[color=00a651]"I hope I'm not late to the party."[/color] Gren arrived just as the airship dropped. From a cursory glance, he could see that Sepia had suffered some sort of bullet wound, and was being attended by the maid. The first aid would be good, but from the concern on her face he guessed that she wanted Sepia to go with her to the infirmary. Perhaps if it was a critical wound, but fortunately that's what the hunters had Aura for. [color=00a651]"Hmm. Sepia's been shot. If you can make sure the wound doesn't get infected, and if she takes it easy for the rest of the afternoon, her aura ought to kick in and handle the rest. If it's only one bullet than it can take care of fighting infection and healing the damage done. If you really want to get the bullet out, you could always go to the infirmary later. To that end, a night out in town is exactly what she needs. Just something to take her mind off all this... Stuff that's been happening."[/color]

Not that he was trying to dismiss the seriousness of the wound. Rather, he was trying to make sure Shiro and the maid weren't freaking out over one injury. As nonchalant as it may seem, one bullet really wasn't anything to worry about. Sepia just needs to relax and let her aura take care of it, and the best way to do that was to enjoy a night out with the team. If she stayed back at the infirmary and did nothing but dwell on it, she won't get better until tomorrow and miss out on all the fun. Gren had also caught the tail end of Skyra's request to get drunk, which Gren was fine with. Sure he might be a bit underage but considering that he's a cyborg and his bionic liver can process torpedo fluid, a few drinks weren't going to do him any harm. Someone had to be Skyra's drinking buddy after all.

[color=00a651]"C'mon, today is a night for us to enjoy our youth. Let's not worry about rules or our future. We came back from some tough missions, and I'm sure we all want to get some unadulterated R&R. Now with that said, let's go!"[/color]

[@Onarax][@Savato][@Sho Minazuki][@Crimmy]

The webbing gave way to the molten liquid that cascaded down into the darkness. Thousands of infantile broodlings died, and the more matures either shared their fate or barely escaped. But not the queen. The queen, despite her size, was too quick and too cunning to be caught by such an obvious attack. When the webbing gave away, there was nothing underneath it but an empty void. Team Canvas would see Taidan's flames go further into the abyss until it was swallowed up by the darkness, and with it, many of the broodlings. But what of the Ariadne they were hunting? They would have to go back into the bowels to investigate. Even for faunas with night vision or humans with an inexplicably good memory and eyes, the Ariadne was nowhere to be seen. More immediately, there were also large broodlings still climbing towards Taidan, a few who were already on the surface ready to catch him. When he flew out of the abyss, they fired webbing above him, careful to avoid his lava stream.
