[There's something inherently comical about a huge-ass bear trailing after a teeny tiny vampire, but there's no one around to witness them.

She follows him easily enough, in that she only has to take a single stride in proportion to several of his steps. It's like an escort mission, but with the speeds reversed, although if he wanted, he could out-speed her easily.

The Cube comes into view as he explains, and she trusts him and his judgment!!!

But she has to ask:]

I know you waited to see if there were any side effects, but I do wonder. You're not feeling any mysterious fondness for Elias, are you?

[He said he was being careful, but she assumes the worst of Elias and his tactics. Underhanded little bastard.]

If I were to ask for proof, I'd request a handy insult on his behalf.
