Chapter 75: Mausoleum

In lieu of a verbal answer, Ye-in’s hand smacked against the back of his head. He might have dodged, but he hadn’t heard her move over the sound of Atticus facepalming.
“You’d have to be crazy to go. And you know we’re all just as insane as you, when it comes to stuff like this.” She added with a brilliant grin. “The real question is: who’s staying behind to watch the ship?”

The man shrugged. “I’ve always wanted to do that.”
Derek snorted. “Well played.”
It wasn’t an answer, though, so things fell silent once more until Mimi spoke up.
“I’ll stay. I’m stronger in here than out there, and I can counter any exotic nonsense they throw at the ship,” she said, voice small.
