"They might just be blending in with the surroundings, remember how Nixxy was able to sneak around the bathhouse?" Casey says, eyeing every alleyway and window. "We might be getting tailed..."
Kol does another sweep with his enhanced vision and frowns, "Still nothing, but I'll keep looking. They may not know that we're back yet."
"I wonder: is that's why Argus let us go early? He figured something like this might happen and wanted to give us a head start?"
“We better keep moving, then. We’re nearly home.” Casey replies. The pair hurry through the streets, hoping the fiery display is enough to keep everyone distracted while they slip through the crowd.
Before long, they arrive back at their house. They survey the outside from a distance and, having not seen anything suspicious, they approach.
"Let's check before we go in: this isn't an illusion or a trap, right?" Casey says, holding up a hand. "We're not experiencing any missing memories or time? What was the route we took home?"
"Uhh, down Winston ave, Through Fane Square, up the stairs to Burroughs way, took a right on Clannery and left on Birdbridge." Kol rattles off as he mentally backtracks.
Casey nods. "That sounds right to me. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, yet."
The mice approach the front door, finding the mail-box cluttered with an odd collection of objects: several glittery cards, a few scrolls, a long sliver of crystal and a handful of tiny origami figures.
