Emerald shakes Ruby, hoping to wake her up, but she lies there sleeping all the same. The colt gets a fleeting urge to kiss her like in all those fairy tales he has read, but now is not the time for such things… Is it?
 
Emerald turns back to the smoke cloud and yells out that he is okay and waiting on the stairs, but no one seems to answer. Emerald then turns and carefully creeps over to the top of the stairs. There is still no one there, but Emerald can see over to the doorway to the warehouse.
 
It appears someone is trying to shake the guard awake out there. A second later Emerald realizes it’s Dejen, and he is trying to slap the guard awake. He unbound the guard, but he seems far too high to be of any use.
 
Emerald wonders if he should go confront Dejen. On the other hoof the fighting downstairs isn’t done, and maybe he should assist in that. Emerald has an inkling that he may be able to wander among the gas with his shield spell. At least hopefully he will.
