(The Next Day, Scarabia Dorm)
"Hello, gentlemen, mind if we pop by", Azul asked, walking up to a group of students
"Good GRAVY, it's hot here, feels like the middle of summer", Floyd muttered
"You're the Octavinelle guys who gave us a thrashing last night", a student stated
"What do you want with Scarabia", another student asked
"Permit me to apologize for what transpired last evening", Azul said, "it looked as though you were bullying defenseless animals, I stood up for them out of the goodness of my heart; but after I heard their story... it became clear to me that the two Ramshackle residents were thieves who had made off with Scarabia's magic carpet; once I realized my mistake, I took personal responsibility for the matter, I apprehended the criminals and I came here to return the magic carpet to its rightful owner",
"It ain't fair, I tell ya...", Grim muttered
"Grim", Evelyn warned in a hushed voice
"Well, um...", a student began
"Thank you for the... help", another student said,
"Guys, it's about time for morning training, if you're late, Kalim will...", Jamil began, observing the Octavinelle trio and Grim and Evelyn, shock appearing on his face
"Why, Jamil, hello there, how are you", Azul asked
"Azul Ashengrotto... and the Leech brothers as well, what are you doing here", Jamil asked
"Our home isn't the most hospitable place in the wintertime", Jade stated
"So, we spend our holidays in the dorm", Floyd said
"Wh... what", Jamil asked
"By the way, where might Kalim be, I'm here to return his magic carpet to him", Azul asked
"Er, ah... if you need to deliver something, I'll take it to him", Jamil stated
"Oh, but I insist, this magic carpet is a legendary artifact on par with national treasures", Azul explained, "if it were discovered to be damaged later, Octavinelle would be held liable, we can't have that now, can we, I would prefer to hand it to Kalim in person and have him assess its condition firsthand",
"Kalim wouldn't care even if it was damaged, let me take it off your hands, ok", Jamil asked
"Worry not, I won't even ask for my standard twenty percent finder's fee", Azul said
"Consider that our way of apologizing for our uncouth behavior towards Scarabia last night", Jade asked
"We also brought a seafood pizza as a little present, you wouldn't want it to get cold, would you", Floyd asked
"The point is, I would MUCH prefer to deliver it in person, he's awake by now, I trust", Azul asked
"No, really, he's not feeling up for any", Jamil began, only for him to walk into the dorm, "hey, you can't just barge in, Azul",
"Shall we, Evelyn', Jade asked
"We shall", Evelyn said
'You better keep up", Floyd teased as the four walked into the dorm, right behind Azul, Kalim was standing in the lounge when Azul walked up to him
"Oh, hey, Azul, what brings you to our dorm", Kalim asked
"Hello there, it's nice to see you, Kalim", Azul greeted, "goodness me, Scarabia never fails to impress me every time I visit; it's a veritable winter wonderland outside, yet in here, the sun's so hot that it might as well be midsummer; you would have vacationers coming in droves if you opened up a resort here, it's an ideal location",
