(( xD; I was originally going to say that I didn't mind the long replies, even though mine probably weren't going to be as long. Boy, how I was wrong! So now shall toss a long one back at you~ Just know, I love reading about both of them and how they behave together~ <3))
"Thank you," she spoke again, this time as Kina prepared her tea and placed it before her. At the time she made no move for it, waiting for it to cool, and preferring stronger tea over weak. Her flavor palette, in particular, preferred strong tasting foods and drinks; something, which, no doubt, would be enhanced through her pregnancy for the next handful of months.
As the female demon spoke, Lolita was careful to store every bit and piece of information away, even that which didn't include what they had come here for. Being unable to fully exchange everything with Kurohi prior to their arrival, any mentioning of him continued to peak her interest more and more, her curiosity no doubt evident to to him through their bond, while Kina was likely to pick up on it through the sparkle in her eyes. "I see," she commented, idly. In the sense of sociability, her kind was the opposite of demon kind, though her kind had never bothered to meddle with any other kind, save for the mortals that the resurrected in combat. Even then, the fairies were not permitted to show themselves to the mortals, less they put themselves in immediate danger. Some glimpses of them had been seen, over time, though, which left them revered as something akin to Gods. No other logic had come to the men as to why they would be killed and brought back to life over and over again.
"I imagine that isn't particularly his fault." The woman interjected gently, though with presence. No, Kurohi hadn't told her about his childhood any of the like, but she had to casually defend him. If what they said was true, then there had to be a reason for it, and she doubted it was something which he could have had control over at the time. "In all respects, my childhood wasn't conventional either." At least, not conventional by most standards.
"That is correct, I didn't come from this... Spirit World, of which you speak. Though I cannot say just what my world was referred to. It never occurred to any of us to want to know..." Beneath the mask, her delicate eyebrows furrowed together. They were far too busy, endlessly, with their tasks of 'respawning,' to be bothered with trivial facts. She nodded her head to Kina's second question as well. "Yes. I can sense both of them from you, but I cannot read a date or cause of death for either of you; a date that you came into existence, yes, but not a death in sight. You're a very interesting case, though, aren't you?" With her question, she wore a smile. "You have more than one set of hands on that clock of yours. It's quite intriguing."
From all that she could gather, despite the difference in their kind as a whole, the fairy found that she and the demons had more in common than she had expected. Perhaps, then, Kurohi was her perfect match. She gave a glance to him, smiling faintly. Though, at that point, it was difficult to read what she was thinking on expression alone. "Oh, um, yes. That works well enough. Being a unique case, there is no way to say exactly how this is going to go, we can only assume, make educated guesses." Yes, Lolita was probably every bit of nervous that Kurohi was, but another part of her remained incredibly calm and rational, which she tried to project to him more than anything, if only to bring him some comfort. "Please do not worry so much. I know that you'll be beside me, and that is enough." His words, however, brought comfort to her. While she had already experienced two pregnancies, three births in total, the first a set of twins, as well, she could still recollect the fear that wracked her during the first. It had been unlike anything else, filled with uncertainty, an incredible lack of knowledge, and she had been entirely alone. On more than one occasion, her first pregnancy was the cause of several break downs.
Her gaze returned to Kina, not openly acknowledging that she had allowed the other demon to witness something that Kurohi had probably intended to be a little more private. "I do not mind telling you about myself and what I can of my kind, but I cannot think of any other pressing questions to ask of you at this time. Perhaps I will save the favor for later?" Carefully, she stirred honey into her tea, though she ignored the milk. "Kurohi, how do you like your tea?" Not missing that he had gone and ignored his tea, she figured that she may have had a better chance at getting him to drink it. Maybe.
Before speaking further, she took a long sip of her own tea, the warmth of it feeling wonderful, and then she jumped right in. "Surprisingly, as far as things go, my kind seems to hold much in common in terms of having children." Lolita was explaining this for both Kina and Kurohi. "Any child of my kind, seemingly regardless of what they are mixed of, have always aged at an incredible rate, mentally and physically. In terms of my kind, it may not even take two years for them to reach young adulthood, physically, though they never do stop learning - we absorb knowledge like no other. Our powers almost always seem to pass onto our children. To which degree, it can vary, but I am nearly sure that they could almost fully inherit my powers, even if not... consistently usable, on top of what they receive from Kurohi."
"In my world, at least as far as I know, there were only two kinds of... people. There were the Respawn Fairies, which were all female, and human soldiers, which were all male. Our world was wrought with a never ending war. The soldiers would die over and over again, while my kind resurrected them over and over again without normally being seen. My kind did not take sides. We were unbiased and, for the sake of our sanity, entirely unfeeling." Lolita paused for a moment, bringing the cup of tea back to her mouth, such action used as an excuse to gather her thoughts.
"I have never spoken a word about my world to anyone else, save for my children," she reveled, closing her eyes. "I once spent a lot of time trying to forget everything..." The memories were painful and, to this day, that remained the same. As she spoke now, she had fallen back to her old ways, attempting not to feel, in order to not relive the pain.
"I was born and raised inside what we called 'the compound,' which no Respawn Fairy ever left unless it was breifly to revive a fallen solider. I do not know the name of my mother or whom she even was, for every one of my kind that was born was raised by everyone within the compound. Having children was primarily considered a means for the survival of our race and done for our own practicality. I've never witnessed one in love, though some fairies would make partners amongst themselves for the sake of it. Occasionally, one fairy would fall in love with a solider and dedicate her time specifically to reviving him, though the feelings were unrequited, even if she stole his DNA at one point to birth his child. Our existence was not supposed to be known. Though, eventually, enough accidents happened that we were seen here and there, and they began to consider us as gods."
"Our lifespans are long. It seemingly impossible for us to die of age. Consider that we could also revive other fairies if they died accidentally, which would make it seem as though our kind would become overrun. A fairy could choose to die, if she could no longer stand witnessing death left and right of her, day in a day out from the time she was old enough to walk. Many, before making that choice, would go outright insane, and they would have to be killed out of mercy." Witnessing such a thing was almost a day-to-day thing for her kind. Someone was always ready to give up their pathetic excuse for a life. "A Respawn Fairy can take life just as easily as she can give it."
