Wriothesely's POV

 I looked up, following the familiar laughter to the source.

And there she was, Lady Furina sitting on a beam right above us.

"Hey, hey, Wriothesely. Who is this idiot?" She pointed towards the man.

I just shrugged my shoulders.

 "No idea whatsoever."

 "Really?"

 "Really."

 "He seems to have something against you though." 

 "Well, yes. That does seem to be the case. But... How come you're here, Lady Furina." 

 Hearing my question, the archon let out an annoyed sigh.

 "Look at this! Sedene gave me this a while ago!"

 She jumped down from the beam and pushed a piece of paper into my face.

 Please go find Wriothesely for me.

 Neuvillette.

 "He didn't even bother writing me a full letter! This is just a piece of the one he sent to Sedene!" She complained.

 Pfft!

 This is quite un-Neuvillette-like.

 "I would have expected him to send a long and detailed letter-"

 "He did! Just not to me! He sent one to Sedene! He even wrote one for the girls and the Phantom! But I got this!"

 As Lady Furina huffed and puffed around angrily, the mystery man finally seemed to regain his composure.

 Well...

 Somewhat.

 "La-Lady Furina. What- What are you doing here?"

 And oh, what a horrible plan it was to disturb the annoyed archon.

 "What I'm doing here? You are asking what I am doing here?!"

 Rest in peace, person whom I don't know.

 "I'm here to save this idiot so the other one doesn't destroy the nation!"

 Hey!

 Why am I randomly insulted again?

 "Do you even know what stupid thing you're doing?! Kill him your butt! If he didn't control himself, you would have long turned into nothing but a puddle of blood!"

 Puddle of blood?

 Is that what the conch does?

 I turned to Trow to ask, but she shook her head.

 "It's a long story. It might be better to ask Monsieur Neuvillette later."

 That I will do for sure.

 Just what kind of thing did he randomly throw at me before I left?

 At least attach a warning or something!

 By this point, everyone on our side had been calmed down by Lady Furina's presence.

 The other side, however...

 They looked like they didn't know where to run to escape the archon.

 "Lady Furina."

 "Yes?"

 "Could you perhaps..."

 I shook my cuffs at her and she immediately understood.

 "Oh, right."
