Astra nodded to Betas words, as did Peter, though it had gone pretty much unseen. After Ash's question, Chi snirks and then chuckles. Astra doesnt respond at first, instead, appearing confused. "...Yes, you can go home?" another pause, "You aren't a prisoner here. But if you're going, you should try to be safe..." "I'll take care of her, m'lady" Peter offers from behind her, immediately gaining himself eye contact from Chi, and a twitch of the tail. But the shifter otherwise seems to accept the extra protection. Peter, meanwhile, has no idea of the teasing he had received from Dante earlier. Astra just nods slightly, before turning to Bane, "...what about locations?" In the storeroom, now filled with the illusion of normalcy, Jacob slipped into dormancy - now appearing as he was, a perfectly still corpse.
