After Effie gave Kai a call and let him know that Sunny was alive and back in the real world, they spent a minute in awkward silence.
Sunny looked around, taking in the sight of his once pristine and orderly living room. Now, there were dirty dishes everywhere, as well as empty packets of take-out food… at least he thought that that was what they were, since he had never actually bought one before.
Effie was such a slob!
There were even several pieces of clothing thrown into a corner!
Speaking of clothing…
'Crap!'
"By the way, Sunny… when did you get this badass tattoo? A big, long snake no less! Makes a girl wonder…"
He sighed heavily, cursing the fact that he had not adjusted the Puppeteer's Shroud after summoning it back in the basement. There were no burns on his skin now, after all.
"...It's not really a tattoo. It's a magical serpent that helps me control and regenerate essence faster. Don't ask why it manifests as a tattoo, because I have no idea, really."
