INT. HEMIC'S HIDEOUT - AFTERNOON

HEMIC AND THE GANG SIT AROUND PLAYING CARDS WHEN THERE'S THE SOUND OF SCRATCHING AT THE DOOR.

[Nois]

What was that? Does anyone know about this place?

[Hemic]

Calm down. It's just Dolor.

[Snowpack]

How do you—?

[Hemic]

I told him where he could find me and how to scratch the door.

HEMIC WALKS OVER TO THE DOOR, OPENS IT AND DOLOR WALKS INSIDE.

[Dolor]

How humiliating.

[Hemic]

Hey, you're the one without hands.

HEMIC CLOSES THE DOOR AND REJOINS WITH THE GROUP.

[Hemic]

So what brings you out here?

[Dolor]

Madam Mare wanted me to fetch you all.

[Hemic]

You don't look very canine to me.

[Dolor]

I could bring you back dead. That's common with house cats, right?

[Hemic]

Calm down, snaggle puss.

[Dolor]

You can transport us there, Hemic? Let's not waste any time. I hate keeping her waiting.

[Snowpack]

Did she say what she wanted?

[Dolor]

I'm sure she'll tell you everything you need to know. That is if we ever get there to speak with her.

[Hemic]

Alright already. Guys, let's get going before the tabby coughs up a furball.

HEMIC WALKS OVER TO A MIRROR AND OPENS A PASSAGEWAY. THE GROUP THEN WALKS THROUGH THE REFLECTION WITH HEMIC WALKING IN LAST TO CLOSE THE PASSAGEWAY BEHIND HERSELF.

INT. GROTTO - AFTERNOON

THE GROUP WALKS OUT OF A MIRROR AND INTO THE GROTTO. DOLOR THEN GOES AHEAD OF EVERYONE ELSE AND LOOKS AT MAGNOLIA SEEING THAT SHE SEEMS DISTRAUGHT.

[Dolor]

Madam Mare?

[Magnolia Mare]

Nothing to worry about right now. Are they here?

[Dolor]

Yes, Madam.

THE GROUP STEPS FORWARD.

[Nois]

So, what's this all about?

MAGNOLIA GLARES AT NOIS.

[Nois]

Whoa.

[Dolor]

(To Nois)

She seems to be irritated. For your own safety, hear what she has to say then leave.
