The rest of the evening went as well as most evenings. Triton told jokes. Ohto and Aitohtoh had a Tiki dart contest, approved by Aayra since the targets were not people. Grenden and Isan asked to see the new dungeon, saying they were old enough to help, which, naturally, prompted Ohto to ask as well. After lots of begging, Triton promised to take them tomorrow.

And still . . . no Bailey.

After their evening activities, everyone piled into the younger boys’ room to listen to Triton’s new story about the great great great—corrected by Aitohtoh—Tiki city. Then Marcel took the spotlight with Aitohtoh to talk about a crazy boat ride roller coaster challenge.

Once all the stories had been told and the kids were making their way to their beds, Entin received a message from Aymie. The waiting was finally over. It was time to get some answers.

“But I don’t want to go to sleep,” Ohto said, lying in bed next to Aitohtoh, who looked quite happy for a kidnapped pet.

“If you don’t,” Entin said, “you won’t be able to go to the dungeon with Triton tomorrow. Dungeon Runners need their sleep. Stamina is important.”

The kid blew a raspberry. “Okay. But Tohtoh stays with me.”

The pet saluted. “I’m great great Tiki defender of little humans. And . . . master no want me in her bed. But I get scritches here, yes yes!”

Ohto giggled and scratched under Aitohtoh’s chin, making the pet purr.

Entin shouldn’t be surprised, but the idea of using dungeon monsters as babysitters never really occurred to him.

He quickly made his rounds to wish all the kids sweet dreams, then slipped away before anyone could ask where he was going.

He descended the stairs to a dark living room, crossed to the guild’s shop, and left through the front door, nearly colliding with some young woman in a dress.

“Oh, sorry,” he said, “I didn’t see— Bailey?”

Her hair was different. Long. It was braided with a thin pink scarf. And she . . . wore a matching dress? It revealed her collarbones, the sleeves short, the waist tight, and the bottom turned to dozens of strips that fell lightly around her legs.

Beneath makeup he had never seen her wear, she blushed, her blue eyes seemingly larger with the help of darker eyelashes.

He must have stared for too long because she slugged him, proving that this was definitely Bailey and not some imposter wearing her skin, which, in this world, could happen.

“What happened?” he asked.

She deflated a little. “That’s all ya gotta say?”

“Y-you look . . .”

“Are ya gonna finish that thought?”

“. . . good, great. I’m sorry, you just surprised me. You look very pretty. But why are you dressed up like that?”

Her lips twitched up from the praise, then her forehead creased. “Where ya goin’? Wasn’t expectin’ to see ya until tomorrow. Ya ruined my surprise.”

“That wasn’t my intent. Why didn’t you reply to my message? I’ve been worried about you.”

“Oh, were ya goin’ out to find me?”

He grimaced. “Not exactly. .
