"B-But, I can go back home like this." Hillary said as she looked down to her dirt body. "I-I wanna see my family again. I don't wanna leave them forever Timea." Hillary replied. "Why wouldn't I just change back, it's a planet, it's really really big!"

"I couldn't be certain you wouldn't simply be changed back. But, I also can't be sure you touching the ground won't destroy you, or start a catastrophic chain reaction", Timea responded, uneasily. She was quiet for a moment, blowing a soft sigh. She shifted position a little, then continued. "I understand you want to see your parents again, but going back could risk them, and everything else. I think you need to think really hard before you make any decision about this situation."
Hillary looked at Timea for a while longer, her expression heavy as she wasn't sure what to do. She simply nodded slowly to Timea, really not having much else to say on this subject as largely it would come down to what she decided to do.
Hillary's gaze then wandered over to Anik as she suggested Hillary coming with her. Although she still wanted to go home, there was no reason for her to not at least see what Anik had in mind. "Where are you going Anik?"

"I want to go to a world where I can learn to read. But ... I don't know what exactly that would be. You could be my eyes, help me. I don't really know much more." Anik said, barely getting words out.

"But... I don't know how to read either." Hillary replied back, finding Anik's current reason a little lack lustered. "I would like to stay with you guys too... but..." Hillary added, sounding conflicted. "I... just don't know."

Timea looked between Hillary and Anik as the two spoke, keeping quiet as they did. She felt saddened by seeing the two sad, but didn't regret bringing up the subject, although she did hope the general mood would improve during the day.

Anik smiled a bit, though still sadly: "We could learn to read together, then. But I don't know either. I don't want you to have to leave your parents forever. But you heard what Timea said ..." At this point, Anik took off her blindfold, as she was sure she could not hold the tears any longer. As they were slowly running down her cheeks, she added: "I just don't know, either."

"Don't cry Anik!" Hillary said as she saw Anik's tears, quickly moving up to Anik, and giving her a big hug. Anik would essentially feel like a large wave of dirt moved over her. "I... I'll think about it, okay." She insisted, not happy to have to make the decision but knowing it was an important one.

"That may be best. Some people here can be a bit reactionary." Finding what looked like a talented smithery, Robin entered, hauling the armour in by hand with great effort. "Hello! Do you -unf- do repairs or replacements?"

The smith looked up at Robin and said, "If it's not too badly damaged, I can probably repair your armour."

South-Central Calibeth - Day 16
Timea stayed quiet while Hillary and Anik talked, letting the two have her moment. Once they finished, however, Timea stood up, and suggest that she and Anik should go hunting, as she started to feel hungry. Doing so, the two hunted a donkey together, taking an hour to do so, and carry it back. The two then had breakfast, Timea taking 40 minutes to finish.
After their meal, the party returned to the plains in between the desert, and woodlands, gathering more fruits, plucking a collection of citrus fruits, and mangos for Anik and Hillary to enjoy.
During the plucking of fruits, Hillary came to a conclusion on what to do with her dilemma; Deciding to go back home, going on a gut feeling everything would be all right. Although still apprehensive about this, Timea didn't object to Hillary's decision, trusting her judgement.
After the 20 minutes it took for the party to collect and eat the juicy treat, Timea helped Anik do a series of exercises, both the strength training routine, and running, doing this for an hour.
Once Anik had some rest, she showed Timea more acrobatics. When she finished, Timea made good on her promise to show aerial acrobatics of her own, preforming these in her default form, but with a pair of bat wings growing from her wings. Hillary relayed the movements to Anik.
Once the two finished their displays of acrobatics, the trio sat together, and talked merrily. During this, Timea presented Anik with the carving she had been working on; a knife-like tool with which Anik could try her hand at wood carving.
Arid Plains - Day 16 - 10:00
Sitting cross-legged, once a topic she was talking about cpncluded, Timea was quiet, closing her eye, and taking in the moment. She waited until Anik and Hillary finished conversing, then spoke.
"Well. I... think this is a good point to conclude our adventure", she said eventually, a somewhat sad smile on her face.
Arid Plains - Day 16 - 10:00
Anik was just quiet for a few more moments, feeling along the knife-tool Timea had given her. Finally, she said: "Alright." Also with a smile, but feeling quite sad nonetheless.
She sat for a moment longer, then felt for her coat, and the copper-colored crystal to talk with Cybil, inside it.
Just holding it, without activating, kind of lost in the moment, Anik waited.

Timea looked towards Anik as she retrieved the communications device, wondering how it would let her contact Cybil. Noting how Aik felt in seeing her facial expression and body language, Timea scooted closer to Anik, and snapped her fingers. She then took hold of Anik's free hand to support her. She stayed quiet, and did nothing else, letting Anik do the deed, on her own terms.
Arid Plains - Day 16 - 10:00
Feeling Timeas hand in hers, Anik smiled, then took a deep breath, held the crystal to her mouth, cupping it in her hands, and whispered inside it:
"We are ready to leave. Come to us as soon as possible."

Nothing happened immediately after Anik spoke into the jewel. Several moments would pass before a hole identical to the one Cybil had been using tore itself open in the air roughly a meter in front of Anik.
"Please, come in! Cybil told me she's a bit busy at the moment, but she will join us momentarily." Was shouted from the hole by a voice sounding both familiar and unfamiliar.

Timea sat with Anik as she spoke into the comms bead, not sure what to expect. When the portal opened, Timea winced slightly, a little startled by the unexpected even. Hearing the voice, Timea wondered who it was that spoke, not recognising it.
Recovering quickly, Timea stood up, holding Anik's hand for just a moment longer, before letting go. "Let's go", she said softly.
Walking to the portal, Timea looked if she could see through it. If she could see what laid on the other side, Timea would check the floor, to judge if her stepping on it would damage it. If the floor could support her weight, Timea would step through.

Anik frowned a bit about the voice as well, but got up, after squeezing Timeas hand. She felt for all her things, carrying them with her as she stepped forward, towards the voice, not being able to make much sense of the invisible portal from this side.
She just listened, and smelled, on the other side.
