… Thario is eating a croissant.

"Why is there water coming from apparently nowhere?"

"I tried the lightswitch."

"Apparently the lightswitch objected to this," says Blue.

"I suppose that makes as much sense as anything."

"Yeah. Approximately none."

"Anyway," says Thario. "How was the cylinder?"

"The doors inside led to apparently unconnected places. It may have been a useful exploration shortcut, if you hadn't flooded the building."

"I mean, you got out of it so presumably you can get back in?"

"I can fly back up, yeah," says Maya, "but it's a little awkward."

"It's usually easier to jump down than up."

"… Yyyeah but it's not like it's impossible to go through back up to that floor?"

"Uh, it was kinda totally flooded on the ground floor? And probably the second and maybe the third floor too?"

"It wasn't that bad when we left it," inputs Blue.

"The thing about floods is that they tend to get worse as they go on."

"Well yes they do but it wasn't much water at the time and it was slowing down."

"Besides, it's not actually our fault that this place objects to turning on a light. So you should maybe cut it with the whole 'you're all idiots and this is your fault that we're inconvenienced', because it's not."

"Can't you both create light out of nothing? Why did you try the light switch?"

"To check if the power works? You know, since these are weird buildings in the middle of nowhere and I see no power source and I wanted to know if it was mysteriously doing power too?"

"The outlets were, even if the switch was doing water instead."

"Okay, and it would've been nice to know that before I tried the switch that did weird water instead." Sigh. "For the record, flipping the switch off did not stop the water."

"I was assuming you did at least check that."

"Thanks," he says. "I'm glad you don't think I'm quite that stupid."

Ugh.

Elleira commences investigating the bakery for anything that might contain chocolate, to which Zash had recently introduced her.

There are pains au chocolat? By the croissants.
