It ain’t your place to call the shots on Lamplighter matters… that’s Volka’s responsibility. You learned that much the last time you dealt with the Icers, at least! Based on how she’s looking your way, however, it would appear she’s opening up the floor for ideas…
Well, you begin as you make a show of rubbing your chin in contemplation, it would certainly be better than having them hang out here… however, you add with a twinkle in your eye, they’d probably have to be assigned <span class="mu-i">special</span> tasks based on all their experience… right, Volk?
It takes her a moment, but when the poor girl catches on she makes sure to send an appreciative grin your way!
“Y-yea! That’s right, Rook! Can’t let all that slum-crawling experience go to waste, but it ain’t gonna be easy, ladies!”
“Fine by us!” Barks Dilah with a stony expression on her one-eyed face!
“We <span class="mu-i">LIVE</span> for the tricky stuff!” Says her sister with a firm nod! “Don’t even think of goin’ easy on us!”
“Heh! We’ll see!” Smirks Volka as she rises back to her full height, “Okay, Rookies: we’ll get your enlistment figured out later today, but first thing’s first: your assignment is to scout our surroundings and secure the area around Mimut’s place! If there’s even a <span class="mu-i">TOTTA</span> within one-hundred paces I wanna know about it! Clear?”
“As <span class="mu-i">CRYSTAL!</span>” Reply the girls as they high-five each other! “We won’t letcha’ down, miss!”
“That’s <span class="mu-s">GRAND MARSHALL</span> to you!” The Skog corrects as she shoots you a surreptitious wink! “Now go on, make us proud!”
“Better hold tight, pal,” Vilah warns you with narrowed eyes, “We’re gonna climb this ladder all the way to the top!”
“An’ we ain’t gonna be nice when we pass ya’ on the way up!” Adds Dilah as the two slink into the shadows!
“Heheheh, watch out, Ant…” Warns TT with a sly look in her eye, “Durher pups operate on a whole other level, y’know…”
No kidding! With the matter settled for the time being, you turn your attention back to your initial job and knock on the Moleg momma’s door!
