Wilder widened her eyes with surprise and delight. Of all the jobs the Collector could have given her, this was definitely the best! It was the opportunity to make a ton more friends! She didn't know any of those people were so it would be a lot of fun running around and meeting some new friends!

She was so excited that she barely even reacted to the word 'Spire'. Besides, she was far enough away now that its magical influence did not mess with her head. "That sounds like a lot of fun!" As soon as the Collector whipped out the parchment, she didn't hesitate to press her paw against the paper. Once her agreement was sealed, she jumped back, spun around for a moment and then shot off farther into Canis to go find Astaroth, and maybe all the others! More friends and more adventures! And she was completely ignorant to any of the suspiciousness of the Collector's behavior.

Perfect.

The pawprint sizzled and darkened to black as the kitten bounded away, and the Collector lifted it to examine it. Then he tucked it into his cloak, eyes lifting to search the cave for Wilder--but she was gone.

...Perfect.

These Gembound were proving so fruitful to work with. So eager, and so willing! Silent, the figure turned, moving off into Canis; his hand extended from his robe, two fingers snapped, and the black bowl he'd left behind vanished--as, a moment later, did he.
