Something in the back of my mind told me I should try talking to Leetzan and find out what was wrong. I didn't, of course, because that would be gay.
"Sketch out these new shapes," I told Fawriel. He silently obeyed, though while he was sketching he kept looking up at Leetzan. I couldn't quite read his expression, but he wasn't looking at her in the same way as usual. That said, I was eager to move on and hopefully leave all this emotional crap behind.
I commanded the party to travel Northward with me, and after passing by the abandoned campsite room once more we arrived in another icey, dome-shaped, glowy-floored room. Not surprisingy, there were gems in here as well: one shaped like a needle, and the other shaped like a pyramid.
"Am I to assume you want me to sketch these, too?" Fawriel inquired, with the slightest hint of bitterness in his voice.
"You know what they say about when you assume, Faw," I replied sharply. He scowled, then quickly sketched the two new shapes and slammed his sketchbook shut.
"By the might of FOO!" Fooruman declared, dramatically raising his arms and looking to the sky. "We have indeed given this dungeon the equivalent of a full rectal exam!"
The group was silent.
"And," he added, "in much the same manner, we have found fatty foods and oddly-shaped objects of questionable origin."
The silence lingered on.
"Maybe the rooms with glowing floors are connected somehow?" Leetzan suggested.
Uberbob's ears perked up, he smiled, then said, "It's been so long since she said something smart, I was starting to forget why we let her come with us."
He smiled cheerfully at Leezan. The smile was not returned.
I decided to take this opportunity to examine my party members. My party consisted of me, Araches, Fawriel, Leetzan, Fooruman, and, unfortunately, Uberbob. Araches was staring at me with a wide grin, Fawriel was examining his fingernails for some reason, Leetzan was being PMSy, Fooruman was performing a donut in his canoe, and Uberbob was still trying to dig whatever was in his stub of an ear out. I was doing my best not to kill them all.
