> "Understood. Be well, Amaya. We will be back for you, and for everyone else. Just...try not to talk about it."
> Beckon for Tenshi to follow us, then take flight and head for the lake.

>Amaya curtsies. "Be well, Lady Nagae."
>You take flight, Tenshi following behind you. As the lake is only a few yards from the mansion, you quickly reach it.

>Sort of, if you squint really hard. You can't really see anyone from this distance.
>You have a look around. There's a few faeries playing over the lake, but nothing seems to be paying you any mind.
>You start to push your way into the forest. It is about as thick and annoying as you recall it being yesterday. Still, you can pick out bare spots here and there.
