Well Heck, you stammer as you and TT exchange gleeful glances, that’d be peachy, yea! Thanks!
“I’ll be sure to mention ya’ in the ballad once we crack the case!” Adds TT with a wink! “It’ll be only one verse, if I’m being honest, but-”
Wait, you frown, is she planning on writing a <span class="mu-i">ballad</span> about a guy <span class="mu-i">DYING</span>?!
The Durher slips you a look as if you’d just spit in her coffee. “Well not <span class="mu-i">yet</span>, but it pays to strike while the iron’s hot, Ant-”
What’s her <span class="mu-i">DEAL</span> anyways!? Seeing your gossamer-winged guide wince at your sudden outburst, you drop the question in favor of a quiet ‘<span class="mu-i">sorry!</span>’
“Nngh… no ballads, please…” Lila groans, her tiny face scrunched up in abject misery, “You’re Lamplighters-” She pauses to hover in front of Tzah-Tzie for a moment. “... well one of you is… That means Volka sees <span class="mu-i">something</span> in you, so…”
So?
The Veeti answers with a noncommittal shrug. “Yea, I don’t really care… I hate this town. You two can owe me, I suppose.” Nodding at her own idea, your sister in arms soars high into the air like a mosquito on a mission before looping back with an apology etched into her bedraggled expression.
“Right, you can’t fly… what a pain.” Forging a safe distance ahead of you, Lila tries her best to stay close, but it’s MUCH easier squeezing past rubberneckers when you’re basically the size of a flying pencil!
So uh, you mutter as you LIMBO underneath a party of Skogs, is she good?
The pixie pauses. “Curious. What does it <span class="mu-i">mean</span> to be ‘good’, exactly? Is it relativ-”
No, you mean is she okay? She was in pain the last time you saw her too!
“AND you were with those two kits all night!” TT helpfully adds! “Must’ve been rough!”
Lila responds with a slow blink. “Right… no, I just suffer from migraines.” She smiles. “At least there’s no light around to make it worse, hmm?”
That sucks, you reply, your… well, <span class="mu-i">someone</span> you remember used to get those! Does she know what causes them?
“Just a side effect.”
Of what?
“<span class="mu-r">PSYCHIC POWERS.</span>”
