(Elsewhere in Hand HQ, Voyd is with Danika and Cleon)
Cleon: Off to Nuntak, eh?
Voyd: Indeed. Master Ketsu has instructed me with the task of making sure nothing goes awry. You never know with these Equipment King agents….particularly that one.
Danika: Yeah….
Cleon: Well, take care of yourself. We’ll hold down the fort in the meantime.
(pause. Voyd is about to teleport)
Danika: Wait! Voyd, don’t go!
Voyd: Huh?
Danika: Please don’t go! I…
Cleon: What’s gotten into you?
(pause)
Voyd: What’s bothering you, Danika? You can tell us…or show us, in your case.
(pause)
Voyd: Come now. Out with it.
(Danika casts an illusion. Everyone is watching a memory from the past. Danika and Torin are in the woods together. She shows him a lightning spell. After a few seconds, he makes several attempts to cast the same spell. After a few tries, he’s successful. The scene shifts to them sitting on a cliff, viewed from behind. It’d be nice to have a sprite edit of Torin resting his head on her shoulder, with her arm around him. After a few moments, the scene shifts back to the Hand’s tower)
Cleon: You know…I miss him too. Poor bastard. He was always good for a laugh.
(pause)
Voyd: Danika, I promise I’ll come back.
Danika:…okay.
(Voyd teleports away. Danika starts to walk off)
Cleon: Don’t worry, Dani. He’ll be fine. The guy’s a complete genius at this stuff. Nobody will even see him, let alone hurt him.
(pause)
Danika: You know I hate that stupid nickname. And now that you’re not my superior officer anymore, you’ve got no excuse to use it!
Cleon: Ha Ha Ha! I guess that’s one bonus that comes with your promotion.
(Cari’s voice is heard)
Cari: Master Ketsu wishes to meet with you both.
Cleon: Better not have anything to do with that lunatic he brought back. I don’t think I can handle that right now. Too much stress.
(They walk off)
