It was probably the Cadet's fourth time trekking through Limsa. Even so, with so many people around there was always something new to see, even going down the same roads. What was strange though was that ever since the whole crew split up, he hadn't seen hide nor hair of Link no matter how many times he went back and forth down this route. Judging from what the princess said earlier, neither had she. If he hadn't returned by now, then maybe he found some kind of super ship and was just trying really hard to convince the owners to sell. [i]What a dedicated guy![/i]

Once they were at the dock and Peach went to talk to Brineybeard, Cadet leaned against the gold laden cart. He scratched behind BB's ears, and the little behemoth's tail thumped against the gold pieces where it laid, still sitting pretty square in the middle of the money pile.

"Y'think the rest of our crew is doin' okay?"

Cadet looked over at Cuphead. He was barely bigger than BB, seated on the wagon's edge and swinging his noodle-like legs. He'd been looking over Briney's ship, but when he turned to the hunter after asking his question, said hunter immediately nodded.

[color=salmon]"Sure, of course they're okay,"[/color] he said, and both boys turned to glance over the open ocean. On this side of Limsa, it was clear and empty. [color=salmon]"They're just doing recon, how much trouble could they get into?"[/color] 

Peach and Brineybeard's voices reached them as the two peered over the deck, the later's eyes nearly leaping from their sockets at the sight of their treasure cart. Unfortunately it seemed like their plan to purchase Shippy was a bust. It was disappointing, but Cadet couldn't blame the captain for not wanting to part with his vessel, since said vessel was actually a living thing. If it wasn't, the hunter would be trying to convince Briney of all the benefits of upgrading your equipment. Although he wasn't going to do that, Cadet still pushed off of the cart and made his way up the gangplank to speak with them.

[color=salmon]"Aw man, what about if we ban-borrowed her? Or like a rental?"[/color] Cadet suggested, glancing around the deck. [color=salmon]"...or we hired you to come with us! One last adventure, right?"[/color] He looked over at Peach, looking for her approval. It was her money, after all. Otherwise they'd have to see what Hat Kid and Link found.

The creature lurched, and as Primrose expected it let loose those projectiles projectiles from the lid on the top of it's head. With her improved speed, Primrose was able to get out of the way, leaping to the side when the barrage closed in and smashed into the ground where she was once standing. She threw magic at the strider once, twice more. It wasn't doing critical damage to the thing, but so long as her magic was having some effect she was satisfied. 

She knew the thieves were up and about as soon as Joker called out his order. Primrose backed away then, letting the teenagers go on the attack. That they synergized with each other was no surprise. The dancer took the situation in, considering her next options, but the thieves worked quickly. The creature was ignited, and as it splashed fire and oil around Primrose deftly danced out of the way. She let out a quick whistle, calling the wolfos back to her side. 

It was smart, setting the creature ablaze. The benefits of having a mixed party were many. The monster heaved and took a heavy blow from Joker, rearing up and lashing out. It's tentacles snaked around the chamber with purpose, curling and swiping at anyone within reach. Primrose didn't plan to be in it's range for long if she could help it. Once the wolfos reached her, dodging puddles flame, Primrose swung herself onto it's back. [color=D34C25]"Let's go,"[/color] she said, and the mount burst into action, dodging the slick arms of the monsters as it ran wide around it. It was relatively safe to sling her dark magic at the creature from beyond it's reach, but despite her and the thieves' attacks, the ceramic monster refused to go down. [i]Then perhaps it needs a good coaxing...[/i]

[color=D34C25]"Forward,"[/color] Primrose ordered, and the borrow wolfos barked it's affirmative before it changed course, paws skidding along the floor as it stopped to turn and head toward the massive pot. The thieves were focusing on the tentacles, but the monster still had one eye left - and it seemed to certainly feel it when Joker took out the other one. With the wolfos navigating and avoiding the tendrils, Primrose could give all her attention to aiming the spell gathering in her hand. A few well time attacks from the teenage troupe gave her the opportunity, and the dancer let her magic fly.
