What, what, what, WHAT!??

The balefire bomb is here!?  How did it get here?  How did Xenith get past all the hellhounds?  I knew she was sneaky, but that was beyond the pale!  How could I have asked her to take that risk?  And I was supposed to get out of range on the damn pedal-machine?  That’s insane!  What was I doing standing here?  Why the hell would I have gone into this place?  Why would I have…

Even as I panicked, the pieces of my plan fell into place.

Of course I had needed to be unnaturally persuasive.  What could have been more difficult, more worthy of resorting to Party-Time Mint-als, than talking Red Eye into giving me the bomb?  No wonder he started pulling out after that.  He was taking the bomb to the camp.  Tenpony Tower hadn’t been under a megaspell threat in over a week!  I’d made Homage safe before I’d even left.
