"Downright a tragedy."

Heh.

And of course, what expedition is complete without a Protectorate sighting? They get Incandesce again this time.

Oh speak of the (very hot) devil. 

"Gonna try for a photo op?"

"Could I get a picture of the two cutest girls together, then?"

"It's definitely possible."

"Will you?"

"Oh, very well."

"Yes!!" Fist pump! 

Time for pictures! 

"Oh, it's you! Hi! I see you've made a friend?"

"Hi! This is Ellie - she's been my local consultant. I'm paying her in baked goods and coffee."

"Sounds like a sweet gig."

"Though I take my coffee black."

Snrk. "Good one!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not sure if multiple openings are available..."

"And here was me hoping for some supplementary income."

"I could possibly find other positions..."

"I'll keep my ears open."

Heee.

"Anyways... I'd like to take a picture of the city's two prettiest girls together."

"Sure thing!"

Ellie steps up beside her and gamely bears with Incandesce throwing an arm across her shoulder.

Pictures!!

She's sure they'll turn out wonderfully.

How could they do anything but, given the subject matter?
