Se'rox felt the woman named Dragon enter the room. She stood still and silent as Xangord tried to explain who she was. She felt Dragon shift her weight a few times. She assumed the woman wanted a good look at her. That bugged Se'rox. Why does everyone have to look at a person? Why can't everyone else learn patience?

Dragon then pushed Xangord aside. Se'rox almost smiled; the barest upwards twist of the corner of her mouth, by the way she felt Xangord try to resist being moved. However, Se'rox was quite concerned with the close quarters, and the sharpness of Dragon's mood.

"So the question is what to do with you? I can't order you off my ship or put you in the brig because you'll create another of those blasted portals." Dragon said, finishing the conversation she had been holding with Xangord and the rest of her crew to address Se'rox directly.

Se'rox smiled more. "Well, I'm glad you at least understand that you have no direct control over me." Se'rox said, looking at where Dragon's face should be, judging by her words. "So. I was going to ask for a ride. But, seeing as you can't handle things aboard your own ship well enough, I think I'll pass.

With that, Se'rox flung her arms forward, throwing the mud she had created from the dirt in the bay and the moisture in the air directly into Dragon's face. She hardened the mud instantly, making it more like cement, before creating a portal behind her. This all happened within about two seconds.

"Rose!" Se'rox said across the room, "I'll talk to you later. For now, I'm gonna have to camp out somewhere else."

And with that, Se'rox stepped backward into the portal and closed it behind her.

Rose had opened her mouth to respond to Dragon's quip about the fairies being after them (and to ask if they were actually going to be leaving yet), when she realized that most of Dragon's anger was directed at the woman Se'rox.

Rose watched from farther back as Dragon tried to confront Se'rox. Rose almost jumped though, when Se'rox flung mud into Dragon's face after spitting back a tart reply to her direct question. Then Se'rox left. And what was worst, was that she had to yell over at Rose first. As if Dragon wasn't mad enough about the fairies right now, now Rose had been identified as having a friendly link with the woman who threw mud at Dragon and vanished.

Rose stood there, one arm holding the elbow of the other, which was busy covering her face. This was not going to be a pleasant trip back to Gaia. Ohhhhh no.

Se'rox quickly traversed the needed area in the dark tunnel, and opened up another portal.

Sighing happily as she stepped on to the sweet solid ground, she resisted the urge to create a mud-pit to roll around in. It would feel really nice about now, too. However, Se'rox walked up to the door of the house she stood in front of on Gaia, and knocked three times. She truly hoped her only other friend in the universe had been truthful in stating that this was one place he would go if he needed to. Se'rox waited for an answer.
