(Hound)

Lance glares at Cyndwella, thinking that what she said might have been disrespectful. Though what little he knows about Hex, he figures this might be yet another attempt at 'matchmaking'. He shrugs it off and goes outside. There she finds Lina, staring at the moon above the foggy horizon of Lunalight. She appears to be holding an empty cup, having finished her tea already. Then she noticed Lance.

Lina: "Oh, Lance. I have not noticed you there. How are you faring, dear ?"

Lance: "Uhh, I'm good, sorta. Just had a drink with Marcus, then I decided to get out for some air. How about you ?"

Lina: "Well, I was merely enjoying the sights. And a cup of tea, as you have noticed."

Lance: "Ah, cool. Anyways, what happened here while we were gone ?"

Lina: "Hmmm, not much, at first. Me and Meri were simply conversing with Miss Eva while Lady Cyndwella was seemingly attending to other visitors who came to see her. They were eventualy given shelter right inside."

Lance: "Really ? There are other people around here ?"

Lina: "Yes. An odd man and a Jinko, if I remember correctly."

Lance: "What-what's a Jinko ?"

Lina: "A tigress Mamono."

Lance: "Oh, like a tiger cat-girl ? Sounds pretty awesome. And they must be cool people if Miss Cyndwella let them in. Considering all that hassle with Morgan-Ophelia earlier. Anything else ?"

Lina: "Well, afterwards, Miss Eva's watersuddenly broke and together with Meri, I assisted in her birth. Thankfuly, everything proceeded smoothly and she brought onto the worl two beautiful daughters."

Lance: "Oh shit, really ? Never imagined you had mid-wife training."

Lina: "Fufufu, it is not exactly brain-blasting. Simple knowledge I acquired during my free time lectures. Of course, I also had a few chances to help in practice."

Lance: "Wow, you're good. Really good. Great job", he says as he gives Lina a thumbs up.

Lina: "Fufu, quiet you. I only did what needed to be done. What about you ? What happened in that village ?"

Lance paused, having yet another sombre look on his face. Lina imediately picked up on this and realised it was far more severe.

Lance: "it was... horrible."

Lina: "Good heavens... Were there many souls harmed ?"

Lance: "... I'd rather not talk about it. Not now, at least."

Lina: "Then I take it that you are, in fact, still shaken by whatever you have witnessed ?"

Lance: "Look... A lot of things happened too fast there. I'm... having all sorts of thoughts running in my head. And to try to go through the event would mean that we'll be here till morning. Right now, I just want to get some sleep. Asuming I don't get freaking nightmares. Besides, Meri's probably waiting for us both. I bet she's a little cranky."

Lina: "... Very well. Perhaps we shall better assess what happened after some rest. Let us go."

Both Lance and Meri then come inside the mansion, silently passing Eva and asking Cyndwella. "Welp, let's see the room now."
