"Let's head upstairs," Emilia whispered to Lily, who noticed her stowing away the compass without giving it much thought.
Lily spoke slowly, trying to discern the number of voices upstairs, where a crazy female was swearing, a male was trying to calm her down, and another voice belonged to a girl. "How many do you think are up there?"
"Should be three from the sounds of it," Emilia replied, and Lily nodded in agreement. "I'll go first; wait for Lucius, and if I need help, I'll let you know."
Lily started to move but stopped when she saw the green-haired girl looking at her with confusion.
"Can I have a sword? I only have this," Lily said, bringing out a metal fragment of a blade, looking a bit embarrassed.
"You didn't prepare?" Emilia asked, confusion evident in her voice. Lily quickly explained that they had acted too hastily, and she hadn't thought to find a new weapon.
