Over the faint music coming from the jukebox, it was impossible for the others not to hear Sunshine's cries. Naturally, they looked over with interest and worry. Leah even stood up, with intent to go over and soothe her now friend.
But Nimo shook her head and gestured for everyone to stay away. While she did that, Warren stepped out of the bar, walkie-talkie in hand. What he intended to do was obvious.
The bartender placed the beers on the table. Sunshine immediately reached for a bottle, gulping three sips greedily.
"Easy." Nimo pulled Sunshine's hand back, taking the beer from her friend. "Maybe tell me what is wrong first before you create a snowstorm inside the base and make Ariel give you another lecture."
Sunshine sniffled. "It's Hades. And White. And the children. And....everything. Everything is wrong Neems and I don't know what to do."
Nimo leaned forward. "Is this about the bear again?"
Sunshine nodded.
Nimo groaned. "Your life is way too dramatic."
