Jules' eyes practically light up as she bends down and picks her up. She cradles her in the nook of her elbow and gently pets her. It felt like she has done this before. She gently begins to rock subconsciously. She begins to hum a soft lullaby. She looked very gentle and caring as she smiles warmly. "Sleep well little adventurer." She says softly.

Alastor crossed his arms, growing slightly concerned. "Alright, Raven's got 'er bag, Jules has got her new friend, and Neo's awake and alive. What's uhh... what's the plan right now? Got to admit, feel like we've taken more steps back than we have forward. We're still sittin' ducks right now."

"I got one...but I think you're not going to like it...Ever heard of the 'Lost Continent?'"Neo said as he stood up

"Well we have many paths to take. Help Neo with his angel demon stuff, help Raven find her group, or go find your friend you were mentioning earlier. Those are the top 3 I can think of that take priority over other ideas. However if you feel as though there is another path I have forgotten I am all ears. And technically speaking, just as you can summon a demon, you can summon an angel with the right kind of stuff and symbols. So I suppose I can help Neo wherever we go. I just need some ingredients. Regardless, I think maybe we should track her group or ho to your bud." She says matter of factly as she tries to talk softly.

"The Lost Continent ? Sounds somewhat familiar but I cant say I do." She tilts her head.

Raven yawns and curls up in Jules's arms, turning from cat into a faceless puff of black in seconds. She purrs quietly for minutes, then with a tired sigh, her breath slows into a steady rhythm of sleep.

She might as well be dead for the ensuing conversation, her ears only twitching a little should one of them raise their voice, or if Jules speaks up suddenly.

Drake slouches over the bar, resting his head in his hands. His gaze lazily drifts over to Victi laying her head on the table, who stares off into space like the rest of the world just isn't there. Then he closes his eyes, and his head sloooowly sinks toward the table until he passes out.

After a thankfully reasonable wait, the keep slides two dishes topped with broiled fish and vegetables in front of the exhausted hunters. The clatter of the plate against the countertop and the appetizing scent wafting from the hot meal jolts Drake awake and plasters a huge, eager grin on his face.

"Why thank you very much!" He pulls one of the plates in front of him and digs in.

Victi only nods her thanks before digging in, and proceeding through her food alarmingly quickly. As soon as she's done, regardless of if Drake is or not, she'll make the shortly-worded request of "room key," and head upstairs as soon as she gets it, giving Drake a hardly-reassuring, mumbled, "I won't lock" as she goes.

Alastor gave a slight chuckle. "Never heard of it, but I imagine that may be how it got it's name. Reckon there might be something that'll help?"

"Nice summary Jules. S'pose, the next questions are can we get the ingredients to summon yer friend while travelling? Figure that might decide which way we go. Try and take out two birds with one stone, so ter speak. And Raven, have yeh got any clues on how to find yer.... aaand she's asleep. S'pose I can't blame her. Must be exhausted." Alastor sighs.

She is momentarily in love with Raven and her purs. Her eyes light up and are warm. "Awww shes too precious... I want her." She cuddles her close before looking up at Alastor and Neo.

"Oh uh. Yeah I can pick up the ingredients along the way. That and I know the symbols by heart... d-dont ask why. Anyway, perhaps we will find her group along the way as well. In a perfect world that would all work out that way." She chuckles and lightly pets Raven.

Lisa turns toward the exit with rubbed-red cheeks and enters the near-empty space with caution, most likely only leaving the elevator of her own volition because Adriannu darted out to greet an officer with reckless abandon.

She approaches the kitsune officer with a meek smile and nod, following him toward the boxes while trying to apologize for the sweet wild child's behavior like a flustered parent. "I-I'm sorry about that; she's just excited to be here."
