| On the Black Mambo Sunset continued her detection spell, washing the light over the ships continuously as she tried to somehow narrow down their intruders to more specific locations, though that was proving difficult; whoever was on the Black Mambo, at least one of them was using a lot of magic down in the lower decks and it was throwing off her ability to focus by some way.
The mother and daughter pair had been mostly left to their own devices while the captain and the stowaway had shouted themselves hoarse at each other and then suddenly found out about a potential intruder. It was with no indication beforehand that the two of them felt a tap on their shoulders and a voice whispering in their ears.
"Please don't make any noise." A voice whispered to the two of them; in a stark contrast to everyone else the voice, of a young sounding stallion, sounding scared and a little jumpy. "That captain just scared me so bad I thought my cloaking spell would drop, I don't wanna know what he'll do if he finds out I stowed away. You've gotta help me, I can't hold this cloak up forever, please promise you won't let him hurt me?" The voice practically begged.
On the other ship the captain of the Dandy Lion sat down on a barrel on deck, evidently not very bothered about it's contents. "So, mind if I ask a little bout yourself?" He asked Frosty while one of his crew threw him a bottle of rum which he offered to the engineer. "We've got an overnight trip and I'd rather not spend it towing the party boat over there." He gestured sarcastically to the Black Mambo, where at least everything seemed to have calmed down now. "Hey, you!" He called up to Zen Gale. "Do something more useful than sticking your head in the clouds; fly a mile or so ahead of the ship, let us know if any maelstroms are forming!"
Under the decks of the Black Mambo, Lightning's mana touched at the object and produced a gentle glow at first. That gentle glow didn't last very long as it shook violently and began to pull at Lightning's mana, attempting to suck out magic in a constant stream; thankfully it wasn't powerful enough to do any serious harm, no more than a feeling like being clubbed over the head, but one think that was abundantly clear was whatever the object's intended use was it would require far more magic than even most of the most learned unicorns to activate without killing them in the process.
That had enough time to make itself obvious before the object let out an air splitting whistle like some horrible dog whistle made for ponies. | |

| Star almost wanted to facehoof at his idiocy to magic. How had he not guessed it might have involved magic. He looked up at Sugary and nodded his head. "Aye!" He stepped out into the hallway and scanned if for anything. He perked his ears up and listened carefully when Sugary addressed the stowaway. Maybe he could figure out where they were just by finding out the direction they were talking from. When Lolk started talking, he went to work in trying to find her location, walking swiftly and quietly down the hall. He wasn't even paying attention to what she was saying. He paused in front of the doorway tot he room Lolk was hiding in and looked inside. He scanned the room quickly before stepping in and closing the door. "I know you're in here. Come out and I won't hurt you." He said calmly, his eyes going all around the room.
And then the dreaded whistling started and Star yelled in slight agony. "Oh that's horrible! Stop it! OH DEAR LUNA, SOMEONE STOP IT!! AH!" He put his hands over his ears to try and muffle out the evil whistling but it only helped a small amount. He pressed his back against the door. Oh how he loved and hated his sensitive hearing. Great from tracking down stowaways but horrible when a damn whistle was going off. Where in the world was that coming from anyway? | |

| To Sugary, Lolk gives a simple reply. "come alone please. The rest of you are frightening, and it don't like the yellow one." When Star steps inside the room she was in however, Lolk immediately shields her ears, then let's off an earsplitting wail. When the whistling begins, Lolk decides to focus her magic on increasing its volume instead of expending excess power creating her own. The whistling would soon be much louder, and audible to a wider range of hearing. 'Maybe next time he'll knock first, the cheeky bastard.' she thought as she continued driving up the infernal whistling. | |

| Zen looked up as he was addressed and got up shortly after. "Yeah yeah, I hear ya," Zen said as got back up and stretched a bit. Wings flared and with them, Zen was up in the air again as he preferred. He'd taken off with a bit of a spin, enjoying himself in the freedom that was the open sky and the light winds. Still having his little fun, Zen continued with the light and whimsical flying patterns as he proceeded forward ahead of the ships. Before he got too far ahead though, Zen opened a small portal right in front of him as he started a dive, and simply vanished from sight in the span of a second. A second later, another portal opened about a mile ahead and Zen re-emerged out of the opening before it closed a second later, leaving no trace of either opening. Now suitably ahead of both ships, Zen commenced with the scouting while just aimlessly floating about. | |

| lightning almost dropped the orb as she covered her ears from the sound from the item, first of all she tried to smother the item in her trench coat after taking it off to stop the sound but when it had no effect she pulled it out out and hastily thought, with little time to think she tried to stop the orb in the simplest form of logic.
if it started doing this because of the charge maybe that's how to stop it, she held the orb pu to her face and put a charge to it, it was the only logical thing to do in her now distorted mind.
now her coat was off her two pistols were visible on her back and her rifle on the inside of the coat. her gloves still covered her hands but her left arm was completely exposed, showing of her brass mechanical arm to anypony to come into the room. | |

| Verde and Viridian go quite still as they feel a tap on their shoulders and then a scared voice in their ears. They almost simultaneously look at each other and their eyes visibly shift in the direction of the young voice. Even as they do, the hidden would see Verde flick one of her ears several times with a deliberateness that suggests a pattern. A-T-H-R-E-A-T Viridian shifts her eyes away from the direction of the voice and one of her ears flicks shortly. N W-H-AT-D-O-W-E-D-O T-A-L-K "You needn't be afraid of the captain," Verde says lowly to the voice. "He appears to be impassioned, vigorous, and a bit excitable, but I don't think he'll hurt anyone that doesn't try to hurt him." "But frankly, young sir, sneaking about in hiding and then isolating two mares before asking for help doesn't build much trust." Viridian turns completely in the direction of the touch and the voice. "If you don't mean to harm us, we won't let you be hurt." "But if you're speaking with a forked tongue..." Both mares' horns start glowing as they make themselves ready. "...the captain won't be your problem. Please, remove the cloak and if you're no danger, we will protect you." Neither one visibly reacts to the stunning amount of noise beyond laying their ears down, keeping their eyes in the direction of the voice and preparing to fight if he's just pretending to be harmless. | |

| Sugary was rather well prepared to meet with Lolk quickly since there were still various things to deal with. He was also a bit more patient than some really gave him credit for as it were, but it seemed today was just not his day as he felt a distortion from another spot in the ship, and then came the loud noise from somewhere other than wherever Lolk was. At first, he stood perfectly still as his head trembled with the noise, but he had his fair share of annoyances in his life, and now this was just breaking the last straw as yet another problem was happening in his ship while he tried to concentrate on what to do now regarding the bossy Sunset, the mysterious Lolk, the heavily screaming and seemingly helpless Star, the noise itself, and the still unidentified stowaways. The Captain was far from amused as his horn and eyes suddenly flashed brightly, an aura of magic rising from the floor around him as he tried to take control of the situation. His anger was apparent, as this time, he was not bombastic in the least, but rather subtle as he spoke while his next spell manifested with deeply furrowed brows. "... Mute..." At first, the air around him seemed to ripple briefly inwards in small waves becoming infused with magic symbols if one looked closely enough, before expanding outwards all over the ship in one go. The nature of the spell was that as spoken: Meant to mute out sound by forcing it to a halt with heavy filtration, dispersion, and dampening of it. The first goal was to shut off the majority of the source of the noise, but when the spell reached the area it was coming from, he pulled back on it as he felt a distinct distortion from that area that seemed to risk having some of the spell pulled in. "That's... where Lightning is!" He knew his ship intimately. The distance between him and the distortion let him know exactly where it was coming from without having to guess. But he was hardly done as he still had other issues to deal with. At the very least, Star would no longer be subject to Lolk's retaliation as there was no loud noise to amplify when it wasn't flowing at all near them now. Carefully, he modified the spell as he moved while grabbing Sunset to come with him, willingly or otherwise as he had no intention of letting her go at the moment as he had far too many important issues to account for which included her goals and her promise. The modification of the spell was to retract the effects of Mute to only work around the source area for now once he had it pinpointed, allowing for normal conversation to happen again on most of the ship as he approached Star with Sunset. He then let go of Sunset while helping, or rather urging, Star to lay down near her as he seemed incredibly distraught by what just happened as he could see Star from where he was before he came under retaliation. "Miss Sunset, look after him and stay near. I still have far too much to deal with..." He looked right into where Lolk had been hiding in, and called in very sternly while the grip on his sword was still rather firm. "And you had better come out now! I do not have the time nor the patience to keep dealing with these issues kindly! We can talk after I figure out what all the fuss is about! I will accept no other terms!" He had little choice but to be stern, because at the moment, as far as he was concerned, Lightning was all on her own to deal with whatever she had unraveled while he dealt with the stowaway problem one at a time until he was sure enough that at least Lolk wasn't a threat. He could not tend to everything at once, but he could surely try harder and more forcefully if it came to it. | |

| Needless to say when Lolk had made that dreaded whistling even louder, Star did not act too well to it. He was trying really really badly to muffle out the noise. Hell, if Sugary hadn't chose that time to mute out all the noise Star might have just ran up to the deck and jumped into the water. Oh how it really was just his luck that this would happen to him. When Sugary came over to him and urged him to lay down, he didn't object one bit. He glanced at Sunset and then Sugary before down at the ground. He was visibly shaking a little as he curled up into a ball. He whimpered a little as he muttered something. "Sometimes I wish I was born a pegasus..." He took a good few minutes before he stopped shaking, but he was still curled up into a ball. His eyes went over to where Lolk was but he didn't move a muscle except maybe glancing up at Sunset a few times. Had he heard Sugary right? Did he just give him a babysitter?! He was far too old for a babysitter no matter how damaging and shocking that noise was. He was also questioning his stay on this boat. He was very much contemplating going over to the other ship and seeing if they needed any help from a guard. | |

| Lolk drops her shapeshift as Sugary cancels out the whistling, figuring that she might as well be in a form that could at least take a hit. She glares harshly at Star. "You should' we knocked first. If you had, I might've shielded you from it." She turns to Sugary, her face still hidden by scarlet hair and the hood of her rain coat. "I didn't want things to go this way. I just wanted to not be noticed at all, and failing that, a nice calm chat. Then he barges in.... I was frightened, and acted to prevent harm to myself. Whatever his intentions, he could' e knocked first. Since I appear o have overdone it, I shall have to repay him later." She mare (or incredibly effeminate stallion, Sugary cants quite tell) seemed to freeze up as she realized she was going in a tangent, and fidget nervous, her eyes stealing longing glances at the door out of the room. | |

| Frosty accepted the rum gratefully, voicing her thanks and taking a small sip before addressing the captain. “I haven’t had a drink like this in a while. Then again, I don’t take vacations often. I’m either working on a ship or working back home.” She said, finding a crate to sit on. “So, you have questions? Ask away.” | |

| Sugary did try to give Lolk a small bit of space to come out at least, but aside from that, he kept his alert posture, and slowly reached out to her arm with his unarmed one to try and hold her. "... I'll confirm what's what when things settle down, but for now... I'm going to have to ask you to come and stay with me. I won't restrain you if you cooperate, but I cannot leave you out of my sight just yet. I want you to follow me into that room." He pointed towards the room he isolated from the noise, urging Lolk to follow for now at least. He also tried to get Sunset to keep following his orders on the ship. "Miss Sunset, please take Star out to deck when you can and stay there. It could be very dangerous down here." He was unsure of what was really going on with the device Lightning had, but he didn't want to take many risks. He also didn't want to place Lolk in danger if she was harmless, but he had far too many doubts to just let her go yet. | |

| Lolk tenses as Sugary grabs her arm. However, given how easily he performed magic similar to her own, Lolk decides she would rather do as he says and not end up a splatter of ichor on the wall. She nods to his request, slowly sliding her wrist out of his grasp and shuffling to the are he indicated. "As you wish." She murmurs quietly. | |

| "What do I look like, a babysitter?!" Sunset asked indignantly before stomping down the steps, kicking more than a bit of dust loose in the progress until she got to Star Sentinel and levitated him up with her magic without visible effort; her eyes fell on Lolk very quickly.
"If we have an intruder down there I have to insist we bring them up here where I will bind them and they can face a trial for trespassing once we reach Canterlot." Sunset called to Sugary as she tucked an arm around Star Sentinel to guide him back up the steps onto the deck. "And could one of you stop that stupid racket!" She yelled back at him. "If we must be towed back to Canterlot like this I'd rather we have our eardrums intact by the end of it!"
The moment Sunset was up on deck she dropped Star a crate to sit down before casting a spell around to search for wherever the whistling was coming from.
"One of your lower deck rooms Mr Market!" She called back down. "Not something I recognise, you might want to wait until someone more well versed in magic can get down there." She added, obviously referring to herself.
"Isn't she a right ray of sunshine." The unseen figure's voice mumbled sarcastically before a physical presence moved Viridian and Verde apart slightly as he came down off the railing he'd apparently been standing on. "Okay... captain, he's a captain, they're nice, reasonable, willing to listen.... totally not going to blast you into orbit because you helped blow up his ship..." He mumbled, trying to reassure himself more than anything; from where what felt like his arms were bumping Viridian and Verde he seemed a very tall stallion.
The whistling finally stopped down below as Lightning poured mana into the orb; once it was apparently satisfied, and judging from her light headedness it had drained a fair amount of mana but nothing that would present immediate danger, it dropped to the desk with a clang. When the strange armored griffon had handed the orb to Lightning it had been translucent, almost ghostly, so much the only way she even knew it was physically was feeling it in her hands; now it was solid orange and had what seemed to be swirling smoke in the center, a growth in size too which made it look more like an orange crystal ball than anything else.
Swirling inside the orb the smoke formed itself into a shape which began to glow bright gold out of the glass, like a project. From where the light was cast on the wall it cast a perfect projected image of Princess Celestia's cutie mark.
Back on the Dandy Lion the captain sat down with Frosty on the deck, producing a few bottles of drink for them while barking occasional orders.
"For one thing, why the hell are you out here in the ass end of nowhere?" He asked bluntly, pouring them both cups of what looked like orange juice before he continued. "I mean you just got our engine to a state it's never been in inside of twenty minutes, enough for us to tug a boat that is bigger than us and can't aid in propulsion... and you're out in the quietest parts of the ocean instead of making big bucks as a smuggler." He finished, only half joking.
"You're either very noble or very cautious of the law." He admitted before standing up and leaning back on the railing. He looked like he was about to say something else before a loud bang of thunder went off just ahead and he jumped, misplaced his hand, and fell head over heels backwards right into the ice water.
"Hey captain, we don't throw crap in your home so don't throw it in the fishes!" One of the crewmen called to him to general laughter.
"Haha, real funny Misty Mast!" The captain called from the water, spitting a small fish out of his mouth. "Hey Frosty, you mind giving me a hand here?" He called to the egineer, even though evidently most of his crew were earth ponies too. "And hurry if you don't mind, I'd rather not waste these rugged good looks being shark food!"
That also got a few remarks from the crew.
Further ahead of the ship where Zen was scouting there was no sign of any real worries, the clouds were a bit thicker out here and the wind was against the ships but they could compensate for that without too much hassle, especially considering the Dandy Lion evidently had enough strength to pull the Black Mambo without any real hassle.
"So you're the foal with the portals." The snide voice came from inside the clouds just above Zen, and it sounded like the mare saying it couldn't have made her voice more detestable and more punchable if she had tried. "Our boss wants to thank you, those portals of yours are coming in very handy. Oh, did you like his little party trick?" She asked; from the sound of her voice she was circling him. "Neat trick with the armor isn't it? You wouldn't believe how long it took that to get put together, but you and that lunkhead with the harpoon played your role perfectly."
A crack of thunder went off in the cloud formation. "Downside for you of course, our boss doesn't like sharing powers, he likes taking them. Really nothing personal kid but would you prefer to be drowned or electrocuted." She asked, an audible kick on one of the clouds causing a violent bang of lightning. | |

| Star glared at Lolk, a flash of anger going through him. "Should have knocked? SHOULD HAVE KNOCKED?!" He sat up in a sitting position. "I'll give you knocking you little...GRR!" He hit his fist against the floor before quickly grabbing his flintlock pistol. He started to raise when Sunset decided to pick him up with magic, making his flail a bit as he let go of his pistol. He grabbed the barrel of it with his other hand before it hit the ground and growled at Lolk. "You...You...!" He grumbled as he put his gun back in it's holster. Being hurt by a stupid whistle and having a mare say he should have knocked when a door had been clearly opened really peeved him off a bit. He he crossed his arms over his chest as he was taken back above deck.
He sat quietly on the crate that Sunset had left him at and grumbled. His ear twitched to the side of him as he heard talking. He raised an eyebrow and looked over at Verde and Viridian. He hummed quietly to himself before shaking his head. They were probably just talking to themselves, but the voice he heard didn't sound like them. Maybe he was just imagining it, or maybe they were talking to someone he couldn't see! Oh don't be ridiculous. Surely that's not possible. But I'll keep an ear on them. He thought to himself as he winced at the sound of thunder. Oh how he hated loud noises. | |

| "Aye, that'd be me," Zen replied with a wide grin to the introductory statement from the mystery mare in the clouds, and he'd continue responding to each of her statements as they came. "And quite the trick it was. Though I'd love to see how he handles the limitations," Zen added with a chuckle to the rhetorical question. "Oh, so it's the armor that does it, wonder how long it can handle the strain..." he said with a bit of a trail off and tapping a hoof to his chin in thought, or possibly mock thought, it was a little hard to tell if the stallion was taking any of this seriously.
"Well that's no way to make company," he added quickly to the first part of the mare's statement after the thunder crack. Then Zen began to chuckle again as he hovered about. "Only options A and B? You are terrible at these multi choice questions, hehehe. Don't ya know, there's supposed to be four or more options?" Zen asked rhetorically. He continued hovering where he was, leaning back a bit in the air as he listened to the voice circling him, but not focusing explicitly on it. Sure it sounded like this mare was underestimating him, but he'd already preformed one show of power and he didn't want to underestimate the immediate opposition. So while he was leaning back with his hands behind his head, one hand dipped into the sleeve of the other and created a small portal inside where just the tip of the scythe's blade peeked out. Zen's fingers clasp the edge of the weapon, and the runes along the flat of the blade began to glow while still inside the pocket dimension and well hidden from the mystery mare. | |

| And there it was, Sunset once again grating at his nerves. Sugary was certainly going to try and help her out. "I hope she gets scurvy..." But her haughty attitude was anything but charming to him. "I already know something is wrong there, little Miss Elite. That's why you're staying out!" Some day, they would be friends... Maybe...
His focus then shifted to just Lolk and whatever was happening to Lightning. While his grip was firm, it was not as if he was jerking her arm around either. He wasn't that high strung. "... I think I remember you from just before the attack began, but please just put up with me for now, It's just the way I wanna take care of things. I really have no intention of harming you if you were just hiding." It wasn't much reassurance, but he did try to keep Lolk under some level of comfort at least. As he tentatively removed the Mute spell he cast earlier to see if the loud noise was still going on. "No noise... Not sure of good or bad... Something does feel different though... It's... Warm.....?"
He opened the door cautiously, and gazed upon the scene before him. He saw a seemingly tired Lightning, and a glowing orb with a symbol he had only ever seen in rather high profile locations as far as he was concerned. "Miss Lightning, you okay!? Do you need help? And what happened, what is that?" He couldn't very well enter the room fully yet, not until he was sure things were safe enough. If he could help Lightning, he would, but he couldn't risk Lolk coming to harm if he could avoid it for now. | |

| lightning turned her head cautiously, as if she had a headache or as if she was dizzy and didn't want to fall over she found her seat sat down and looked to sugary and nodded at her minor discovery. "im fine sir, just.. my experiment went a little airy but i think it's all good now" she closed her eyes to focus and calm her head a little. she looked to the orb noticing the changes and the projected image. "now that's new.." she said at that. "um.. sorry! its an orb thing, i'm not sure of its purpose yet but i feel i should keep it safe and learn of its secrets." she rubbed her normal shoulder with her bionic hand, she got up picked her coat up put it in the corner and got out her notebook, using the notebook she wrote some of her findings then turned to sugary. "you've been around quite abit right, what's that symbol on the wall?" she asked ready to write. | |

| Verde and Viridian glanced at each other once more and parted a little before him, visibly and obviously moving their hands towards weapons in mute warning against him trying anything. Both turn their heads to look directly at who's pushing them aside and find... nothing. Immediately, they actually grip the weapons and start pulling them out, Viridian with a curiously wavy knife, Verde with a crowbar on her hip. "Now that there's far enough until you take the cloak off," Viridian says to him, her arm visibly tensing in preparation to draw in case she needs to. "And explain why ya sound like a damn zebra," Verde adds. Viridian moved her eyes towards her daughter. "I would presume that it's because he is..." Verde does the same in mirror. "Or just lives in Zerica." Viridian sighs and looks hard at the stranger. "So who are you, and why are you here?" | |

| Lolk sighs. "As you wish. I would prefer if you let go of my arm, but I suppose I can see why you would be wary of doing that. Lead on." He was, by her estimates, a powerful spell caster of one stripe or another. In the interests of avoiding her face bursting into flame. She starts as she notices him dropping the mute spell. Before it completely goes, she folds her own sound deadening spell around her ears, in case the whistling was still there. When she sees it was't however, she dials back the power if the spell and peeks cautiously out of the room. | |

| Seeing that Lightning was well enough, Sugary instead focused more on the symbol itself as he brought Lolk in with him. The more he looked at it, the more at ease he felt. His firm grip on Lolk was a bit more subdued as he seemed to relax briefly, though the hold was still a cautious one. He then spoke with a smile. "... I've never actually seen it myself, but... That looks like Celestia's cutiemark... Of the few memorabilia I've seen of her, it's the same by design. I've also seen it close to some areas were Royal Guards are more active, but I often doubted the symbol meant the same for all of them... Ah!" It was then he reminded himself of the situation in its entirety, and cut the explanation short as he spoke to Lightning first. "Miss Lightning, I think our bossy red-maned guest would like to inspect that too. You might wanna take it to her right away. Be careful though, she supposedly detected a couple hidden on the ship still. Miss Lolk here appears to have been one of them though, so I don't know if the other one is a threat or not. Be cautious."
He then looked to Lolk. "As for you... I'd like you to tell me why you're on my ship, and who you came with. You're gonna help me look around for anyone else that could still be hiding down here. Got that? We can come to terms then... Course, we may as well start here." He'd lightly urge for her to help him keep looking around in the room they were once Lightning decided to either go out or stay in the room, unaware that the other hidden one was likely revealing himself up on the deck as there were many up there as is for him to focus. If anything, it would give Lolk and Sugary time to get to know each other a bit better the more they moved about. | |

| lightning writ down what he said, documenting it all then doing a rough sketch acknowledged what sugary said with an ear twitch. "so this has something to do with the princess then sir? interesting.." as soon as she heard the suggestion to show the mare the orb she decided to go with it, she also thought quickly about intruder/s and decided she should take her guns. She headed to her coat, took her rifle and two pistols out of her coat. she hung her rifle on her back, cocked one of her pistols and holstering the other. she picked up the orb that was mildly warm now and put it in her satchel. she turned to sugary and smiled, "where can i find this guessed of ours?" she said taking her hat off and put it with her coat, adjusting her eyepatch. | |

| Sugary took a quick moment to look at Lightning, who was more armed than he initially surmised. "Huh? If I knew where the other stowaway was, I'd have tracked him down myself. I'm just looking for anyone I don't know yet. That's all I can tell ya. You'll just have to keep your eyes sharp." And with that, he kept scouring in the room to look at the closets and the like while waiting on Lolk to share more with him, but ultimately found that the bedroom was not hiding anyone quickly enough. | |

| Lolk bites her lip, not wanting to answer. eventually though, she gives in explains. "I was honestly here to get first dibs on anything. I thought you were going to die, and when you didn't, I thought you were interesting enough to observe." A morally questionable answer, but an answer none the less. "I will assist you in searching for the other stowaway." Instead of looking however, she listens, her powerful (Thought not Thestral level) hearing combined with her own sound manipulation letting her hear other parts of the ship. Had she not searched it top to bottom when she came aboard, this would be all but impossible. Fortunately, she still had a pretty good image of the ship's layout. "Cloaking spell.... captain... captain.... scared.... zebra... who.." Lolk looks up. "I... Think I may have heard them. I can lead you to them. Probably." | |

| Sugary was very quiet at first while Lolk shared her reasoning, not once showing a hint of emotion. Soon after she explained herself, he'd reveal why he was so calm about it with a soft smile at her. "... That's fair. I was taught not to waste anything worth salvaging long ago. The question is whether or not you'd have taken care of my stuff as I do. I'll keep holding onto it if you don't mind though. But if you're really willing to help, I might share some of it with you." Soon after, he'd learn she probably really meant what she said, looking quite eager to see if she was telling the truth. "Oh? Then go ahead, lead me to them." His grip remained much of the same, but he was less twitchy still as Lolk moved compared to earlier, being slowly more willing to let her go, but not quite just yet. | |
