"So. Cowboys. We're going to cowboy land."
"yay cowboys =)" "Heh! Looks like you developed some good tastes." "Hey! Aren't we indulging Clover a little TOO much?" "Kiara, there's like three choices she could've picked." "Any would be good. The sun finally be visible again would soothe my mind."
"Wait." Seath raises his hand up to silence the crowd. His remaining eye is twitching with annoyance? rage? fear? Nothing positive that's for sure. Even Kiara, who not so subtly wants to go somewhere else first, is fine with your choice. "Which sub-district?"
"Uh. Otto gave me two locations she-"
"She?"
"-could be at. GAMMA-2 and GAMMA-3?"
Seath's body language turns FRIGID when he realizes who your target is. "Oh fuck. THAT 'she'. Okay, okay, I owe you this much for saving me."
"The hell's your problem?" Clover chortles at the sight of Seath's nervous squirming. "We rescued two already. She can't be that rough."
"One: She's a retard. I don't know if it's a diagnosed thing or what but she's dumber than rocks. Unpredictable to boot. Keep your guard up around her."
"Two: I have never convinced her to change her mind on something without SOMEONE breaking a bone. Convincing her SHE'S in danger and she needs to follow you? Feh. Be prepared to fight her if need be."
"Hm." You nod along to Seath's warning. "Yeah, I'll take that into account. I sorta picked her because I imagine she'd be the hardest."
"She will be."
As Seath and the rest make the long trek back to the station, you pull aside Clover for a brief moment. The cowboy shoots you a judging look and for a brief moment, you swear his yellow eyes shimmer and glow in the dusky 'light'.
You lean in to whisper to him.
"I’ll bring up some of the stuff we’ve seen here with Otto, damn the secrecy. We’ll be back here one day with proper funding. With what we know, I’m certain we can do a lot to fix this place."
Clover doesn't respond for the longest time. He silently reaches his hand out towards you. A handshake, huh? You grab onto his hand to give him a firm handshake.
"I'll hold you to it."
>+0.25 RAPPORT with Clover, thanks to BLOSSOMING HEART! NOW AT 5.75/10!
You rejoin with your allies not long after. You give Clover a quick summary on the entity you spotted and how you dealt with it. He silently nods along with the story, not really saying anything but not needing to. You can tell he appreciates what you did for it.

The seven of you soon arrive back at the train station. There wasn't really anything to note on your journey to the train station. You might've saw a spook or two in the swarming crowds but they seemed to go out of their way not to follow you. <span class="mu-b">As if they think it's a waste of their time right now.</span>
That worries you a bit but you're relieved to see Seath heading down to where the private first-class trains are.
>SEATH FOXTROT is secured and has left the party! He returned the armor you gave him.
It doesn't take long for your train to arrive!
