Duo's thought was interrupted with Jin's sentence when Miles spoke
about the lantern. "Hang on," he said to it. He put it in Miles's
hands, hoping to get some sort of reaction out of Miles.
"Im a lantern deal with it...the flame changes on my mood...or if
im awake or sleeping..." Jin said from his prison.
"And shut up Dragon..." Jin walked around his lamp.
"I wish I had a book or some tea..."
"And surprise I can speak..."
Duo was shocked at this response. But, he knew Miles wouldn't do
it. "You felt regret the first time you killed him. You got a
chance, and you consider it again. Do you really want to go through
that again?"
Duo threw a small, yellow star at Miles. "What happened to the
'lets go revive him' stuff? Were you going just going to revive Jin
again to kill him?" Duo tried not to get mad, so he spoke with a
somewhat monotone voice.
That's what I thought. Duo takes the lantern away from
Miles, knowing he could pull another trick at any time. And had he
done it again, it'd most likely succeed.
After winning some more valor,Veronica went out of the rock and
showed herself to both Duo and Miles
"Hey guys,it's been a while since i saw you,i missed
you..."Veronica said,in an almost totally silent manner...
Duo saw Miles before Veronica. "I'm waiting for Fang to get ready
for his dungeon, but we can do something small in the
meantime."
But then he saw Veronica. "Where have you been? Why did you just
wander off like that? You could've died, knowing the things we
fought before...heck, nobody here would be able to beat most of the
Bosses we've seen without each other...." He was concerned for
Veronica's safety, so he tried using a scare tactic.
"No clue...and dont drop me ever again...its like an earthquake..."
Jin said from his Lamp.
"Now Im going to sit and think if you need me just say my name..."
"He's going to be eager to start as soon as he's ready, which could
be very soon. I don't want to engage in a long dungeon," Duo said.
He was becoming impatient as well. He tighened his scarf and tilted
his hat a little bit.
"I...I..."Veronica said,trying to not cry,but after how Duo looked
at her,and what he told her,she knew she was lucky to survive,she
made Duo worried,a lot,and she felt guilty for that.
"I'm sorry"Veronica said,releasing a lot of tears,and the she
hugged his leg
"I didn't know where you were and i got lost and i was looking for
you,i won't separate from this team again,i swear"She said,still
tears falling down her eyes
Duo suddenly heard Veronica at his leg, tugging at him. It had
worked, but a little too well. He hated to see her crying at his
leg. How could I not see that possibly happening? "It's
fine, Veronica...just please don't do it again. It scared me,
having you lost, and it made me think you would be the
third..."
"The third...?"Veronica Said,but then she realized that she knew
the answer to that"...Forget it"She continued,and separated herself
from Duo's leg.
"I am happy to see you all again,including you,Miles"Veronica said
smiling,after all,even with what just happened,at least she found
her friends again
