At sun do festival, Y/N, Johnny cage, Kung Lao, Kenshi, Ashrah, and Reptile are hiding in an alleyway with an unconscious quan chi in a festival outfit.

Y/N: Alright- so here's the plan. If we wanna get to that portal, we gotta be cautious. And most importantly- you will need to clear a path for me.

Ashrah: Why's that?

Y/N: Because if my sisters, li Mei, or the royal guards see me- they'll inform my mother and let her know where I am. She can't know I'm working with you guys until the time is right.

The group listens intently, taking in Y/N's words. Ashrah tilts her head slightly, puzzled by his reasoning.

Ashrah: Wait, your sisters? As in your family will be at the festival?

Y/N, slightly sheepish, nods in response to Ashrah's question. He looks a bit bashful, knowing that his family's presence complicates matters.

Y/N: Yeah, my sisters will definitely be there. My mother on the other hand is at the palace I think-

The group exchanges glances, realizing the potential complications this brings. Johnny frowns, already not liking the situation.

Johnny: Great, just what we need, a family reunion in the middle of a mission-

Reptile: Don't worry, I'll create a diversion.

Y/N: You sure you're up for it?

Reptile nods confidently, ready to take on the task.

Reptile: I've done this before, trust me. I'll create a big enough commotion that you all can slip away unnoticed-

Reptile suddenly turns invisible.

Y/N: What the- where did he- Ohhhhhh I forgot he could do that. Heh. Alright everyone- put on your disguise outfits.

They all put their disguise outfits on as Y/N looks at ashrah's outfit which makes him blush.

Ashrah: Is this what all edenians wear at festivals??

The group quickly dons their festival costumes, looking slightly ridiculous in their disguises

The group quickly dons their festival costumes, looking slightly ridiculous in their disguises. Y/N, however, is particularly taken aback by Ashrah's outfit, his cheeks turning slightly red as he looks at her. Y/N takes a moment to gather his thoughts before speaking.

Y/N: Um, well, not all, but edenians do tend to wear these types of outfits during festivals... Looks good on you, by the way-

Ashrah's cheeks flush a shade of red at Y/N's compliment. She can't help but feel a bit flustered, not used to such open praise from him.

Ashrah: Thank you... I'm not sure it looks good on me, though. I feel a bit exposed-

Y/N, realizing his comment might have embarrassed Ashrah, quickly backpedals, not wanting to make her uncomfortable.
