"Ooohh...hown..." Lina moaned miserably while flopping back in her chair dejectedly. "Someone actually went and did it." "The only reason that they'd request for me to come alone HAS to be for security reasons." the sorceress said to herself with an agitated rustle of her crimson mane.
"I'm all for breaking records and altering the path of history, but did they have to go and do it in my hometown?"
"And what am I gonna do with Gourry? Lina thought.
I can't just... tell him to wait for me here. I have no idea how long I'll be gone, or even what it is exactly that they want me to do... The message was pretty vague. The redhead pondered as she studied the magical communication device absently.
"That jellyfish brain would wander off for sure, and it'd take forever to find him again." the Lina blurted audibly.
"Let's see... Seyruun boarders Zephilia..."
But if I try and drop off Gourry there, Amelia will start asking all kinds of question and try and get involved." she countered.
"Sometimes there's just no stopping the girl." Lina said quietly with obvious affection for the priestess.
"Maybe Sairaag...Its way out of the way, but I'm sure Sylphiel could use an extra hand there."
She's really got her hands full leading the project to repair all of the damage that was caused by first Copy Rezo and then Phibrizzo during those two huge battles... Besides, Gourry loves manual labor anyway... and maybe while he's there he'll catch a clue about how Sylphiel feels about him... As much as she's been through it'll be nice to see her happy for once, and she's always happy when Gourry's around.
That'll keep Gourry occupied and in one place so I don't have to go and find him after I've dealt with this. The redhead thought to herself.
"Yeah that'll work!" she exclaimed, casting a modified version of the Fireball spell to destroy the magical device as requested. With that, Lina headed out of her inn room to meet Gourry for dinner.
