Ami grunted as they reappeared at Deus. The orb in her bag felt hot at her side, as though it was trying to escape.
"We better show H. I don't think this is a ... normal piece of junk, you know?" Ami bit her lip. She wasn't sure why, but it felt special. After all, why would it be so guarded like that? Why create an entire underwater maze for it? It had to be special. She didn't risk her life countless times for nothing. She wouldn't accept it.
She shook herself off, watching bullets of water cascade off her jacket. "Maybe we could get some new clothes first? I'm soaked."

Unlike Ami, Wilson hummed as he strolled after the life hunter. One hand was in his pockets while the other clutched the snake staff. “Sounds like a good idea. I definitely agree.” The hunter curiously peered at the staff while the catoblepas in his head continued to hiss and moan about the item in his hands. There was something peculiar about this staff, but what was it?
At the mention of clothes, Wilson looked down at his dripping coat. He paused. “Yeah, that also sounds like a good idea.” Wilson motioned for Ami to go on. “Lead the way.”

Ami hadn't even noticed that Wilson grabbed a staff until now. What a strange choice, for him to take a staff. Wouldn't that be a bit ... hard to hold, with his weapon summoned? Somehow the image of Wilson fumbling with a staff was hilarious, but Ami didn't say anything about it.
They walked until they reached the dorms, Ami stopping at her own room and letting Wilson continue to his. Once in her room she changed into a more casual outfit, something much cuter than her groggy, sodden mission clothes.
Her eyes kept dragging themselves to the bag sitting on her bed. She knew the orb would probably be taken deep into the labs, quarantined and stored away forever. She'd lose it. They'd perform research on it, and then poof- gone forever.
She sighed and pulled it out, sitting on the bed with the orb in her lap. She loved the low hum it emitted, the soft glow. The warm lava that flowed in it. Her hands moved over it, fingertips brushing against the smooth surface. Ami shook her head. No, it was stupid, they wouldn't let her keep it. She shoved it back into her bag and threw the strap over her shoulder. Quietly, she opened her door and went down to Wilson's dorm, where she leaned against the wall as she waited for him to come out.

As Ami entered her dorm, Wilson walked into his. He threw the staff onto his bed before he shrugged off his clothes to put on a fresh hoodie and shirt. The hunter instinctively tugged at his goggles before he zipped up his hoodie. Wilson walked over to his bed and scooped the staff back up, stared at it for a moment, then peeked out the door. “Hey Ami—Oh.” He smiled as he stepped out, the door closing behind him. “Alright, let’s go."

Ami perked up as the doorknob turned, ready to go. Oh there he was. She had to laugh at how Wilson always seemed to be in the same clothing, mission or not. Hoodie, pants and goggles.
"Thank you," she said quietly. "Ah for- escorting me so many times. I appreciate it." Always a kind word for Wilson, always.
She looked somewhat curiously at the staff in his hands. "Why that? It looks rather... Plain." As far as Ami was concerned, it looked like a fancy stick next to her glowy power orb.

Smiling, he cocked his head at Ami as he laughed. “What? Oh.” Wilson glanced at the staff and playfully tossed it into his other hand. “It was nothing. Had a lot of fun in that labyrinth, although it got a bit boring after a while. I think it was still worth it.” He nodded his head.
The full hunter mimicked Ami’s expression. “It’s got a snake on it.” He spoke curiously, but as if his reply magically answered the question (it didn’t.) But maybe it was because Wilson had picked up the staff on a whim. The more Ami didn’t know, the better (probably). “Are we going to H or….?”

Ami cracked a smile at Wilson. It was so like a death hunter to grow bored of traps. If she thought it was funny, she did nothing but cover her mouth with a hand and turn away so Wilson couldn't see.
His reasons were so simple, so simple. "Ah, yes, we are," she responded as they walked out of the dorms and towards the Main HQ, where the Doctor's office was. "Do you think we should show another leader?" she asked him. Just in case, just in case.

He kept staring curiously at Ami, but said nothing more.
“Well, the other logical choice would be to show Caelius, er, Mark but…” Wilson’s voice trailed off. Terminator Mark.... “Yeah, let’s just go to H’s office.”

SO THEY DID.
---
Ami knocked quietly on the Doctor's door. She'd heard he'd been incredibly busy lately, but then, when was he not busy? She only hoped he would have enough time to entertain their find. It was important, right?
"If he's not in, we can lock them in the labs," she said, tugging on her bag, "And come back tomorrow." This orb certainly was heavy.

"It's open," the doctor intoned with soft clarity. The office no longer featured holes or lounging, reptilian women, and the dove was nowhere in sight. (Though upon his book shelf there was a new decoration in the form of a delicately avian skeleton with a few odd mutations.) The man himself was quietly writing in what appeared to be a journal, not bothering to look up at their entry.

Wilson nodded at Ami, but as he heard H’s voice behind the door, the hunter obligingly opened the door and let Ami walk in first before he followed. The door clicked softly as he closed it. He first gave the skeleton bird a peculiar look before shaking his head—stay on task, Wilson!—and looked at Ami as he spoke up. “So…Ami, me, and a few others went to this underwater labyrinth and we got these items from it. We were wondering what you would like to do with them."

Ami quickly filled in beside Wilson, eyes on the ground. She noted the bird, but was more relieved by the fact that the naked snake lady was gone. She could just focus on talking to the Doctor instead of thinking OH MY GOD BOOBS.
She quickly opened her bag and pulled out the glowing orb, right along side Wilson's. Lucky for her, the green-scarved hunter took over explaining their situation, albeit dismissing how many time they'd been killed. Good on you Wilson.
"Your orders, sir?" she asked obediently, eyes on his feet.
