All things considered, it was almost an anti-climax to be ported back to the centre of town. The spear guy had come just in time to save her bacon and perhaps he deserved a bit of recognition for that, but he ran off before Pyotr could lay on some gratitude. Fair enough, she might as well deal with that later. She also noted the appearance of another one of their party, the ever elusive Yui. [i]Never had much chance to talk to her,[/i] she mused. Not for lack of trying of course, but the opportunity never came... It occurred to her that there were more pressing matters to attend to. With Yui and Spear-guy helping around the town and Umichi playing Sonic the Hedgehog, the most use she could be was, regrettably, helping Suki with that stone. She set off, trying to compartmentalise her ambivalent feelings toward the girl and the desire not to see her die. Pyotr charged in to swat a mob about to pounce on Suki's back, then joined in with bashing the stone in a rhythmic miner's style.
