You know, yeah, Koren, that dude that likes messing with Ciess' head and stuff? Yeah, he was just standing around in his room now.
Yeah.

What if this isn't cleaning the place up, but a restoration to its semi-natural state?
"Hmm, I guessed as much. I've actually come to a different conclusion, but I think we should leave this place to Poice and his new best friend first. I'll tell you what i think when we get up there," said Durnam, extending his hand to Elia. If she did take his hand, then there'd be a fairly show exit for the two of them. First and foremost, in order to conceal Durnam's Marionettiste abilities, a tunnel of flame (luckily, it wasn't emitting any heat) surrounded the two of them, heading upwards and over the top of the hole. Without warning, the chain shot upwards from the ground at Durnam's feet, fast enough to carry the two of them over the pit. Durnam grabbed on, with Elia in tow, and was dragged by the chain upwards. Upon reaching the top of the pit, Durnam dispelled the chain and the flame effects, and let Elia's hand go, knowing that she would be able to land properly on the ground. Durnam, however, wasn't so lucky. Instead of landing rather fluidly, Durnam's focus was more on making the chains and fire disappear; and, as a result, he was sent tumbling for about five or so feet, finally stopping with his back on the dirt.
Shit. Gods be damned, I'm never doing that again...
Of course, if Elia didn't hold on to his hand, they'd still be chilling down in that hole. Whatevs, man. Whatevs.
