Okay, <span class="mu-i">OKAY</span>, you sputter as several pairs of shambling feet draw closer, you’ll pay, alright!?
Like a spell being broken, both girls are immediately cured of their crying fits!
“An’ excellent choice, sir!” Announces Vilah! “Knew you’d see reason!”
“They always do~” Adds her colleague with as toothy of a grin as she can muster!

“Heroes <span class="mu-s">DON’T</span> make kids <span class="mu-i">CRY!</span>” Tzah-Tzie hisses through clenched teeth! “Fix it!”
“Yea! Fix it, Rook!”
Great, now she’s got Volka on board…
