After some hurried searching, Lance and Meri find another carriage, ready to pick them up. Shortly after they get on, the carriage starts moving, taking the two on their way back home.

During the trip, the two have some inquries about unanswered things:

M: "Oww. W-Why did we had to hurry like that ?"

L: "Oh, well uh, I just noticed this carriage so I wanted us to reach it first. Guess we lucked out, hehe."

M: "Well, if you say so..."

L: "... Say, all this time there was one thing that bugged me but completely forgot about it."

M: "Hmm ? Like what ?"

L: "Remember... back when you ran towards Cerberus, when he was dragging off that prick who picked on you ? What did you tried do there and then ?"

M: "Oh... I-I wanted to know what that man did to the poor Kikimora and if she was alright."

L: "... And ? You didn't said anything about it for the rest of the time."

M: "Well... while I was around Mister Aro in the theatre the other day, I heard some people talk about it. They said that she was mostly shaken but not hurt."

L: "Phew, that's good to know. Sounds like it ended well."

M: "Yes. They even said that Cerberus took care of her."

L: "... Cerberus ? The 'humanitarian' ? Taking care of someone ? I find that hard to believe..."

M: "Mmm. Maybe, who could tell ? People were rather talking in hush about it. After all, he is very, very-"

L: "-I don't care. I don't feel like talking about him". He was rather cautious about such topics, looking around and the carriage driver. "Let's change the subject; what were you and 'Lady' Cyndwella were whispering back there ?"

M: "Eyyy ?! Uhh, n-nothing, nothing at all, really... Teehee". She laughs nervously, trying to hide her embarrassment.

L: "... Really ?"

M: "A-Absolutely ! She... she was just t-telling me... weird things, that she knew..."

L: "... Like, what ?"

M: "Ehhh, I-I don't know. I couldn't understand a-anyway. Silly me, teehee."

L: "... Yeah, I get ya. She can be really, REALLY bizarre sometimes, does she ?

Whatever. Anyways, we can relax now. Here, I got a little something for ya."

M: "What is that ?"

L: "It's a book about adorable dog-girls. Marcus gave it to me. Look: it's called 'Kobolds and their Sweet Spots'."

M: "Haww ! The're so cute !"

L: "I know, right ? Here; there's like, at least 5 or 6 ways on how rub their ears. There are some nice techniques on paw-massages, too."

M: "Haww, I want one !"

L: "Yeeeah, I don't think they are pets, Meri..."

M: "Hmmph ! But I would take good care of her ! I promise."

L: "... Like I said; I don't think we're kinda ready for that yet... We'll see.

The two enjoy the remainder of the trip back while looking at cute pictures of Kobolds.

(I am, really, really sorry it took this long)
