"Oh—"

"—mine are too."

He nods. "I think it has been days. ...We are somewhere desert-like. We should wake the others up and find the others."

"So many others," she agrees, smiling faintly. "Okay." Can she try to wake the ones around them up...?

No dice. "I can't carry two people. I could fly you out if there is an exit and come back for them?" he asks grimly.

"...I can carry multiple people. Probably."

"Oh, what's the limit to your shapeshifting-?" He starts asking. "We don't have time. And you know what you can do."

"I do," she nods.

Felix goes over quietly to Victor's bed and figures a good angle to carry him.

"I'm going to need more space than here—we should try to find the others."

Nod. "Maybe we should leave them here and do recon first? Or I could go do recon by myself..."

"Your magic is probably more useful for that, but I'm wary of leaving them here alone..."

Felix thinks. "Yeah. It's probably not a good idea to come back for them. I can probably pay attention to air currents and knock out anyone that sees us."

"Yeah. Do you think you can find everyone else?"

"I have a better chance than someone that isn't as mobile or as capable of defending himself."

Nod.

Hug?

Hug indeed.

Now, time to get on the move. Felix checks the corridor and it looks clear. He carries Victor and after pausing for a moment he decides to go left.

Dayo takes Jessica; she's not as strong in this shape as when she's a boy and she's conserving her energy.

Another turn, then Felix goes very still and walks back. "I think," he whispers, "there is a large room that way, but I think I also heard voices from there."

"Could you make out what they were saying?"

Headshake.

"We should—try to figure it out. Is there a closed door or something? I could try to listen in and you keep watch."
