Pleasant as it’s been, you should probably check in with the other resident grump before he does something <span class="mu-i">wizardy</span>. Relaying your idea to Rezalith, the devil responds with a noncommittal shrug! “Tell that mouth-breathing creep that if he doesn’t let me out of here I’m gonna redecorate this whole place with his entrails!” She blinks. “No… make that <span class="mu-i">blood</span>. He probably doesn’t have that many entrails.”
Yea, you’ll get right on that, you respond with a nod! Taking a few steps in the direction you <span class="mu-i">think</span> your pals went, you glance over your shoulder at the girl one last time! Y’know, once you figure out this potion situation she could-
“I’m not joining your little <span class="mu-i">HAREM</span>, An<span class="mu-s">TARD</span>,” Rebukes Rezalith, “So don’t even ask!”
Fine, you shrug, if she doesn’t wanna team up to mess with RED’s plans and get her powers back, well-
Your statement is cut short by a sudden choking sound! “Tch! I never said no to that!” Turning around to find the girl standing right behind you, you respond with a genial smile! Cool! Rezzie averts her gaze with irritation fresh on her face!
“Y-yea, well… I’ll <span class="mu-i">THINK</span> about it…but that’s it!”
Leaving her to her own angsty devices, you allow yourself a sigh of relief as you emerge from an encounter with a devil relatively unscathed, but also manage to pick up the distant sound of people talking!
AAand one of them sounds <span class="mu-i">really</span> mad… hoo boy.
Breaking into a brisk jog, you find Volka and Tzah-Tzie watching as a VERY irate Oti hovers around the lab that you assume used to be his cage! Upon hearing you approach, however, the moody mage swoops in for a hug!
Wait, that’s not a hu-
<span class="mu-s">OOF!</span>
“About <span class="mu-i">TIME</span> you arrived!” Snarls the sorcerer as you pick yourself up off the floor from the flying kick! “Did you have a restful morning?! I certainly didn’t!”
Would it <span class="mu-i">KILL</span> people to be nice to you!? You just negotiated his safe passage, thanks! The Chytree’s eyes flicker for the briefest of moments.
“Where is it? Did you trap the devil? If it breaks free again-”
Yea, uh… she’s… she calmed down, you reply as you take a preemptive step backwards! And she said she isn’t gonna do that anymore, so-
Oti sends you a stare that could make a plant wilt! “How <span class="mu-i">WONDERFUL</span>--it said it wouldn’t do it anymore! Well that certainly puts my mind at ease-”
Look, you groan, you just talked her down from turning this place into quasidimensional rubble–if he’s so darn powerful he can just magic her butt outta’ here–she doesn’t want to stick around! Frowning at the interruption, the sorcerer relents with a sigh and a shrug! “... I suppose you’re right…” Shifting his bulbous gaze downwards, the mage mutters something under his breath: “<span class="mu-i">You’ve done me a good service…</span>”
Woah, WHAT!?
>CONTD.
