Back to the door, Ellinor's specialty

Blair kisses Ellinor's forehead. "I want to apologize for my behavior earlier. You didn't deserve that, Ellinor." Ellinor's eyes gaze downward. Her cheeks are beet red. "No, but I understand why you snapped at me. You are under a lot of stress." She lays her head gently upon Blair's bosom. "Just remember that I just want you to be happy and safe, Blair." Blair softly smiles while gazing upon Ellinor. "True, but that isn't a good excuse to have been like that." Ellinor snuggles gently closer to Blair. "How about we go out on a date after we get out of here?"

Blair chuckles. "Is that all you want?" Ellinor bites her bottom lip. "No, but we'll see how the date goes first." Her hands run gently along the small of Blair's back. Blair kisses the top of Ellinor's head. "Oo, I wonder what I'll get for wowing you..." She playfully smiles. Ellinor's eyes close as a small sigh escapes her lips. "Nothing if you're too cocky." She playfully sticks out her tongue. Blair's fingertips slowly trail along Ellinor's spine in between her shoulder blades. Her right eyebrow lifts ever so slightly. "Should I be a pussy about it then?"

Ellinor lifts a brow then starts to laugh. "Wha? What kind of lame joke is that?" Blair sticks out her tongue. "It was a crotch-based joke." Ellinor's body shakes as her abdominal muscles flex from laughter, but she doesn't make any sound for a few seconds. "Only if you want to give pleasure to those you embrace." They start laughing in unison. Blair shakes her head. "Oh my. That is horrible." Ellinor giggles. "You started it." After a good hard laugh, Blair's mind turns its attention to the dark water doorway she saw earlier.

'The dark water doorway's observational data claimed it to harbor dark secrets. It's a doorway known by demons, necromancers, holy knights, and priests alike. There must be something truly special inside to be guarded so heavily.' Toward the tail end of her thoughts, Caesar works his way in between Blair and Ellinor. His tail wags steadily as he looks back up at them. They look at one another before laughing. They hugged him tightly. After a few minutes of showering him with affection, Blair looks at Ellinor. "Have you ever heard about a dark water doorway?"

Ellinor stops what she is doing and looks at Blair. She blinks several times then shakes her head. A little smile now clearly shown upon her lips. "I couldn't have heard that right. Could you repeat that?" Blair lifts a brow. "I asked if you have ever heard about a dark water doorway." Ellinor blinks once more. "Did you hear a rumor about one? They are extremely rare. The only person I know who has ever seen one for themself is Zane." Blair shakes her head. "Not anymore. I saw one earlier. It's why I brought it up." Ellinor gently caresses the back of Caesar's neck. "May I see it?"

Blair tilts her head a little. "Yeah, of course. Just follow me." She looks at her mini-map. "It should be..." She turns until her arrow lines up with the entrance of the tunnel she came out of. "This way." She walks toward it with Ellinor and Caesar in tow. Upon entering the tunnel, she casts Fairy's Light, summoning a flying white ball of light to illuminate their path. - 10 Mp Ellinor's hands nervously twitch upon noticing how narrow the tunnel is. "This place is creepy." Blair offers a hand to Ellinor. "It's all right. I cleared this place out earlier."

Ellinor nods, taking the offered hand gently. However, her hand trembles a little. Blair gently squeezes Ellinor's hand. "I understand that this place is a little creepy, but I'll keep you safe. I promise." Ellinor's hand quivers a little, but no longer trembles. "R-right." Caesar lets out a soft bark, running ahead of them. Blair and Ellinor continue to hold hands while walking to the main chamber. By the time they reach the main chamber, Blair had cast Fairy's Light two more times to keep it going. 10 x 2 = 20, - 20 Mp

Caesar growls softly while staring at the dark water doorway with a skull marker over it. The Fairy's Light illuminates the room, making it easy to see the tiny waves of dark water coursing back and forth in between the archway. Ellinor's eyes sparkle with excitement as she runs to the front of the doorway. "Wow! This looks amazing." She brings her right hand to her lips. "If only I could take a sample..." Blair walks over to Caesar and gently rubs his back. "It's all right. We're not going to touch it."

He stops growling, turning to look at her and softly pants. She looks at Ellinor, who was busy mumbling something to herself. "You wouldn't happen to have a flaskey on you, would you?" Ellinor's mumbling comes to a halt before she looks at Blair. "A flaskey? Goodness me..." She gently pats her body as if she were looking for something important. "No, but I can make one with the right ingredients and... Ah!" She pulls out three small, sealed vials from a hidden pocket in her short black skirt.

Each was filled with a different colored viscous liquid, purple, red, and green. She smiles brightly. "These will allow me to create a flaskey once I have the other ingredients. The ingredients should be easy enough to get from the abyss auction. I need Sprite's Dust x 30, Ectoplasm x 10, and two handfuls of sand." She sticks out her tongue. "Not that we need to buy the sand." She looks back at the dark water doorway. "Hmm, flaskeys are used to absorb large amounts of dangerous material..."

Her eyes widen. "Do you plan to use it to remove the dark water from the dark water doorway? That's brilliant!" Blair was certain she had some of those ingredients in her inventory and, while she was looking for them, she was surprised to hear of what a flaskey did. Her cheeks turn pink as embarrassment hit her. 'I just assumed the flaskey was a key of some sort. Now I feel silly...' She clears her throat. "Actually, I have everything apart from the sand in my inventory. Where would you like me to put them?"

Ellinor looks around for a moment. "Put them over here." Her hand points to a section of ground a few steps in front of her. Blair takes out Sprite's Dust x 30 and Ectoplasm x 10 from her inventory and sets it where Ellinor indicated. Leaving her with no Sprite's Dust and Ectoplasm x 5 remaining. That was when her eyes glossed over Vivi's Whimsy and Secrets of Ln'eta Page x 10. 'I wonder what those do.' Ellinor gently rubs Caesar's head. "Good boy." Blair uses Observe on those two items and looks over the information provided.

Observe:

Vivi's Whimsy. Rare Quality. Allows for the selection of one of the following items when used: Flaskey, Vivi's Croquet Set, and Tome of Lightning Tornado. Consumed on use.

Secrets of Ln'eta Page. Uncommon. Combine 10 pages to recreate the original tome, How to Survive Ln'eta. Material: Enchanted Ink and Enchanted Parchment. 2/2 Durability.

She smiles after reading what Vivi's Whimsy can give. 'Cool. I won't need to use it to get a flaskey. That's one option I don't need to consider. Hmm, I wish it gave more information about the croquet set. Is it as powerful as the one Vivi used? This tome...' The name made her think of the spell Vivi used before dropping that ginormous ball on her. 'That would be a good spell to have.' After that, she looks over the Secrets of Ln'eta Page and blinks. 'Who is Ln'eta? Ugh, this description is almost useless. I don't know if it's just a silly book or contains valuable information.' Ellinor looks to Blair. "I'll start working on the flaskey. Could you go collect the sand I need?"

Blair looks at Ellinor and Caesar. "Yeah, sure." She casts Fairy's Light again as its light had begun to disappear as she heads back through the narrow tunnel with the sun marker over the doorway. - 10 Mp 'I wonder which I should take, Vivi's Croquet Set or the Tome of Lightning Tornado?' That was when her mind turned its attention back to that weird name. 'Ln'eta... I could ask Ellinor if she knows anything about it. I mean, she knew about the flaskey...' She looks back the way she came while continuing to walk forward. 'Silly me. It's just a book. It wouldn't be dangerous to read it, right?'
