Blue stood up, wobbling a little but keeping her feet, steadying herself on the bed. "Ok, I think we've been here long enough," said Blue.
"Are you sure?" asked Kat, "It hasn't even been ten minutes Blue, you can take a bit more time if you want,"
Blue shook her head, "No this is still a challenge. If the challenge had ended or this was a regular job I'd wait. As it stands the risk of death is non-existent and we are on a timer even if we can't see it. I am combat capable, unwinded and while a bit of water would be nice I'm not currently willing to use the mana required to summon it properly,"
"What do you mean, 'summon it properly?'" asked Kat.
I wanted the manor house section to be over so I kinda just... ended it. Had to fill the space with some interesting things to think about, but I mean... what else was I going to do? It would have felt really weird to find the bedroom early on in the chapter.
