Perhaps unexpectedly, Tirush's face splits into a wide, fang-filled smile, though her aggression does not diminish.

"Ah, now, listen!  A virile male is a good thing, yes?  Perhaps for some, yes.  Perhaps not for others.  But a man who has known so many, what does he know of love?  Let us ask this question.  For what he knows of love is what he wants in love.  This is well, but when he sees the one who captures his heart, what does he know of love then?  Nothing.  For what he knows is only what he wants, and has never had to think of another."

She leans forward, pointing at Adelhard with a talon. "And, you are old, and worldly.  Lucida is younh, a child."

"I-I'm n-not THAT young!" Lucida suddenly sputters in protest.

"Honey, you're eight." Regina looks over to her and deadpans.

"B-but, that doesn't count!  I'm a Golem!  You can't expect me to make friends with nothing but eight-year-olds!"

As they are speaking, there is the sound of a side door opening and closing. Heavy footfalls and feminine chatter grow until they reach the room. Ferra walks around the corner, followed by Aurora, swimming through the air beside her. They both stop when they reach the parlor. Aurora gives a tiny gasp of fright, and quickly swims away, disappearing like a shadow.

The huge Iron Golem looks over at Adelhard with a surprised expression. "Oh!  Hello!" She gives a sweet smile and a little wave.

"Adelhard, this is Ferra, my fourth daughter," Thomas says, gesturing, because with Tirush wrapped around him he can't move much.
