> Fly back down to the ground, pulling our umbrella back out and opening it up again in the process. This descent doesn't need to be nearly as fast as our previous flights.

>You gently make your way back down to the ground, putting your umbrella back up over you.
>You land in a field of tall grass, coming up to your waist, and dotted with small trees and bushes. You see a hare leaping away as you land.

>You look around, and it takes you a few moments to see it. It seems to be heading eastward now, rather than it's former northward course.

>You hope it's because she listened to you, rather than being terrified by someone sudden smacking down on that deathtrap...
>You drop down to a more normal altitude, and continue along a southwesterly course. Well, really it's just more of a southern course after your detour. Soon you are passing over the Bamboo Forest, noting it is rather quiet in faerie activity compares to the Forest of Magic, then past it as you reach it's southern border where it gives way to the Forest of Magic once more.
>Looking around, you can't immediately identify where the heretics' home is, but you have a sneaking suspicion it is probably located somewhere close to the thin plume of what you assume is chimney smoke rising from the trees.

>After a few moments, it opens a crack and you see a lavender eye look out at you for a moment, then the door opens more fully to reveal a frowning Rikako. "You look terrible," she says. "Did you fall in a river or something?"

>"Really?" says Rikako, as you walk in. You note she is wearing a white coat made of coarse material, and a white collared shit with a yellow bow around her neck. "You are going to have to tell us about that. Um, would you like to stay for dinner? Kana's making rice stew."

>You head to the room in question. You remember it from last night; it was the room that you search in right before looking into the kitchen and finding Kana about to go nuts with the pots and pans. There is a bathrub against the wall, and a large washtub in the middle of the room. A laundry pole rests at one of the corners. Looking around a bit more, you see a few robes in white, green, and blue hanging near the doorway, some sized for Rika, and others for Rikako. The former would probably fit you better in your natural shape, though you'll need to retract your wings.

>You retract your wings, take a moment to take advantage of the bath linens to dry off, and then put on a heavy pale green robe. Now you're just sore, chilly, and hungry. And you're convinced that if things were dead silent, you'd still hear a slight ringing...
