"You sure about that? We don't know where this lead to anyway." Kel said, following leftward. Despite his own doubts he continued to follow behind Marx. Splitting up now would be a worse idea with them not knowing where it was they had gotten separated from them. It just didn't sit right with him at all. For a brief moment, it looked like they would have to go back and search for the others when he spotted the wooden puppet. Kel wasn't sure how to respond to Pinnochio's question and just decided to be straightforward. "No, not right now anyway. Your father sent us to find you, he wants you to come back."
Chrono was surprised to hear how casual Master Stamatis was being with what they had apparently been summoned for and with how both himself and his sister were needed for said meeting. Tinarah was a bit more understandable with the whole mirror realm ordeal she had to endure, but as for himself, he couldn't really think of a reason why he would really be needed. "There's always next time I guess." Not that he knew when this next time would be.
"Well you got us." Kel said. The mood had taken a downhill turn and this was his way to try and lighten it. "Right guys?" The silence that followed was outputting and was even more so shocking when he looked back and saw no one else behind them. "Uh Marx, where did everyone else go?"
Stepping foot into the other chamber Kel wasn't sure where Marx's was going when he had asked him about any other wielders, so the actual question had caught him off guard. He didn't respond right away as he needed to recount just how many people that have come and gone on this adventure. "I don't know, there have been times when someone who's vanished returned later and I don't think it'd be that easy to do so if they were lost to darkness." Considering what they had to do to get out of the realm of darkness, it was a safe assumption.
As they entered the next chamber, Marx's answered his question with a single world name. One that he did not recall ever hearing, which wasn't that much of a surprise to be perfectly honest."No reason, in particular, was just curious. Plus it also helps with passing the time." Walking further into the chamber, Kel took an immediate right and stopped there for the others to catch up. "Sure, let's go this way." Said very much on a whim with no real reason to say otherwise.
He wasn't expecting to hear that the cane he had made was as easy to do as a glider, something that he didn't really consider to be all that easy. It may have been easy now, but that had been mainly cause he's done it a few times. Ask him to turn his keyblade into a cane and he's got nothing but a confused look to give you. "When you put it like that, I'm curious as to what it'll become." Despite the fact that he wouldn't be around in a hundred years. Chrono had begun to drink some of his tea when Tinarah had made her offer as to where Master Stamatis could walk to and was kinda surprised to hear that she could play the piano, but at the same time it wasn't beyond the realm of belief given some of the stories he's heard from her regarding the other Stamatis. "Walking to the library is also an option or just around the castle to refamiliarize yourself with doing so." Spotting his sister's glance, those were the best that he could come up with given the rain and not really know anything about Master Stamatis. He did seem like someone that would be okay with going to the library.
Chrono admittedly had felt a bit more comfortable once Master Stamatis had said that his presence was welcomed. The actual confirmation may not have been needed, but it was helpful nonetheless. "Can all keyblades do that or is it something that just Masters can do?" He had been referring to cane he had made to assist his movement. If it was just another keyblade transformation, then he was curious as to how he could get it to take a form not blatantly made for combat like the ones currently at his disposal. "I've slept better than I usually do." Which was true for the most part. There wasn't a lot on his mind lately so he wasn't waking up in the middle of the night. He did, however, still wake up at least an hour before the sun actual rose, at which point he just stayed awake til it actually did.
As Chrono was about to respond to his sister, he noticed how Enzo just happened to be behind him which prompted him to instead ask, "How long have you been right there?". The follow-up question would've been 'why were you standing there so long' depending on the response, but the response made had made Chrono simple look at Enzo with a clear look of confusion as he proceeded to describe the beauty of outside when it was very clearly raining and cloudy. Unfortunately, Chrono had picked an odd and quite possibly concerning time to tune back into what Enzo was saying. "Excuse me, what!?" Now, normally Chrono wouldn't focus on things regarding his sister's love life as he saw it as 'things that their father would be the one dealing with in an ideal world' which kinda went down the drain when the age gap between himself and her got a lot smaller. This time was different as while he was certain Enzo was spouting nonsense, Tinarah's reaction helped confirm this, he didn't know how serious Enzo was about these so-called 'feelings'. He instinctively moved himself to further obstruct Tinarah after she had pushed past Enzo while the latter soon left to get food of his own. "I'm going to assume I can just ignore what he just said." It'd make him feel better and hurt his head less. He said not a word to this to Tinarah once he caught up to her and just waved to Master Stamatis upon being introduced followed by a "Good Morning." Chrono found himself a place to sit afterward, though he looked somewhat awkward doing so as he didn't want to accidentally mess up anything in the room.
The next area had been as straightforward as the as last one. Thankfully Marx's answered his question which provided a break from the monotonous pattern these chambers seemed to have. "Okay, do you remember what those worlds were like?" It seemed like a fair question, one that if asked to him he probably wouldn't remember quite everything from the worlds he's currently been to. 30/30
In the days that Chrono had spent training, he found himself pushing himself further and further to try and keep up with the new abilities he had learned. It had been more of a physical matter than a magical one, though his magic skills were something that was becoming actual helpful to him. The occasional training sessions from Atmos did help, as did Torrin's assistance though admittedly he was very confused by some of the transformations his keyblade was able to do and in some cases he had no idea how he would use them, but that was something that could be thought about later. His time had not been spent purely training though as there were times in which he interacted with his sister, Take and Aria (and trained with them as well, but that wasn't the point). The point was that he had actually taken time to interact with some of his other comrades. Now however he had chosen to tag along with Tinarah as she was bringing Master Stamatis breakfast. He didn't do much to help out with Stamatis's healing, but there were moments in which he did offer to help her help the recovering master, such as now. "The rain certainly isn't helping." Chrono had said with glance outside. The clouds completely covered the sky and the rain had just started to fall. It left a gloomy vibe overall that didn't sit well with him. "Hopefully it's just the weather and nothing else."

"Where have you been on your travels anyway?" Kel asked. Marx's did have experience sailing a boat which was helpful for them before they swallowed by a giant whale. The fact that that had happened to them in the first place still bothered Kel slightly, though not as much as the fact that they were currently looking through said whale stomach for some missing kids. So learning more about Marx would be a good distraction from all this until said kids were found. 29/30
"I don't actually." Chrono answered. The last he had seen of him was before they had gone into their respective simulations and he hasn't seen any sign of him since. There weren't that many places that he could think Take would be, the kitchen was one of them. Though that was the only cause of when he had first met it had been in the kitchen back at Atmos's castle. "I can help look for him though."
While it wasn't entirely his intentions to comfort her, he was glad to hear that she was fine. It didn't look like she was just saying that for his sake either as compared to how she seemed to be before they had gone through these simulations she was looking better. "That's good to hear." He said, followed by nodding to her offer. "Sure, I can always lend a hand if you need one." His own battle had gone well, but what was intended for four people ended up being a three-man battle and even then most of the fighting seemed to be spilt between himself and Aria. Then Kaio gave his response to Tinarah and so did she to him and Chrono, Chrono just stood there unsure of what to say and MoK didn't know what to have him say either so...
"Thanks."Zephyr placed the list into his back pocket and grabbed the perfume and brush. He examined them both briefly before handing the brush over to Gavin. "I'll spray it with some of the perfume then you brush it." So Zephyr entered the cage gently as to not freak out Fluffkins and started spriting it with the perfume. She was given a good 5 sprays around her entire body before Zephyr hopped out. Not before he had accidentally breathe in some of the perfume, causing him to cough. "Well, that's done." He said in between coughs. Flulffkins actually grimaced when the perfume was sprayed but took joy in seeing the blonde start coughing as a result of his actions. Then looking to Shawn and how he had lowered his head to her, only one thing came to mind. Leaning forward and one bite was taken out of Shawn's head. Fortunately she didn't snag a lot of hair with that bite, but still, it had to hurt while Fluffkins casually chewed on it. In that span of time, Zephyr had looked away to check the instructions once more, having only glanced upward to see that Fluffkins was currently biting Shawn's head. "Hey. Hey! Let him go." The teen had resorted to waving his hand in front of the alpaca in an attempt to get her to let Shawn go.
The only response that Chrono could muster was an annoyed 'tch' as Master Kaios went off to lecture the other groups. Even if he did have a point, the man sure knew how to get under his skin with the way he talked. Even if he had a point, it was by no means presented in a way that was bearable to hear. Still, Kaios did still have a point and it was one he wouldn't ignore. According to Thalassa using my drive more will help me get used to it, but what else can I do? That had been the root of his frustrations right now. Originally he had been poised to leave the room and find someplace else to be for the moment, either going to the library or just getting some fresh air outside, but as he was doing so Tinarah had finished up with hers. Despite not actually seeing how well she had done, he could infer that she had at least lasted a while considering that she was one of the last ones who finished. He would've assumed she won, but Kaios word had implied otherwise. Before actually leaving, he decided that he should at least try to say something to her. "If its any consolation, you lasted in there longer than most of the others."

With it being agreed upon that they would stick together, had arrived in the next with no trouble. This one is very reminiscence of the first one they had entered as there was only one direction that they could go in, which was good for keeping them from getting lost. So he continued to venture towards the exit to the next one, stopping before he actually walked through it though. "Ya know, I didn't think everything would be so...similar when we left to go look for Sora, Riku, and Pinnochio." 28/30
Marx's wanted to spilt up while Kaida preferred to stick together for the time being. Kaida did have a point, plus they had Kairi along with them who to they're knowledge she didn't have any means of defending herself. "Kaida's right, we are technically still inside of a whale and that's not someplace I'd rather get lost if I can help it." This was still a whale, right? Even after saying that and looking around at the chamber, Kel still wasn't all that sure about that fact. 27/30
Kel merely gave AJ a nod as well as a thumbs up as they step foot into the second chamber. Before address the actual paths that they had, he thought about what AJ had said. "Well if no time had passed then it'd be easier to explain my sudden disappearance. Otherwise, I'll need to come up with something." Fortunately, this wouldn't be an issue anytime soon, so he had time. As for the more pressing matter right now, there was actually two paths for them to take. "Do we go left, right or spilt up for now?" 26/30
