There was silence as they stood there thinking of what to do next.
In that moment of silence, Azure arrived with little Maren in his arms. Everyone turned and stared at them as they approached, shock on their faces.
Little Maren looked calm and neat after taking her bath. She was indeed sparkling clean. Azure, on the other hand, looked like a complete mess. His attire was shabby from all the chasing, and his hair didn't look any better. It was as though he had gone on a wild goose chase. On his cheek was the obvious red mark left by Maren kicking and slapping him with her tail.
Everyone simply stared at him with a blink. Then they stared at the little one in his arms.
"He actually bathed her," Eris observed.
"Wow. That's something. She finally allowed him?" Luka blinked.
As soon as little Maren saw Sunnie, she instantly jumped from Azure's arms and rushed toward her.
