Onyx's 2nd Special, Part 2

"Greetings," Onyx calls to a few girls her age.

"Greetings, Lady Onyx," the say back. "It is an honor to talk with you in person."

"Why, thank you," she answers blushingly. "And your names?"

"I'm Luna," a girl as tall as Onyx is says.

"I'm Soma," the tallest girl says

"And I'm Nanna," the shortest girl says.

"Lady Onyx," Luna says, "you were so brave to fight off those Hunters in the forests. I can't imagine doing something like that!"

"I'm sure you could, Luna," Onyx says. "And it's okay to just call me 'Onyx'."

"Are... are you sure?" Nanna asks.

"Yes," Onyx says, giggling. "I prefer it to the formality of 'Lady'. Especially with just the four of us talking together."

"So Onyx," Soma says, trying out the casual way of addressing their hero, "what are you doing after Moonset?"

Onyx blushes as she remembers what she had told Noir and his friends, and hesitates to answer.

"I... I was going to... spend time with..."

"I get it," Luna says, smirking. "You're going to sneak away with the Star Dancers again, huh?"

Onyx smiles, and nods "yes".

The three girls giggle and crowd closer.

"What did you four do?" Luna asks with a naughty grin.

"Well... we..." Onyx is a little embarassed, and shrinks into her shoulders a bit.

Luna and her friends gasp, then giggle again.

"It was with all three of them, wasn't it?" Nanna asks, to which Onyx nods yes again.

The girls giggle a third time, and Soma moves closer.

"So if you're going to meet with them again," she says, "can we come, too?"

Onyx looks from girl to girl, her head still low between her shoulders.

"I... okay."

The girls celebrate with hugs of thanks, then take Onyx's hands.

"Take us to them!" Luna requests. "We want to meet them!"

Onyx brings her head back up, and smiles. She nods in the affirmative, and leads them to Taman's home.
