Raiya was plopped down on the leather couch, which Raiya was pretty certain was definitely not good for the leather. She was still soaked to the bone, and having no mana to use an instant evaporation spell, nor the stamina to move from her spot, meant that she just had to lay uncomfortably in her drenched state. When Nemo, obviously irritated, suggested she could take care of herself, she realized that Nemo probably knew she was not in such a state, but did not care if she experienced some discomfort. Being as angry as she still was with Nemo, she honestly preferred him being cold and distant. Just as well, Raiya felt as if she deserved to baste in seawater and regret. Felix walked up to the couch that Raiya was slumped on, drips of seawater plopped onto the hardwood floor from the couch, causing Felix to pause. The portal he had opened before closed behind him with Zuri coming in last. Felix tilted his head and gave Raiya a puzzled look. [color=ec008c]"Go away, Felix. I am not in the mood to be lectured right now,"[/color] Raiya moaned. "It certainly would be an oddity if you were in the mood to be lectured... But, seeing as how you are completely out of mana, I can see why you did not really have a choice other than to desecrate a good leather couch, so I won't be lecturing you," Felix explained. Then he snapped his fingers, casting a evaporation spell that covered the immediate room, causing all materials to dry instantly, and making it very humid within the living space. He then opened a window and flicked his wrist causing a large breeze to blow through, evacuating the humid air outside nad replacing it with normal dry air. "Much better," Felix said with a smile. Felix took stock of the room, "Well, it looks like our team is a little smaller now," Felix said, referencing Zoe's absence. Felix surveyed the room a little closer and realized Travis was holding a blue stone. "Well, I didn't feel irregular mana waves, so I just assumed you failed in retrieving the paragon. But if I am to assume that this stone right here is the paragon, then... That means you used the spell to cut the ley-lines again?" Felix surmised, "I suppose it makes sense that you would have to get rid of manawave interference to contact me since you were in the middle of the ocean and all," Felix let out a long sigh, "Oh well, what is done is done. I suppose that just means we will have to double our efforts on figuring a way to reestablish ley-line connections. Anyway, I am anxious to hear how this all happened. Does anybody want to give a quick recap?" Felix finished.
