"It'll most likely be a dead end as well." Eilumi groaned. "And if it is... well..."

"We locate this maze, and begin searching there?" Nine suggested.

"Yeah. That."

Once they were well out of sight, and out of earshot, Brene removed her hand from Veera's mouth and shoulders.

"Why did you do that, Brene?" Veera asked "They might have been able to help."

"Veera," Brene responded with a look and tone of worry in her voice, "A bunch of very strange mons show up, right out of the blue, and start asking about you and your friend? Doesn't that seem odd to you?"
