Celica Departs

"Milady, this graveyard we're passing through… Er, why are we, again?" said Boey. Celica and her party's path to the port of Novis led through many twists and turns, including this graveyard. Boey had opposed this route, endlessly reminding the party of the 'talk of terrors' within the graveyards.
"Oh Boey." said Mae, "How can you be so scared of spooks and spirits at your age?"
"Shove off, would you. A guy can't help what frightens him!"
Celica chuckled at this. Although Boey is tough, and a loyal friend, he's always been frightful of foolish things. The thought suddenly turned somber to her, and she paused in her trail for a moment.
"Milady, not you too!"
"Sorry, it's nothing. Well, I... Boey, you just remind me of my brother sometimes."
"I didn't know you have a brother," said Mae.
"Had..."
"Great, Boey, your whimpering has made Celica sad!" Mae said, "Maybe you need a punishment." The group chuckled once more. Mae's badgering of Boey tired him out, but the rest of the group had grown to find their bickering humorous.
"And I hurt my ankle on a rock just a bit back," Celica stated, "but it's fine. Really, I'm alright."
"Celica, you poor thing! Boey - how about you carry Celica?" Mae said, "Since you're always talking about how amazing she is." Boey looked away, hiding a bit of blush at the thought of it.
"That's unnecessary, Mae," said Celica, "Boey didn't mean it."
"Guys… do you hear that?" said Genny. She looked off into the distance, and the group's attention swung to the graveyard, where Terrors were visible.
"Let's do this!"
