88 - Desperation Is Stupidity
They spent about an hour mingling with the crowd, dancing, and singing. Without them knowing who she actually was, it was easy for Aniya to have company.
Soon enough they had to retire from the fun and find food.
Eldrick volunteered to go and find them food, and with an excuse from Oana that she would have to go with Aniya to sort out some lady business, they parted ways.
The real reason for the excuse was so that Oana could take Aniya to the witch she thought could help her.
