("I did hear she was a fan of drinking.") Tibaut thought as he saw them. Their movements seemed sloppy and Tibaut could hear Vanessa's voice raised, though he couldn't discern any of the words she spoke.

"Ugh, I'll enter through the back entrance," Tina commented as she saw the two.

"Come on, they're probably not drunk (hopefully). Besides we've gone for a while, the least we can do is greet them."

Tina clicked her tongue and continued walking alongside him.

After they had gotten into the clear, Lucky turned around and headed back to the forest. ("He really is more of an outdoors wolf. Though I'm not sure if there's such a thing as an indoors wolf.")

As they approached closer, it seemed the two noticed them. Vanessa got up and could barely walk in a straight line towards them while Lily seemed to have no issue walking but had a rather mischievous smile on her face.

Tibaut raised one of his hands up.

"Hey, Vanessa, it's been-" Before he could get his greetings out, Vanessa staggered over and landed an almost pinpoint punch to his groin. He was reminded of one of those kung-fu movies with how swift her movement was. He kneeled over and she jumped into him, causing them both to fall to the floor.

"I suppose I should have expected this," Tibaut said with a smirk. Considering what he had been in the previous week, a weak punch to the dick wasn't really all that bad.

"You bastard!" She slurred. She hugged him tight and made it hard for him to get up.

("Hold on, is she angry? I can't tell if this is just how she is with some booze in her.")

Tina sighed as she watched this. "We were only gone for two weeks." She commented. She walked over towards the two idiots on the floor but another idiot grabbed onto her leg.

"Don't go ruining this Tina, just because you can't find a man doesn't mean you should ruin it for the rest of us." The short girl in a hoodie, snidely remarked as she held on to her leg.

"What was that, you little shit!?" Tina angrily responded.

Lily blew raspberries at her and then bit her ankle.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Ow, damnit, this is why I hate it when you're like this." She said. She quickly withdrew her foot and rubbed it. Lily proceeded to blow more raspberries in her face and ran away with her arms in a t pose. This left Tina red with anger and she wasted no time chasing her.

"Uh, you good Vanessa?" Tibaut asked, unsure what she was mad about.

She pounded on his chest but other than the noise it made it didn't hurt in any way.

"Am I good? You bastard, where's that Grace girl? I've heard you got a woman." She asked as she got closer and closer to his face.

"Grace? What does she have to do with anything? Besides, how do you even know about her?" Tibaut asked as confusion started to cloud his face.

Tina, who now had Lily pinned to the floor with her foot on her neck, filled in the blanks for him.

"What do you think, we sent her a letter," Tina responded.

"Yeah they sent me the letters but you didn't you, you, you asshole." She looked like she was going to punch him but stopped the punch and instead started crying.

Tibaut looked completely out of his depth. ("I've dealt with a drunk before but this is way too different.")

He looked to Tina for help but she only gave him a scathing glare.

"You didn't even have the decency to send her a letter and you had the gall to fool around with another girl? You're pure scum. I can't believe I respected you."

It seems the atmosphere had taken hold of Tina as well.

"Woah, hold you know we're not like that. Besides, I didn't know you guys were sending letters."

"Why do you feel the need to embarrass yourself? Of course, we sent them letters. What kind of uncivilised mud hole did you crawl out of that doesn't send letters?"

"(Ugh, now that I think about it, I've never needed to send a letter to anyone.) Listen, I grew up in a poor household."

"Don't give me that when you're fully capable of reading."

As those two were busy arguing, Vanessa was busy getting a good look at his lips. She contemplated taking this opportunity but as she looked at him and more of his face, she realised his face looked quite sunken in. It seemed to sober her up for a moment.

"What happened to you?" She asked. Her attitude had changed and she was visibly concerned.

"Oh right." She walked over and picked Vanessa off of him. Behind her back, Lily had grabbed a bottle of her alcohol and splashed some on Tina. Like a stone, she didn't hesitate to throw Vanessa at her.

The two collided and were sent to the ground.

"Elizabeth said to let him rest and get some food in him," Tina said.

"You're just jealous she has someone to snuggle, you pink-haired tomboy. Maybe if you didn't dress like a man so often-"

Lily was seriously starting to piss her off and she held her hand out as if motioning for something.

"Oi, aren't you guys guildmates!" Tibaut shouted at her.

She held her hand for a few seconds until she remembered something. ("Oh right, I left it with the other stuff. Elizabeth did say she'd get someone to bring our luggage here later.")

She held out her hand before her and had some electricity spark out of it. ("Guess my fist will have to do.")

And when she looked in front, the front door was open and Lily was gone.

("Tch, slippery little bitch. For my own sake, I'll have to get rid of all the alcohol here.") Tina thought to herself.

She looked to Vanessa on the floor who was staring at Tibaut with visible concern.
