Gaia: Your highness.

Princess Dana: [giving Bette a hug] It’s good to see you are in better health you have been missed my friend.

Bette: Gratitude.

Princess Dana: When Gaia informed me you fell ill I must admit I was concerned.

Bette: Whatever it was needed time to pass through…..I am well. [she says removing her gaze from her towards Kelly who sat near Shane].

Since, the confrontation between she and Bette, Kelly kept her distance. Although, the weather had drastically warmed she kept a thick scarf around her neck as it served to conceal the bruising on her neck left behind at the hands of Bette. The darkness she saw in her eyes replayed vividly in her mind reminding her if she didn’t tread carefully Bette would still her life without a moments notice. She knew the day would come when she would be forced to reveal the truth, especially since Eva continued to grow in age.

Her past with Bette was dark and wild, it wasn’t until she was laying on her back pleading for her life the satisfaction of envisioning Bette fall to ruin failed rendered the outcome she had hoped. The pain and anger in her eyes was one she could never had predicted and internally she knew she had gone too far. Kelly, was bitter and remained so after all these years she had given a great deal of herself to Bette and when she failed to choose her it hurt beyond measure. Refusing to let go and heal she allowed resentment to fester pledging her life to destroying Bettes as she did hers. The moment she lived for was far from enjoyable as the course of her life, Evas, Bettes and Tinas would be changed forever.

Gaia: [noticing the stare and the twitching of her jaw quickly looked to change the subject] Uh, Carmen the armor how did this creation come about?

Carmen: Idella

Bette: Who?

Carmen: My soon to be wife.

Shane: [rolled her eyes in disdain]

Gaia: You are to be wed?

Carmen: [smiling] I am.

Kelly: Congratulations are in order.

Princess Dana: Yes, of course congratulations!

Bette: [hearing her voice clutched both her fists tightly]

Gaia: [grabs her left hand hoping to calm her]

Shane: [rudely interrupting] Apologies, but time is of the essence now is not the time to discuss personal matters.
