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."
