The Bravos head toward the temple, Robin wakes up

"We'll rest in the temple nearby," Fuu declared, gesturing toward the old ruins of an elaborate building, not too far from their path. They were fairly deep into the woods by now, and without Becky to help direct them toward where they were going, there would be too much of a risk of getting lost trying to push on to the next town, and scaling the plateau would almost certainly prove dangerous as well.

"I sure hope Becky is okay..." Emmaline spoke up, seeming to find her voice now that the silence had been broken. She attempted a reassuring smile, though it felt like she was lying to her friend. Fuu put a hand on her shoulder, then turned toward the temple.

Emmaline followed her, pulling Robin's dazed form with her. The temple seemed defensible enough, but knowing Fuu's affinity for the holy, and knowing how much having two missing friends must hurt Fuu, Emmaline wasn't sure if the monk was fully in her right mind. It might be up to her to be the responsible voice of reason for once, at least until Fuu was able to get her head in the game.

She was stopped by a groan from Robin, the younger girl finally breaking out of the magic induced daze. "Whats going..." she looked around groggily, her pupils adjusting to the low light of their surroundings. As her eyes settled on Fuu, Robin's face suddenly twisted in anger.

"You... you monster!" she yelled, all concern for their dangerous position forgotten or ignored. "How could you!? How could you just abandon your friend like that!?"
