He followed her outside, though he wasn't sure why.
“You do remember what Elizabeth said to you right?” Tibaut asked as he got a better look at the snow. It was thick enough that he could hear it squeak under his feet but it definitely wasn't the thickest amount of snow he'd been in.
“I'm good at filling other hungers, dear.” She began swaying her hips, in her thick pants. She was also wearing a sweater that hid any skin but no amount of clothing could hide the shape of her body. “Plus, you don't exactly seem hungry,”
“Have you seen how I look?” Tibaut stated as he pointed to himself.
“I still see the oatmeal around your mouth… but I guess an extra meal couldn't hurt.”
She stopped before a pile of snow on the ground and bent over.
“So why are we out here anyway? I feel like I'm gonna freeze any moment.”
“My, I just thought you couldn't get enough of me.” She answered as she reached into the snow.
Pulled out of the snow were the pair of Agnes and Lucky. Lucky immediately awoke, and slipped out of Agnes’s hands. He shook the snow off himself before walking up to Tibaut, licking at his hands.
“Shit, is she okay!?” Tibaut asked as he rushed towards Agnes.
He tried to remove her from Ruby's grasp to no avail.
“I thought you guys said you wouldn't do anything to her!?”
“Relax, she likes staying out here,” Ruby answered.
Before Tibaut could ask why they'd just let her freeze, Ruby grabbed a hand of his and placed it on her chest. The man no longer felt like he was gonna freeze and pulled it away, red-faced.
“What the fuc-” Before he complained, he raised an eyebrow. Something felt off about her.
He placed his hand somewhere less vulgar on her and noticed she was shockingly warm. It was as if the snow wasn't there.
With only a thin top that went to her stomach and a loose pair of pants, she was warmer than the woman holding her.
“It's unfair isn't it?” Ruby commented. “She could make snow angels nude, yet wearing anything less than two layers would make me feel like I'm freezing. (The one thing about the homeland I do miss is the endless summer.)” Ruby commented with a sour expression.

Her eyes soon slowly opened and she saw the person in front of her. She didn't think twice before she wrapped her arms and legs around him.
“Hehehe my prince, we can go for some more.” She mumbled under her breath. It was the first kiss on his neck that told her something was off.
As tangible as her dreams were, they were never this tangible. More importantly, what happened to her Prince? He went from a body of marble to feeling mummified.
And why was that whore Ruby here?
“T-tibaut?” She softly asked.
“D-don’t worry, Agnes, I've definitely been there with the dreaming. Sorry, you were woken by me instead of your prince.”
Ruby let go of her and the pair with blue and red hair fell to the ground with a hug from Agnes.
“You're alive.” She softly muttered. She seemed to be helping herself as she began nuzzling her face against his chest like an abandoned cat.
“Uh, Agnes?” Tibaut whimpered. In his current state, he couldn't manage to stand up with her weight added to his, much less push her off him.
“Aren't you shameless?” Ruby commented as she watched her.
“P-p-p-please don't leave me.” Agnes cried into his chest. He could start to feel something wet form on his chest.
(“Oh, that's it. The last time I remember seeing her they did kinda scar her mentally, didn't they? Jeez, she must have been scared shitless without me around.”)
He looked at Ruby with suspicion.
“Let me ask again. You guys didn't do anything to her, right?”
Ruby couldn’t help but be amused at his bravado.
“Nope!” She said with a smile. (“Ah, just look at him, he really looks so ready to fight me here and now…Honestly, it'd be fun with either one of us on top.”)
----------------------------------------
After giving Agnes a few more minutes to get her sorrows out of her system she immediately found herself behind Ruby, dreadful too kind of a word to describe her current appearance.
(“I’M SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT!”) She thought as she held onto Ruby's coat.
“As you can see, she just missed you.”
“I guess going unconscious after coming back didn't exactly do her favours when it came to getting friendly with you guys. Sorry about that, Agnes.” He said with hands clasped.
She gently nodded in response.
“So what now?” Tibaut asked.
“Want to go visit town? It sounds like that Saint isn't going to return for a while.” Ruby answered.
“Ugh, honestly I'm not in the mood for any walking.”
“Aren't you curious how the place is after we found out what Ezekiel did?” Ruby asked. “Cause love or hate him currently, he was probably the main reason most of you guys became adventurers in the first place. (I can't believe I ever saw anything in that piece of shit.)” She said with a cold expression.
“Ruby I know this might sound bad but… I just need a break. As long as everyone else is okay, I just… want to stay here for a while.”
Tibaut answered as he began making his way back inside.
(“I don't wrong you, kid. This whole fucking thing has got me wondering if I should turn to prostitution. At least there, I'll know those guys are pieces of shit from the get-go. I trusted that man with my niece for how many years and yet he turned out like this!”) Her breathing got more ragged and her muscles began tensing as she thought about Ezekiel.
