"Oh! I would love some!" Salt water taffy seemed like just the thing to help bite back the tears. Who cries while eating sweets after all?
Marmalade took the offered candy and popped it in her mouth. "Mmmm."
She heard Caelyn say something about a nose, but not enough to actually understand d what was going on in her head. She was about to asked Caelyn what she was saying when a knock came at the door. Marmalade exchanged looks with Veragwen and watched the door slide open. There was a young man. He was here for the very same thing they were. To fight that scorpion. Probably a good thing he was late judging from how he looked. Marmalade smirked. These women could probably run circles around this kid. 
She had to choke back a laugh as he bowed before them, introducing himself as Jerus. As he continued to talk, she couldn't contain it any longer and doubled over in laughter. It was a good five minutes before she was calm enough to speak.
"I'm sorry!" Was all she was able to get out before starting up again.
