Riure yelped and jumped backward as a loud metallic clang reverberated around her. She stumbled into a wall that had suddenly appeared right behind her (or she was just completely turned around and it had been there the whole time) and nearly fell over. Sadiq followed her yelp with an echoing bark.

Someone breathed in deeply, exhaling with a whoosh. Riure froze.

“Hello, Giggle Ga–person. Hello, person.” Oh, it was New Voice. Riure stifled a laugh. She was pretty certain he was about to say Giggle Gal or something, which actually fit her pretty well. “Right now I’m pretty sure we need to get out of here before we’re crushed or something, like in Star Wars. Oh, wait, sorry, wrong universe. Not supposed to break the fourth wall, right…” What? “Anyhow, I’m Zanar. You are… ?”

Riure smiled, ready to answer, but he interupted with: “Oh, wait, are you blind? Oof, so so sorry. I totally didn’t mean it that way. I’m really sorry. I kinda blurt things when I’m freaking out.”

This time Riure couldn’t keep her laughter in. It filled the space with bubbles as she released the pressure in her gut. “I’m Riure, yes I’m blind, and you don’t have to apologize. I get that a lot.” She laughed again. “Nice to meet you, Zanar. This is Sadiq.” She patted her dog’s head fondly. Where was Ehud, or Master Zeiss, or Gavril? Sadiq liked Gavril, at least. She was growling at the boy.

“Where are we, anyway?” Riure continued. Something thumped into the wall behind her and her reflexes jerked her forward. Another loud thump sounded, and Riure cocked her head towards it. “And what’s happening? Is Lord Castle trying to kill us again?”
