H-hey so, the temple is empty!

[He glances back over his shoulder like he might be able to see the temple through the portal if he tries]

...Or it was a few minutes ago anyway, but I think this is the best chance we're going to get. We can end this corruption if someone else with a full set of stones comes with me to the altar.

And uh, maybe a few other people just in case? It's a little wild over there right now.

[Lisa's reply is... quick but not as quick as it usually is? The reason is made evident when the video kicks on; she's wearing not only a different outfit than she was when he picked her up this morning, but it looks like a comfortable T-shirt and shorts, with a towel wrapped around her hair, and no makeup. In exchange, she looks healthier all around - her eyes are still a little bloodshot but definitely not as bad as they were, and the veins are largely faded, though you can still see them. Not much to be done for the bruises, unfortunately, but it's a start? As she talks, she's not sitting still, apparently rushing to get ready - it might be a tiny bit hard to hear her as she scurries, but as she moves away she lets her tone pick up.]

Give me fifteen minutes, I'll be there. I've got a full set of stones and change and I've had enough of all this. Besides, sword or not, do you really think I'd let you do this without at least someone to watch your back? [Her tone's playful, but she looks like she's not going to take please stay home for an answer.]

[Elliott laughs, then grins]

Yeah, fair. It's just for show, really. I mean I can use it, but I don't want to actually stab people, you know? Anyway, I'll wait for you.
