Oti’s sudden snap out of silence sends you shuddering in shock! C-come again? Oh, you’re <span class="mu-b">ANTON PEAS</span>, by the way.
“This. Is. A. Problem.” He repeats with not nearly as much attitude as you expected! “Do we really need to drag this simpering sorcerer with us to Trimbault? Truly?”
You don’t ‘<span class="mu-i">need</span>’ anything, you sigh as you run a hand through your shaggy hair, well… except for food, of course. And air.
“... She’s a rogue element. And, from what you told me, a panicked one as-”
Oh, and water… and stable internal conditions. Homeo<span class="mu-i">something</span>...
“... A <span class="mu-i">panicked</span> one as well.” The mage grumbles with a dull flicker in his eyes! “You say she intends to run from Trier–what reason would she have to assist us in any way?”
Because you’re the reason she isn’t a viscera stain on Rezalith’s lips, you answer with a pointed glare! You know a cornered, defeated beast when you see one, okay? You worked retail!
“All the same, I doubt we’ll glean anything of use from her even as a shield,” The Chytree chirps glumly. “Don’t act surprised when she inevitably disappoints us.”
Whatever you say, <span class="mu-i">dad</span>. Turning your attention back to your host, you shift your weight a bit on the lavish couch you and Oti have been sitting on!
So, you begin with a fresh smile, about that favor…
Toppel Gransii sits across from you in what you assume is an equally-plush recliner–a fresh cup of Sugar Tea clattering in her trembling talons!
“Y-yes…” The Gnok stammers, still recovering from her unique look into your not-so-private conversation with Oti, “What can I do for you, hmm?”
Her Sanguiphage sibling tops your cup off with a dead stare in his glowing red eyes. Thanks, Obber.
