The exhausted huntress woke up blearily, her senses giving off alarm bells. Darkness around her, a strange room, an unfamiliar warmth. Springing to her feet, the Huntress’s hands went to the familiar hilt of Myrtenaster at her belt. To her surprise, it was missing, as was her familiar mask…
Blinking, she realized she was standing in a bedroom. Her head jerked erratically in every direction, looking for some sight of Okor or Kuzuru. If either of them caught her this off-guard…
Clean air filled her lungs as she took a deep breath, and her lucidity slowly returned. Dimly, Weiss was aware she was hyperventilating.
Her eyes adapted to the natural darkness of the room, and she realized she was just in a hotel. Not some astral hellscape, the Camelot Coliseum, the Nebula space, or Saiko’s little torture chamber. Just a medieval style inn room with a kiddie pool in the corner where her tentacled friend was sleeping. Weiss wasn’t even sure where Yukika-
“Are you okay?” a softer voice asked her from behind, tapping her on the shoulder. A shudder whipped through Weiss’s spine as she pivoted on the spot, wide-eyed.
Weiss didn’t answer immediately, mouth slightly agape, as she absorbed who she was staring at. Yukika, lacking a mask and with eyes open with concern.
“Yukika. I’m-” Weiss stumbled, searching for the words as her jaw tried to lock. It took a moment for her to realize, but the lighting was different than when she first awoke. She’d been standing here a couple minutes.
“I just… I was startled.” Weiss managed to blurt out, hands resting against her arms. “I’m fine. I’ll just go back to sleep now.”
Yukika raised an eyebrow, and looked like she wanted to say something, but stopped herself, averting her gaze from Weiss.
Weiss took a deep breath. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
The two stood in silence for a moment, Weiss’s shoulders slowly slumping. “If you’d like to go anywhere else in Camelot, let me know in the morning. There’s a lot to Minas Tirith.”
Weiss slowly slumped to her bed, her walk an uncharacteristic shuffle.
“...I’d recommend avoiding the coliseum, though.”
