Quoted By:
Joe makes a fire with the firewood you found and you all sit around it while the sky gets dark. Joe reaches into his backpack and pulls out the paper sack and everyone eats some more sandwiches. You look around at the cliff but you can't see Onlion anymore.
Lottatax lies down on his side and stretches out with his underbelly in front of the fire and says "Lottatax!" and closes his eyes and goes to sleep!
Tamounda says "Tamounda!" and curls his tail around him and then closes his eyes and says "Tamounda..."
It seems like Ramster is already asleep too!
You lie down next to Tamounda and close your eyes for a moment.
...
When you open your eyes it's darker out because the fire isn't very big! You sit up and look around at Lottatax and Tamounda and Ramster sleeping.
"Joe?"
When you whisper Joe's name you look around and then you see <span class="mu-r">a shape</span> standing at the edge of the firelight! Joe turns his head and looks at you and you stand up and walk over to him and look up at him.
What? You think Joe has a strange expression on his face? Well, why don't you ask him what's wrong?
"What's wrong, Joe?"
"Hmm?" Joe looks at you and then looks back at the campfire. "I was just thinking about some things. About my sister. And about you."
What? Joe was thinking about you? Do you think he's upset because of you?
"I'm sorry, Joe!"
When you say that, Joe gets a different strange expression on his face! Suddenly Joe reaches out and takes your hands in his hands! You can't help <span class="mu-r">your cheeks</span> turning red! As soon as your cheeks turn red Joe lets go of your hands and then looks at his hands and looks at you and says "You shouldn't be sorry. None of this is your fault. It's just that..." Joe looks up at the night sky and then looks at you again. "I'm never sure if I'm doing the right thing."
You're nodding your head! It seems like Joe has a lot of responsibilities!
"Fort Brass has a mon fighting arena. I'm thinking of looking around for a mon to capture so we can earn some money to pay for the train ticket." Joe looks at you for a moment and then says "You might have to go inside <span class="mu-r">the cutécaptor</span> again."
You don't know what to say! Even though it's nice being inside the cutécaptor, you don't know if you want to go back inside it!
When you look back at Joe he looks up and says "It's almost midnight. I'm going to see what I can find around here."
>Go with Joe to look for a wild mon (roll 1d100)
>Go back to the campfire and wait for Joe
>Ask Joe to come back to the campfire
