Great Aether

she ate slowly "the mana an alchemist uses will naturally regenerate with rest, but i used tow of my higher end abilities to help us stay safe"

"either way, thank you, had you not used that technique i wouldnt have figured that out. It is said that when one passes over to the 'other side' and passes back, they gain wisdom."

Desmond sits beside Setsuna and kisses her on the cheek.

she smiled softly "yes but as you saw the technique leaves me drained"

Desmond lays her on her back "Its ok, ill stay with you through your re-cooperation. I can also use a special technique to give you some of my energy. Ive had to study all kinds of magic and sex-craft is one of them."

she smiled softly and closed her eyes to rleax

Desmond Rubs her body down by which was for the most part stripped so that desmond could heal it.

"you want to go all the way this time?"

she just pushes him away and pulls out her watch and uses it to create her shade barrier

Desmond looks at the Barrier in confusion

"this was a gift from my sister, the shade alchemist. it is a recovery barrier that will keep me fully protected and help boost my recovery progress: she said softly

"well the way u used it made it seem like you were protecting yourself from me"

"well according to our records you are still classified as a fugutive and im told to be careful"

"Psh, fugitive? I left the Company's army because I was promoted to a more secret division."

Desmond lays on the opposite side of the bed.

"We are legends among legends, my immediate superior is the famous Amilcar, the Legacy of Kronos"

she smiled "well once im healed in about 24 hours we will be able to do whatever since i cnat drop a shade barrier before 24 hours"

Desmond closes his eyes smiling, and almost abruptly falling asleep, knowing that the random beast attacks are just about over

she slowly closed her eyes and went back to sleep herself, hoping that once these attacks end she could go back to being a mercenary

Setsuna would wake up to find Desmond gone and the smell of breakfast in the air again.

she drew her sword and sliced her shade barrier apart and got up in only her underware and bnadages and walked to the kitchen

"Good morning Setsuna, please enjoy the breakfast since we have an estimated full day grace period today, next to no chance of a beast attack."

The room was darker due to the overcast of the day along with the tinted sky light. Desmond was wearing a black tanktop and red boxers.

she ate a little but not too much, she wasnt feeling very hungry today but was eating enough to keep her stamina uo

Desmond embraces her from behind, his arms wrap around her shoulder and stomach.

"We have the whole day with no monsters, shall we waste the day away in bed together?"

"i need more supplies from my hotel, if you help it only takes an hour to move it all"

"sure ill help you move your stuff"

Desmond leaves to go get dressed

this time she slipped on a cloak that ahs the seal of the military and her alchemy seal in the middle of it

Desmond comes back fully dressed and kisses Setsuna on the cheek as they leave, Desmond letting setsuna take the lead

she led him to a large hotel suite covered in glyphs and to her storage closet where she had numerois stell bars and swords
