As the Shoggoth starts tearing up, I grab the Kikimora and very sternly and seriously tell her to put it back. The uncharacteristic amount of authority and anger in my voice shock her and she immediatly obeys. Kiki then apologizes to me and says her behavior was unbecoming of a loyal maid, but I calmly tell her it's not me she has to apologize to. She hesitates, but gives a half-hearted apology to the Shoggoth, who in turn accepts it smugly.

As the two start to leave, I cough and tell them to sit down as we need to have a serious, loooooong overdue conversation. Anxiously, the two get seated as I tell them that I've been aware of their rivalry for some time now and this was the last straw. Before they have a chance to protest, I tell them that while I appreciate their work a lot, and consider them to be very close to me, I honestly don't want them to fight over me. They both mean too much to me to have them dislike each other. As they are rendered speechless, I say that I'm willing to give them another chance, and also mediate as much as I need to, but if they simply cannot learn to live together, I might need to find new maids.

They both start to tear up and try to apologize, but I sit down between them on the couch and pull them both against my chest in a hug. I beg them not make it come so far before revealing that I was just about to give them a present before they started fighting again. I pull out of my pockets two small boxes and give them to the two. As they open it, they each find a ring imbued with a Demon Realm Gemstone with my SE in it. as well as two blank ones. I take the ones with my SE back, and order them to pour their own DE in the blank ones and exhange them. They do so and I tell them that, if both of them are still wearing them, and have gotten along within one month, I'll give them my rings. Forever.

Speechless, and knowing the significance of it, the two start tearing up in joy and, glomp me before composing themselves. I smile, and tell them that Christmas dinner isn't going to prepare itself. They rush towards the kitchen, and start helping each other (more than the other wants) with making dinner.
