Jonathan was finally relaxed, and trusted Marie to do the right thing. After all, why would such an innocent girl lie? He started to walk back to his own hut, but as he reached it he started to wonder if he shouldn't go with her to talk to Phillip. Sure, he didn't want Phillip to know, but if Marie wanted to tell him, he shouldn't stop her. He was fairly certain she would tell him about it sooner or later, and now he started to think that it might be better if he was there when she told him. After all, she was the second hand source, she couldn't answer all the questions he might have. Wasn't it better if Jonathan himself was there to explain how such a lie and misunderstanding could have occurred?
With those thoughts he rushed around, trying to find Marie. He weren't sure if the girl had decided to tell Phillip immediately or if she would wait a few days, either way he needed to tell her that he wanted to be there when she did, if she did. But finding her was far from easy. When he spoke to people, they told him that she had been running around just like him, seemingly searching after someone. That probably meant that she had decided to find Phillip immediately.
Eventually he spotted her just as she went into a very strange direction, out of view from the rest of the city. Jonathan stopped himself from screaming out to get her attention. Why would she got to a place no one lived? Who would ever go there? As the teen became slightly suspicious he started to stalk after her, using all the skills he had to hide in the shadows. Marie stopped at a stone wall, and Jonathan could vaguely see how she did a complicated hand movement before a secret door opened. Why did they have a secret door there? He first sneaked towards the door, but when it started to close, he started to run. He even had to lay down on the ground and crawl in once he reached it. It closed just as he was fully inside.
He kept stalking Marie, but on a greater distance this time. There weren't any hiding spots in those tunnels, so he only had the dark to shield him if she turned around. Eventually he noticed that it became brighter at the end of the tunnel and he stayed behind for a bit before going forward into the light, not wanting to be noticed by Marie.
Phillip had been making sure that everything was working perfectly. They didn't want a disaster where the drug bags suddenly ran empty and the magicians suddenly woke up, or that their food bags got empty for too long and they starved to death. Then there was the teen that had died that morning which they had to take care of. It had lasted twelve years. While it wasn't unusual for adults to make it that long, children often died much faster. Five to eight years was usually max for them because of their age.
The news did not make his mood better. Not only had they lost one of their energy sources, Jonathan was also doubting them now. "What?" Phillip glared at her. He definitely thought it was partly her fault, but he hadn't really thought of checking their place for her things either, so Marie wasn't the only one to blame. "There's always something." He almost growled out the words, not sure who to be most angry with at the moment. Himself or Marie. "I can't believe we were so stupid not to check the hut. He was gone for a fucking week damn it." It was unusual for him to swear, but right now it was more than appropriate in his opinion.
Then Marie continued to speak. A smile cracked through his grim expression. "Ohoo, well that's good news. It seems like you made yourself deserved of the role of his friend and teacher after all." Phillip said quite cheerfully. A friend that could pick him up from his depressed state, and a teacher to show him the way of their people. The way to save them all from the corrupt magical society. Jonathan was hearing it all from the distance. He was now hiding behind one of the machines a magician slept in. Though he did not know they were there. He had just gotten used to the light and was leaning his back against it, only listening to their conversation. At first he thought he had misunderstood Marie's words, but when Phillip spoke about going into their hut, and Marie playing a role, he doubted it was some kind of misunderstanding. They were trying to trick him in some way.
"You'll just have to convince him that his suspicions are unfounded. And in the meantime, I will make sure that he won't have any reason to suspect me any longer. He saw the attention I gave the girl during her first week with us, I just have to play the role of a heart broken guy." Phillip told her. It seemed like an easy enough plan. He had only spoken with Jonathan on the day he came back from his search for Leilani. He had no idea what Phillip's mental state of mind on the matter was at the moment. It was just to make sure to bring it up elegantly into a normal conversation. "At least it's good to see that he has started to become a bit energetic now. It shows what a strong person the chosen one is. Just a bit more time and he will understand his purpose and lead us to the surface."
Jonathan could barely believe what he was hearing. The chosen one? Purpose? What were they talking about? Wasn't Nougami their paradise? Why would they want to go back to the normal world where they were discriminated against? Nothing made any sense.
