It was a short walk to find the two boys, Easier than expected for Robtero and his fellow soldier, King Jerameriah had sent them to find the two boys, reportedly good friends of Princess Linda, who was in the medical facility known as Hayslem General Hospital. It was a good place as any to start looking for the two boys, who were no doubt wanderingt the city when they crashed into the pair...
The two tiger guards of the royal family, Roberto was the personal bodyguard of the Princess, Linda of the Bubastis-Bagheera kingdom. She was in the hospital, from poison ivy, too much of it infact.
Roberto's eyes went wide when he spotted the two boys, his mind recalled the exact words of the scene with the King and his daughter, barely awake in the bed. "For all I know my daughter is dying, she keeps requesting to see two boys. one of which she insists is a good friend and harmless and can be trusted. I want you two to find them and bring them here. I will speak to them before they see her. Ensure that you are, as my daughter insists, kind to the pair." But no Roberto saw the two boys. Therion Judex, and Cliff Lyco. And Robertos nose flared.
He smelled werewolf. He didnt know which was which, but after debating quietly with his fellow guard the two massive men approched the two boys, and Roberto asked them a simple question "Do either of you know a young girl named Linda Perrault ?"

Theri stopped in his tracks, hand going for his wand but stopping short. Guards were never a good sign, for a number of reasons, most notably the magi was probably wanted for someone's murder somewhere. The men were older, and bigger than Cliff and his roommate, however that never stopped them before. Most adults would balk at an orc regiment and a Cyclops accompanying them, but these kids were Astrius students and didn't balk at much.
Though, it's not like they had done anything wrong. Strolling through Hayslem City, looking for a get-well gift for Linda wasn't against the law last time he had checked. Therion shot a glance at Cliff, before thumbing his nose and puffing out his chest. The way the man flared his nostrils didn't sit well with Theri. Something about it looked malicious, and as far as he was concerned, Theri had a monopoly on malice. Then they had the gall to stand there and whisper to each other, like he wasn't standing right in front of them. "Maybe, maybe not. Depends who's asking!" He spat out with quite a bit of not so subtle vehemency.
Linda was tough, she'd make it out of this, and as such the Astrius student wasn't taking kindly to these random people poking into their business on her account. Putting on airs, like they're hot stuff, maybe I should set them ablaze, add some truth to their airs. Of course, that was against the Astrius Academy rules, and he'd no doubt face disciplinary actions if he indulged himself, so he restrained the impulse. "In case you're blind and haven't noticed, we're kind of in the middle of something. Could you be a little more upfront?"

While the confrontation between Their, Cliff and the guards was going on at one point in the lane, a portal opened up at a far enough distance not to be too noticeable to the five basic senses, although it may have pinged on a few magical ones.
Two dishevelled looking girls and a pristine looking one were dropped from them.
Guinevere raised her head, "We're back?", she whispered joyfully. before slightly louder, "We're back."
She uncharacteristically grabbed Selene, the other dishevelled girl, and hugged her in an open display of emotion.
"We're back! Those Elves did it! We're back!"
Normally Selene would have protested at least slightly, insisting on at least a semblance of professionalism, but even she had been rather shaken by what happened in the other place. Blaise, while looking rather unruffled, not even a hair out of place, at the very least agreed with the sentiment.
"Never again", Guinevere swore, referring to going through an unknown portal. This she meant, even if the circumstances had forced them to, as the portal had appeared right underneath their feet.
Blaise send her a Look, and Guinevere amended,
"At least not until professor Uchini decides on having another one of his surprise outings."
To understand this conversation one must go back in time a few relative months. Unfortunately, the narrator is rather lazy, and won't explain anything, beyond saying that they were dropped on a world called Sekaysu, after an attempt to summon a certain former Rose Knight back went awry.
Selene on the other hand, send Blaise a disbelieving look right back.
No, seriously. Selene did. This is not a joke.
At that out of character display of the silver-haired girl, Blaise admitted, "Okay, that world might have been a bit too nonsensical, even for someone of my skills. But hey, at least we figured out the cause!"
At Guinevere's similarly raised eyebrow, the other girl twitched and continued, "Even if it was something as fucking ridiculous as an airborne STD having come to affect the entirety of the native human race. Like, how even can that be qualified as one if it's airborne?"
Yes, despite her unruffled looks, the happenings had affected even Blaise to the point of swearing.

The three girls had decided to enter the Hospital shortly after having returned. Just to ensure they hadn't caught anything. They could have gone to the nurse's office at the school, but they were literally 20 meters away from the Hospital Entrance. If they did catch anything while off-world, it would have been better to have it looked at ASAP. They might have not been affected themselves, but they could have become carriers of the disease either way.
It was an unwarranted fear in the end, everything having turned out fine according to the hospital staff, although they did get praised for their vigilance. The doctor in question even wistfully commenting how they wished all students at Astrius were this diligent in trying to prevent otherworldy plagues from spreading after their adventures. Which turned out to be an actual problem.
In the end they did take pity on the three girls and offered them use of their showers. They quickly accepted, it being a heavensent after spending months on a planet without running water and shampoo.
Afterwards they rebought their supplies -the supplies they bought before having been used up on Sekaysu-, before returning to the school.
