"I... do have a better idea..." Iteral blushes at Mercy's praise an examination, pressing her fingers together a little. "... it takes two people to fence." Her cheeks could probably light the candles up right now. "... would you like to? Final question, then I go to bed. Promise."

Caleb, being in the kitchen, seemed to be quite annoyed by Iteral’s and Mercy’s lovey family stuff. He was at the kitchen table, spinning something around in a circle. It seemed to be a fidget toy or something of the sort. He spun it around quietly to pass the time until the Iteral person went to bed or something when she left. Although it would be nice if both of them left.

Mercy nodded. "Sure. Now please, bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day." She urged Iteral to rest, gesturing upstairs. She wanted to talk to the quieter ones without all the disruptions.

"Alright, alright." Iteral nods, the strand of pink hair on her forming into a small streak, as she gives Mercy one last squeeze. "Thanks mom. I needed that." She walks up and turns, smiling. "See you tomorrow morning." Before she went to bed, she did something she very rarely did: Pray. Granted, she was no good at it... but she tried her best, even using incense and washing herself as she used to do back in her own time, before going to the edge of her bed and citing her.

(Her prayers are Roman in nature (since she learned it that way) but she knows about the other gods in the family.)
Be well, revered Hestia, Goddess of the flame, may you look favourably upon this rite.
Dear Gatekeeper of the Garden, may you be well, may you look favourably upon me, may this incense find favour with you.
(Had to make purple since you cannot read pink in a spoiler)
Noble Mercy, or whatever name it is that you prefer, Goddess of Day and Night, I pray to you, I do you reverence. I ask your grace and favour that you might return safely tomorrow morning. May you know the sincerity of my request by this prayer that I offer; may it find favour with you.
Divine Gaia, or whatever name it is that you prefer, Goddess of Earth, I swear that I will do my best to free you of the Sinner's shackles and keep your daughter safe. If I do not do not this thing may time and nature themselves tear on my body and mind at their leisure.. I call on you to witness, Mother Earth.
Empyrean Gaia, or whatever name it is that you prefer, Goddess of Life, I pray to you, I do you reverence, I ask your grace and favour in that Ambrose will be safe and sound in the cottage. May you know the sincerity of my request by this prayer I offer; may it find favour for you.

Divine Mercy and Gaia, I swear that I will offer everything I have available to save my family, including both of you and the other members in the Garden or on Earth. I know I have many flaws and shortcomings but I hope you note that all of my actions are done without a shred of ill-intent. May you know the sincerity of my prayers.
She grabs one of her clocks... and breaks it in half.
May it find favour for you.
She places the broken clock onto the nightstand next to her.

Revered Hestia, may you look favourably upon me, if I have done anything to violate this rite may you receive this incense in expiation of my error.

"... it is done." She whispers, making a final hand gesture and standing up. She was a little nervous, she hadn't prayed that long in over 500 years...

“…finally” He huffed, now that the argument was over. He had no need to sleep, given as he was just a puppet

Mercy felt a shiver run through her back. Her stars seemed to glow slightly brighter, than dim again. She turned to Makoto. "Apologies. I always have business to take care of."

“Don’t we all” He said sarcastically, looking up at the ceiling. He was perfectly content to just sit in silence, but he doubted that would happen

She nodded, sitting quietly. She stared out the window for a short while, watching the wind blow the snow everywhere. Snowing again, it seemed. At least everyone would be warm, in the house and around her.

“….” The question that had been nagging at his brain (or, well, whatever gave him the ability to think) was finally too annoying to ignore. “What’s your deal with that mask. Doesn’t fit anything else you have” He stated

"It belonged to my son. He had to leave me, and so I kept it." She answered briefly. That's probably what he wanted- no sappy stories or anything, just an answer.

“Why? It would be easier to just get rid of it” He attempted to keep a distance of intrigue. But he wanted to know.

"He's very special to me. I know you aren't human, so you wouldn't understand the sentimental value of things..." She tried to make a connection. "I always see that doll you have. Why is it you have that?"

“… an old man taught me how. I’m not going to just get rid of something I made.” He stated. The real answer was infinitely more… complex. He thought back to the little boy…

"You care about the doll enough to not discard it. It's the same for me and the mask." She tried to help make sense of it- she couldn't just get rid of it, not after everything they had been through together.

“…Just because I’m a puppet doesn’t mean I don’t understand sentimentality. I choose not to care for it. The only thing that exists now is the present.” He said, going back to what she had said earlier.

"Sorry for the misunderstanding then." She brought her grimoire back out and flipped to a specific page, reading it over. "The boy I knew looked and acted a lot like you. He was always there to ground me and get me out of my head."

“I don’t care about that” He stated plainly. If she was trying to get him to say that was him, she wouldn’t get that. He had all his memories back, and none were of these people. “If I wanted to ask about him, I would have”

"Then I won't talk about him, or the mask." She shrugged, keeping her eyes on the antique pages of her book.

“Well the mask isn’t the boy, it’s an object. But alright.” He huffed, looking away

"Hm... Is it alright if you share a bit about yourself?" She placed her hand on the counter, tapping her nails along the granite top.
