7am wakin' up in the mornin'

Amakusa had a plan.

It was a daring plan, but it was a plan nonetheless. It had been a few days since that time they had to show their love to the witches and overcome a trial. It had actually been.. really nice, just being around Ange and looking after her like he had before- but now he didn't have the weight of the witches to think about. They were gone, he had suspected maybe they checked up on them once in a while to see if he was becoming this beast again. He wouldn't do such a thing again, so he had to make sure this plan went off without a hitch.

"Lady," Amakusa called out to her as he came storming into the kitchen. It was a good thing Ange had shooed away all the other servants so it could just be them for a few days, maybe she didn't trust yet but- they had the whole mansion to themselves.

"I have a plan, and of course- since it's a plan thought up by me it's flawless."

It did make her feel better. After all, she trusted him, especially on a topic like this since he was the one who would know most about his own powers, his own behaviour, his own control over everything, not to mention that he knew a lot about Bernkastel too from serving the witches of the senate before this, so Ange figured he would definitely know whether what Bernkastel said was true or not. The possibility that he was worried too but just lying to make her feel better didn't quite skip her mind, though.

Ange had already closed her eyes as if she was ready to nap already (she did feel a little tired by now, and the warmth coming from him only helped that), apparently for once not minding that she was this close to him. She tugged on the sheets a little to cover them more before just lying still on her side next to him.

"Then.. it's alright, isn't it?" If Bernkastel was lying, there was nothing bad that could happen as long as they were together, as long as he was by her side.. they could just live happily here, right? "There's nothing to worry about anymore." Her voice wasn't much more than a mumble by now.

...Ah, he felt a little bad about lying to her, but it was for the best. Even though he was still confused about what Bern had been saying, he had a feeling that she was right- that he would indeed turn into something that would ruin her. He didn't know when exactly- but until then they would be together.

He noticed that she had fallen asleep by now, his much bigger frame side by side with hers. She was cuddling him slightly, but after he was sure that she was asleep and wouldn't wake back up right away, he had slowly transformed back into that of a human.

Amakusa was back to being just a man again, and he stared at her sleeping form, smiling. He reached out to her, brushing her bangs out of her face, and then his hand trailing down her cheek. He had woken her up like this back in the sixth game, but by how exhausted she was he guessed she wasn't going to wake up from his touch.

"I just hope there's nothing to worry about..." he whispered to her before drifting off to sleep himself.
