Now for exfiltration. Chen walked through the snowstorm, quietly opening a path through for Monkey to arrive at the door the same time as he. He opened the door and stepped in, the room's temperature plummeting as snow blew in from behind him. [color=forestgreen]"Forgive my lateness Solanne. I do hope you weren't too inconvenienced by your trip through the desert, I know how prone you are to sunburn."[/color] It was impossible to tell if that was a joke or genuine, his voice remained as glacial as ever. Chen swung the door closed, a burst of frost and juniper plants engulfing the entrance to make sure they were not somehow interrupted. [color=forestgreen]"Lady Emilia. The Librarian has cordially invited you to their domain to speak with them on matters regarding the Imperium and how the Librarium and Exilia can cooperate to ensure lasting peace in the lands. Seeing as how you have nothing more pressing to attend to at the moment, I do hope you'll accept."[/color] The way he looked at Emilia while talking to her, it was almost like he was reading from a script he had read dozens of times over. He probably was. Regardless of how she answered, he continued on. [color=forestgreen]"Thank you for accepting the Librarian's invitation, I promise you that we of the Librarium offer only the finest transport and escort services. I do hope you enjoy the ride."[/color] And with that, the vines binding Emilia surged to life once more, completely restricting any and all movement while simultaneously muffling any protest. Kanbaru's water had likely covered the bars of the cage by now and there was plenty more water to work with as snow pushed through the slit windows of the slave house and dusted the floor with the touch of winter. [center][h1][color=gold]Takara Kouhou[/color] [/h1][img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/51fc61ac770a524e9468f174afa94d7f/tumblr_inline_n1xc79Kcic1rb3m8r.png[/img][/center] While Takara couldn't simply fly away from the trap that drew them into the sewers, his otherworldy powers did allow him to unconsciously escape from the same danger that threatened to pull everyone else under. Where everyone else fell into the dark sewers of Victoire's castle, the young boy instead gently floated down towards the shore, his pillow landing on the ground first with him falling onto it shortly after. It was at this exact moment, that he finally stretched his arms out wide, let out a big yawn, and opened his eyes. [color=gold]"What a great nap."[/color] He rubbed his eyes and blinked blearily, looking around the dark cavern with no small measure of confusion. [color=gold]"Huh. This isn't the inside of a castle. Where the heck am I now?"[/color] He smacked his lips together, he was feeling pretty thirsty after such a long nap, could use some water. There was a lake nearby, but mom always said that he should never eat food he just found on the street. That same logic probably applied to water too right?
