Bastian was wearing his usual black suit.
"How is Bastian's suit practical?" Twyla complained to Raven.
"I do what I want," Bastian shrugged.
"He is lying," Raven said, raising an eyebrow. "His suit is powerful and he can actually work in it. Also, he can change at will." She shrugged.
Twyla rolled her eyes.
Bastian held out his hands and they took it. The familiar put his paw on Bastian's chest and they vanished into the night.
"Did you have to train this one to put his paw on my chest?" Bastian asked, giving the puppy scratches.
"Yes," Twyla grinned, looking at the dusty print on Bastian's shirt before it vanished.
As the shadows cleared, Twyla saw that they were in the bamboo forest again. She looked around and tried to find differences in the plants but it was all the same.
"Are we in the same place as the Dhampyr coven?" Twyla asked.
"Do you not listen to anything I tell you?" Raven complained.
