I mean seriously, she had possibly risked a lot to even follow this crazy snake-lizard thing around and suddenly, he just says 'Wait here' and leaves her alone? That's not how you treat an ally in combat.
The woman huffed a little, looking somewhat like a girl who had gone along with her chores and didn't get the expected allowance. Sitex or whatever had just acted like he didn't need her. Which meant that yes, the alliance was a trick of some sort, either because the stupid lizard thing wanted to keep her close for an easy kill or because he pitied her. Oh my, cloth? What a wimpy power, poor thing. How can she even live with herself without having stupid black laser things and incredible animalistic strength. Boo hoo.
Eureka watched Syvex fight the sand guy. She watched firefly girl go off somewhere else. She decided that this was stupid and that she felt uncomfortable just standing around in the open, practically screaming for someone else to come along and snipe her or something.
The clothesmage often thought herself to be at least trustworthy. Everybody else, of course, were idiots, but she kept promises. Of course, in a world dominated by liars, the liars would become paranoid about other liars lying about lying so nobody trusted her to keep government secrets or to not turn them over to the police. And because everybody else was so paranoid, she always ended up getting attacked or something even though she hadn't even done anything but that isn't the point. The point is, Eureka kept promises. Even if they were to stupid giant black faceless lizard things.
Buuuuut, if he didn't need her, then she didn't need to stick around. Obviously, he was doing fine without her. Didn't need his back scratched. And if that was the case, she could just leave. They could meet up again later. In fact, she was sure they would. And if he happened to get into trouble while she was away, then it wasn't her fault. Sorry I wasn't there for you, things happen, bet you wished you had me then, didn't you?
And she would be fine by herself because she was smart and cunning and had her own awesome powers to get her out of fights unlike some lizards.
Her mind made up, Eureka just turned around and left. She wasn't just going to stick around and feel sorry for herself. That was stupid.
She hung close around to the alleys, crept past some house that had voices coming out of it, and kicked open the door of the building next to that. The building had been helpfully labeled 'BAR.' Usually, bars were stupid and noisy and loud but considering that most everybody was dead it should be empty and it would be a good place to hide out and wait for this silly thing to end and also have something to drink.
There was one more person than expected inside. It was another thing Eureka had never seen before. Such things seemed to have been cropping up lately.
This particular thing at first glance looked like another monster. But as she got ready to defend herself, she couldn't help but notice that it was standing behind the counter.
And wearing clothes.
And cleaning one of the glasses.
Eureka's scarf lowered again and she approached the...bartender warily. Who would hire a...goat...mummy...thing as a bartender? Someone insane, possibly.
"Hello," the goat-bartender said politely, still cleaning that same glass. Somehow she was sure he was doing that just to look busy.
"Hi," she replied, still standing. She wasn't about to get caught unawares sitting down. Not that she was going to be caught unawares standing up, just that it was easier to fight standing up than sitting down, or at least that's what she believed.
The bartender continued boring a hole through the glass. "Want a drink?"
"You do realize that people are dying all over the place right outside and there are monsters and there's this stupid battle to the death going on, don't you?"
"Mm," the bartender replied, apparently not really caring what happened outside the bar. For some reason, that bothered her. "Sounds like you need a drink."
Eureka sighed, coming across as rather cross. "Alright. But nothing alcoholic, got it? And if you do something funny with the drink, I'll cut off your head."
