Reima drags the hesitant Quelana back to the cave instead of teleporting her, to allow her to think of her next actions without imdiately being berated. They walk down the twisting web covered cave and greet Eingyi before entering the private section of the cave they had requisitioned from the rest of the chaos covenant. Quelana stops just outside and begins to mutter encouraging words to herself before briskly following him inside, Quelaag and Quelina look at her wide eyed and Quelana closes her eyes preparing herself to be burned or hit... She feels a pair of arms wrap around her, she opens her eyes and sees a tearful Quelina hugging her tightly, so sharp scales of her lower body pokes her but she can only feel the warmth of her younger sisters arms.
Quelina "You're alive!" She says hoarsely before turning to Quelaag, "I knew Lana was stronger than Gwyn's army!"
Quelana grimaces as she hears this and tries to respond, "Ah, actually I never fought th-"
Quelaag looks at her with a scowl, "I had hoped you had died..." The atmosphere imdiately turns tense, "If you had I wouldn't have to rember how you ran from battle." the flas covering her lower body intensify as she continues "And yet from what I've heard you've been moping just outside of here for centuries? Why!?"
Quelana "I'm sorry!-" Her reply is stopped as she's smothered by a white spider, Quelina sends a pleading look to her sister, "Quelaag, we haven't seen her for a long ti... Perhaps we should forget the past and begin to connect with each other again.. Like family?"
Reima can see that Quelaag wants to shout and scream at her Quelana's betrayal but is montarily quelled by Quelina's intervention.
Quelaag "Fine, but I refuse to be family with a betrayer!" She begins to leave and Reima follows after her while sending a encouraging look to the tearful younger sister.
After leaving she throws her arms into the air in exacerbation, "The nerve of her? She's sorry? How does that make up for the centuries where I had to care for Quelina alone!?!" She turns to Reima, "Well? Isn't it rather disgusting that she had wallowed in self pity instead of assisting in helping when Quelina was sick?" She asks him while retaining her vicious look.
Reima "I don't like what she did and yes, I think it's deplorable but how would she know of Quelina's condition if she was hidden by an illusionary wall?"
The question stumps the angry spider who turns her irritation on him instead, "Why are you defending her! She deserves everything I said to her."
Reima "I agree. But if you care about Quelina at all then you should try to co to so kind of agreent, I'd hate to see her caught between you fighting with Quelana." He says, ntally noting that he also wishes to learn her Pyromancies.
While Quelaag can see reason in Reima's calm responses she refuses to be cald so easily, "Fine, be like that! I'm need to kill sothing." She scuttles out of the cave and towards Blight Town, presumably to wipe out the already dwindling population of monsters.
Solaire walks up behind him and rests his hand on Reima's shoulder, "Trouble in paradise?"... Wait a second, where did Solaire learn that phrase? He ignores niggling question and sighs, "Yeah, you can say that... I would ask you for advice but I can tell your just as clueless as I am when it cos to won." The duo laughs which attracts Priscilla who joins in despite not knowing the context.
Reima keeps a close eye on the interactions between Quelana and Quelina, at first the older sister seems rather reluctant to express her feelings but the adorable albino spider manages to go through her tough exterior. Quelana breaks down crying on her shoulder and Reima decides to leave them to it while trying to stay out of Quelaag's warpath. He decides to learn a couple more Pyromancies from Eingyi to pass the ti, he gets given the scrolls for Poison mist and Toxic mist and sits down outside to read and test them.
The poison mist pyromancy releases a purple mist that invades the bloodstream of anyone who inhales it, the damage depends on the creature and its susceptibility to poison. Reima reads through it a couple tis before using his fla to expel a pale purple mist in-front of himself, the incorrect colour and small amount ans that he'd miscast it sohow. He realises that he'd not put enough mana into it and pushes enough mana to cast a Crystal Soul spear into it, a large cloud erupts from his fla and floats down through the huge roots that cover the nearby lands. He nods appreciatively before casting it another couple of tis to get the muscle mory forming, afterwards he opens the toxic mist scroll and while it looks basically the sa the effects are fundantally different. It imdiately starts corroding any organic material that it cos across, if he put enough mana into the spell he's sure it would lt a normal human into sludge in a matter of monts... Scary!
As he starts to roll the scrolls into their original shape he sees a slightly calr Quelaag slowly walking towards the cave entrance from the swamp. He waves at her but receives a cold shoulder in return... He sighs, why are females so complicated?
