Is that a foreshadowing title I see-

Missing.

That's what had happened.

She just couldn't get a freaking break, could she?

First the insanely suspicious activity, mindblowing secrets exposed, several close calls, and now this.

Four hours ago.

They'd just gone shopping at the plaza, careful eyes on the watch, but losing eachother?

This was the worst.

The endless streets were beginning to look all the same to Lucinda.

Sure, perhaps it had been kinda her fault. 

But you couldn't reaaaallly, blame her.

Belladonna was the one material she'd been running out of.

Purchasing a cluster had taken time, and by then, she'd cursed the craft herself as she'd lost track of the group.

She'd found KC distractedly playing with a dangling dream catcher, the shiny feathers calling to her feline side.

Of course, Kawaii~Chan reluctantly slipped away, sulking with Lucinda from the exotic colors.

"Come on Kawaii~Chan." Lucinda sighed, hiding her exasperation through the breath. "We have to find the others. I don't like the idea of us two being out here alone in the plaza!"

"Kawaii~Chan understands that." KC stuttered. "B-but Kawaii~Chan just wanted to play with the feathers!!!"

"I know they can be pretty distracting. Especially for meif'wa. But let's get a move on gurl." Lucinda grabbed KC by the arm and dragged the squirming meif'wa a few feet away before letting go.

Kawaii~Chan's small, annoyed huff gladly told Lucinda she would be following.

After searching the vanity goods, they stumbled upon Garroth who was examining an intricately patterned bowl, crossed with skeptical lines that looked like ribbon and beautiful crystals decorating the rim.

"Do you think this would look good on a kitchen counter?" Garroth held up the bowl to their faces when he saw them.

"Where are the others?" Lucinda gently pushed the bowl away. "We got lost, and we're trying to find them."

"Last I checked, we all agreed to split into groups of three or four. Aphmau went with Aaron, Katelyn, and Jin. Sky, Ross, and Max trio-ed off somewhere I think, Sly, Satiel, and Castor left too. Me, Dante, Travis and Zane were wandering around here." He gestured to the busy market. "We thought you and KC left together."

"Quite the opposite." Lucinda said. "I found Kawaii~Chan getting distracted for some dream catchers, and I was caught up in trying to buy some Belladonnas." She opened the bag to show him the pretty purple flowers.

"Smells nice." Garroth noted, taking a whiff of Belladonna. "But answer the question." He held up the bowl again.

"It looks more like an antique than a fruit holder." Lucinda unsurely examined it.

"Yeah, you're right." Garroth said. "It wouldn't match anyway."

Setting the bowl down, he turned around to face a small crowd.

"Zane!" He shouted.

"I'm here, I'm here." Zane's blue eye remained visible like a sore thumb from the crowd.
