Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

The group climbs onto Sgavrinn once they exit the concert area.

"Do you know the way back, Sgavrinn?" Abigail asks.

 

He shakes his head.
"Artemis, I can backtrack, but she needs to give me the pointer to turn."

 

"He needs your help again, so he knows when to turn." Artemis says.

"Ok, fly east and I'll tell you when to start flying more south." Abigail says happily.

 

He nods, taking off, turning at the cue, and landing on the edge of Abigail's volcano.

 

Abigail pets Sgavrinn as she gets off with Artemis and I, heading around the side of her volcano and taking a ladder down into her house. Artemis and I take the stairs instead.

 

Sgavrinn trails Artemis, biting the leash off as he goes.

 

Artemis and I head down to Abigail's house, Abigail opening the door for us when we arrive.

"I'm really glad you guys decided to come with me to this concert." Abigail says happily, though looking rather tired.

 

Sgavrinn digs the mud and leaves out of his ears, then nuzzles Abigail.
"Artemis, have you seen Stephanie? Xlentia asked if she was still dedicated to... uh... I forgot, but it was something!"

 

"I think she's still back in that alternate dimension." Artemis says, thinking.

 

"Alterwhat?" Sgavrinn asks, confused as he wriggles through Abigail's doorway.

 

"The world with the forest and the desert." Artemis says simply, smiling.

 

"She wasn't there when Sapphire looked." Sgavrinn replies, more confused.

 

"Strange...maybe she just went home." Artemis says.

 

"I wonder why Xlentia got so worked up over her, though."

 

"She did kill Stephanie. Perhaps she felt guilty?" Artemis suggests.

 

"She's apologized and everything... why else would both of them be worked up?"

 

"I'm not sure. I should probably talk to Stephanie about it when I next see her." Artemis says, lost in thought.

 

Sgavrinn keeps silent, uneasy.

 

Abigail seems to have headed upstairs, and I arrange a few pillows and blankets on her sofas for Artemis. Artemis heads into the living room, lying down on one of the sofas, myself lying down on another sofa.

 

Sgavrinn grows a flower that releases a relaxing aroma as he falls asleep halfway into the living room.
