For once, Erika didn't climb in through the window or wait on the bed. She chose instead to gather her own thoughts in a long bath and now she stands, smoothing out her dress, wondering why this feels so difficult. It might be a big decision but it won't go wrong or be bad. They won't make a mistake. So it's fine, right?

Well. It could change their relationship. It is a big commitment. Now it sounds like something else entirely. She laughs - a short and not entirely happy sound - and shakes her head. That ridiculous thought gives her enough to be at ease when she pokes her head into Zelos's room.

"So then, do you want to be my master?"
