> Don't do the above. Better not talk about that in front of Rumia right now. Or about the hellraven, for that matter.
>You decide to discuss these matters at a later date.
> How is Rumia holding up?
> "I think it would be better if she stays with me at least until she gets those shackles removed, so I'll wait with her until you're done."
> Given how hard it was to gain her trust, leaving her alone before we've fulfilled our promise might not be the best idea.
> "Oh well. I'm sure you'll find a way."
> "We'll wait upstairs."
> If there's nothing else, go upstairs and find a room with some chairs.
> Sit down with Rumia on our lap.
> "We'll get rid of those shackles soon." Give her a smile.
>Although she is still clinging tightly to you, you can feel her lift her head to look around the laboratory every now and again. It seems that curiosity is getting the better of her.
>"Yeah, that's fine. I'll just take a second anyway."
>You wouldn't want her to think that you were abandoning her here, would you?
>"Of course I will. I have to."
>"Alright, I'll be with you in just a moment."
>You head out of the lowest level and find an empty room. It has no chairs, but it does have a bed and you take a seat on it, placing Rumia on your lap.
>Rumia nods.
>After a short while, Nitori comes in carrying a small toolbox.
>"Alright, what am I looking at?"
