Sitting on the picnic mat, Ophie rubbed her tails, making hissing sounds as she smoothed out the tip, flattening the blades with her fingers. Sonata walked over with Alice in one hand, her other hand outstretched as an offer to help. Ophie accepted the help to get back to her feet. "You feeling okay?" She asked, her fingers lingering with a gentle touch. "He had it worse than me." Ophie pointed at Cal who was already grinning, raring to go despite the wound on his shoulder. Demons healed quickly, they were sturdy after all. Angels were a bit more delicate but Ophie didn't take much damage from the sparring match. "Why don't we all go to Paris together after eating?" Sonata suggested. "We can show her our cute new friend Alice!"
Cal unveiled the lunch sandwiches at the picnic table after Baron Pierce was called away and Ophie begrudgingly took her favorite spot as far from the sun as she could, because the bright noon sun hurt her sensitive eyes if it went into her retinas. "I'm excited. It's been a while since I visited Paris." Paris was known as the Paradise for demons, both before and after Baron Messiah took over and became the Demon King. "I wanna buy a scrying orb or something from her." Calciferous said, bouncing his leg as he ate the sandwich. Sonata was feeding Alice with enthusiasm, naturally as someone like her would. "You keep wasting your money on those orbs." Ophie took a scalding tone as she sneered, nibbling on a lettuce sandwich. "You'll never find Baroness Nova with them, she's probably long dead now." Cal shook his head, fiery passion in his eyes.
"I know she's not dead. She took Baroness Zinnia with her, I'm sure they're both just out there, waiting to be found again." Ophie rolled her eyes at his jubilance. "I believe in my old friends." Cal looked down at his hands, a distinct frown on his face where there was usually a confident smile. "The witch Zinnia and Baroness Zinnia are two different people." Sonata explained helpfully to Alice, who didn't know these things. "We're visiting the witch Zinnia, if we're all finished eating?" Ophie was already done, she couldn't stomach demon food much anyways. The drop of human blood in everything really wasn't all that appetizing. "Let's go, Baron Pierce wouldn't want us to be late." She scribbled a little note down so Baron Pierce would know they all went together.
Sonata was happy to be holding Alice, showing her the sights as they walked down the cobblestone road that would lead them to Paris itself. There was plenty of wildlife and animals to teach Alice the names of. Bunnies, birds, even a deer here and there poking it's head out from the thick woods. "There's Paris." Cal pointed to the tall tower you could see in the distance. "That's the Eiffel Tower. Baron King Messah spends most of his time there." It had become a castle, a home for Baron Messiah and hist most trusted cohorts whenever they came to visit. Baroness Anguis and Vaswald and Baron Eudaikos were among the honored guests that had special rooms for themselves. "You're Baron Pierce's property, so no one will bother you." Ophie murmured to the stinky human, watching as passerby demons eyed Alice, almost as if they were sizing her up.
