"Metaphysical geology?" She looked confused. "I...'m sure I'll figure something out."

Our primary concern is the safety of our people. 

"Effectively, you're the one who told me that the Nullite vein would be here. Try some nonsense about lay lines and essences if anyone asks." 

That is a good priority.

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

I know... I just worry about you. 

She closed her eyes.

Thanks. I worry about you too, y'know.

She nodded. "Duly noted."

We'll be up in a moment.

I know you do. And that's really sweet of you, so... thank you.

It was more than just "sweet" in her opinion, but whatever.

'Course.

She pulled back.

Well then, you wanna go explore a bit?

Rebus clasped his hands and waited, sending most of his Narrative power away to the lab copy, who needed it.

She smiled back and stood, then helped him up and surveyed the area again.

Alright . . .

She knew town was that way, and on two others sides of the lake there was basically just mountain . . .

I think there's a trail over here? she said, leading him away from the water. Probably.

The mountain opened, revealing five people, all with very intimidating looking guns. They made no aggressive moves, but the weapons were very prominent. 

"You're the doctor?"

He happily followed her. It's so pretty here.

She nodded. Yeah, it is. Kinda the only thing I miss about this place.

The path wasn't there. Only thick foliage.

Darn. Maybe it was over here.

She walked a bit further.

I really like the elm trees in the fall. They turn such pretty colors.

”I…” she faltered, then pulled back from him and started sobbing very, very hard.

“F-Five. Don’t let go” he said, tears filling his eyes again. “I- I can’t see, please, don’t let me go”

I don’t mind crashing through bushes, if worst comes to worst.

“I won’t, I won’t,” she promised, hugging him so tightly. She wanted to say more, but her throat closed up and she couldn’t do anything but sob.

Nah, it's fine. I'll find it event- oh, there it is!

She pulled him over to a thin trail in the woods and started down it, letting go of his hand.

See? I knew it was here somewhere! she laughed.

She sniffled and leaned into his chest. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. 

His eyes began to work again. Just a little bit. Everything was still blurry, but the pain began to recede.

He blinked it out, for the most part. "It's.... so.. bright" he said, realizing there was another in the room. "Who is that? I still can't see well"

She sheathed her sword and examined the wall for chinks she could use to climb up. 

The old fort had several.

Cricket ran forward. "Rose, don't." he said, urgently. "Please."

Malevolence's grin widened at the man's struggles. The liquid metal of the floor spread upwards along the man's legs, binding him more and more. Slowly, casually, Malevolence lifted his blade for the killing stroke.

Palsu managed to force the shade's stab to the side, grunting with effort. Desperation growing on his face, he headbutted the shade.

The man screamed, eyes pleading.

The Shade snarled, thrown backwards.

”What else am I supposed to do?” She started climbing.

"Rose, no." he said, grabbing her shoulder. "You could die. Let me do this."

Above, the guards gazed at them, spears at the ready.

She just shrugged and turned back to the path, grinning.

So there are some cliffs with really pretty views, and I think there are some caves that are part of a larger system 'round here . . . shouldn't be too hard to find. Either of those sound interesting?

She had pulled her knees up to her chest and was crying into them.

"I have my powers! Besides, its my role to protect you."
