When they all left the labs and walked down the streets, they were given mixed looks. Some were cheers for the clearing of Jaakuna and Savayna’s crimes, some were just dirty looks that three Rozarrians, a Dalmascan, and two Archadians were all walking together — well two of them were being helped — but still, it was odd for some citizens. Jaakuna was being helped by Wesley, who seemed to not mind it one bit. For the most part, the trip back to the Aerodome was a quiet one, well that’s until they got to the dome itself.

When they got to it, Grant stopped. He would say that because of the way that him, Nadeline, and Wesley came to Archades, something called The Thorn would have to be returned or Lorenzo would be mad at him. That’s when Grant handed off Emiri to Nadeline, who seemed to be surprised at how much she weighed despite Grant making it look like she was light as a feather. Jaakuna would never openly admit it, but Emiri was indeed surprisingly heavy for her small frame.

When Nadeline took Emiri, Grant would then just depart alone, but Savayna wouldn’t have that. [b]“Where are you going?” [/b]Jaakuna asked.

[b]“Where do you think dummy? I’m booking a ride with Grant.”[/b] Savayna hissed back.

Jaakuna tilted his head a bit. He didn’t realize they were that close already. He would just shrug.

Meanwhile, Savayna had caught up with Grant. [b]“Hope you don’t mind I’m coming with.” [/b]She said as she happily went with Grant and even hooked her hand with his and the rest of the group saw as she did. Eyes were widened and glances were each exchanged.

While that was happening, the rest of the group would then head off to the Ifrit. Thankfully for them, IRIS had been keeping tabs of all the communications on Archades and when she heard that Jaakuna and his friends were cleared, she booked herself into the Aerodome’s docking bay. Within three or four minutes, everyone was in the medic bay and Jaakuna and Emiri were laying down in the two beds resting up. By this point, however, the Ifrit had already set a course to Stigma. An hour would be the estimated time of arrival.
