Die or Dash pt 2

The forest was dark, there was a thick fog.

Naomi shielded her face as a gust of wind burst through.

It didn't take her long to find a corpse. Well barely. she could recognize the tattered pieces of the uniform but her body was totally and completely mangled, arms and legs twisted into rungs and her head and arms were missing.

A week old Fei Lin.

What had done her in like this,?

Her food basket was missing...

Naomi dropped to her knees. An Npc wasn't a mere NPC to her.

"I'm sorry! I was naive!"

Her vision blurred with tears but she needed to stand. She needed to locate Mao Bu's body!

Jinyu furrowed her brows as she held out her arms, her cheeks blushing.

"Is this really necessary?"

She never pegged her as the type.

"Of course it is!" Pino dressed in a black dress with feathered sleeves and skirt hem frowned.

"Since we're going as unit we should all match! It's a must!"

"Warren..." Jinyu glanced in his direction, he was looking over documents but he was already dressed up in a black suit, His collar was made from feathers.

"She's not wrong..." He mumbled.

"But this dress..." she hated strapless dresses the most. She always felt they would slide off her body with her small chest, to make it worse this dress exposed her back, the only binding was an orange ribbon that tied her dress together. She had wanted to let Pino choose something since she and Warren had decided everything for her the other day but now she had regretted it.

Pino studied her. "You don't like? Then, let's change again." Pino snapped a finger and the clerks were already wheeling out the next family set of clothes.

It was strapless again.

"Something that's not strapless..." Warren spoke up, even though he had only glanced at her for a second.

Jinyu's eyes moistened.

As the clerks ushered her off the platform, a bead of fire materialized into the air, bubbling up into that of a butterfly.

"JNYUUUUUUUUUU!" Loud sobbing came out from the butterfly and the buttefly stretched out its wings revealing a reflection of a face Jinyu realized she hadn't seen in a while.

Her eyes widened at her friend's elegant appearance, her wild twin tails had been tied back into low twin braided buns, but her wailing state, her swollen pink eyes and snot dripping nose... ruined her refined appearance.

"Naomi?"

"MUHWAITAS ERRRRRR DEAAAAAAAAAAAD!"

Jinyu blinked a couple of times, her eyebrows slowly knitted together.

"Calm down, what happened exactly?"

"YUKNOW THE TABLE OOOH MAID FUH MEEEE? A WINNA GOT EEET..."

Jinyu nodded.

Pino in the background listened with the scrunched up face.

What the heck is she saying? And how does Jinyu understand her?
