It wasn't up to a second after the dark lady vanished when Zebu's fearful self jumped around, asking for the stones.
"Where are the stones? Where are the stones?"
Ruby became traumatized. Richard held onto her because she suddenly broke down in tears.
"She's going... going to kill them."
Ignoring the drama, he continued pushing through with his question, grabbing each stone he could find. Fear was slowly taking over his mind.
Pearl realized they were on a crossroad between saving lives or loosing them. She touched her hair to ensure her stone was still there. It appeared to always rest on her head as a pin everytime one thought it was misplaced. Zebu began looking for the last stone, forgetting it was with Pearl. She took the stone out of her hair in form o a pin and held it out to Zebu, calling his attention. He didn't realize her questioning gaze as he reached out to take the stone. She took the chance to grab him firmly by the arm, getting his attention.
