Chorale considered her options, then called beyond the force field. "If I surrender myself to you, will you let Aerith go?" She dropped her voice and said to Aerith, "Go, and get us out of here."

@Channelknight Fadran

Aerith grabs her arm and books it.

Kade thought for a moment. "You know what... I'm in a good mood today. Yes, yes I will."

Chorale resisted Aerith pulling on her arm. Wow, she thought. This new bond might actually come in handy. Yes, I agree, thought Vivace. "By yourself, I mean! Come get us later!" she whispered to him.

Concerto glared at Chorale. Or at least the thing he thought was Chorale at the moment. "What are you doing? Turning both of us in so that one old soldier can leave? Pfft. I knew that compassion of yours would get you killed one day."

Chorale raised her eyebrows at her older brother. "It's happening, whether you like it or not. Put your hands up." She raised hers and dropped the force field around them, conserving the small bit of crystal left for later.

Concerto raised his hands grudgingly.

“Ah, okay.” Aerith flees valiantly.

Vivace rolls her eyes. Well, now we're never getting out of here. I thought you said that one wanted us dead! Well, yes, but I think I can persuade him to keep us alive long enough for us to escape. You'd better. Chorale came back to the surface and stood there, waiting to be taken prisoner.

Hey Vapor, should Aerith meet up with Val?

Two Amals walked forward, and bound Chorale, and Concerto.

Kade grinned. Then nodded to the Amals taking them prisoner. "Put them away."

Chorale sighed. I've been tied up far too much recently, she thought. Really? asked Vivace. Chorale mentally smacked herself. Sorry, I forgot that everything I think that way, you can hear. Yes, I've been tied up a lot recently. Mostly by this guy. Well, you'd better be sure that soldier will rescue us, because we can't count on this leopard underestimating us. Don't worry, we can trust Aerith.

Sorry for taking so long to reply! I just got out of school.

Borodin sighed. He thought for a few seconds. "Yes," he said. "Yes, that's fine." He walked inside and motioned to Kria, inviting him inside. "There's some stew cooking over by the fire over there," Borodin said, pointing lazily. "Help yourself." 

Borodin sat down in his favorite silky chair and sipped some hot chocolate. "So," Borodin said. "What's the real reason you came here today? Perhaps you came to steal one of my priceless books like those other thieves did? Don’t worry; I’ve got my eye on you.” He eyed Kria suspiciously.

Aerith exits the building, nearly slamming head-on into Valerie. "Whoa!"

[Vapor she/her]

Valerie stumbles back, raising her arms. "Oh, it's you," she says.

"Quick! Come with me." He starts running into the jungle.

[Vapor she/her]

"What about Chorale?"

[The Ward's Guard he/him]

Jane made her way through the settlement, trying to hurry while not running. She needed to find out what was happening, and she had only been here once. She saw a large group of Amal around a building, and she made her way there. If something was happening, she had to see it.

Krait hurries inside and stands by the door. "Thank you, but I'm not going to take your food. I just need to wait a few minutes then I can be on my way. And I was telling you the truth."

[Vapor she/her]

Val looked like she wanted to ask more, but she transformed into a deer and started to run

Once they were far enough away from the base, Aerith stopped by a tree and caught his breath. "You probably have a million questions."

Vapor, instead of having her run, you should have her pronk.

Fish, where are we going?(Chorale and Concerto)

Confusion spread across Borodin face as he processed this: his eyebrows show up, his nose twitched, and his mouth curled into a frown. "You're not?" he asked with disbelief. "Then what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to ask you a question. It's very urgent.

Do you like mushrooms?"

Just kidding, but it'd be funny.

Concerto and Chorale are led to separate cells. And were roughly thrown in.

"I already told you. I need to lose the people that are following me. Though now that I think about it, do you happen to have a potato I could have?"
