Their flight back to Celestelle was scheduled the same day. Gio had an easy time fitting himself into such things on a tight schedule because of his clan's name.
On top of getting plane tickets on a day's notice, he was able to find them a good hotel to stay at while they waited.
After everything was said and done, they needed some time off before they could indulge themselves in more excitement.
Shiro and Serene especially started to come down from the almost month-long adrenaline rush on the car ride into the city. When they got to the hotel, the two of them found themselves beds and passed out.
Neriah wasn't as burnt out, but she still needed rest. As for Gio…
Well, in his mind, "rest" and "planning for the future" were one and the same.
When they were comfortably settled at the hotel, he instantly pulled up his holowatch and called Farrah, who picked up after three short rings.
"Is this a call from Gio, or is this someone calling to tell me he died?"
