"I mean... light, they told me this would be like four hours at most! What have I gotten myself into?!!"

“Trouble. But it’s okay. We can help” Kathlin said kindly to the cowering girl, who was now glancing fearfully at the door as though she was expecting Serphia to charge through it at any moment – a reasonable assumption. The girl opened the satchel to peer at the contents inside, before glancing at Liaena. “Li….are any of these an antidote for transmogification?”

“….”

“Li?”

“’….weren’t you….are you….are you okay?” 

Liaena stuttered finally at the other girl, who merely raised her eyebrows back. “Hm? Yes. I’m practically a seasoned veteran at this point. Are all your holidays this violent?”

“I thought….” Liaena shook her head in bewilderment. With the failure of the illusion, the spider-webs were slowly creeping away from her brain as she slowly pieced together her surroundings. With clarity, confusion was rapidly being replaced by rage as she clambered to her feet. “Where’s Sharon!? Rithrynn?”

“Rithrynn is in there, with Serphia and two Draenei.” Kathlin pointed at the room they had just left, from which crashing and bangs, mingled with shouts of “die!” and “traitor” emanated. “Sharon is….I’m not sure. I saw him on Rithrynn’s shoulder earlier?”

“…[b]damn[/b] it!” Liaena cursed as she made for the door to the study, before twisting around to thrust a hand at Kathlin. “Give me that back!”

Kathlin twitched it slightly out of reach, by holding it above Liaena’s head. The look on the shorter girl’s face strongly implied that she would suffer for that at some later date “Antidote? Transmogification?”

“What!?”

“For her” Kathlin nodded down at the unfortunate Silje, still cowering at their feet. “If the Captain sees her, she’ll kill her…” the look on Liaena’s face strongly suggested that she considered this no terrible loss to the world “…instead of fighting the death knight. Or y’know…actual threats”

“….”

“[b]Fine[/b]! Fine. It’s the pink one. She needs a strand of hair from herself, or whatever she wants to be. Now give me that!” Liaena snapped. The other smiled and nodded, removing the appropriate vial before passing it back to the shorter girl. “Should we evac, Li?”

“Maybe. Not decided yet”

-SLAM-

“Well, that’s that” Kathlin remarked lightly to nobody in particular, before crouching down beside Silje. “You should take some of this, before the Captain sees you again. She doesn’t really like being impersonated”
