"Thereā¦that's everything," Macarona remarked in satisfaction, having confirmed that she had everything she brought with her and also purchased here in the underworld over the weekend. Saying so, she collected her things and put her jacket on since it was raining outside. Her business and fun now finished, she picked up her things and joined Lil as the two of them headed out in the hall to meet up with the others. Only Reficul and Mercury were absent because they already went down to the main hall because the older angel was finished packing her own stuff as well, plus the staff and the Devil were helping her get all the equipment and things her team took on the mission.
"You both have everything, right?" Rane checked with them as the demon and angel gave her a nod to answer her. Of the guests who stayed over, the spider demon didn't collect her things yet despite having already packed it all up because she was going to come back for it later as she'd been asked by Sin to escort Rosaliya, Lil, and GriRea to a point where portals to their own worlds were located. One had also been established for the Gray Garden, but it was in the other direction.
Lil smiled. "Yep, everything's all set. I've got all I need with me right here."
"Don't forget my own luggage as well, Lil," the Queen commented to remind her of that.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, I'll be your pack mule again," the vampire demon joked and made sure she also gathered the suitcases Her Majesty brought with her for the weekend.
"You should know by now to fulfill such obligations, Lil," Rosaliya uttered blandly.
"So what if she's the Queen? I'm not her slave for manual labor," Lil retorted playfully.
"So you're all beginning to leave now, is that right?" Mercury asked, having walked up to them to say goodbye because everything was prepared and she was now ready to leave as well. "I have to get going too, so I'm here just to give my farewells to all of you and wish you a good day."
"Goodbye, Mercury, it was such a pleasure having you over," Sin remarked, slithering over to the older angel and giving her a warm hug which Mercury returned. "Good luck handling Elux."
"Thank you, I certainly hope everything goes well when I report what happened to her. She will definitely be suspicious because she may not believe part of it, but hopefully she'll tone down a possible assault that might get all of you caught up in her foolishness," Mercury stated and began to walk off as everyone said goodbye to her. Some of them waved and the older angel turned back to wave at them before leaving. "I know it's unlikely, but I hope we meet again sometime."
Macarona smiled at her. "Indeed, it'd be great to see you again if possible," she said as the older angel exited the corridor before the younger one turned to Sin. "Where's Ms. Reficul?"
"Oh, she's going to head on over to the border with Mercury," the snake demon explained. "She'll be shadowing her from a distance to ensure Mercury gets into her heaven safely. It's such a shame she isn't here to say goodbye in person, but she asked me to deliver the message for her."
"Well, be sure to tell Reficul we also give her our regards and said goodbye to her too," Lil remarked as they all began to head down into the foyer and out the front entrance where two horse drawn carriages were waiting to pick them up. Rosaliya and Rane got into one while the other four boarded the second carriage before beginning the short ride to the train station where they got off.
"It looks like this is where we split up now," Rosaliya stated once they disembarked to find the trains had already begun to arrive as well. "I suppose this means goodbye for now, Macarona."
"Indeed, I hope we see each other again someday, Rosaliya," Macarona commented as she shook hands with the Flower Devil and bowed before her and the others as a gesture of respect. "I will miss you all." She smiled and giggled as the vampire demon embraced her in a friendly hug.
"Oh, I'll miss you too, my new angelic friend!" Lil replied happily while the angel returned the gesture. "I'm so looking forward to an opportunity to visit the Gray Garden sometime soon!"
"Certainly, you'll be more than welcome to come anytime you want."
"It was a pleasure meeting you, Macarona," GriRea stepped forward once Lil broke away from the young angel when Her Highness lightly tapped her with the fan. "You really are a unique angel, and I believe you can accomplish great things for your world, just like your ancestor."
Macarona shut her eyes again and bowed once more. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am most honored by your praise for it truly means a lot to me. I wish you well ruling the underworlds."
"Goodbye, Macarona, I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know you and your world," Rane uttered as she and the other three all gradually began to head onto one train.
"Same here, Rane, it was a pleasure getting to know you too," the young angel responded to her as the group sauntered up a flight of stairs to cross a short bridge down to the other platform so they could board the train after saying their goodbyes to Macarona and Sin.
"Looks like it's about time for us to be going as well, Macarona," the snake demon stated and joined the angel as the two of them boarded the other train going in the opposite direction.
"It certainly is," Macarona agreed, getting on while they both found a cabin for themselves and sat down across from each other. "I must say it was so much fun being here. Having the chance to make friends in other worlds is something I wouldn't want to pass up, and I'm glad to have been invited here. Thanks for the invitation, Sin, you really were a great hostess to everyone."
"Thank you, dear, it was a pleasure having you over," Sin responded. "I know Refi's been having a hard time with you staying over, but I'm just glad everything else worked out perfectly."
"Yep, I truly had a lot of fun and enjoyed my time in your underworld. I'm sure everybody back home is wondering what this place is like and what I've been doing here this weekend. What I loved most of all was being able to make several new friends during my stay here. It was a blast!"
"Yes, indeed it certainly was," Sin agreed, sighing peacefully as the train started to depart. "Of all the times I've gotten together with my friends, this weekend was by far my favorite because I got to introduce you to the others and have fun with all of you. It might not have been perfect as Refi was pretty afraid of having you over for the weekend, though it was still so amazing anyway."
Macarona nodded in agreement, grateful to Sin for the invitation and to the others for their friendship as well. "Yeah, it truly was," she remarked, recollecting everything that happened. She was looking forward to sharing her stories with everyone else, and couldn't wait to share them.
