A Sweet Escape

[Essent Rose Allison]

Essent yawned, stretching her arms out and lying down on the couch. It has been a long day for her. So much going on, so many things seen... She brought her good friend/partner back to life. She managed to created a home for herself and him to live together. The view is amazing since it's along the beach. There is a bunch of science to do on the floors below. Man, who knew the Omniverse would give her quite the second chance? It was awesome. Less awesome since Chunky is here. Well, she can only hope that someone that she fought him with, like Mirion, Fate, or Hitsome could be here as well. If one of them is here, then she has a chance. Not that she likes fighting. Sure, she understands the thrill of it but, well, fighting isn't her forte.

Essent thought about the day she had, her eyes slowly closing. Another yawn was let out before Essent eventually succumbed to her fatigue. Her breathing was steady and she was nice and curled up. Ethan came in and noticed her sleeping. He figured she would eventually. He went into one of the two bedrooms to grab a blanket. He exited the room with it and went over to place it over Essent. She moved a bit, her hands unconsciously grabbing the blanket to hold it closer. Ethan smiled, holding his hands behind his back. Though he did pat Essent's head gently to not wake her up. Then again, she sleeps through anything.

The TV was still showing off the adventures in Dante's Abyss. Ethan grew curious and began to watch it, his arms resting on the back of the couch. These guys fight for fun, huh? For competition? Sounds like the Fist Users back home. Not Essent, though... She did fight for her life, yeah. But he knows that she doesn't favor it. The young man went ahead to sit on the floor in front of the couch. This was somewhat interesting, though, seeing all these people fight each other... To the death it seems. Why is it broadcast then, if they are dueling to their demises? Seeing as Essent explained the Omniverse stuff she knew to him earlier, they probably get brought back to life. Make sense.

Ethan watched until he decided to turn it off so Essent can have a quiet sleep. He went to his hobby room to gain some inspiration for painting. Surely there can be something he can paint to practice various techniques... Maybe he can just do something random. With that in mind, he grabbed a paintbrush and a pallet and began to make some neat strokes. It won't be a masterpiece, he knows this, but it will be something to keep his mind going. A stroke of blue paint across the bottom, adding black to make it darker as he adds more strokes. A sea, perhaps? That's a good idea... So he continued.
