She walked up to the very edge of the roof to great him, reaching her arms out to catch his soft, feathery-furry form in her bosom.<em>"you're ok..."</em>she cooed. Her voice was a comfort, but it also felt...off...distant. Between the adrenaline of the fight and his undead resistance to drugs, the Queen's Tarr had mostly worn off at this point, and with it their mental connection was weakening. He could still hear her, but it was a strain to make it out. It was like she was trying to talk to him from across a crowded room.<br/><br/>Sensing this, Eucera furrowed her brows, though her expression quickly softened, "Sorry...the Tarr is...wearing off" she said, switching back to her somewhat stilted speech. Again she had to put extra thought to her words, and while they could still feel a tinge of each other's emotions, relief chief amongst them, they were slipping out of reach, "I suppose that's just more proof of how tough you are skyroofer" she teased, giving his ears a pet.<br/><br/>"I saw you fight...well, not fully. I could not see the monster, but I saw how you and your friends were working together...you looked very valiant..." she complimented, "Though...also kind of crazy. If I hadn't known better I would think the Tarr was messing with your head" she added with a chuckle.<br/><br/>However it was at that moment that the door to the roof swung open, and the pair of guards from earlier appeared, apparently having managed to catch up in the time Juro was occupied with the fight. The two looked at the Princess, and Juro could very faintly hear their voices again, but at this point it was impossible to make out what they were actually saying. Eucera looked at them, then down at the rabbit-eared owl she hugged tenderly to her chest, and back again. Even without their link Juro could see the conflict on her face, though eventually she seemed to relent with a sigh.<br/><br/>"They are right...I'm sorry skyroofer..." she said, gently setting Juro down and giving him an apologetic smile, "It seems I've made enough trouble for my guardians tonight. I have to go..." she said, though she did linger for a moment as she stared into his eyes, "...for now? Tell me your name skyroofer. Maybe we'll see each other again, and you can rescue me from my duties once more..." she said, before leaning down to whisper in one of his floppy ears, "...and next time I'll make sure my dashing hero is properly rewarded too..." she added, giving him one last pat on the head before reluctantly heading off with her guards.<br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/opmuajN.jpg)</div>And with that the night began to wind down. There was still plenty of fun to be had, drinking to be done, and shenanigans to get into, but for the Second Chance Club the excitement had peaked. Perhaps it was for the best, after all they had all undergone quite the ordeal, for some more enjoyable than for others, and they now had the rest of the night to actually relax and unwind, like they were supposed to be doing from the beginning.<br/><br/>Eventually once they all had their fill of partying, the gang would stumble their way back home to their humble headquarters. Cass'andra had already turned in for the night, though the door had been left open for them. The next morning they would wake up with differing levels of refreshment/soreness, though the vibe was over all pretty happy, happier than it had been for a while with their growing losing streak. Cass'andra was left in complete disbelief of their account of the previous night, and had it not been for the magic items they had in tow she would have accused them of lying (though a not insignificant part of her still thought they were lying and had just stolen the jewelry somehow). The bit about a Lunar Knight roaming the city was a bit worrying, but seeing how it was dead now she more or less shrugged it off, "So, did you guys win anything at the games?" she asked, wondering if they had even bothered to play at the casino at all.<br/><br/>It was then that Valna would be going through her coin purse, and noticed that she was a whole 50 gold short of what she should have had.....<br/><br/><hr/>At some point last night<strong>Valna</strong>was robbed, though she unfortunately didn't catch it at the time. It was quite ironic really, almost funny in a karmic sense. (-50 gold)
