Augusta followed along after she patched herself up.  It still hurt in a way.  Perhaps it was just a residual feeling...  But it didn't feel good at all.  Perhaps she was just remembering the pain that, at this point, felt so long ago.  He held her side as the troupe pressed onward.  She watched as the stone giant and the tendrils struggled with each other.  She was glad they didn't have to run from that guardian giant at the moment.  For most of the journey, she did her best not to make eye contact with either Donovan or Isidore.  She felt awkward that she reacted a bit aggressively towards Donovan trying to help her.  That didn't matter too much at the moment at least.  They came to a slow at a forest finally.

It was something.  A good change of pace from the original place they were.  On the travel to where they were, she finally managed to remove her hand from where she was wounded.  As the started to look around, they found a rather familiar face.  "Nick?"  She question, unsure if her eyes were seeing correctly, though, her Goddess' Eyes confirmed it was indeed Nick.  "Hello again."  She said, though she seemed a small bit colder than she had been before as she was still trying to process everything still.  Despite him running from their escapade, it didn't seem like Augusta was upset with him or anything.

"After you left, we went into the depths of the complex.  We made a deal with a demon for it's survival and a guaranteed escape for us.  Well, it's species' survival?"  Augusta questioned herself, since the giant plant they communicated with had ended itself in letting them escape.  "Regardless, we escaped with it's seed and a new dog."  She added, pointing to Octavia.  

Then Isidore spoke up about testing her limits on Nick.  She got a new ability didn't she?  "Nick, I want you to trust me that you'll feel better.  With all the black substance, we just need to be safe.  It probably shouldn't hurt."  The woman snapped her finger and a flame appeared at her fingers.  She infused it with positive energies like she remembered and used it on Nick's wounds and the black substance, just to be safe.  "It's a good healing technique, apparently."
