And grab the supplies!

You take the bags with one hand and then the box. Everything, including the flare, is somehow with you again. With a heavy sigh, you nod to yourself and slowly return to the shack. It's as ruined as you remembered, which is good. You place the bags down and place your hands on the hatch. Before you get far however, you feel something press from behind you. It jabs uncomfortably on your lower back.

“Where are you?” A voice hissed from behind. The voice is Scarlet's, so all your tension breaks.

“It’s me,” you reply. “I’m back.”

“Oh!” She chirps. “Well, sorry for the scare. Glad to see you’re not dead. That would have been unfortunate.”

You turn and see her. A is as beautiful as you remember her being. She tucks away the knife she was using to poke you. “What took you so long? We were debating whether or not we should search for you.”

“Lots of places to explore. Just got lost in that maze.” You lie, but gesture to the bags. “Find a few things that were left behind by the last goons staying in there.”

“As expected - not a lot. Find anything fun while you were lost?”

“I...I don't know. Just lots of stuff to see, I guess.” You lie, unsure what she'd say if she heard about your weird encounter.

Scarlet chuckles. “Hey, what's with that look? You're back now, don't worry about anything.”

You shrug. “I'm not worried about anything. I just...I heard something down there too, I thought it was one of you guys.”

Scarlet leans in. "Impossible, everyone is here. You were just hearing things, don't linger on it, noobie. Do you need to unwind a little bit?"

At first, you don’t know what she’s talking about, when you take a closer look at her eyes, you quickly realize she’s becoming a little...frisky? The thought of piping her up here while everyone is below enters your mind, but you’re a little dazed from that whole last encounter. Before she can get too close, you kindly decline her offer and tell her you are tired.

“Ugh,” she groans. “Fine, but we won’t get a chance to be alone often - partners or not.”
