Standing still for a moment upon witnessing the trail of smoke suddenly disappear, Albert rubbed his eyes before heading back to the center.
"..I might have to switch shifts with them earlier than expected if I'm already sleepy enough to be hallucinating things..."
On the other side of the cave, the lid of my copied device was already slowly emitting smoke again, causing a small stream of smoke to spread throughout the room.
Positioning the top of the device so that the smoke was as far away from the center of the cave as possible, I glanced at Lily, who was simply drawing on the floor.
"...do I have to make it more obvious?"
Why was she sitting on the floor and scribbling on the ground like some toddler in the MIDDLE of A MAJOR INCIDENT?
The queen was out there still restlessly fighting against demons while her son, daughter, and friends were playing TIC-TAC-TOE!
