[color=gold]"That’s theft right there,"[/color] Clair called in an, at least a little ironic, statement once Cait confiscated her phone. [color=gold]"You can’t just go around taking a pure-hearted maiden’s phone like that. I didn’t even get to delete the browser history,"[/color] she added as she moved back to the bar.

[color=gold]"Anyway, I guess I’ll let it slide if you make me a strawberry sundae on the house. That’s the least you can do, right?"[/color] The blonde thief smiled, trying to convince the cat to get a bigger discount from the bartender feline.

[color=goldenrod]"There’s no need for more courtesy on my part. I believe they’ll have the chance to get more than they wish for from the next set of floors. Especially, if they play their cards right,"[/color] Emilia replied to Cait’s laidback comment. A mysterious smile followed the comment of the solo traveler.

[color=gold]"Hey, you again? Why don’t you come with us this time? I bet it gets boring goin’ around this place on your own,"[/color] Clair said as she ate her dessert while the others were away doing god-knows-what. Judging by the noises and creaks coming from upstairs, it couldn’t be many things, though.

[color=gold]"Anything is fine by me! I don’t think I’ve been to any of those floors before, so it’s gonna be a fresh start either way,"[/color] Clair said after they, or rather Kanbaru, seemed to have settled on their next destination. [color=gold]"If that’s the best option we have, I don’t see why not take it,"[/color] she said as she licked her spoon clean, almost being done with her sundae.

[color=gold]"By the way, what happened to you up there? You look kinda… different, I guess?"[/color] Clair said, looking at Kanbaru’s rather unique new looks, the not least important of them being the sudden change of hair and eye hues.
