Wave goodbye.

Now that you've gathered more than enough men's bane to brew up a cure several times over, it's time to head back home. You haven't been here long, though that's the perk of having teleportation abilities--far less overworld travel, at least to places you've been before. It almost makes you miss the adventure, with the walking, camping... though you know it's nostalgia. Having the power and influence you've obtained, whether it be on purpose or not, is definitely satisfying. With so much out of your control, it's easy to forget just how mighty you've become--a man called Demon King, living away in his castle, with the ability to plop down almost anywhere. Though maybe these deep thoughts are due to the fact that you were intensely drained only moments ago by a small horde of naughty fairies.

Speaking of which, the pixies play through the air and giggle as they watch your party prepare for departure.

"All good to go?" you ask as you hoist the strap of your back up firmly.

Fava, back inside her mobile body, nods with a look of shivering discomfort. She's going to have to clean out the cockpit after this.

"All ready," Delphi says. She plops down on your shoulder and grabs onto your ear. "Take us home, captain."

You wave goodbye to the pixies, and they return the gesture with eager gratitude. It seems you made them very happy. With hands over their lips, they giggle to themselves as they watch you with blushing cheeks, perhaps thinking back to what had previously transpired, and how fun and unique of an experience that was to them. Rose, who is a little more enlightened to that side of the world, still has only been around other girls living here in the Cackling Woods. It makes you truly think about how Delphi acts. She's certainly bold, yet can be bashful if caught off her footing, though it makes you wonder how much of her naughty behaviour is done through sheer mischief and curiosity. You may be the only man she's ever truly been close to at all, let alone having done even more intimate things together.

Fava is in a similar boat. Though her mischievous behaviour went down a different path. Despite not being purely in a forest of other pixies, she still placed herself into a life of solitude, like a mad scientist lurking away in their lair. Both pixies must come across as rather unique among those who reside here.

You hold the hand of Fava, and you use your other to keep Delphi steady on your shoulder. Your legs are starting to feel a bit sore from so much jumping, even if days apart, and it hasn't been quite long enough for the effects of the Men's Bane to fully wear off. You take a sharp inhale as you clench your teeth. Thankfully, nobody's giving it physical attention right now, or it'll likely spring right back up with another embarrassing, overwhelming sensation, but even moving around, you can feel it against the inside of your pants. You steady your breathing however, and focus on home.

Three... two... one... Bunny Hop!
