"[color=darkorange]I'm slightly more concerned about the interference,[/color]" Lorenzo outright admitted as Grant stared at the sky. "[color=darkorange]I made some slight adjustments to counteract it, but its a lot more extreme than I realized. Whatever's blocking your voice is determined to keep you mute for a very, very long time. I'll put it this way: without my adjustments, you still wouldn't have been able to make a peep.[/color]" Grant groaned once more. This couldn't be happening. The humiliation was too much. He followed Lorenzo and Savayna, sulking, though he was quite alarmed when Savayna would suddenly yank him behind the rocks. As he was about to question it, he noticed Jaakuna as well, with a familiar looking woman with him. Lorenzo squinted at them, a small frown on his face as he scratched his chin. "[color=darkorange]Who's that chick with Jaakie?[/color]" He asked quietly. "[color=magenta]Probably Emiri?[/color]" Admittedly, Grant hadn't gotten the same look the other two did--only spotting their hair colors. Considering the only other dark haired person in their group was Wesley, it was safe to reason this. "[color=darkorange]Was it? She looked older than Elizabeth,[/color]" Lorenzo seemed lost in thought. "[color=darkorange]Am I losing my mind...? I thought she was only slightly older than Nadeline, but...[/color]" It was then the pair realized that Savayna had gone ahead, the brothers quietly following suit. Grant watched Jaakuna, noticing that they were in quite a hurry. Where were they going? It was then he got a better look at Emiri. He now understood Lorenzo's confusion--she really did look older. How? Putting the possibilities to the side, he seemed to realize the direction they were headed. The Golmore Jungle was in the other direction, and considering they had just come from the Zertinan Caverns, it was safe to say that wasn't where they were going. "[color=magenta]It looks like they're headed towards the Henne Mines,[/color]" Grant informed the two quietly. Meanwhile, Emiri found herself quite enjoying their escapade. Considering that nearly every other time they're split from the group, it was hardly just her and Jaakuna. It was quieter, sure, but it was easier stealth-wise, at least. Her uneasiness seemed to rise the closer they got to their destination, though she managed it well. Jaakuna had believed to hear something in the wind, but she had assumed it was likely a stray monster. As they approached the gorge that separated them from the mines' entrance, she would dig into her pocket. Signaling for Jaakuna to follow suit, she approached the tall grass, waving around the Gyshal Greens. A soft 'kweh' was heard, Emiri letting out a small squeal as it promptly gobbled the greens. Seeing their chance, she managed to climb onto its back, and once Jaakuna would get on behind her, they would guide the chocobo through the thickets. It seemed to know where they wanted it to take them, and in a moment, the large opening to the Henne Mines was in sight. There was definitely something in there--though as to what it was, who knew. "[color=pink]Do you feel that?[/color]" She asked, shuddering.
