Edgar somehow, someway, though as painful as it sounded, managed to chuckle. His exhaustion was apparent. "Can't say that was the plan—" He shook some in her grasp, trying to see, but seeing nothing as he felt himself in the elf's arms. "We...we did it Galiah...we found her.."

"You and me both. See? This wasn't such a bad idea now was it?" Raven smiled, finding the sight of new faces to be refreshing. While they walked, her head turned for her to look at Sammy. "We can think of this is like a mini break away from all of the crazy stuff, ya know?"

Johnathan had to refrain from snatching the bag from her grasp when he took it from her. He turned to face the dog, a bit disgusted as he began to unwrap and unroll the bag only for a few dead rodents and various pieces of trash to be placed onto the floor when he dumped it. It was the single requirement of the estranged being. An "offering" in return for his aid. He found it outright disgusting, and loathed having to go out of his way to retrieve any of it. But it was necessary.
The dog sniffed at the rodent corpses and the garbage with a pleased wag of its mold and mushroom covered tail as it began to devour both rodents and trash alike. And when it finished, there was a poof of musty green air. The shroom and moss covered, terribly old and long-bearded Sai Chease stood before them with his concrete crystal bearing staff in hand and his pale-to-gold locks and knotty beard draping down to his ankles. "Ohoho~ A offering so delightful. If not so delicious it was, perhaps towards you I would be spiteful!" His unfocused and lazy eyes suddenly focused on Kore as he said this. "But alas you are allies, feeders to but a god. And if you so ask for my aid, I shall surely return to you a nod. How many I service you?"
"I believe you are the individual who'll be assisting in relocating the woman here to a safer location. To what your kind calls the Under Society," Johnathan said to the man reluctantly. "Is it possible for us to depart and arrive there?"
"Oh yes, oh yes, the possibility is not impossible. But for you to enter at her side, that will surely be improbable."

"One...two...three!"
Jackline groaned as Alana pulled her up from the chair, an instant wave of nausea smacking her in the face. Her bones croaked in annoyance. As they were heading towards the SUV, she had to try her hardest not to let her legs give in for both her sake and Alana's. Upon being asked about an address or the alternative of a friend's number, she was hesitant. Her home in Carolina was no longer hers, and she didn't really know anyone else in Florida personally aside from Alana. But Alexis's number came to mind. She could never forget the number of her best friend. But she also couldn't bring herself to face her after months without contact, not a single text or any calls. And so she slowly shook her head.
