•·.·Madeleine's POV·.·•

I noticed that Espresso looked sad

"Are you alright?" I asked

They looked at me and smiled

"Yeah, of course!" They said

"You sure?" I questioned

"Mhm"

'Doesn't seem like it'

I also noticed that they were so focused on hiding their arm

'Did they... No I don't think they did. Unless they did..'

"You know you can tell me anything, right?" I asked in a soothing voice

"Yeah" Espresso said

Their voice cracked a little

'Yeah they definitely aren't ok'

•·.·Espresso's POV·.·•

'I just need a shoulder to sob on.. But I don't want anyone to worry about me'

'These stupid cracks.. God I hate dragon hunters'

Madeleine hugged me, but I jumped a bit because it was so sudden

"Oh, I didn't mean to scare you" He said

"It's fine" I smiled

"I know you're not alright though.. I just want you to talk to me. I'll happily help you"

"I'm fine, sweets.."

"Promise?"

"I-"

'No no.. I can't promise. That'll make me feel like shit'

'I stand at a crossroads..'

"Fine.. I'm not alright" I sighed

"What's wrong?" He asked

I lifted up my sleeve and took off one of my gloves

Madeleine's eyes widened

"They're spreading and getting worse" I said

"There has to be some way to heal this.." Madeleine said

I started sobbing into Madeleine's chest

He comforted me

"I'll get you some bandages.. You probably just need some" He said

"Alright" I said

He got up and left

Eventually, he came back with bandages

He wrapped them around both of my arms

"Is there any cracks on your legs?" He asked

"I don't think so" I said

Then I rolled down my stockings

Both of my legs looked terrible

Me and Madeleine were pretty shocked

One of the cracks were pretty big

"Oh dear" Madeleine muttered

I took off my stockings, and he wrapped bandages around both of my legs

"I might need a healer.. Again" I said

Then I heard a notification from my phone

I grabbed it, and saw that Twizzly texted me

You know I have trust issues, so show proof

————————————————————————

She sent a vid of Madeleine's father leaving on the airship (...😏)

"Alright, we can go now" I said

"Alright" Madeleine said

I put on my gloves and went to Pitaya's throne room to say bye

•·.·Cream Cheese's POV·.·•

I waited for Espresso and Madeleine to come back since I figured out they went somewhere

'Good thing I got someone to shapeshift as me and take that airship back to the republic'

When I smelt the familiar coffee scent and madeleine said, I smirked

"He really left after one day.. I guess he was just looking for you" I heard Espresso say

"I'm really not surprised.. He wants to 'finish what he started'" I heard Madeleine say

"What do you mean.."

'Oh you'll find out..'

"You fools!" I said as I popped out from my hiding spot
