Chapter 17: Not Stopping Now

The next day, they all had their wounds patched up and given their clothes up for a nice wash as thanks for the river. They're actually on their way to explain to the elder on what's going on.

Thoris: "Kind of feels weird walking around in my underwear."

All they're wearing is a pair of underwear and several bandages since there isn't much else.

Lariat: "We need to explain to the elder how Rox is one of us."

Rox enters the hallway, in her pajamas.

Rox: "(excited) So I'm going to be able to go with you guys?!"

Rox has bandages also covering some of the other parts of her body.

Thoris: "(confused) Shouldn't you have other clothes?"

Rox: "(smiling) I ran out after we brought back the river. Plus I'm usually like this when we do laundry."

Owen: "(nose bleeding) K..."

Rox: "(confused) Why is your nose bleeding?"

Owen wipes the blood away.

Owen: "N-No reason!"

They enter the main room.

Elder: "Ah there you are."

They all kneel.

Lariat: "We must tell you something important elder."

Lariat begins to explain the situation.

Meanwhile...

Preio: "All that remains is Nervousness, Trust, Belief, and Joy."

Xeoin: "Bravery, Tranquility, Ambition, and now Enthusiasm are safely in their hands."

???: "Are you all certain?"

A flickering image of Soalious appears in the center.

Feaquil: "Soalious!"

Soalious: "If you think that those eight can save Isa, you're sorely mistaken."

Bael: "What are you saying?"

Soalious: "(smirking) Just wait and see."

The image vanishes.

Jex: "They must hurry."

Lariat finishes his explanation.

Elder: "So my granddaughter is the fourth one..."

Owen: "So we need her to-"

Rox's father brings everyone's clothes.

Thoris: "Thanks."

Everyone grabs their set.

Rox's Father: "I wish I could talk more about my past with your father, but-"

Owen slips on his shirt.

Owen: "Relax, after we take our trip to the Gigas, we'll need to head back to my place and catch a boat to the other three."

Everyone slips their clothes on.

Rox: "(tying cloth) Well we can't be wasting time standing around!"

Rox has already left the building.

Thoris: "Well what're we waiting for?"

They follow suit.

Rox's Father: "Maybe I will go pay a visit."
