Joyride looks to the colt questioningly, and he approaches and gives her a boop on the nose. Without a word, Joyride continues climbing down and approaches the derelict tower in the center.
Emerald hopes that this doesn't come back to bite him in the end. Literally, if it will have anything to do with wasp larvae.
Emerald goes back down a few moments after Joyride, and starts to approach the tower himself. As he does, he sees Lady Elegance sitting atop the trap door.
"Sorry little one. Joyride asked me not to let you through. She said you'd be leaving soon though. Maybe you could go pack things up?"
