Another thing that'd been on his mind these past few days was, "where the f.u.c.k is Solaire?"... If he'd taken the horses he should have been back by now.

Reah "Your holiness, I was thinking that a statue dedicated to you and Sir Solaire's greatness would benefit the settlement!"

... Even when he wasn't helping with construction, designing his rune cl.u.s.ter, giving permissions or talking about methods of dealing with the others kingdoms with his "Advisors", there was always Reah bickering to him about various "Holy" things...

Reima "How would a statue benefit us?" he asks with a sigh.

Reah "I believe everyone would work and train harder if we could gaze upon your face whenever we looked up!"

Reima gets a cold sweat, "How big do you want to make this statue?"

Reah smiles, "Fifteen stories high!-"

Reima "h.e.l.l f.u.c.king no! That'd be bigger than two of my libraries stack ontop of each other! Why the f.u.c.k would we need something like that!" he exclaims when he hears her answer.

Reah "But your holiness, we need people to know about our great, powerful, and infallible leader!"

...

Reima stores all the rune cl.u.s.ters he was designing into his Fold s.p.a.ce before flipping the table and walking out.

Reah looks on in confusion as he leaves, quickly following him after regaining her composure. "My lord! Wait for me!"

She runs outside and finds Reima drawing on the ground with a white soapstone, once he's done it glows and Solaire appears with a smile on his face before them. "My friend! Are you still busy?"

Reima "Busy? No! Where are you! I need you to keep Reah occup-busy-... Happy!"

Solaire rubs the back of his head, "Well, my rescue of Arie went excellently... Actually, it might have gone too excellently as I'm currently heading to Kaer Morhen with sixty people who wish to join the settlement..."

A vein appears on Reima's forehead when he hears this, "... Sorry, I must've misheard you. I could have sworn you just said that you've got another sixty people with you, hahaha..."

...

Solaire "No, you are correct my friend! I've got sixty jolly men, women, and children who wish to join our glorious settlement!"

...

Reima doesn't say anything, instead, bending down at the white summoning sign and pus.h.i.+ng Elder Blood Energy into it, eventually managing to target Solaire relative position... Reah and Solaire watch as Reima plunges his hands into the air, a spatial rift forming and opening to reveal the group of sixty people the Sun G.o.d was just talking about.

Arie "Reima? About time you opened one of those d.a.m.n portals! We've been walking for day-Wait, you need to calm down." he says as Reima destroys the soapstone summoning of Solaire with a furious expression, which has the real one re-materialise before them.

Reima steps through the portal leaving Reah alone and approaches Solaire.

Solaire "My friend! You've come to retrie-"

*BOOM!*

Reima punches Solaire in the face, causing a sonic boom as the Sun G.o.d is launched through the tree's behind him with an incredible force, Solaire tumbles through them like a cannonball before eventually landing after many innocent trees are destroyed.

Arie sweatdrops at this and the group of refugees all scream at their saviour getting blown out of sight with a single punch by this teleporting intruder.

Solaire crawls out of the pile of halved timber and rubs his neck as he walks back to them, "My friend, that was hardly a jolly handshake!"

Reima "Do you know how f.u.c.king long it's going to take to build houses for these people? Who's going to take care of those kids!?! Do you even know if they are trustworthy?"

Solaire crosses his arms and nods, "Indeed I do, I personally rescued them and we've had a jolly time walking Kaer Morhen."

Reima "What happened to the horses the others lent to you!?!" he exclaims, knowing full well that Roach was rather important to Geralt.

Solaire scratches his chin, "Well, our escape required my destroying one of Ard Carraigh's walls and going through that... There wasn't much time to collect our horses."

Reima shakes his head, "You know what? f.u.c.k it." he says as he turns around and opens a portal to the settlement.

Solaire "Are you okay my friend?" he asks, though he doesn't get a reply.

Arie leads the sixty wary people through the portal where a large group of Prospects and Chaos Servants were waiting, Quelaag, Talem, Kalini, Kuretz and Risryn were all there as well.

The last of them step through and Reima closes the portal after Solaire steps inside.

Kuretz "So we've got some new arrivals? Maybe they can do some of the building and give the rest of us a break."

Kalini "I don't know, most of these people look like they need rest. Look, they've got children with them."

Quelaag steps forwards, "Reima, Solaire? Who are these people?"

Reima pushes Solaire in-front, "Solaire's in charge of this. I'm going on vacation." he says and teleports away.

...

Talem "Going on vacation?"

Quelaag "It seems that Reima wants a break..."

Solaire pats his chest, "Don't worry everyone, as the person temporarily in charge I will make sure we all have an effective time fo it. Are you ready for some Jolly Cooperation!?!"

"Yeaaaah!!" The refugees shout.

"JOLLY!" the Prospects and Chaos Servants shout.

Quelaag "Hopefully Solaire doesn't destroy everything we've built thus far..." she mutters.

Reah runs onto the scene and cheers, "His holiness has returned with lost lambs! We must teach them our ways!"

Quelaag sighs, "Or Reah."
