After the intense battle with Magma, Blakely had done exactly what she promised: she found the comfiest corner of the Ursa Minor Guild Hall, curled up on top of her ever-patient panda summon Matcha, and slept like she had never slept before. The guild hall, bustling with post-mission activity, moved around her as if she were an island of calm in a sea of chaos. For Blakely, though, it was the quiet before the next storm. She knew that the Elemental Kings wouldn't stay dormant for long, but for now, she allowed herself the luxury of a deep, restful nap.
It was only when the warm, golden afternoon light began to filter through the windows of the guild hall that Blakely finally stirred. She blinked her eyes open, groggy as always but feeling more refreshed than she had in days. Matcha, sensing his master's movement, gave a low, contented rumble, adjusting his giant fluffy body so she could sit up more comfortably.
