When Sallia noticed that Miria took a few extra monts to rejoin her and Anise, she smiled to herself.
She was pretty sure that ant Miria had decided to steal the potions.
Sallia hadn’t been planning on pushing Miria to take the potions, since Miria seed pretty uncomfortable with the idea. But… Sallia was glad that Miria had decided to take them. In her current situation, Miria really needed them. Since Miria’s mother couldn’t be counted on to get Miria food and clothes, Sallia was glad that Miria was finding ways to fill in the gaps.
As Miria rejoined her and Anise, Sallia started to speed up as she climbed down the ladder. As the sll grew stronger, Sallia wrinkled her nose.
The sewers slled awful.
To be fair, she had already assud the sewers would sll gross. The sewers were sewers, after all.
There were obvious signs people maintained the sewers: the walkways on each side of the sewer were scrubbed clean and remained sturdy. However, the sewers in this part of the city had also been built a few centuries ago, when people’s understanding of architecture was nowhere near as good. Sallia nervously eyed so of the walls, which were made of stone instead of brass, before deciding that nothing was likely to collapse on the group.
But the overall experience was still gross. The sll of human waste was appalling.
“Felix-” Miria gasped before gagging.
she sent over the communication bracelet.
Sallia got a lungful of sewer sll as she tried not to burst out laughing. Miria using the communication bracelet to complain without needing to breathe too deeply was… an inventive use of the friendship bracelets.
Felix said, unusually seriously.
sent Sallia, as she got her chuckling under control.
said Anise, doing her best threatening tone over the communication bracelet.
said Felix.
Miria paused, gazing at the fetid sewer water for a mont, and then started nodding furiously. she sent, shuddering. At the sa ti, Miria started to look very thoughtful at Felix’s ntion of potions.
Sallia wondered if Miria was debating stealing all of those potions too. Sallia hoped that Miria wouldn’t feel quite so bad about stealing potions from Felix’s captors. There was at least so argunt that Miria was stealing from a random innocent person when she grabbed the potions from the shack above, but the people who had imprisoned Felix could take a dunk in the sewers for all Sallia cared.
Sallia caught Miria glancing towards the spot where she usually materialized her backpack, and a guilty expression reappeared on Miria’s face for a mont.
Sallia frowned.
Perhaps Mirai was thinking about returning the potions if the group found more to steal? That would make a lot more sense.
Miria sent over the communication bracelets.
said Sallia, as she pointed to the Northwest. As she used her third rune ability to track Felix’s friendship bracelet, she could feel Felix’s copy of the item calling to her in the distance.
said Anise.
