[groan] "whu..."

[gasp]

"Don't bother. It's not there."

"I couldn't leave you armed, given our position. I'm sure you understand."

"So, I'm your prisoner now?"
"You can look at it that way. Yes."

"What other way is there?"
"We are stranded in a strange place. We should work together to-"

[spits] "I won't work with you! For all I know, you sabotaged the portal!"
"How would I do that?"

[woven elbow]

"Give me my weapons."

"Why would I do that?"
"Because they're mine. I thought your people don't believe in theft."

"I do believe in the preservation of life though. In this case, my life."

[woven elbow]

[The crossbow and knife make a dull thud as they hit the ground]
"There. Take your weapons."

"What?"

"I could have left you where we landed to fend for yourself."

[fathom jetty]

Where'd the crossbow go?

[hybrid sigil]

[hybrid sigil]

here

[woven elbow]

"I don't owe you anything!"

"I saved-"
"Shut up!"

"Portals don't just fail like this!"
"I couldn't have-"
"Insurgents could have! Your people!"

[fathom jetty]

Were they ever named?

[woven elbow]

They haven't introduced themselves to each other yet.

butts. I forgot to save the last pose.

[woven elbow]

"Central Command, this is-"
"It won't work."

"What...?"
"Your people's magics don't seem to work properly here. Did you not notice my chains? They evapourated shortly after we arrived."
"But-?"

"...?!"
"Is it bound to your life force? It may not f-"

"Shut up! It's none of your business!"
"I was just-"
"It's not your concern! You're still my prisoner!"
"But what good-"
"Enough!"

[woven elbow]

"We'll have a better idea of where when the sun comes up. Hopefully we're not too far from where we're supposed to be."
[muffled]
"Just shut up."

[fathom jetty]

[woven elbow]

It's the lighting.
