at the bottom of the stairs, and I could see Rexa, Skr, Daphne, and Velma all sitting at a big table, and they all had tes of food. The smell of the food was making my mouth water.


    "Finally, we were starting to think that you weren''t going toe down," Daphne said, and Titania took a seat next to me, but she looked unhappy, and Chili and Eliza sat on the other side.


    "I am sorry, I was just talking with Elfinia, and she is quite the handful," I said, and everyone nodded their heads in understanding.


    "She is, but she is one of your goddesses, right? I am sure that she wille around to you at some point," Rexa said as she took a seat next to Titania, and then Skr took the spot next to Rexa, and Daphne was next to Skr.


    "I guess so, but I think she is going to give me gray hair before I am done with her," I said, and everyone just chuckled and nodded.


    "That is just the way Elfinia is, but I am sure you will get her to calm down," Goldy said, and I sighed as I watched here down the stairs, but I kept focused on the table.


    "What about the three Ellys?" I asked as I picked up a piece of bacon to devour.


    "In cells that ire created. They all have new and normal clothing, and we fed them," Velma said, and then Olivia shot her a look.


    "You would talk to a Goddess so freely?" Olivia snapped, making Velma shrink into Daphne. I was going to say something, but ire seemed to be fine on her own.


    "You would be wise to think about how you treat people. You may have been asleep for a long time, but things aren''t the same. I was the Holy Beholder, but I am no longer, and I don''t even know if I want to go back to the job. It was never mine in the first ce, and seeing all the work that Galio puts in makes me think that someone else could do a better job than me," ire exined, and Olivia just sat stunned.


    "You would give up your position as a Goddess?" Olivia asked, and ire just nodded.


    "I never wanted it in the first ce. I was just thrust into it, but Galio has given me a new purpose, and I think I would like to stay with him for a while," ire said, and Olivia just nodded.


    She paused for a moment, tapping her small chin. "I think that is a good idea. The previous Holy Beholder''s actions didn''t make sense, and I think there is trouble brewing on my ind," Olivia said, and then she looked over at me. "You have really changed things since you got here, Galio."


    "I am just doing what I can. There is trouble brewing on every ind, and that is what I am here for. Each of the twelvends will be visited, and every ind in between. My job is to have fun, kill the really bad girls, and teach everyone to love each other or some bull crap like that. The point is that I just want you all to work together! You are all my family and the leaders of this world, so you all should at least try to get along. I know that is a big stretch, but that is what I am here for!" Iughed and then got serious. "We can''t leave yet. Yes, we got rid of the bad stuff and cleaned some people, but I want to know how we can make their lives easier. This is one of the things that Tallia asked about. So, before we leave today, I would like to help make a couple improvements."
