Haley hugged you back, as much as she could with her soaked wings. She was still panting, still reeling from the dangerous experience that happened mere minutes earlier. The Siren was unable to answer for a few moments.
She then raised her talon to look at Samuel's coat, also wet from river water. "Yeah, I think this is his coat. Not sure how I still managed to hold onto it." Haley let out a weak chuckle followed by a sniff. With a heavy sigh, she continued. "I think I've rested enough, and I think I want to do the rest of the recovery back at the guild."
Haley then stared down the river and let out another sigh. "I know he was dangerous and crazy but... I hope that Samuel guy is alright. I don't... I don't think I can... N-Never mind, you ready to head back, hon?"

Spraying ice on the ground, Nagare managed to make the Lizardman and the Minotaur to lose their footing and stumble. Ada used the opportunity to launch herself some distance away by hopping on the bull monster and jumping off her, sending the Minotaur crashing unto the Lizardman.
Ada went on the offensive, the Lizardman her target. The latter was caught off-guard and lost her sword from the Hushabye's tail whip. Ada was about to chomp down on the Lizardman's neck but then she was snatched in the air by the recoverd Ogre. The Ogre's strength was far superior than Ada's and pulled the latter into a bear hug that choked air out of the Hushabye.
The Lizardman and Minotaur used the opportunity afforded to them to recover and go after Nagare. The former moving much faster than the bull monster.

Receiving a slash, Ditzy would notice that the Salamander's attack left no wound, not even a scar. Although, he did feel a bit more tired and dizzy after.
The male Hobgoblin retaliated with a heavy vertical swing from his sandbag. The fiery lizard monster noticed the strength behind it and made no attempt to block it. With deft feet, she avoided Ditzy's swing as well as the shoulder charge he made after. The Salamander left her tail as the Hobgoblin lunged, leading him to trip to the ground vulnerable.
The Salamander rammed her blade into Ditzy. Like earlier, her sword made no wound and did not hurt the Hobgoblin. Instead, it seemed to sap Ditzy of his strength. But then, Sir Reed tackled the Salamander off of Ditzy and began to duel against her.
The Hobgoblin was feeling under the weather and his vision was beginning to blur. But the fight was still going and there were two tired Orcs coming at him.
"They're using Demon Realm Silver, Ditz!" Sir Reed yelled as he battled the Salamander, maneuvering the fight to get closer to Ada and Nagare. "Nothing life-threatening, but it sure kicks ass!"

Ian appeared genuinely shocked. "Wow, you guys are good. I’m the last person I expected, but I was looking for me all this time! It's the perfect crime!"
The temperatures in the room rose thanks to Vară's rage manifesting through her power. Ian was not at all afraid of the looming fireball aimed directly at him. "V-Vară?" Neil was beside the source of the inferno and sweat built up in his head, beads already dripping down. "I-I think you should calm down...?" Despite his attempt to dissuade, he did not blame the Flame Demon for being angry. It was a pretty blatant deception, after all. Albeit, seemingly a poorly-thought one.
"However! You sure have guts threatening me, little one." Ian said, brimming with confidence. "While I may not be as famous as the Demon Lord herself, I do know how to fight. And I fight good, real good." The armored thief boasted. "You sure you wanna bop with me, little V?"
"Sir Ian, please!"

The lady knight heard Yang's challenge and pulled her sword out of a rebel before approaching the disguised monk. She said nothing in response and immediately lunged at Yang.
She was quick and graceful with her blade, so fast that Yang could barely keep up. But the lady knight did not attempt to defeat the monk with swordplay, she threw her sword at Yang after several swings and tackled the monk into the ground. Her steel gauntlets found Yang's neck and she began to strangle the guild member and probably break her neck. The metal hurt the flesh and the monk was in trouble.
Meanwhile, the two archers fighting Kira were intercepted by a couple of rebel allies. The bowmen were quickly dispatched, their light armor providing little protection against the rebels' war axes. "Langaw!" The rebel spoke to Kira. "Kailangan mong patayin iyong pinuno! We need to kill the leader to defeat them!" He pointed at the lady knight accosting Yang.
"Bilisan niyo! This fight cannot continue like this!"
Uninvited Guests

The uninvited guests made a collective cheer. They would be dining in a feast this day, blissfully unaware that the dish may not be as complete as a normal one. Then again, an incomplete lasagna may be more than what these monsters typically eat.
The monster group collectively 'Oooh'd at Sylvia's words. Something to lure men was definitely something a usual monster could use. Although, they could easily go back on their agreement and use the nectar on a guild member. Fortunately, their childlike innocence made it unlikely for them to renege on their promises. That and the Altissima sister could easily sic their warrior members on them.
"Okay!" The monsters obliged and happily took the crackers from the Liliraune and shared it amongst themselves.
The monstrous pests were pacified and content for now, not one of them wandering from the kitchen. With the snacks in their hands, they watched the Altissima sisters prepare the lasagna feast and eagerly anticipated the finished meal. Soon, the Giant Mouse the Liliraune caught spoke up.
"Hey, hey. You two seem pretty intent on protecting your men. Are they married? Do you like one of them?" The question piqued the group's interest and they all looked to the sisters for their answer. "Oooh, I'll bet it's the red-haired guy."
"Ehhh, I doubt it. There's something off about him. Can't put my finger on it."
"What about the plain boy? With the short brown hair?"
"Mmmm, I think he's too plain for these two."

"Just take your time, rest and recover. We can try to find Samuel... Or whatever was left of him afterwards. By the way... is that his coat?"

"The illusion of your cleverness ends here. I've heard the testimony of the witness from last night, an individual who was able to enter the room without breaking in was seen running off into the distance. The clanking sound heard suggests that he was an armored figure, all qualities you possess. Confess your crimes your craven wretch! You can either be detained by the authorities peacefully, or you can be carried off on a stretcher with your body charred to cinder!"
Ian appeared genuinely shocked. "Wow, you guys are good. I’m the last person I expected, but I was looking for me all this time! It's the perfect crime!"

"Lasagna is a pasta dish with tomato paste and lots of cheese! It's a big dish, so there should be plenty to go around."
The uninvited guests made a collective cheer. They would be dining in a feast this day, blissfully unaware that the dish may not be as complete as a normal one. Then again, an incomplete lasagna may be more than what these monsters typically eat.
"As for the nectar, since I can't agree to give you a man from the Guild, I gave you the nectar instead. Alraune nectar is magical and can be used to lure men and make them fall in love with you."
The monster group collectively 'Oooh'd at Sylvia's words. Something to lure men was definitely something a usual monster could use. Although, they could easily go back on their agreement and use the nectar on a guild member. Fortunately, their childlike innocence made it unlikely for them to renege on their promises.

"...Just...stay in the kitchen. Here, some things to snack on while you wait."
"Okay!" The monsters obliged and happily took the crackers from the Liliraune and shared it amongst themselves.
