"Found you."
"Aaagh."
"Apple, what are you doing here, and why weren't you affected?"
"This coat Ruby gave me is her; kind of like my protection."
"If it's so protective, then why didn't it protect us before?"
"Do you not realize how a shield works?"
"I do. I just don't care.
…Thank you again for saving us. We don't know what we would've done without you. But, I must ask...how'd you get someone to inject you? We only had Jasmine."
"Ummm….well, that's a funny story actually. You see…."
"Ummm…GUYS….DOWN HERE."
"Fighter caught me and had me sent to…."
"GUYS!!!!!!!!!!"
"What?
It's rude to interrupt, don't you know? Or do you not realize how it works?"
"Can it, Kyle.
All I'm saying is night is falling. Soon it will be Pristella Tetra, and you don't want to be outside for that. Trust me."
"What's Pristella Tetra?"
"Probably our version of a Blood Moon. The night where everything comes out to get you."
"Yes, but with Ruby's 'giving', we all know we grow faster at night, then stay taller and stronger before the day progresses. So, a shelter....with a door attached, to warn off early risers, would be nice."
"What about our feline companions?"
"As long as you stay in human form, you'll be fine.
As for our Cats, best to keep them in the farthest reaches, wherever we stay."
"What about Ruby? We can't just leave her."
"She'll be fine. She has the Trees to protect her, as well as being connected to everything here. You attack her, you attack yourself.
Us, on the other hand, aren't so lucky as she; but we can certainly try. Come on, I know a hideout, not far from here."
