"What in the world is going on here?" Layla demanded, pausing. "...Ja... net... no way. You can't possibly... are you Janet Howlet?" she asked, her eyes widening in surprise.

Both girls look at each other, and back to you.
"I am." The redhead said getting up. "What of it?"

Layla
The blonde lowered her sword.
"...You may not remember me all that much. You were but kids when we last saw each other, but... I am Layla? Layla Heartfilia? I was a very good friend of your mother. You were friends with my daughter Lucy?" she explained.

"That's impossible!" The brunette yells. "Layla has been dead for 14 years."

Layla
"Impossible? With magic, Devil fruits, advanced technology, dimensional travel, other universes and so on?" she asked, smirking. "Most definitely not impossible. Unlikely, at best", she remarked.
"I was dead, yes. And then your brother Travis, who also survived, alongside with James, and the friends they made since, performed a ritual to use the body of another woman - an insane, dangerous pirate, mind you, so no big loss there - to bring me back to life", she explained. "I have the memories, knowledge, skill and powers of both, but my mind, personality and other mental attributes are dominant."

Both twins look back and forth at each other. They then walk up to you, and... grope your chest.

"H-Hey! What's the big idea?" she protested, blushing a little.

"Yep. She's telling the truth." Clara said only for both daughters to be beaten down with a boiling pan.
"Stupid little girls." Henrietta chided.

"...Also, your mother - or rather her ghost - is with us as well, and we're sort of pretty much in a relationship together", Layla noted.

"That still doesn't explain why you two attacked here?" Travis began. "Explain."
"We were contracted to finish the assassination of Lady Phenex." Clara said. "The Village hidden in the Flesh knew there were two Fae'Rhal guarding the area so we were sent to have the best chance."
"And why did you molest Erica?"
"That was just for fun." Clara said smirking.
"Okay. I've heard enough." Travis said drawing his sword only to be restrained by Henrietta. "Let me go dammit! I refuse to accept these degenerates as my blood!"

Layla
On one hand, Layla was hoping for Henrietta's sake that her family could get back together as it should have been. On the other, given what her second daughter had endured, she had little mercy in store for molestation and sexual abuse, and wasn't exactly against Travis' point of view. It was not her place to decide what should be done about the girls, but she certainly wouldn't mind setting certain boundaries.
"...Let me make something very clear. Lady Phenex is under our protection. You try anything against her, I *will* stop you. And if you try to do anything 'fun' like this again without a person's consent, I assure you I will make you regret it", she warned.
She did not take a stand regarding whether or not Travis should accept or spare them, however, as this was more of an Howlet family matter than one of hers. 9 in Statecraft (Intimidate) to make my point across. No touching a hair on Lady Phenex's head, and no unwelcome molesting tolerated.

"I will take full respobsibility for their behavior. They will not hurt anyone here." The ghost said as Travis sighed and sheathed his blade.
"Excuse me?" Janet asked. "Don't we get a say in all of this?"
Clara nodded. "We can't just abandon the village that raised us."
Just then an arrow with a note attached to it landed at your feet. It read. "They're YOUR problem now."

Layla
Layla read the note, and showed it to them. "...Looks like the village can't say the same about you. I'm sorry", she said, nodding, as she sheathed hed sword as well. "...If Henrietta tells me you'll behave, then I trust her. Nice to meet you both, I suppose", she said with a nod.

"Alright, everone back inside." Travis said.

Layla
Layla took Henrietta aside. "...As a side note, I want you to know I very much trust you on handling those two, but I still want to very much emphasize how mandatory it is to me that they do NOT do anything to my daughter she doesn't want to be done to her", she said, clearly referring to Lucy 2. "I do not want to find out how I would react if anyone were to hurt her this way again."
