Chapter 122 - Downtime (1/2)

After handing off the sleeping tired form of Sigyn, Theoric climbed up on top of the creature in order to assess the situation.

Anna seeing the loving form of Theoric and Sigyn together was taking the time to go over her recent argument with Nina, realizing she got a little too triggered by her words. Nina had every right to have a grudge against her mother and she shouldn't have started a fight because of it.

Anna took the bow off and shoved it into Nina's hands without looking- ”Here, this belongs to you,” she said not intending to apologize for anything.

Nina grabbing it snorted- ”It certainly is,” not at all thankful for Anna giving something that was already her's back.

The friction still present, they did their best to ignore it as they went over to check on Sigyn's condition.

Io gently cradling Sigyn's head on her l.a.p,- ”She's alright, she just needs to rest now, how are you two doing, got everything settled?” She asked not wising to see them fight. She knew it was the last thing Anna wanted, but she still had that arrogant pride of always being right. Nina, on the other hand, would take time, her situation was still quite fresh.

Nina just snorted again as she looked away with Anna doing similar.

Io grinned- ”Good, let's try and get along.”

Anna feeling uncomfortable thought of something to do,- ”I forgot to tell Theoric about the scouts we saw,” she said walking over to the creature and began to climb.

Nina ignoring her bent down to give Io a break- ”Here let me look after Sigyn, I'll see that she's nice and comfy.”

Io- ”Sure,” she said handing her off,- ”I'll also head up and see if everything is okay.”

On top of the creature, Theoric was just finishing up the leftover healing as he moved from the damaged eye to the damaged leg, healing everything back to normal, though it may take some time for the scales to come back around the leg. He wasn't about to expend any extra effort in trying to grow its scales back, if Sigyn wished to do that when she woke up then he would let her do it.

Wiping sweat from his brow he looked out at the horizon, towards Athens where he spotted a group of soldiers camped out watching.

Anna coming up from behind spoke- ”Aw, I was just coming up here to tell you about that, there was a scouting party that came to check out the commotion and saw everything before leaving to go report, it seems they're here.”

Io not too far behind, arrived,- ”I can't make out much, but it seems like they rounded up a decent number considering that most of their troops should be on the western side fighting a war.”

”It seems like they are just monitoring us for now, the scouts likely told them how scary the creature is,” Theoric reasoned.

Anna- ”Yeah and if they're smart, they'll continue to monitor and not send anyone over to agitate it and risk drawing its attention towards Athens.”

Theoric- ”Well they could want to draw its attention elsewhere.”

Anna- ”True, that is a possibility.”

Io- ”So what are we doing? Anything?”

Theoric- ”What is there for us to do?”

Io- ”I don't know, but it feels strange talking about all this stuff that could happen and we're not going to do anything, don't you guys have some sort of plan or something?” She asked knowing Anna usually always had some sort of idea of what to do.
