It was uncertain how much time had passed when he looked back up. Something about him seemed... different. He no longer looked sad, a flame of pure anger filling his eyes.
Stampy was leaning up against the wall trying to rest when he noticed him move. "Quentin?"
Quentin stood up. "Where's Jason? We need to get out of here. Now."
"I don't know. He was dragged off by her earlier and its been who knows how long since then."
"She could already be experimenting on him by now."
"I don't know... She seemed really fond of him..."
"But if he talks back to her like I did..."
"... well... he has something you didn't... her daughter sorta kinda... loves him??" Stampy tried to explain.
"Daughter?! There's a whole royal family?!" Quentin looked shocked.
"Uh yeah... Um... Stella turned out to be the daughter..."
"See?! I told you she was bad news!" His voice rose and he placed his hands on his hips. "That whole AI thing was just an act!"
Stampy sighed. "I'm.... Still unsure what to think of her... Jason really upset her..."
"Exactly! And now he's gonna pay for it! I doubt she even likes him."
"I don't know..." Stampy seemed hesitant.
Elio watched the two of them, quietly.
"They're monsters, Stampy!" Quentin yelled. "They don't feel love!"
"You don't know that Kippy! Stella helped us and cared about Jason!" Stampy countered.
"What if it was a rouse? A plot to get him stuck in here!"
"I don't know, okay! But we shouldn't assume the worst!"
"The worst is that he's dead! But I doubt that."
"Look, if we are going to go looking for him, we best be going." Elio interrupted.
Quentin looked over at Elio. "I- Sorry... I got carried away. Let's go."
Stampy stood and nodded.
Elio headed over to the door.
Quentin opened the door and looked out, the hallway completely empty.
They quickly headed off again.
