Zarius Meri groaned, slowly standing. He looked around for his sister, Bella. After identifying where she was, sitting cross-legged on the floor, silent as ever, he studied the room, listening to the talk of the other two. He shivered. [i]Something is off about this place. I don't like it. Why is- why is Bella just sitting there...?[/i] His sister still hadn't moved, and he was concerned about that. Of course, he didn't show it as he went over to the girl, who seemed to be frozen.
	Bella Meri blinked, turning her head to look at her brother. She wasn't supposed to let him know she knew where they were, and why they were there. She was one of the first, and she regretted her decision to allow the Original to bring Zarius here. "[color=ec008c]Where are we, Zarius?[/color]" She asked her brother quietly, her eyes flicking nervously to Bartz and Firion.
	"[color=00aeef]I dunno, sis. But we'll be fine. We'll find a way to leave and-[/color]" Zarius glanced at the others. "[color=00aeef]And we'll go home. Just us.[/color]" He whispered the last part, not wanting strangers to hear. He knew his sister was probably scared, and he didn't want to scare her more.
	"[color=ec008c]But... what if we can't leave, Zari...?[/color]" Bella whimpered, not changing her position though her tone was that of fear. She wanted to go home. She wanted to send Zarius back home. She wanted to be the only one of the Meri family who got turned, knowing it wasn't safe for the others.
