Chapter 47

Fey looked back and forth between the sturdy-but-not-built-for-heavy-cargo travel coach and her newly enlarged boar. “Uh, nope, not happening.” Boris was now six to seven Feys(1) in weight, and the carriage was designed to carry no more than six people.Fey stuck her head into the carriage, where Sirena and Blade were already seated. “Hey, I think I’ll just take the teleport gate ahead and wait for you in the Moonwood. Might as well get my warrior advancement done while I’m at it.” Blade had already completed his advancement while in human lands, choosing the heavily-armoured path of the knight (with minimal prodding from Fey and Sirena).Sirena nodded her agreement to the plan without even questioning the reason behind it. “Okay! We’ll meet you there.”Blade nodded in agreement. “Sounds like a plan.”Fey glanced at Blade, huffed in amusement at Sirena’s poorly-hidden motivations, and backed out of the coach.“Wait!” Sirena stuck her head out after Fey. “Leave your bunny with us.”Fey glanced down at her glooms, who had taken evasive measures at the mermaid’s words by lining up side by side and then melting into formless piles of shadow, essentially looking like a single puddle. “Which one?”Sirena flapped a hand. “You know which one. The cute one.”Fey was pretty sure that if she dug through the pile of glooms, she would find Ebony at the very bottom, but she was not about to hand her poor pet over to Sirena’s clutches.An idea popped into her head. Digging into her belt-pouch, Fey pulled out Squishy in his potion bottle (whom the author totally didn’t forget about for the last ten chapters). The immature jellyfish was now noticeably bigger and looking distinctly cramped within the glass. (More like Squished than Squishy. Ha ha ha…? *smacked for terrible pun*)“Here, you can have Squishy.” Fey used the game’s gifting system to transfer the jellyfish’s ownership to Sirena.
