Regroup and Fortify (2)

Asia got down from Basil and then smiled at him. She ignored the noises in the background in favour of shamelessly ogling at him. Basil had half expected Asia to change after interacting with her descendants, the Pacifer, but she didn't. Vagus' influence was too strong for her to behave normally. Of course, there was still a chance that she had been a closeted pervert all this time.

"Do you still want to spend some more time outside?" Basil asked.

"I don't think so. It is quite taxing maintaining the Jade of Soul Memoir and I don't want to unnecessarily burden you." Asia shook her head. "I am going to return to your Inner World."

After she said that, Asia dissolved into particles, leaving a jade pendant behind. Basil regained the familiar presence in his mind as he caught the pendant from falling. Turning his attention to the remaining people, he hummed in contemplation as they looked at him expectantly. He honestly didn't know what to tell them to do.
