"Sorry... guess I dozed off there..." Cisaya mumbled. She still felt tired, and much groggier than before. "Ugh..." she grumbled.

Eclipse gave her a look with a hint of concern, before he cleared his throat and packed up his things. "I'm sure sleeping on the table can't be comfortable. Why don't you go back to your room and relax for a while? There's still another hour before dinner." he told her.

Cisaya only nodded, and stood up. "Anyways, thanks for letting me hang out with you Eclipse. See you later." she smiled wearily at him, before heading off back to her room. She wasn't sure she really wanted to sleep anymore, but kept walking with her head down until she was back in front of the door to her room. "Agh. What a slow day..." Cisaya muttered and walked in, heading straight for her bed.

That was, until she noticed her closet door was open, and heard some rustling coming from inside. Cisaya raised an eyebrow curiously and walked over to the doorway and peered in. "Who's there?"

"Eek!" squeaked a somewhat familiar voice. Rosalie turned around, looking at Cisaya in surprise. "Oh, it's you. This is your closet, right?" she laughed nervously.

"Uh... yeah." Cisaya nodded. She noticed that Rosalie was wearing one of her dresses, and long socks. They seemed to fit her slender figure well, and Cisaya thought she looked pretty. However, she did notice a few odd marks on Rosalie's arms, like faded bruises.

She caught Cisaya staring at her arms, and rubbed them a bit self-consciously. Rosalie then quickly explained, "Sorry for just barging in. Dreymeil told me I could borrow some clothes from you while mines dry off." Rosalie put on a small smile and twirled around in the dress.

"Ah, I see. Well that's fine." the demon slayer nodded. "I never wear the dresses Drey puts in here anyways." Cisaya chuckled, and stepped aside for Rosalie to walk out in her outfit.

"Say... how long have you known Dreymeil anyways?" Cisaya inquired. "He said you were his friend, right?"

"Oh, I've known him for a while... We met maybe a year ago?" Rosalie mused, putting her finger on her chin as she thought. "I'm from the city after all, so I saw him around a few times. Finally one day he just came up to me and asked to spend the night with me." she giggled and shrugged like it wasn't that big of a deal.

"Spend the night...?" Cisaya twitched. "As in... you two... already..." she trailed off.

Rosalie glanced over at her, and nodded with a sly sparkle in her eyes. "It's not everyday you get a handsome demon's attention. So how could I refuse?" she chuckled, before she noticed the slight look of repulse on Cisaya's face. "Hey, don't give me that look. It's not like I just sleep around with any guy, you know!" Rosalie snapped at her.

"Er, sorry..." Cisaya shook her head and pulled her eyes away. She knew she should have expected this. She could see just from Rosalie's appearance that she was probably the demon's type. Cisaya wasn't sure what it was, but she thought Rosalie looked... suitable for Dreymeil. "So, why are you here now, if you don't mind me asking?" Cisaya tried to steer the subject away from those other matters.

The girl pursed her lips, and rubbed her bare arms again. "My father beats me." Rosalie said as bluntly as possible. Her whole demeanor seemed to shift into a cold and harsh one as she talked. "Since my mother's dead and I have no other relatives, I can't go anywhere, and there's no one to stop him." she let out a frustrated sigh. "And the other night... he came home pretty drunk, on who knows what... The old asshole tried to rape me... so I ran."

Cisaya was taken by surprise by her story, and was speechless as she tried to imagine it. The whole thing seemed terrible to her, especially because Cisaya had always known her own father as a caring and protective man. Rosalie's situation was nearly the opposite of that, and it actually made her feel bad. "I'm sorry to hear that... "

"It's okay." Rosalie said briskly. "All that matters now is that I'm away from that place... and with someone like Dreymeil to take care of me."

The evening hours arrived, yet the rain outside still hadn't ceased. It continued to come down as heavy as ever, and Cisaya was just surprised nothing had flooded yet. The brunette was coming down the corridor towards the dining hall, looking forward to tonight's meal. "Hopefully, getting some food will cheer me up." Cisaya mumbled, as she walked.

There were a few things on her mind, but specifically the discussion she had with Rosalie. Although she felt pity for her and knew it was good that she was staying here now, Cisaya couldn't brush off this strange feeling she had. She wasn't sure if it was because she knew Dreymeil and Rosalie had been together before, or if there was more to that. The demon slayer didn't even know WHY it bothered her. After all, everyone had told her many times before, Dreymeil was quite the Casanova, and scored with many women before. Cisaya had already dismissed that fact a long time ago.

"I'm... probably just not used to her yet." Cisaya told herself. "But... I never had a problem meeting new people before..." she bit her lip, but shook it off as she arrived in the dining hall. Cisaya looked up to see the table with food spread on it, and the people who were already there.

Chisoku was at the head of the table like always, along with Eclipse at one side and Dreymeil to the other. What caught her eye though was Rosalie, who had taken the spot right next to Dreymeil, and had her chair close against his. Cisaya could see the two of them were talking and laughing while they dined, and seemed comfortable already.

Without another thought about it, Cisaya went to take the chair next to Eclipse, and gave him a short smile and nod. "Guess I'm late again, huh?"

"Indeed. At least you made it before the main course arrived." Eclipse said, acknowledging her back with a simple look.

"Ah so, how are you? Eclipse? Chisoku?" Cisaya looked towards the two of them.

"Damn annoyed. This weather is pissing me off." Chisoku growled, while he was stabbing at some meat with his fork. "And Dreymeil's making me house ANOTHER one of his toys. What the hell is this?" he scoffed, shooting a glare towards Dreymeil and Rosalie.

The two of them looked at Chisoku and laughed. "C'mon now Chisoku, you know Rosalie. She's been here before, remember?" Dreymeil chuckled.

"Meh, but that was only for a night. Why the hell is she staying this time?!" snapped the overlord.

"I'm sorry for imposing, but I really need to stay..." Rosalie spoke up, hardly intimidated by Chisoku's anger. "Besides, you've let Cisaya stay for a month, right? What's the difference between her and I?" she retorted.

Chisoku frowned, and glared from Rosalie to Cisaya. "Tch. That's 'cause... she's... she's..." The demon trailed off, not wanting to tell Rosalie the fact Cisaya was there to help them all with their curses.

"She also works here." Eclipse interrupted to finish Chisoku's sentence. "Cisaya's our new ambassador between Demons and Humans, and handles the social affairs for this kingdom now." the necromancer stated plainly.

"YEAH. What Eclipse said." Chisoku simply went along, even if he had no idea what Eclipse even meant. "She's got a reason for staying here, unlike you." he snarled.

"PFFFFT You guys are such bullshit." Dreymeil rolled his eyes, and looked across the table at Cisaya. "C'mon, you know the only reason you're here is 'cause I brought you~"

Cisaya looked at them all, caught between both sides. "Uh... Well... I guess..."

"So then since I brought Rosalie too, she deserves to stay as long as Cisaya does." Dreymeil concluded with a smile.

"Yup, that's right." Rosalie chimed. "I'm not going to bother you guys at all." she stated, referring to Chisoku and Eclipse. "I'll be with Dreymeil all of the time. You'll hardly know I'm here." she assured them.

Still frowning, Chisoku finally sat back with a scoffed. "Whatever. I don't care." he pretended to ignore her, and went back to devouring his food.

"If it's alright with Chisoku... I suppose it's fine with me as well." Eclipse sighed, seemingly indifferent to the whole thing.

Dreymeil and Rosalie finally turned to Cisaya expectantly. "And what about you? You don't mind her staying, right~?" the blue-haired demon smirked casually.

"Ah..." Cisaya looked up at them. "I think... it's really... great that she's staying..." she put on her regular happy expression for them.
Credit to Jay for Rosalie's name and history and stuff. I forgot to mention he came up with the idea for most of her character.
