You see the door open up. A glimmer of hope. And your hope is very well true. It's Ember. She has a small limp. Her face badly bruised. One eye swollen shut. A wing ripped.
"How di- POWERLESS!" She shouts suddenly. Suprised. Picking you up and hugging you. It felt like she was squeezing hard enough that you'll end up pooping your guts out.
Mas suddenly wakes up. "Five more minutes....." he says in a dreary mumble before falling asleep again. Hugging the air.
"Isn't that the dude who works at The Briar Noir? Powerless you weren't there, were you?" She sets you down looking oh so disappointed. Not that you knew what it was.
"Little f-"
"Cherry, think of your next word very carefully." Carmen scolds.
"Little freak's ride intercepted my drug operation. Had to shut them down." Cherry finished.
"Thank you for returning him. May I invite you to a spot of tea?" Ember offers with a smile.
"You should go to the hospital..." Calvin shook his head in concern.
"And? Don't you have that one condition that only affects dwarves and is literally killing you?" Glares Ember.
"Touché." He shook his head. Ember was walking to the back room.
"Stay, I'm calling Luna. Tell me when Mas wakes up." She states with a grin.
"Why?" You query.
"We're going to use the combined powers of Mas, Marvin, and Cathy to bring the entire group to our place. Well. The hide out. So they don't get that exasperated." She points at Mas. Continuing on her walk. Till she disappeared.
And everyone continued to look at each other. Waiting. Wondering. What will happen next.
