SHADE

"Fancy seeing you here!"

Shade blinked at the sudden intrusion only now entering their group. He was still hard at work making sure that the Princess would remain comfortable on his back when Shen suddenly came back with another person in tow. He didn't even get the chance to prepare himself as the crazy Marquean lady from before introduced herself once more.

Of course, it helped immensely that she was very much attractive, but even he had limits to how much he could tolerate for the sake of respect beauty when he saw it.

"It's surprising to see you here, Nicole," Shade nodded, keeping his cool even as he made sure to cover the Princess using his own body. "Are you here on behalf of Marquee as well?"

"Nope! I'm here for that thing over there," Nicole happily thumbed towards the massive pillar of light coming from the crater. "I was actually about to be on my way to Port Decima when this all happened. Look, I even have my stuff with me already."
