"So our little Nero has a girl best friend, how interesting. But in any case I am happy to hear that he isn't gay or something, you don't know how worried I was about that. I mean just imagine the brother of The Great Ethan Blackwood is gay... Won't that be pretty ironic."
Claudia said laughing and slamming her beer jug on the table.
"I must admit, I too was worried about that." Ethan said taking a sip from his wine.
"Oh I think you must be mistaken about us we are just friends nothing more..." Celestia replied with a faint blush in her Rosey cheeks.
" Yeah yeah that's how I and this idiot were for couple of months... And look at us now." Said Claudia with a smug grin.
"Can we get to the important part of this conversation... What happened to my brother?."
"I don't know what happened the last thing I remembered before I got knocked out was a explosion happening from the fire place." Celestia said lowering her gaze.
"Hmm... Is that it... Shouldn't there be any reason for it to cause a explosion of that scale." An impatient Ethan asked, setting aside his wine glass.
"Calm down... Don't snap at the poor thing like that don't you have any morale... Beside... What interests me most isn't the explosion it's what we're you two doing prior to the explosion... All alone and stuff huhhh..." Claudia asked with a mischievous grin that spread across her face.
"Yeah... That I would like to know as well..." Ethan chimed in.
Both of their stairs made Celeste blush in embarrassment. "Nothing... Nothing at all." She yelled with shimmering eyes.
"Fine... Fine we won't force you to give us an answer.... Wait till I get my hands on that brat I'm going to beat him up so hard." Claudia said making a fist and slamming it onto the wooden table.
"Huh... Why?." Celestia asked clearly saddened by this remark.
"Why?.. well since he didn't introduce me to his pretty girlfriend of course."
"I am not his girlfriend..." Said Celestia tears coming out of her eyes.
"Enough of this nonsense... We need to find my brother." An irritated Ethan said finally.
"But where to begin looking for him?." Asked Claudia finishing her last drop of beer.
"Couple of days ago, Nero said he wanted to get stronger no matter what at the end of this year's end... And I might have said there was a Devil's domain that appeared not so far off, and maybe..." Celestia said wiping away her earlier tears.
"Yes... I heard about that too maybe your brother, like the idiot he is faked his death and went inside the domain..." Claudia said looking at Ethan, clearly a little bit drunk on the beer.
"It's not certain but, in any case a good start... We'll set out for it tomorrow morning. And miss Cel would you be joining us on this." Ethan asked turning towards Celestia.
"OF COURSE I AM." She said without any hesitation.
