Moonspear never gonna give you up

Hydra's firm words of wisdom were more reassuring than anything. Something that'd been fluttering around in her chest finally found a perch, and Alya bumped her head against the dark girl's chest in relief and gratitude. Still, there were two blessings she needed to acquire before she could feel comfortable setting off.

Alya moved to tuck her neck against Lyra's in a canine hug, hating to see the girl so sad. "I won't go, if you really can't stand to have me gone," she said softly. "We're the Cerberus first. But I'll always come back when you need me - you know I'll feel it. And you know you'll always be able to find me."
