Brandy picked himself off of the dusty floor on which he had fallen after Ace had been whacked into him by a shadowy tendril with a wince. Song had been knocked down too, having been in turn knocked down by the bunny, and quickly Brandy stooped down to help the white-haired Nobody up. It didn’t quite help that he was still out of breath from running around, nor that Song was quite a bit taller than him, but somehow he managed to heave Song up from the ground. Brandy patted the dust from the other’s Nobody’s clothes while staring at the letters on the wall.

“I… Guess that’s that then.” 

He was rather relieved and impressed that none of the hummons had lost an arm or leg in the whole ordeal considering how accident-prone they were. Instead they had merely suffered some scrapes and bruises at worst, which was quite an improvement from all their previous outings.

Brandy agreed with the girl- even though the Midnight Man had been taken care of, he still very much disliked the feel of the mansion- strange creaks sounded occasionally, and he could always seem to feel cobwebs clinging to his skin where there were none.

 “Splatter painting. hmmm~?” Marti hummed in interest, feeling much bubblier now that the horrid Midnight Man wasn’t trying to kill them anymore. They did still have to meet with him in the library however, but as unpleasant as it was perhaps this time there wouldn’t be the danger of black muck flying everywhere and ruining hair and clothes. Who knew how long It would take the stains to come out? “I’d certainly like to see you paint someday, Lesles!” She glomped the pink haired human happily, trying her best to block out the gloomy surroundings. 

“If you ever do want to do a spot of designing though, I’d be happy to help. In exchange for information on how you keep your hair looking so glossy and soft, of course! This offer extends to you too, Leon,” she gave a small twirl of her tail and a wink. “Perhaps I’d even get Inadi to model with you, what would you think about that?” She gave Lesley a playful nudge, giggling in thought.
