Wonder was the first one to leave after questioning Fiona so much. She had to admit that the tall girl was quite attractive but that was far from the list of important things on Wonder’s mind at the moment. She had another goal but trying to find out more about it was going to be challenging.

Going out into the main entrance way Wonder chanced across the very person she was looking for. Lamont was walking, or limping rather, towards the staircase. There was a bit of a down look on his face as he approached the stairs and let out a sigh.

Wonder pulled up beside him. “Lamont!”

Lamont smiled down at her. “Why isn’t it our little Wonder. I don’t think I’ve seen you all morning. How are you doing?”

Wonder pouted her lower lip. “Well I was doing just fine until you called me little.”

He laughed. “Oh? My apologies oh Impossible Wonder.”

“That’s better!” Wonder huffed. She glanced toward the front door which had been closed but still needed repairs as it stood looking a little crooked. “I was wondering if it would be okay for us to go to town today?”

Lamont raised an eyebrow. “Us?”

Wonder scowled. “Not you and me, obviously. Ugh even if you were a girl, still gross. I meant me, Lapis, and Rita. Just us girls.”

Lamont scratched at his scruffy chin. “Hmmm it’s a little risky thanks to the possibility of being attacked again, but even if we were attacked so shortly we’d be more or less sitting ducks until reinforcements come. Queen Solaria herself will be arriving soon, she’s concluded her business down in New Haven and should be on the long journey home.”

Wonder groaned. “I just want to have some girl time. Buy some new clothes. Talk to some cute girls. Maybe force my mentor to set up our next training session on a solid date.”

Lamont laughed again. “Well if you three want to go then I won’t stop you. I don’t know if Rita will want to though, she’s likely busy working on some project.”

A devilish grin spread over Wonder’s lips. “Oh I think I can find a way to convince her to join us.”
