(I forgor.)

"Great. We'll need more money, then..." Jeanne said with a sigh, gently rubbing the bridge of her nose in acute agitation.

Erebus reached in his armor, and pulled a black bag. Upon opening said bag, it had lots of expensive coins and was very heavy. "Here," he said, handing them over to Jeanne.

Siglos glanced up at Jeanne for a moment, before taking a soft, shaky breath.

“…I…still h-have s-some money l-left o-over f-from some…p-precious s-sales. I…I c-can afford t-to give y-you some, i-if needed.” He said quietly.

"Go ahead boy." he said.

((wait edited my comment cuz I typed the wrong word by mistake-))

 

[azontr]

(goofy.)

Jeanne breathed out, "I... appreciate the offers, but, I don't need that much, you two."

 

[Backbackback]

(goofy.)

Jeanne breathed out, "I... appreciate the offers, but, I don't need that much, you two."

Erebus simply nodded, and put back the bag in his armor.

 

[azontr]

Jeanne let out a breath, "Aegis is big, but, not impossibly big... I'm sure we can simply take some time to walk, if teleportation is outside of the budget..."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos hesitated for a moment, before slowly nodding.

"...W-we...a-already n-need t-to pay for our...housing. W-we...s-shouldn't spend t-too much...w-without any r-revenue..." Siglos muttered.

 

[Lou_change]

Khedruki speed walks out the inn mumbling. "We need a plan Chim. We have learned no new info on sol, nox, or the other leads and still haven't had breakfast."

 

[azontr]

(Lou what tf are you talking about.)

 

[Lou_change]

(exiting the current narrative.)

 

[azontr]

(Disgusting. But okay.)

 

[Lou_change]

(Khedruki just saw an emission fee to join the team)

 

[azontr]

(what)

 

[KingEzran]

(Anything big happen? YET AGAIN, MY NOTIFICATIONS HAVE FAILED ME)

 

[AbaddonTheDisappointment]

(That's a bruh moment)

 

[azontr]

(Anything big happen? YET AGAIN, MY NOTIFICATIONS HAVE FAILED ME)

(Sylvia went FERAL, Siglos had a mental breakdown, and now Jeanne is stressing over the party's insufficient finances.)

 

[KingEzran]

(Sylvia went FERAL, Siglos had a mental breakdown, and now Jeanne is stressing over the party's insufficient finances.)

(1: Meh, 2: He's doing that every other day, 3: OH CRAP, WE AIN'T MAKIN ENOUGH BANK.)

 

[azontr]

(We are indeed not making enough bank.)

 

[azontr]

(Anyway, I'm moving the story forward.)

Siglos hesitated for a moment, before slowly nodding.

"...W-we...a-already n-need t-to pay for our...housing. W-we...s-shouldn't spend t-too much...w-without any r-revenue..." Siglos muttered.

"Right..." Jeanne muttered, "Guess we're walking, then."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos nodded quietly. Gingerly, he rummaged into his bag, taking out a small, green scarf, the soft fabric shifting in his grip. He began to wrap it around his face, concealing his mouth and nose.

“…A-alright.” Siglos said quietly. He took a shaky breath, slowly standing up from his seat.

 

[azontr]

Cain's halo circled around her, the runes crackling with volatile Dark Magic as she got up. "So bored... Need someone to fight..." She thought to herself, ready to leave as she moved up to Sylvia.

"Is everyone ready, then...?" Jeanne asked.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"yeah, i am ready" Noah said

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos glanced at Cain for a moment, his ears twitching slightly. He had always heard the magic within her halo, and the noise only became louder in his ears as it crackled with dark energy. His gaze lingered on the strange artifact for a moment, before turning away.

“…I-I’m…r-ready.” The Everian said quietly.

“…M-make s-sure to pay…A-Alexia b-before we leave…”

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Yeah, ready!" Shalor said

"Ready as ill ever be!" Khadgar said

"..." Kargath said nothing and nodded

 

[Backbackback]

Erebus simply remained silent. Though his stature and his posture proved he's just as ready as they are.

 

[azontr]

Cain's halo gently spun, the girl looking at Siglos as he glanced at her. Grunting, she looked away from the man, mana beginning to crackle violently around her halo. Silently, a thin, invisible layer of dark mana expanded about a meter or so around her body, the girl's senses sharpening, clearly wishing for something to happen or for somebody to fight as she began walking.

"Siglos, honey, do you want me to carry you again...?" Sylvia asked her mate quietly.

"Siglos, honey, do you want me to carry you again...?" Sylvia asked her mate quietly.

Siglos looked up at Sylvia. He hesitated, before gently shaking his head.

"...I c-can...w-walk beside y-you, honey." Siglos said quietly. He hesitated for a moment, before continuing.

"But...c-can I...hold y-your hand? W-while...w-while we walk, I-I mean..." He said softly.

"...I c-can...w-walk beside y-you, honey." Siglos said quietly. He hesitated for a moment, before continuing.

"But...c-can I...hold y-your hand? W-while...w-while we walk, I-I mean..." He said softly.

"Of course you can, honey... You don't even have to ask." Sylvia said, holding her hand out for Siglos to grab at his leisure.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Of course you can, honey... You don't even have to ask." Sylvia said, holding her hand out for Siglos to grab at his leisure.

"...T-thank you, honey." Siglos said quietly, A soft, shaky smile spreading across his face. Gingerly, he moved closer to her, before raising a hand, wrapping his fingers around her own.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia, as gently as she possibly could, grasped Siglos's hand in her own, letting out a soft, strained breath. She smiled down at him, "Ready...?" She asked her man.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia, as gently as she possibly could, grasped Siglos's hand in her own, letting out a soft, strained breath. She smiled down at him, "Ready...?" She asked her man.

Siglos glanced up at her, flashing her a soft smile in return. The tension within his body slowly began to fade, the Everian taking comfort in the warmth of her hand against his.

"...I-I'm r-ready...my love..." Siglos said quietly.

"Siglos, honey, do you want me to carry you again...?" Sylvia asked her mate quietly.

Erebus notices Cain's halo but he isn't bothered by it. He does wonder why she is the way she is, though it isn't the top question in his mind as of the moment.

 

[Backbackback]

(Bump)

 

[azontr]

"Alright... Does anybody have a map of the city? Or at least knows the general layout...?" Jeanne asked, "I don't exactly know where the High King's castle is..."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Alright... Does anybody have a map of the city? Or at least knows the general layout...?" Jeanne asked, "I don't exactly know where the High King's castle is..."

Siglos said nothing for a moment, before quietly taking a breath.

“…I…” Siglos trailed off, shaking his head.

“…I k-know the…layout…I…c-can…take u-us there…” He muttered. He pulled up his scarf over his mouth and nose, his grip tightening on Sylvia's hand.

 

[azontr]

Jeanne turned to Siglos, squinting slightly. "You don't... have to trouble yourself with that, Siglos. I know you don't have very fond memories of this city, so, I wouldn't want to put you... through that."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

“…it’s…I-it’s alright, Jeanne.” Siglos said quietly, his voice slightly muffled.

“…I…It w-would b-be quicker…to lead y-you there. The q-quicker w-we do this m-mission…the q-quicker we c-can leave…” He said quietly. He continued to grip Sylvia’s hand, almost leaning on the woman for strength.

 

[azontr]

"......" Jeanne breathed out, nodding. Her chest heated up ever so slightly, but, she ignored the pain. "Lead the way then, Siglos..."

Sylvia looked down at Siglos, "You're really sure you don't want me to carry you, babe...?" She asked.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"......" Jeanne breathed out, nodding. Her chest heated up ever so slightly, but, she ignored the pain. "Lead the way then, Siglos..."

Sylvia looked down at Siglos, "You're really sure you don't want me to carry you, babe...?" She asked.

Siglos said nothing for a moment, before forcing a soft smile on his face, although it wouldn’t be visible underneath his scarf.

“…Y-you…being w-with me…I-is e-enough…m-my love.” Siglos said quietly, his hand trembling against hers. Slowly he began to move forward, positioning himself in the front of the group.

“…P-please…d-don’t l-let go…” He added quietly, desperation creeping into his voice.

 

[azontr]

"I don't plan to let go, Siglos... Lead the way." Sylvia said, sighing.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos took a soft breath, slowly nodding.

“A-alright…” He said quietly. He hesitated for a moment, before speaking again.

I…I c-can…buy y-you a-another meal a-after we m-meet with t-them. If…if y-you'd l-like…" Siglos said quietly.

"...I...I d-don't k-know h-how f-fast y-your b-body...b-burns calories..." He muttered. He walked a few more steps, before taking a left turn on the road, leading the party down a path that would lead them closer to the castle.
