"Unless you know someone else that could take your position? I was kind of thinking that you would want a child in the future like the others, right?" I asked as I took my drink and Elfinia sat down.
"I do, but I am not really sure if I am the one for this job. I can tell them to do something, but the speed that they do it is up to them. Force only works with Elves if there is something to push them up against. If I were to try to make them work faster, they would more than likely just not work and say that they have no need for the work. You would have to have something that you could offer them that would make them want to do the work," Elfinia said, and Listenia nodded.
"Elves are all about trade. If you had something of value that they wanted, then I'm sure that they would be willing to help in some way," Listenia said, and I nodded before finishing off my tea.
"Well, I may have something perfect, for that matter, if it works out the way I think it will. We will have to see," I said, and both of them nodded.
"When were you thinking that we would go back?" Elfinia asked, and I hummed.
"I think that tomorrow should be a good day for it. I would consider doing it today, but it is already lunchtime. Since I have you both here, maybe it was about time for another date?" I asked, and both Elves' eyes lit up.
"You really have time for that?" Listenia asked, and I nodded.
"Truthfully, I really don't have much to do right now. I am still trying to think of what to do with the Easterners; the Amazons, I am going to see later, but I think that they are in good hands. The food problem can wait till tomorrow, and everything else should take care of itself," I said, and Elfinia stood up.
"I am very impressed that you are starting to let other people do things. I was starting to get worried that you were going to be going non-stop. I think that we should go get ready. I heard that Silvy was opening a stand down in the market, so we should stop by to try the drinks she is selling," She said, and Listenia nodded but then looked back at me.
"I am not going to lie to you; this might take a bit. If you have something that you want to do for an hour, you might do well to do that for now," Listenia said, and I grinned.
"Part of me wants to say that we are just going out to get a bite to eat, but the other parts are telling that one that it has no idea what it is talking about," I laughed, and Listenia nodded.
"Things have been going quite well with mother since we all share the same bed, and she has opened up a lot more with me, and even others," she said.
"You know that I can hear you, right?" Elfinia sighed from the other room, and I smiled.
"I am just glad that you seem to be back to your old self, more or less. It also seems that you two have become really close, which is nice. I like spending time with both of you," I said, and both women blushed slightly.
"You charmer you," Listenia jokes, and I roll my eyes before getting up.
"I will let you two go get ready for our date, then. See you two in a bit!" I said, and Elfinia waved as I gestured for a portal to open to the Fae Island.
I stepped out into one of the gardens that Titania had led me through before. I hadn't marked her, and I knew that I could have just called her name to find out where she was, but that might not have gone over too well. I was pretty sure that she was still pretty upset with me for not coming to spend more time with her, and she had every right to be.
Cancer had made some valid points, and I was getting a little too absorbed in the culture of this world while spending less time with the ones that were important to me. I had all my memories back now, so it was high time that I showed the people that loved me just how much I still cared about them.

"Hello? You are a strange-looking creature, but I think that I have seen you before," A high-pitched voice asked me, and I looked around to see where the voice was coming from. "I am right here, you big silly!"
I flinched back in shock as a six-inch tall woman with wings flew into my face. This would be a fairy of some sort, but for such a small thing, she was quite the shapely looker.
"Hello, I must apologize for not knowing who you were. What is your name?" I asked respectfully, and the fairy smiled before introducing herself.
"I am Lorelei, one of the Fae Princesses. It is nice to meet you," she said, and I bowed my head in respect.
"It is an honor to meet you as well. My name is Galio, Cat God, and Thirteenth Zodiac. Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" I asked, and Lorelei nodded her head.
"That would be fine. Mother has actually been talking about you a lot lately! What do you wish to know?" She asked, and I took a moment to think before I spoke.
"Well, first off, where Titania is would be wonderful. Then anything that you know about the kingdom," I said, and Lorelei nodded.
"Follow me, and I will take you to see mother. Things have actually been quite peaceful, but that is thanks to mother uniting almost all the kingdoms under her," Lorelei said, and I smiled before following her.
