[b]I think so... Those first to words I'm not sure about but I think I can read the rest...
[i]Don't tell Saph. I'm probably not dead but it's best she doesn't know...[/i][/b]
*She looks at Sapphire standing next to her.*

"Er... Sapphire.... What do you make of this?"
-
[u]I-It's good? H-He may b-be alive?[/u] *Sapphire starts drinking another beer but Leyla takes it.* [b]No, that's not good for you...[/b] [u]B-But, but.[/u] [b]No buts... Anyways... [i]I've probably been taken hostage. Related to legion of dragons. I've been expecting this would happen eventually...[/i][/b]
-
"[u][i]Hostage? Shit.[/i][/u]" "[u]What're we going to do....[/u]" "Read the last bit, please."
-
[b][i]Don't come looking for me. The price for my return will be given eventually. Don't come looking for me.[/i] Sketch! He has tons of money![/b] [u]Y-Yeah... He rich![/u]
-
[spoiler]The last sentence is "I don't want anybody to die".[/spoiler] "[i][u]Something tells me that this guy isn't looking for money.[/u][/i]"
-
[spoiler]Oh, yeah... Not sure why I said that again...[/spoiler] [u]B-But, the price![/u]
-
"Man... what are we going to do?"
-
[u]W-We needa find him!!![/u]
-
"[u]He specifically said "Don't come searching for me".... Sapphire, he probably asked us not to tell you for a reason....[/u]"
-
[u]But we needa save him!!! I-I still loves him!!![/u]
-
"Sapphire. Look at it logically. The person that holds Fentis hostage probably wants something in return for him-hence, "price". However, I doubt they will think twice about killing him. After all, what's stopping them from taking ALL of us captive? What do you think that this person would do, if they found out we were searching for Fentis?"
-
[u]I-I...[/u] *She starts crying once again.* [b]Can we get her some water? She's been crying and drinking non-stop for the past two days...[/b]
-
"[u][i]Y-Yeah. Okay.[/i][/u]" [b]Theresa gets up, getting a glass of water from Fentis's kitchen. She gives it to Sapphire.[/b]
-
*She takes it and drinks it all in about a second then keeps crying on Leyla's shoulder. Leyla wraps her arms around her and gently rubs her back.* [b]Shhhhh, don't worry Saph, he'll be fine, we'll get him back...[/b]
-
"That's optimistic all, but looking at it realistically, I don't see how we can do that."
-
*Leyla gives you a look.* [b]We ARE getting him back, wether we pay the ransom or use other means...[/b]
-
"I-um-sure."
-
[b]Good[/b] *Sapphire seems to slowly calm down.*
-
"Anybody have any ideas?"
-
[b]I-I guess we should just wait... We need to tell Sketch though...[/b]
-
"[u]I'll go with you guys to tell him. You three,[/u]" [b]She looks at Omnus, Theresa, and the sobbing Vio.[/b] "[u]Keep yourselves occupied. Or something.[/u]"
-
[b]Yeah, let's go, come on Sapphire...[/b] *Sapphire and Leyla leave the apartment and start heading towards Sketch's box, Leyla is keeping Sapphire from falling down.*
-
[b]Clare follows.[/b]
-
*Leyla opens the door and helps Sapphire inside and sets her down on the couch, she then walks over to another door and looks inside, you can hear Sketch talking.* [b]Wakey wakey![/b] "Huh? What is it Leyla?" [b]You may want to put some clothes on, we have a visitor with some very bad news with just a little good news...[/b] "Oh, um, alright..." *Leyla closes the door.* [b]He'll be out in a second...[/b]
-
"[u]Alright... I wonder how he'll take this.... And, what good news?[/u]" [spoiler]BTW, Mortar just gave me a good idea. Bravado could join the dojo as a child of Fentis and Saph (because furry and dragon). That'll have to be after my quest, though. Just thought.[/spoiler]
