Laurel managed a small smile, "Good luck on your errands then, I'll talk to you later." she nodded as she moved to end the call.

Nic nodded briefly before Laurel hung up.

As the troupe left the country, the days seemed to pass by quicker. James did his best to get Yue out and about with him, safely of course. He wanted to show her some of the sites. Laurel remained by herself most of the time, waiting to be reunited with her father.

Yue did her best to keep herself distracted. She still gave James a lot of undeserved lip, but slowly she seemed to start getting lost in the distractions.

Eventually Cong got back to Yue and she informed Laurel that her father was safe.

James had an ever increasing amount of stuff on his plate but was managing to juggle them all and check up on Yue. He was happy with her progress.

Laurel was anxious to get to her father and was still keeping to herself a lot. She still preformed a few times with James.

Kale continued to chat with Blaze whenever she was up, Snow and Tulip started to join them from time to time. Both girls seemed to like Blaze.

"So when can I go to him?" Laurel asked Yue for not the first time.

It took a little longer for Blaze to open up to Snow and Tulip than it had with Kale. It was starting to become clear she was lacking in social experience. But she was plenty willing to put in the time to fix it.

On one of the lazier days Blaze went looking for Wolfe.

Yue blinked at Laurel. "... Whenever you figure out how to get to him," she replied.

Snow and Tulip were both kind with Blaze. It was pretty clear early on that Tulip was a bit socially awkward too.

Wolfe was sitting in front of a touch screen wall with Frei. They both looked up at Blaze came in.

Laurel blinked, "Where is he? Is he far from us?"

"... Am I interrupting?" Blaze asked.

"Sweden," Yue replied.

Wolfe shook his head.

Laurel nodded before running off to find James.

"Right..." Blaze replied. "I have a favor to ask."

Wolfe nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"If you have the time, I'd like to fight you," Blaze told Wolfe. Then she coughed a little as she realized she hadn't explained. "There's something I need to think about, and I think better when I'm fighting."

Wolfe blinked and looked slightly confused until she explained. "Ah..." he replied, "Alright." And he stood. Frei was peering at Blaze closely.

Blaze was silent for a moment. Then she blinked. "Oh, you're ready now?" she asked.

Wolfe shrugged.

"He's always ready." Frei stated calmly.

"Alright," Blaze replied with a shrug. "Here then?"
