*Mei led Tein and Amba through Shellwood and to the Blasted Steps. They stopped at a large boulder in the long hallway of a cave that lead out of Pharloom.*

"Tein can you move the boulder?" *Mei asked their Sibling, looking up at them.*

"One would, though one has become too old to do so. ... One is sorry, Mei." *Tein replied.*

*Mei frowned* "Awh....." *They looked to Amba.* "Do you think you could move it?"

*Both Mei and Tein stayed in their own cave for a bit, reuniting and snuggling together. Eventually, Mei had fallen asleep. Tein, still being awake, picked up Mei and began to look for Midwife.*

"...Miss.. Eztyra, that... that was your name, correct?" *They calmed out as they began to walk, keeping an arm out so they wouldn't hit a wall. They felt more blind than usual not knowing the layout of these caves.*

They hit a wall, except it wasn't really a wall. It moved out of the way when Tein touched it. Midwife glances over them. She felt ill, like just burrowing into her nest. She wouldn't mind if Triss joined her, but there was some apprehension with the children. It was weird, and it made her a little irritative. Maybe she was sick? No matter. This one wanted to talk.

"Yes honey? Tein, what do you want?" she asks as pleasantly as she could. She places her mask in front, so Tein wouldn't have to figure out where she is. They'd just hear her in front of them.

*Mei and Tein led Amba out of Karn’s Weavenest and out into the Wormways via the lower entrance/exit of the Weavenest. Mei had shifted back to their normal form and had scampered ahead happily.*

”Mei, do not go far..” *Tein said, though Mei ignored their plea.*

*Mei eventually woke up from their long nap. They yawned and slid off of Midwife's back, crawling over to Tein. They positioned themself right in front of their face, staring at them before they nudged them with their snout.* "...sibling..." *They whispered, continuing to nudge them*

*Mei was snuggling with Tein like they usually did. That is, until they felt a sudden pain in their right eye and on their arm. They jolted up with a small gasp, their pupils flickering orange.*

*Once Mei was able to move again, they chased after “Phillip”, though they could not find “him”. They searched throughout the Weavenest but they couldn’t find anything.*

*They were determined to look further, but they did want to see their sibling again. ..It had been awhile since they last saw them.*

*They approached the Weavenest door, staring at it. …They could always look later.. right? …Yeah.*

*They opened the Weavenest door, making their way to Greymoor and looking around. They got similar results to when they looked for “Phillip”.*

*Maybe they were with Styx? They were friends with him right?*

*They walked up to Sinner’s Road. Hopefully they would be here.*

“Tein!” *They called out.* “SIBLING!!!”
