He looks grim as he continues, " I can't say why they would be connected but it seems like a strange coincidence that these events would lead to the same place." Terry groans, " Uhhhgg...Next your gonna say my 'family emergency' is connected." Leal's eyes widen in concern, " Um, do you know what it's about?" Terry continues nonchalant, "No, just that I gotta get up there as soon as I can." Leal and Casey look at each other very skeptically and both let out a, "hmmm..." Terry stops them though, "Oh what's with those looks? Come on guys I'm just joking!" She grins, "My family is really big so they could be up to anything. If it was actually important momma woulda specified. Whether your guys's problems are connected or not, whatever is going on at the palace sounds like a bigger deal so don't worry, I'll stick around to help you both out." She puts her fist over her heart, basically glowing with heroic energy.
