Lunagaron: "I can certainly use one myself. Maybe we should retreat to our respective dens for a bit and regroup?" Garangolm: "Sounds like a plan. I'll catch you guys later." Malzeno: "See ya." Lunagaron heads towards her den, feeling a bit relieved to have some time alone. She curls up in a cozy corner and lets out a contented sigh. However, her peace is soon interrupted by the sound of rustling leaves outside. She perks up, on high alert. She's not in the mood for any more drama today. But to her surprise, it's not a hunter or rival monster. It's her mate, a sleek and elegant Mizutsune. Lunagaron: "Oh! Hi there, my lovely." Mizutsune: "Hello, my dear. I sensed your unease and thought I'd come check on you." Lunagaron feels her heart flutter with warmth and affection. Lunagaron: "That's so sweet of you. I really needed this." Mizutsune: "Of course. I couldn't bear to see you upset." The two monsters cuddle up together and bask in each other's company, forgetting about their troubles for a while. In a world full of hunters and rival monsters, it's moments like these that remind them it's okay to let their guard down and appreciate the beauty of life.
