Aloa would not respond to Jaakuna right away, though her ear twitched lightly. She nodded quietly and turned away from the pair. "[b]Until next time.[/b]" The viera bid them both farewell, departing to the deeper parts of the village. Emiri watched her leave, looking back at Jaakuna. She walked over to him, taking his hand rather reassuringly. She wasn't really sure what to say at this point. Still, at the very least their business was done here, and it seemed that they had overstayed their welcome in Eruyt. It was funny, but only now did she really feel the somber mood throughout the village.

"[b]Are you okay?[/b]" She asked him curiously. "[b]Did something happen in Stigma?[/b]"

Grant couldn't help but lightly scoff at Wesley's response. "[b]When has our luck ever gone our way?[/b]" He couldn't help but quip rather pessimistically. "[b]I wouldn't be surprised if for whatever reason we have to do another challenge just to [i]reach[/i] her, afterwards she wipes us out completely without us putting so much as a scratch on her.[/b]" He grumbled on as they kept walking. Before them would be a familiar branch of left and right (well, not for him, everything looked the same to him) though Nadeline seemed confident enough that one way would lead them back, and so they continued a path upwards. "[b]I'm honestly just relieved that after this we may never have to come back [i]here[/i] for any reason.[/b]"

Nadeline giggled a bit, waving her rapier around. "[b]Are you saying that you're glad the adventure is almost over? This certainly beats paperwork or being stuck in the castle all day![/b]" She lightly teased him as she poked him with her rapier. After a few seconds her grin would fade, being replaced by a rather solemn expression. "[b]Honestly...once this is all over, we won't get to be together like this, will we?[/b]" She mimicked Grant's muttering as she sheathed her rapier. After she crossed her arms, she would continue, "[b]That is to say...Ii just feel like it's all over before it really got a chance to start.[/b]"

"[b]I for one am glad. Personally I'm not a big fan of risking my life on a daily basis.[/b]" Grant raised a hand, lazily waving Nadeline away, though he would raise an eyebrow at Wesley. "[b]Though I have to wonder, who will wed first? You and Wesley, or Jaakuna and Emiri?[/b]"

The blonde's cheeks flushed lightly, though her grin would return with full force as she would basically skip over to Wesley, lightly grabbing his arm. "[b]I do not believe Jaakuna to be quite ready to settle down just yet. Obviously Wesley and I will wed first.[/b]" She informed them all rather cheerfully, looking up at Wesley. "[b]I suppose I know have a reason to look forward to ending all this now![/b]"
