There she went. Trying to pull an Azura all by herself. Of course, he wasn’t going to allow her to make the same mistake—he believed the ice sorceress had made. Stepping toward the wall, Boss shouted up at Piper, [color=AC58FA][b]“Hey! Don’t you walk away from me! Piper! For real? Are you really gonna be like this?”[/b][/color] He listened for a moment before exclaiming, [color=AC58FA][b]“HEY!”[/b][/color] No answer. The robot had wondered off. Boss raised his head, pinched the corners of his eyes and groaned deeply, [color=AC58FA][b]“Oh my god; oh my gooo~d…I want to just kill her. Why is she putting me through this?” Releasing his eyes, he continued to moan: “Why is she even on my team?”[/b][/color] He wanted to cry. He faked crying a bit to see if it would create a similar sensation, but it didn’t. He was just stuck with his feelings of great frustration. Sighing deeply, Boss closed his eyes and did his best to force all of the negative energy aside. Rolling his shoulders, he muttered to himself, [color=AC58FA][b]“All right; come on. Get the monkey off your back. Yeah, we could be roundin’ up horses with the rest of the guys, but she wants to explore evil temples instead. Whatever.”[/b][/color] Boss craned his head up to the ledge he had seen Piper disappear from. [color=AC58FA][i]She can’t fuck up if I don’t let her go by herself.[/i][/color] He took several steps backwards and away from the temple wall. When he felt that he had found a comfortable distance, Boss crouched, resting his palm flat upon the grass. [color=AC58FA][i]If she thought I wasn’t comin’ up there, then she’s crazy…I’m just not gonna climb up there[/i][/color]. The earth rippled like rings in a pool around his planted hand. Oscillating beneath him, there was a soft whir of charging energy before Boss leapt into the air as though propelled by a spring. He flew a few feet above the ledge and landed on it, frantically waving his arms as a few rocks escaped beneath his feet causing his balance to waver. [color=AC58FA][b]“Shit that was close!”[/b][/color] Stepping away from the edge, he gazed through the archway into a cloister of vines and other vegetation. It was like a secret garden. Boss cautiously wandered within, sweeping the place for anything unusual, dangerous, or demonic. [color=AC58FA][b]“Piper!”[/b][/color] he called. He didn’t have to wander too deeply for he could see her red chassis shining—probably could have seen it a mile away too. She appeared to have found people, and a horse. [color=AC58FA][i]Aw yes! A horse![/i][/color] Boss approached Piper in his eagerness to hopefully claim the creature. [color=AC58FA][b]“What do you know? You found a horse all the way up here!”[/b][/color]
