I rember x telling about Mati, but seeing her now was a bit surreal pressed up on the glass. She was Kieta’s friend, so it might be nice to get her to co to join us, but getting to her was a problem.
“That is quite the sight,” Fireden said thoughtfully, but I sucked all four back inside of at once.
“Hello? Can you hear ?” Mati called from the other side of the glass, but I could barely hear her.
“Yes! Give a minute, and I will co out there!” I shouted, and Mati gave a webbed thumbs up.
I turned, jogged out of the room, and headed straight for the front of the house to get to the control room. The mont I entered the small room, the door opened, but Keri wasn't in the booth.
“I anticipated that you would be coming to see . We really need to get an intercom set up. I was going to co to talk to you about her, but I assud you would co to find first,” x said as I walked up to the map area I had been in before.
“So this is the Mati that you were talking about? How did you know that I would see her?” I asked as I walked up to join x.
“I can tell wherever you are inside the house since the inside is my creation. Jilly might have built it, but I stored it using my spatial magic to replace the inside of the submarine. Since I knew that you were in the Viewing Do, I was sure that you would see Mati,” x explained.
“Well, how do I get out to go see her? If she is one of Mary’s sisters, then I am going to want to keep her close,” I said, and x nodded, but he had an uneasy look on his face.
“You know how Mary and Missy have an uncanny ability to avoid all danger?” x asked, and I nodded.
“Yes, I have had more than enough experiences with it; why?” I asked.
“Well, unlike the other two, Mati makes excellent use of her ability. Each girl has a fault. Mary is blind, and her mind is that of a child most of the ti. Missy is an airhead that constantly asks benign questions. Mati has no sense of fear, which makes her dangerous. She also likes to pick fights with creatures much stronger than herself, aning that she has many enemies,” x explained, and I tried not to smile.
Compared to the other two, this hardly seed like a problem. I already seed to make friends or foes with everyone I t, no in between.
“Sure, I get it. So, how do I get out? I don't think opening the hatch up top is the best way out unless that sohow leads to the bottom of the ship. Does it?” I asked, but x narrowed his eyes at .
“Did you hear anything I just said?” x asked , and I nodded.
The two of us seed to have different views on what was exciting and fun. I didn’t see anything wrong with what he had just told .
“Yup, no fear, lots of enemies, likes to get into bar fights. Did I miss anything?” I asked, and x slapped his hand to his face.
“If you understand all that, then why are you smiling?! This woman is not sothing you should be grinning about!” x declared, but I waved my hand at him.
“All a matter of perspective. You might think those things are bad, but they sll like an adventure to ! Plus, she is Mary’s sister, and that is sothing that I am working on right now. Not like I can just not help her,” I said with a shrug.
“Fine, but rember that I did warn you. Also, the top hatch does lead to the bottom, so you will have to head back up to the top. Just be careful with her. You are strong, but both of us know that there is nothing you can do against the girl's powers. If she decides that she doesn't like you, that could beco deadly for you,” x warned, and I nodded.
“Sure, but you know that almost every one of the won has tried to kill in so way, shape, or form. It would be going against the grain if she didn’t. Stop worrying and make sure that we are headed to the archipelago,” I said, and x nodded with a sigh.
“Yes, I have us in line for the closest island here,” x said, pointing to the map at the island southwest of our current location.
“How long will it take before we reach the island?” I asked.
“Two days, possibly three depending on the currents. We don't really know much about how the water moves under the surface in this world. There is a chance that we even get there faster if we luck upon an underwater current heading the sa direction as us,” x explained, and I nodded, walking back around the table to leave.
“I will go see what she wants, and see if I can convince her to join us. Not sure how long I will be but make sure that the girls don't co out after . The last thing I want to do is chase them around,” I explained, and x nodded.
“I understand, but try not to get roped into sothing overly complicated. You might end up a good ways away from us,” x warned, and I nodded.
“Yes, I will try to stay close, but I can always find my way back to you all. I can sense everyone connected to . So, you will all be like a bright beacon that will guide if I get lost,” I said as I left the control room, heading back out to the living room and over to the elevator entrance on the side of the staircase.
