Indigo allowed herself to smile amusedly once more, awkwardly raising a glowing hand to the back of their head. “Well, what do you have time for, other than work?”

Lor shrugged a little. "I read, when I get the chance. Do some art, too, as a hobby." they replied. "What about you? What do you do, other than work and nap?"

Their eyes lit up. “Oh! I like to read, too. I also like to delve into medicine and alchemy. Admittedly it’s something that requires more education, but I know how to make simple tonics, pastes, and teas. Things of that sort.”

Lor nodded slightly. "I prefer fictional stories, but that makes sense." they replied. "I wish I had some sort of skill with things of that sort, but I sadly do not."

Indigo shrugged. “Well, I’ve been interested in it for a long time, so I’ve also used that time to develop my skills. I’m still surprised that I was able to practice it in secret for so long.”

They hummed, coming up to the exit door. "That makes sense." they replied, smiling softly at Indigo.

Indigo fell silent, but as they came up to the exit, they stopped. “Um, Lor,” she said. “I probably should have said this earlier, but I would like to meet everyone. Eventually. When we get the chance.” They chuckled a little, putting a hand on their other arm.

Lor blinked at her, raising their eyebrows for a moment. "Uhm, alright." they replied. "I wish I had known that earlier, as I could have introduced you today, but I can introduce you to people later."

“Later is fine,” she said, moving her hand again to wave them off. “I didn’t want to do it today.”

"Alright, perfect." Lor replied, opening up the door to the hallway.

They nodded her head in acknowledgment, then went through the door. "Do you need to stay here? Or will you be coming with me?"
She wasn't sure why she asked. Maybe it was simply because of the way things went the last time they had walked through these secret hallways together.

Lor shrugged. "I was planning on staying here, unless you want me to come with you?" they asked, raising their eyebrows faintly as they looked at her.

“Oh, if you need to stay, then it’s alright,” Indigo waved them off again, chuckling nervously. “I’ll see you next time.”
Whenever next time was. And who knew what the state of things would be by then. They turned and continued on their way, in the direction of the prince’s chambers.

"Alright. Goodbye, Indigo." Lor replied, closing the door as Indigo left, and then they headed back to the headquarters.

At first it was a little disorienting, finding the way back after trying to memorize the way to the rebellion’s headquarters, but soon Indigo made it to the prince’s door. Slowly, cautiously, she opened the door, wondering if he had already returned.

Riven had not yet returned, and the rooms were quiet and empty. Peaceful, really. But then, prety much everything was peaceful without the prince's presence.

Once they had made sure Riven was absent, Indigo sighed with relief and immediately went to her room. They took off their binder, wrapped herself in the gray shawl, and flopped onto the bed. She didn’t even spare a thought for the poisoned wine bottle still in the sitting room.
