Baton-brand Justice (Nerd x Zylo 1x1)

[Zylo the Wolfbane]

Darius lead the way to the motel room they had gotten, a larger one to fit his larger party.  

[SuperNerd000]

Laura was waiting for him, already undressed.

Zelda was on watch under orders from Gazzine.  

[Zylo the Wolfbane]

Darius took Rosie and lead the way over to Laura onto the nearby bed.

"Yvella?!" Gazzine asked, blinking as the snake girl entered.

"Gazzie!" The girl exclaimed, jumping at Gazzine.  

[SuperNerd000]

Rosie smiled, simply tugging at her clothing as she was lead. (TS/PM)

Gloria just barely managed to get out of Yvella's way, like Rosie before her.

Zelda squinted her eyes as she thought she saw another familiar figure approach.

Yma let out a sigh as she got back home, exhausted.  

[Zylo the Wolfbane]

Gazzine caught Yvella much more easily than Darius, because she was at least prepared for it, and more used to it. She set the snake girl down, "So how did you get here?"

Yvella shrugged, "Ya know, trapped in a magical item for years and years."

Shanoma sighed laying back on a chair, drinking from a silver flask.  

[SuperNerd000]

Gloria tried to remember whether Yvella was at the battles.

Yma grabbed a bottle of wine from her kitchen before moving to sit on the couch, resting her hammer next to her, "Dropped her off at Viola's successfully. Wasn't expecting to see you pick up drinking again when I got back."  

[Zylo the Wolfbane]

Gazzine frowned, "But..." She sighed, "Whatever, you're here now, that's important."

Yvella nodded, turning to Gloria, "And you...ah, you're one of the trainee mages right? You weren't among my group though..."

Shanoma sighed, "It's not booze, I kind of wish it was though." She grumbled.  

[SuperNerd000]

Gloria nodded, "I was an apprentice summoner assigned to Miss Gazzine's personal platoon." she said, deciding not to bring up just how badly that turned out for said platoon.

"Well, I could share some of this with you if you want to grab another glass, and if you aren't worried about... it happening again." Yma said, holding up the bottle of wine.  

[Zylo the Wolfbane]

Yvella nodded, sitting down in Gazzine's lap comfortably, "That makes sense, the rookies always go to her for basic training before coming to me."

"No thanks. Drinking will just make me angrier." Shanoma said, taking another drink from her flash and grimacing before capping it and tucking it away.  

[SuperNerd000]

Gloria nodded, not sure what else to say.

"Suit yourself... you wanna talk about what's bothering you?" Yma asked as she poured herself a glass of wine.  

[Zylo the Wolfbane]

"Does that mean I should start training her then?" Yvella asked, looking at Gazzine.

Gazzine glanced at Gloria, "Probably, yes."

Shanoma sighed, "The usual. Too much evil s**t around, not enough quality people to fight it." She muttered, "Everyday we lose more too..."  

[SuperNerd000]

Gloria silently reached for her staff in case they decided to start immediately.

"Hey, you know there's more good people out there to fight it, even if they aren't all demon hunters for a living. Remember when you gathered up a good chunk of the city to fight Viviana?" Yma said, taking a sip of wine.  

[Zylo the Wolfbane]

Yvella grinned, "Perfect! You're mine now! My student of course." She said brightly.

"Most of whom were mercenaries, or general do-gooders, few of them could truly face down a demon lord, few would risk it all like we do." Shanoma said, shaking her head.  

[SuperNerd000]

"O-Of course." Gloria said with a nod.

"Oh, I'm sure if needed, some of them would step up to the task." Yma said.

Cerebella groaned as she finally made it home, flopping down on the couch, not caring as her dress slipped up (or down, depending what part of the dress).

Tannis glanced up from her work on Zealot as Cerebella came in, turning to shout, "Moxxie, the circus girl is back." she said before turning back to her work.  

[Zylo the Wolfbane]

"Great! Let's start by relaxing!" Yvella said, promptly pouncing Gloria.

"Sure, they might try, but how many would be lost? Lose motivation, lose sight of the goal?"

"Be nice Tannis." Moxxie said, sauntering out to Cerebella, "Tough day?"
