Lastly, Midnight stood up and gave Alice a soft hug. She knew that this was more important since Alice was lower leveled than all of them and she could hurt her. But even more, it showed the difference in their relationship. The party was family already but Alice was a calm and sweet person slowly becoming family. But this was not a deterrent at all. Alice smiled warmly and patted Midnight\'s head the same way Walker would. For Midnight, this meant the world. Alice was the first person outside of the family that had accepted her surprise dragonkin transformation. 

It was clear that Midnight was just as excited as the rest of them were. She was walking around on two legs and standing next to everyone. Due to her still being young, she was the shortest, but this just hid her might. Without a doubt, Midnight could be the most dangerous of the entire party when she was focused. Let alone when she managed to surprise attack someone. 

"First on the agenda! We need to get Midnight some real clothing. But I will say it now. She will be the cutest in the entire party so Gil needs to accept that." Remey threw a teasing insult at Gil who was about to jump to his own defense when Midnight decided that this was a great idea. She had her skeletal armor skill but hated that she couldn\'t wear the vibrant colors that the party did. She had adored the harvest festival costume and now she could wear things like that all the time. 

"And boys are not allowed. As long as Remey can help me walk there I am fine to go." Su was still visibly tired and there was nothing that anyone could do. Walker could cast as many healing skills as he wanted and Remey could feed her pitons until she popped, but Su needed the time to recover. Meaning she would be down for the count on the last day before they were leaving the city. 

"Yes. But you need better clothing too. I think your muscles got bigger." Remey was too excited to see that Midnight and Su had both gotten tougher and stronger. As far as she was concerned, they were both siblings anyways. "Alice, you are coming too, right?" Alice had not expected Remey to reach out to her but with an apologetic look, she nodded and left Walker alone. 

"I think we just got ditched…" 

"We did. But that\'s fine. Alice hasn\'t really spent time with Remey and I think she wanted to because she was interested in Remey\'s potions. She just never admitted it out loud." Walker was sure of this. 

"I wonder how everyone will adapt to Midnight being able to change forms now. Do you think it\'s because Su is human?" It was only natural that Gil would be curious as to why Midnight gained a skill that Walker had been clear was very rare and took years to reach for a dragon. 

"Well, I had to heal Su when she fell after catching Midnight. I\'m not sure if you saw it but her cheek got cut by Midnight\'s sharper scales. Midnight is usually very careful not to rub her sharper scales on us. But I think that made her share blood both ways. It\'s just a theory though. But this will be a good thing. It makes her look more impressive as a dragon champion. Exactly what she will need when we get to the royal dragon court." 

The point was valid and it made them both much more confident. "Sister will need to learn to speak properly now. She had been jealous that everyone could speak whenever they wanted. There was one day that she ignored me the entire time just because she wanted to learn my skills. But she didn\'t want to lose the chance to learn something better with the educationist title skill." Onyx felt sad that he wouldn\'t be translating and lamented it. Yet he was also proud to see how happy his older sister was. 

"Since the rest of us are alone, should we go and get some food?" Walker decided that since the girls were off bonding then it was time for the guys to do so. They had not done so in some time and it would be good to just relax. "By the way, how\'s Alma?" Gil tried to be defensive and hid it away but before they even made it to the dining room he was spilling everything to Walker. 

Idly floating in the sky while flapping his wings and absorbing the water elemental mana, Current watched the entire ritual and now saw Su and Midnight walking out of the mansion over a day later. His eyes bulged and he realized that changing the dragon culture was more than just a maybe. It was going to happen for the first time in generations. He memorized the very image of what he saw and closed his eyes to focus on his mana absorption. He needed to separate himself before he dedicated himself to such a cause.
