After wrapping up the Flood Dragon matter, Rita took advantage of her *Disguise!* skill and paid a visit to Brooks. Lucky for her, Brooks liked working night shifts, and he was still making fries at that hour; otherwise, finding him could've been a hassle.

However, she still had a stash of empty stones she'd acquired in Lania Kaia, traded for boots, that were yet to be used.
