[hr]Seele couldn’t help the heavy breath of relief, or the way her whole body slumped as if she’d just cast off a tremendous weight. She wasn’t good with being on the wrong side of the law, always one to stick closely to the rules—even in video games. As a kid, her friends forbid her from being their driver in anything with a car, because she always stopped at red lights and crosswalks. Though she had never had to talk her way out of virtual [i]jail[/i] before. Beginner’s luck, perhaps. 

Either way—no jail, and it seemed their investigation had Lendie’s support in some fashion or another. She gratefully took the stone from her marveling at her for just a moment before she remembered herself. 

“[color=92278f]Thank you, captain, sincerely,[/color]” she said, bowing low. “[color=92278f]I promise you, you won’t regret this.[/color]”

Part of her felt it wasn’t enough to repay the leniency they’d been given, but she knew better than to push her luck, and Lendie did not seem the kind to respond well to perceived obsequiousness. So, she pocketed the stone, bowed again, and started back towards the others, stopping only the fix the captain with a bold look.

“[color=92278f]We’re going to find those people,[/color]” she said.

Graves was being seen to by a healer. He seemed lucid, or at the very least awake, and though she had much to say to him, that absolute last thing she wanted right now was to interfere with him getting better. Instead she shuffled over to their newcomer, the archer, Artemis. 

Seele had not been deaf to the girl’s breakdown during the ordeal—though she had at the end been blinded, just a smidgen. 

“[color=92278f]Sweetheart?[/color]” She smiled softly, placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. The girl had a nasty red mark on her face. “[color=92278f]It’s okay, we’re all done here. Why don’t we get back inside? Maybe get some ice for that cheek, hm?[/color]”[/indent][/indent][/indent]
