When Ember woke up it was like a weight off his chest, Daxter was glad to see she was alright, especially after what Vance had done so easily to her. He wouldn't admit it, but Noah was right and Vance would have wrecked him. But he was still angry with him, perhaps inexplicably so, although he did have to admit he was concerned with why he'd gone to talk to Vance, it seemed so casual that Daxter couldn't imagine it was anything good. But maybe his imagination was running away with him, yet he wasn't letting it go. He wasn't happy with how powerful Noah was, though he was still powerless when it came to actual powers, so Daxter had that on him. Still annoyed by Noah, he gave a little "tch" when he spoke up to Ember about where she was, being vague as his typical self. He respected him, but right now it just seemed like there was too much mystery around him. When Ember decided she wanted to meet in the living room so she could talk to Noah on her own, Daxter shrugged and went to leave, giving a glance to Noah on his way out. Noah approached the bed and sat at the foot of it, looking at her as she asked what had happened. It took him a moment, but he replied with the truth: "I found out by Theodore trying to track you and Daxter the night you both went missing. We found Daxter encountering a girl who took your appearance. Lucia. She was the one who set you up in this kidnapping process. She's also working with Vance," when Ember growled at that name he took a pause, giving her a kind gentle smile, knowing it wasn't easy. "None of us were happy by what she'd done -- " suddenly she gave him a hug, approaching him. He was surprised, taken aback by it, but wasn't minding it nonetheless.
"I'm sorry." She said to him, "any friend of Vance must have been terrifying and gruesomely as evil as he was, so I'm sorry you got involved in my problems." Noah had given a soft chuckle, putting an arm around her waist as her's slipped from his shoulder. "She was not actually too terrible," he told her honestly, and minus the part where she had poisoned him, she wasn't. "When I had given up, Daxter told me the main detail of what happened and what he was willing to do. But you know Noah... you're very important to me. Thank you for helping look for me. I appreciate this." He smiled lightly, it was strange to have friends but he couldn't say he didn't like it. He'd been so hard, so tough, that letting a little softness through was nice. "I don't know what Vance and his people want... But I can assure you one thing, I won't let anything happen to my friends."
"You have nothing to worry about, we can take care of ourselves. I suppose you should go talk to Daxter, me and him are not on good terms at the moment so he'll become jealous here shortly." If she inquired, he would tell her the reasons why they weren't too friendly at the moment, but he was right, it was likely that Daxter wanted to see her.
