(Hound)

Lance was still struggling with Meri, trying his best to calm her down.

Lance: "Meri... calm down... it was... just a joke. You can... stop now..."

Meri: "No ! I don't like zombies ! Make them go away !"

This makes Lina to shake her head, calmly stand up and walk up to Meri. She then speaks to her in a pleasant voice, causing Meri to promptly snap out her comical fit of fear.

Lina: "Meri, it is alright now. There are no undeads here to take you. And even if they were, they most certainly be well behaved or even Mamonos such as us. Lady Cyndwella was simply joking. Certainly she would not allow unruly undead to roam her swamps, would she now ?"

Meri: "Ohhh... Okay."

Lina: "Very good, Meri. Please relax now. There is nothing to fear here."

Meri gently lets go of Lance, who can finaly breathe in relief both figurately and literaly.

Lance: "Huff, phew ! Man, that was rough. Good move, Lina. A few more minutes and I would've pas-"

Lina: "Lance, please be more easy when attempting such humor in the future. It might cause reaction such as this one in the future and might even cause trouble around. That, I kindly beg you Lady Cyndwella as well."

Meri: "Y-Yeah ! That was mean, both of you !"

Lance: "What ?! I didn't do anything ! She made the whole spooky jump-scare straight out of an Elvira episode."

Lina glares at Lance for a few moments

Lance: "Okay, I didn't do anything THIS TIME. Geez, I made a little joke before we got here, it wasn't that bad. Not my fault Meri is a scaredy-cat."

Meri: "Heey ! No I'm not !"

Lance: "Oh yes you are, you nearly contorted me there with your full-on bear-hug."

Meri: "No I didn't !"

Lance: "Yes you did."

Lina: "Both of you, enough."

Meri: "Haww."

Lance: "Alright, we'll stop now. Sheesh."

Lina once again shakes her head dismissvely. "Oh blimey. It is that moment again, is it not ? And at such an inopportune time as well..."
