Ruby skidded to a halt to see that she was no longer being pursued by faceless, quickly pulling her sniper rifle from off of her back to try to take aim at the leader, only to end up having to lower it. "Nuts, they're pulling back." she said to herself, looking to Akodo.
She took a swipe at one of them, but missed due to their retreat back to the portals. She sheathed her sword and looked about as well to see all of the faceless leaving the area. "What's going on?" she said, looking at the scenery.
"I don't know but we need to get to Folen, quick." she said, slinging her sniper rifle onto her back again before she saw Vosur coming their way.
It took him about a minute to catch up with the other two, also having seen what was going on. "Let's go back to Folen. We'll figure everything out there."
Meanwhile, Icey regrew the temporary wings and took off towards where she left Daisuke, following the water as close as she could. "Alright, kiddo... where are you?" she spoke to herself, waiting to see some sign of him as she glided above the water as she let her fingertip run along the top of the water.
Seeing a familiar person from the water, Daisuke swam up to the top of the water and reached his hand from it to catch Icey's hand.
She wasn't anticipating a sudden hand coming out of the water and grabbing her own. Out of reaction, she caught hold of the hand and flew higher, pulling the boy out of the water to see his fully-changed form while he was wet. "Oi kid, don't do that to me." she said with a laugh as she grabbed hold of his other hand with hers to carry him a little bit easier.
"Sorry." he said, laughing a bit when he heard her laugh, his fish-like tail wagging a bit as he air-dried. It didn't take him long for him to completely dry while they were flying, and when he did dry, he revered back to his normal form, his tail still wagging though.
