Chapter Text
Pomni sat on her bed as Ragatha wrapped her arms around her. Jax paced the room, his hand on his forehead. Pomni saw this and groaned,
"Jax stop!"
Jax looked down at her and stopped.
"Sorry..."
Ragatha took a deep breath and placed her hand on Pomni's shoulder."
Okay Pomni, you're gonna be fine.. everything is gonna be fine. We won't let you abstract."
Pomni wanted to belive it. She wanted to but after what happened to Koufmo she just couldn't. She spoke with sarcasm,"
Yeahhh Like how you protected Koufmo-"
Ragatha looked at Pomni, a frown on her face. Jax looked at Pomni in disbelief, crossing his arms.
"Look kid, we're just trying to help."
Pomni sighed,"I know. Sorry..."
Ragatha nods,"You'll be okay.. Me and Jax need to head out, wanna join us?"
Did she? Pomni wanted to but she couldn't bear to see the look on everyone's face. She didn't wanna face Ezra either.
"No thanks, I'm good"
Ragatha smiles and takes hold on Jax's hand. Pomni took notice of the light blush on Jax's cheeks as she did so.

Ragatha and Jax walked out to everyone else and got stares. Ragatha was used to it but Jax still got overwhelmed by it. He didn't like everyone staring at him like it was his fault. Caine explained the adventure and sent everyone off to do so. He was running out of ideas so he repeated the Gloink idea. Zooble hated this. They retreated to their room almost immediately. Gangle frowned, even with her Comedy mask, as she watched Zooble walk away. Kinger took notice of Gangle's frown and walked over to her.
"Hey... you feeling alright?"
She frowned and sighed,"No.."
Kinger gave her back a few Pats and Gangle forced a smile. Jax smirked as he walked over to her."
Heyy crybaby!"
Kinger gave Jax some sort of side eye but he ignored it.
"Why you cryin' now, hmm?"
Gangle looked away and wrapped her ribbons around herself. Jax got annoyed by her not answering him and snatched her Comedy mask right off her face.Gangle let out a shocked gasp and tried to reach for it.
"Jax stop..!!"
Jax only smirked and teased. Kinger didn't know how to stop this but he tried
,"Jax give her her mask back..!"
Jax didn't let up. He proceeded to hold her mask above reach. Kinger stared in disbelief and Ragatha took notice of this.
"Jax, leave her alone!"Jax chuckled,
"Come on dollface~ she needs to lighten up.!"
Ragatha groaned, "Give it back. Now."He chuckled, "Or what?"
She walked up to him and whispered into his ear. Gangle took notice of Jax's fur standing on end and snorted. Jax flushed a bright red and handed Gangle her mask back with an annoyed groan. Gangle and Kinger glanced at each other, confused.

Pomni sat in bed, staring at the roof. She tried to handle the pain but she just couldn't. She tried to steady her breathing but struggled. Suddenly, a knock could be heard at her door. She reluctantly stood up and dragged herself to the door, opening it. At the door stood Ezra. Pomni jumped back a bit,
"WHO ARE YOU..!?"
Ezra groaned loudly and rolled his eyes.
"Don't yell at meeee..!"
Pomni flinched,
"S-Sorry... but who are you?"
Ezra rubbed his chin, "Hmm who am i?"
Pomni seemed confused and backed up a bit. Ezra took notice of this and let out an annoyed groan.
"I'm not gonna hurt ya, I'm Ezra."
Pomni looked more curious.
"Oh.. I'm Pomni.."
Ezra smiled but quickly returned to his frown.
"Anyways, I did what Ragatha asked- now I'm gonna go.."
Ezra suddenly turned around and walked away down the hall. Pomni blinked a couple times and sighed. She felt better so she went out to see the cast. She hid in her corner and took a huge deep breathe. She shakes off any fear she has and walks towards everyone. They turned and looked at her, greeting her with smiles,
"Pomni!"
