The rough man smiled at the witch and mage, “Now, I like to think it’d be nice to have’n support magic since we’ve only got offense.” He turned to the other two and asked, “Rue, Alin? Your thoughts?”

Rue, the witch. Looked at the floating cleric for a while then stating, “I think she’ll just get in the way.” Her face remained as cold as her words.

The man’s face turned into a frown. “Don’t you think that's a little harsh, Rue?” He opined.

Rue pointed and shouted, “Bull! Just look at her! She could barely even walk over here without tripping over her own feet!”

The man presumed to be Bull looked at Ling, who was slowly making her back around with a full rotation, there were a few seconds of silence before he met her pleading eyes and wholesome smile. He laughed, “All I see is an innocent young girl that wants to join a party!” He stopped and leaned in close to Rue and murmured, “Is it because you’re jealous?”

At first, she didn’t understand what he meant until he pointed at her chest. In which she looked down witnessing her near washboard physique. “That has nothing to do with this!” she screamed.

Ling finally decided to speak, “Uhm, could I be put down now?” She was already on her way towards another full rotation. Rue with a flick of her wrist released her hold. With the help of gravity Ling came crashing down to the floor.

-5HP Damage dealt to self.

From underneath the table, the faint sound of pain could be heard. Bull turned to the only member that was still was silent, the mage Alin. “So, what're your thoughts?” he asked.

He suddenly yelled, “What!?” He looked at the three frantically.

“Your opinion.” Bull said, “On whether we get a healer.”

“You also think that she’ll be useless, right?” Rue argued.

“Uh. I uh.” Alin stammered. “I think everyone deserves a chance.”

Bull smiled smugly and declared, “That settles it! The healer joins our party!” he reached out his hand towards Ling lifting her self from the floor. “Welcome aboard Miss-uh? What’s your name?”

Ling looked at his hand and took it giggling, “It’s Ling.”

“You probably already figured it out but, My name is Bull,” he pointed to the witch, “Rue” then to the mage, “and that's Arlin.”

The mention of Arlin’s name made Ling’s face brighten, and she immediately embraced the boy in a young smothering his face in between her two mountains she repeatedly shouted, “Thank you!” until the boy had to tap out for air. When the two broke contact Alin’s face was as red as tomato although, it was unsure whether or not that was because of the unnecessary hug or because he couldn’t breathe. The answer was probably both.

Bull spoke, “We were about to head down into the dungeons after a few drinks, care to join us?”

“I can’t.” Ling denied, “I have to get a new staff, my old party broke it.”

“Oh,” groaned bull. “Shame, this could’ve been a bonding moment.”

Ling clasped her hands together and apologized, “I’m very sorry!” She then turned around from the table and left them.

“See?” she muttered to the handbag. “humans are stupid,” Mic grumbled from her waist while she walked. she repeated. “‘Did I notice?’ Of course, I did. But I don’t think they noticed and by the looks of it they’ll never notice.”

Bull swung his hammer catching a kobold in the side; its body bent unnaturally to the side as it flinging it into the dungeon wall. Whatever bones that were still not crushed into oblivion by the attack surely shattered the moment it made the impact.

“Ah!” Ling gasped, “You’re so strong! You killed it instantly!” she began touching Bull’s exposed biceps.

“That was nothing!” Bull boasted. “I’ll really show you something when we reach the boss” Bull smirked flexing for the female grabbing on his arms.

“Get a room,” Rue muttered rolling her eyes, taking the initiative to scout the rest of the way. “Lesser light!” she yelled. An orb of white light projected itself from the skull staff and into the ceiling. Most of the objects that were being just so happened to be the walls, ceiling, and a seemingly endless hall.

Alin had approached Rue, leaving the cleric and party leader. “Do you really hate Ling?” he asked.

She shook her head. “I don’t hate her,” she confessed, “It's just that I’ve seen parties dissolve because of girls like that.”

Alin mouthed an ‘o.’ “You think she’s a danger to our composition?”

She nodded. “Sort of. Girls like her busty, cute and carefree… they can turn men into puppets real quick. I think she’s dangerous.”

Alin snickered, “So, this was about your chest size?”

Rue’s faced turned red causing her to yell in embarrassment. “Shut up! It's not!” she gave him a light punch on his arm. The two then shared a burst of light laughter, until it was interrupted when the flooring began to depress underneath her foot. The two of them both looked down and simultaneously said, “Uh oh.” In the distance, there was a faint scraping noise only to be followed behind by the screaming of two party members.

Bull and Ling came into full view, running their hardest. Bull shouted quickly, “Run!” As he passed the two magic users

The two were confused at first until the giant boulder came into view. Then they took off running. It didn’t take long for them to reach the other two, especially when they’re running for their lives. Rue continued to cast lesser light on the ceilings.

Alin took in deep breaths quickly, being a mage typically meant weak physical attributes. The last light orb that went out illuminated a fast-approaching wall with no other means of movement; in other words, a dead end. The party halted before the wall.

Bull looked at Ling immediately dropped to the floor pressing her ear on the ground and started tapping on the floor the moment they stopped running. “Ling, what the hell are you doing?”

Ling knocked on the floor again ignoring Bull; the feedback from the floor was hollow and echoed. She jumped up from the ground and backed up shouting, “There! Blow up the floor there!”

Alin exhausted chanted, “Lesser explosion!” a fireless eruption occurred right in the spot where Ling was pointing. The debris scattered all around hitting everything but the party.

“Jump in!” Ling yelled.

“Don’t have to tell me twice!” Bull yelled taking the first leap shortly followed by the rest.

The fall wasn’t long, but it wasn’t short either. Fortunately, when they landed, they did not suffer any injuries. Rue cast another lesser light. Everyone was trying to regain their footing and breathing.

“Wait,” Rue said, “Couldn’t you have just cast protection?”

Ling stuck out her tongue. “Silly me, I forgot!”
