Via sits there panting. Trying to get the wings to disappear again but they just won't budge, "No, no, no, this seriously can't be happening right now!" Via whispers to herself.
Gemerai knocks on the stall door, "Via? You okay in there?"
Via steadily climbs up the wall, "y-yeah! I just got the zipper stuck!"
"Do you want me to-"
"No! I mean, I'm good... I, uh, I got it. Just give me a sec," Via tried to think of something fast.
"Oh okay. Well Bonzy and River are going to go pay for their dresses. Leona and I will be waiting for you," Gemerai sits back on the bench and talks with Leona.
Via looked to the mirror, "Huh, I guess the seal is finally healed, but why would they come out and won't go back in? How am I going to hide them?" Via closes her eyes for a moment and thinks. When she takes the moment she remembers the telepathic channel Nino opened a while ago. Via sits criss cross on the small bench in the changing room. She relaxes her body with her back still straight and has her hands on her knees.
She takes a deep breath and focuses all of her energy into opening the channel once again. 'Nino, Nino, Nino,' she kept thinking, 'come on, pick up, pick up!' and then she heard a 'hello?' Via made a sigh of relief, 'Nino?'
'Via is that you? What's up? Usually you don't reach me this way. Is everythi-'
'Nino, I need your help. I'm in the mall at the shop called Fancy dresses and you. Don't ask. I'll show you when you get here. Please hurry, I don't want the others to get suspicious.'
'Okay, I'm actually already at the mall. Bottom floor, so, I'll be right up.'
'Okay, thank you.'
'See you in a few,' Nino closes the channel again.
"I wonder what's taking her so long?" Leona looks to Gemerai. Gemerai simply shrugs. They both look to their left as they hear feet quickly shuffling their way.
"Alright where is she?" She stands in front of them. They were about to ask but then Via sticks her arm out of the stall and pulls Nino in.
"Hi, um, as you can see, this situation is a bit dire. They won't go back in," Via talks in the lowest voice she can manage.
"What do you mean they won't go back in?"
"Exactly what I mean... I need something to cover them up with or somehow escape without anyone seeing me. Any ideas?"
Nino puts a hand to her chin, "Well, I could get my brother to bring a trench coat. That would cover most of your wings. And then we could tell the other two that you aren't feeling well again so you need to go home. That way you can just fly in the camouflage of darkness."
Via sits down, "That's actually not a bad idea. Let's go ahead and do that."
"Kay cool. Just give me a moment," Nino turns away from Via, 'Lucica!'
'Ah! What the hell Nino? What do you want?' Lucica responds.
'Would you mind doing me a small favor?'
'Why should I?'
'Because it involves the girl you like~'
Lucica's face turns a bit red, 'A-Alright... what does she- er, you guys need?'
'A trench coat please. How fast can you get here?'
'I'm at the food court in the mall hanging out with friends. Where are you guys?' Lucica stands up, "Hey guys sorry to cut this short but I gotta go. I've got a family emergency."
