>Chiyuri gives Yumemi a pointed look, which the latter completely ignores. She then groans and says, "Sit tight, I'll be back with everything."
>She leaves, and you're reasonably sure that Yumemi doesn't notice. You continue to maintain the demon fire, while Yumemi continues to, you assume, monitor it. After a few minutes, Chiyuri walks back into the room, pushing along what you assume is the wheelchair. It is made of metal tubes, with a padded seat of some kind of material you can't recognize in the middle of it. Two large wheels with handles dominate the sides of it, while little tiny ones rest at the front. You note there are little metal pads to place your feet on near the smaller wheels. As well, sitting on the seat is a large bucket made of metal. It looks large enough for you.

And frankly, if we could get the stuff and had the time, it wouldn't be a problem to make a new one. And the thing I'm scared of is that the Empire is going to figure out how to do it themselves."
