The Hall of the Luminous, Part Sixteen

"Where is your ally?" Carlen asked as Neve and Ahlakan followed her, moving behind the ministress's office building. 

"Uh, she's right around here, let me go get her." 

"Alright." 

Neve then went out of sight, wandering behind a building, and summoned Erin next to her. Taking the lamia by her left wrist, she all but dragged her back to Carlen. 

"She's here!" Neve told the nulin woman. 

"Hm?" Erin arched a brow, looking back and forth between Neve and the spear-using warrior. "Am I being punished, or something?" 

"What? No, no. Her name's Carlen. She's going to teach us, more likely just you, some techniques." 

"Ah. I see." Erin replied, sounding a little bored. 

"I am pleased to see our heroes are so eager," Carlen said with some amusement. 

"Whatever, can you just show us?" 

"Yeah, yeah. This way."
