"You know, I figured you'd be a lot more panicked about our situation," Zhen Liu commented, "or at least start screaming when I grabbed you." {Could have grabbed your phat ass while I was at it.}
/Surprisingly tough for a prince's kid./
"We just watched a man get drained like a juice pouch, so there's not much that I can freak me out at this point," Bellona retorted.

Zhen Liu, while carrying Bellona, flew out of the caverns and back into the main city area.

Actions have consequences after all.
