“Mnn, nah…” Shey grunts, flexing her fingers as magic crackled across them. Weary though she was, she was well aware of the cues of the job. If Aelis didn’t have time to explain something, something needed doing. And she’d be the one to do it, if she could help it. “Lemme just get changed…” She muttered, radiating a white hot glow tinged with red.
The magic surrounding her became brighter and brighter and until she could scarcely be seen in it. When it finally died down, Shey’s appearance had changed, her normally wild and unruly locks wrangled into an unkempt braid, meanwhile her dark red sweatshirt had been traded for a dark red blazer with a black shirt and slacks.
“Let’s get it done, boss. Tell me where ya need me.”
“Have I ever mentioned I adore having you around...?”
The devil chuckled, turning about face to begin her walk through the castle’s throne room. She could see the Queen was already speaking with her staff, beginning the process of pulling her kingdom back together, so Aelis saw no reason to bother her much more. They’d exchanged a few words already, so she would answer other questions later.
“First, we’re on detail to aid in the royal family visiting this world,” she began, summoning her ledger and handing it off to Shey. She was busying herself with opening a new portal, which would open in to her temporary quarters, which was nestled just outside of the Grey Kingdom.
“Because as you may be interested to know, we have some good news and bad news. Good news is, we can finally expect a new Core to be born. Bad news, our beloved prince managed to knock up a mortal woman to do it. You can take a few guesses on the kind of mess that’s made for us.”
