"Wait, not yet! Let me pack my stuff!" Pecorine says as she picks the fallen bugs up, then turns to Amira,
"I'm sure these'll go well with the mushrooms~."
"You guys got a fireplace in there?" Kyaru asks, still a wet cat.
Gran and Djeeta lead the crew deeper into the forest, where the Grandcypher was parked in at the base of the mountain.
"Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, the skyworthiest thing in the... uh... sky," Gran shows all the sight of the Grandcypher.
"It's made of wood... it's just like a medieval fantasy world..." the nervous one ran up to the side of the great gallion and rubbed her face upon it.
"Nono!" her eyepatched friend ran after her,
"you'll get splinters!"
"Well, at least my burden's a bit lighter now, probably," Kyaru adds, looking at the eyepatched one,
"and Pecorine, are we really going to eat that?"
"Come on, come on Kyaru~ maybe you find tiny bugs disgusting, but I'm sure the big ones must be real nice~. They're big and juuiicy~."
"NO!"
The internal of the Grandcypher - the
lobby - was like the external - homely and wooden. It was likened to a living room combined with a dining room, adorned with a wide range of chairs and tables, where various individuals could chat and converse.
Gran waves to the collective group as they entered one by one.
"I'm going to get the main crew from the deck to introduce you to them, and them to you."
"Only appropriate that I do too," Djeeta adds, pointing upwards and gesturing to some stairs,
"anyone want to join us, see them before the rest do? I just know you'll love them."
"Uh... tell them I'll be drying my clothes off," Kyaru adds,
"somehow."
"I've never seen your gang before~" Pecorine glees,
"let's go~."
"I am elated to meet them, Gran-sama," Kokkoro hushes.
Yuuki nods and approaches Gran with connecting bumps of fists.
"We have quite a bit of catching up to do, bro, what've you been up to?" Gran converses with Yuuki as the group ascends the stairs. Vyrn follows, despite having no lines to speak of.
"Tell Katalina and the others that I'll be getting to know the other Lyria better for now, unless she wants to follow you guys, then I'll be right behind you," (Crow)Lyria adds,
"hmmm... I'm sure some will be able to tell us apart, but not everyone."
From the
kitchen, emerged an animal-eared man who approached
Saki and the
no-longer-crazed girl. Her
eyepatched friend and
nervous friend followed closely behind, seeing the situation unfold.
"Is it true, that Yggy held you two in her great palms?"
"Ygg-who?" the no-longer-crazed girl asks, confused.
"Giant tree woman," the eyepatched one comments,
"don't think I caught her name."
"Ooooh. Yeah, she did. Both of us."
"What's your secret? You have to tell me!"
"I don't know man, maybe it's just that I smell of many kinds of fungus, rotting away at wood... Fuhihi..."
From the
hallway of cabins, a very specific
youthful-looking alchemist walks out, greeting
Ladiva. The girl seemed to be withholding herself, from what - was another story. Kyaru passed by her, in a hurry to find a place to dry her wet clothes, probably.
"I've never been more glad to see you back on board, friend. Where have you been? Looks like you brought new company."
