[i]"Hmm, I don't think so. At least, that's not what my instincts tell me."[/i] Holding onto the vague feeling that the Floor Guardian wasn't involved with the strange tremors, Senna briefly considers the matters at hand before glancing back at the stairway leading downwards.

[i]"Alexander looked pretty beat up, and it seems like you have some things to clear up before we advance. I meant to scout further into the Labyrinth alone... but after that disturbance, I'm starting to feel like it might be too dangerous. I've noticed that the Lexicon doesn't really give us all of the information when we need it, only once we've discovered it for ourselves. With something weird like this distortion, there ought to be other things that have changed further down as well. I'm thinking that it'll be a safe bet to wait for tomorrow, when we're all recovered, and then go down to tackle the Metal Slime together."[/i]

It was the obvious conclusion. The monsters of the Labyrinth respawned periodically, so if they rested a day, it was possible that they would be able to return and gather up more strength before facing the boss. With these thoughts in mind, Senna faces the exit to the Labyrinth and starts walking, her footsteps completely muffled by the lightness of her steps.

[i]"With that out of the way, I still have some things to do around here... but I'll see you tomorrow. If you can't find me, I ought to be around the entrance to the Labyrinth, somewhere. See you."[/i]

And then she leaves. If she were a certain chuuni, she might have waved backwards all cool-like, but instead, she just kind of strolled away and disappeared into the ruined area surrounding the Labyrinth entrance. Once out there, unless stopped, she would find a nearby place and a nook to hide herself in, where she would construct a makeshift shelter and wait the rest of the day out.

The end.
