It was true. He was beyond screwed. Mei was pissed Eliot had left. Again. Oh sure this time he'd passed a message to Connie, but still he had promised her not to leave again without telling
her he was going to be gone for an extended period. Sure it could be argued he "told" her by telling Connie, but it didn't feel that way to her in the slightest. Which meant she was one pissed off Mien Shao at the moment.
She had been beside herself with worry for ages. She'd heard of all the disappearances and kidnappings, of course she had, and she understood he needed to save Brenny, but for the love of Arceus, why hadn't he left her a note!? Now, she had to worry about Brenny
and him!
So when that door finally came open, and she heard her boyfriends voice, his timing couldn't have been worse, she'd been dicing some vegetables, making soup for herself. His words though had her eyes narrowing and she hissed some. "Just in time for me to make Gyrardos soup!" her eyes flashed in anger as she slapped the blade of the knife against her cutting board.
