Kanji squinted. There was an exchange not happening here.

"Somethin' don't add up." He got up and headed for the group, and lowered his voice.

"The kids never go home before Bahamut fucks everything. She would've guided them out or called off the faeries or the weird forest voodoo."

He paused. They needed the help of the eidolons, but they'd gotten an eyeful and an afternoon of faeries messing with them. What would make Titania any different?

Having dealt with cranky children in the past, Marinette really had no desire to repeat the experience here. Especially not under these circumstances. So she just nodded at Titania's words.

Naoto seemed to be handling Titania well enough, and the latter seemed content enough to listen so there was no point in worrying.

At least until Kanji came over and spoke up. He was right, of course.

"That's why we're here, isn't it? We need to bring them home before things happen."

Obviously it wasn't going to be that simple, but she was willing to try as many times as it took to make it work.

Titania sighs. She begins to glow as she speaks again.

A child’s pure heart I count as most dear,
Of this ye should be without doubt.
Is it any wonder I kept them near,
When The Dragon lurks without?
Yet I shall not deny thee thine request,
If my bower’s refuge thou doth spurn.
Though they leave ‘gainst the fairies’ behest,
Who from mortals came, to mortals needs return.
With thee goes my aid, Titania’s Gift,
With hopes the coming tides shall shift.

With that, Titania and the band of fairies disappear in a flash of shimmering light. The tree branches surrounding the fountain sway and part, revealing the children slumbering on beds of soft moss. They awaken, and appear entirely unharmed. The party can now exit the forest with the lost children. A small fairy will appear again to guide them down the quickest path.

Naoto listened and bowed her thanks shortly after Titania and the other fairies disappeared. It made sense what her intentions were from the poems - she thinks she recalls hearing that it tended to work that way in fairytales after all. With the children awake, she would help them up and turn to the others.

"Well then, are we ready to head back?"

[topgun_textiles]

He nodded. "Yeah. I think I pissed her off, but their parents are gonna find out they went missing and families need to be together even more now than ever."

If needed, he'll be a mule to carry the kiddos. But first he would see if they needed the help. If not, he'll oversee the group's path back home overall.

There's a moment or two of blinking from Ren. It seemed the fairies in this forest weren't the best at being direct, but her tune got the point across. Satisfied that the mission seemed to be a success at least, he approached the sleeping children, ready to offer one a piggy back to the closest one should they so desire.

"I wouldn't worry about it," there's a smile for you, Kanji. Even if she wasn't pleased at the end, sometimes you had to rustle a few feathers to get the results you wanted, right?

"Nice work, everyone." At least they wouldn't have to worry about their flesh being munched on on the way back. Probably.

With Titania and her fairies gone and the children awake, it seemed like their little adventure was a success. So with a smile, she made her way over to where the children were waiting to make sure they were alright.

"Yea, we did what we came here to do." And they're all in one piece, so that was definitely enough to consider it a win. "I'm ready if everyone else is."
