Chapter 6: First Encounter
It had take a couple hours after Stanley's party had left, before Jonas and Kim decided that it was time for them to leave. Which was really still too long in Elmo's opinion, but he didn't care to voice it, partly because he stll was afraid of Kim and partly because he wasn't sure he'd be able to say anything coherent when Jonas would challenge it.
Elin seemed fine with whichever decision, so she was just as cheerful as when she first came out of the room she arrived in wherever this was. Though, she certainly was much more comfortable wearing the clothing that Elmo had brought over.

Elmo decided not to comment, since he really didn't want her to take her anger and frustrations out on him. Though Jonas merely suggested that Kim ask her tutorial for insights as to what the armor thing was about. Not that the tutorial was of any help about that.
"Well, lets just move on, since its not going to change any time soon," Kim commented when the two hour mark of their wait arrived.
"Maybe if we find some other armor in the dungeon it won't turn into this when you put it on," Elmo suggested.
Kim glanced at him, making him shrink back, nervous that she'd lash out at him for that remark.
"Maybe, but I have my doubts about this place," Kim replied curtly. "Regardless, let's head out.
