Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

The faerie flies away and hides.

Abigail's closet seems to be quite easily visible in her room, but Sapphire's mask is nowhere to be found.

 

Sapphire seems pissed.
"Been a week..." She growls, heading back downstairs and looking for any possible clues for where she went.

 

There doesn't seem to be much evidence, though the house seems rather clean and tidy.

There's another clatter from the kitchen.

 

Not caring about the integrity of my hands, I take them and head back to the pile of talons.

 

Sapphire checks it again.

You cut yourself up a bit. Not too much, but deep.

You might need a crate. Everything's sharp and may very easily puncture a bag.

 

It's the faerie again, who seems to have managed to get the lid off the sugar pot and is eating two handfuls of sugar, her hands together. From the faerie's size, however, it's more like a spoonful relatively. She sits on the edge of the pot, not noticing Sapphire.

 

Sapphire just watches.
"Hey, do you know the homeowner?"

 

The faerie throws sugar everywhere as she jumps in fear, before trying to hide behind the sugar pot.

 

"No nets this time, just a question. Do you know the person who lives here?"

 

"Y-Yes, sort of." The faerie says nervously, peeking out from the sugar pot.

 

"Do you visit her often?"

 

"Occasionally, s-she sometimes leaves things out for me." The faerie says nervously.

 

I say that it is of immediate importance.

 

"Do you have any idea where she went?"

They don't seem to care. At all.

 

The faerie shakes her head.

"I saw her hurrying out of here after locking her door, but I didn't follow her." The faerie says.

 

"Was she carrying anything, that you could see?"

 

Once I get to the talons, I place the blades down and look around.

 

"No...I don't think so. She had a different shirt on though. It was black or dark blue, I think. I also think her hair looked a little different too." The faerie says.

 

The night is absolutely silent. So silent, in fact, you can hear the screams and cries from the battle that the Matriarch said would happen...

"Was her hair not red anymore, or something?"

 

I tell them that I am on a diplomatic mission from a far off kingdom and that the fate of my kingdom rests on this.
