Chapter 33: Lie and Wait

The heroes have just arrived at the inn towards the middle of town.

Veld: "So what're we going to do with the Flora?"

Lariat: "Same thing we did with Makoh."

Makoh: "Lie and wait."

Owen has given the message to the innkeeper and was given two keys.

Thoris: "Well we don't know anything about their behavior here."

Owen gives a key to both Lariat and Rox.

Rox: "So how many days?"

Owen: "As many as it takes."

Makoh: "My wallet is saved!"

They begin to head towards their rooms.

Lariat: "So the rooms are to be split into halves."

Veld: "(awkwardly) Privacy is nonexistent."

They all shudder a bit.

Rox: "Well, who's with me?"

Veld: "I-I will."

Everyone except Owen backs up a bit.

Owen: "I'm fine with it."

They open their respective rooms.

Veld: "You're on the couch Owen."

Meanwhile...

Thoris jumps into a bed.

Thoris: "You guys decide on the couch because it sure as hell won't be me!"

Makoh sits on the couch.

Makoh: "I'm o-okay here."

They put their weapons against the wall.

Lariat: "So we're playing the waiting game."

Thoris: "Seems like a great time."

Meanwhile...

Owen: "(stretching) Looks like we're in for another boring episode."

Veld: "(setting down weapon) But we need to suck it up."

Rox paces back and forth.

Rox: "(bored) I hate waiting!"

Owen: "Don't worry Rox, I hate it just as much as you."

Veld walks towards the door.

Rox: "(bored) What're you doing?"

Veld: "I'm going to check up on the injured."

Veld exits the room.

Rox: "(bored) I'm going to try and sleep it out."

Rox hops into a bed.

Owen: "I'll give my sword a tune up."

Owen examines his sword.

Meanwhile...

Nyria: "There, now you just need to take it easy."

A green light fades from Nyria's hands after lifting them from a bloodstain on a Sprixie's shirt.

Nyria: "(wiping away sweat, smiling) I'm just happy knowing that every wound treated is another one step closer to ending the pain of others."

Nyria is currently at the main square, with about two hundred more people to tend to their wounds.

Nyria: "Time to-"

Nyria trips over a small stone and falls onto the ground.

Nyria: "(muffled) Again?"

Veld arrives at the scene.

Veld: "(holding out hand) Need some help?"

Nyria looks up and grabs Veld's hand.

Nyria: "(shaking head) Thank-"

She just realized who helped her.

Nyria: "(startled) Y-You didn't need to help me!"

Veld: "I just thought you could use some help here."

Nyria: "(calming down) My apologies, I just wasn't expecting a figure like you was going to help me."

Veld pulls some medicine out of his pocket.

Veld: "It's fine. You're lucky that my mom is a doctor, and I know a thing or two about these types of wounds."

Nyria puts her hands on another person, creating a new green light.

Nyria: "(sighing) Not many Sprixies who can use restoration magic are up and about. I'm currently the only one."

Veld rubs ointment on another one.

Veld: "Hopefully the one here is someone like you."

Nyria: "(blushing) U-Uh..."

The orb glows brighter.
