Pip and Elle landed gently on the resin floor in front of Lohan, their tiny figures glowing with a mixture of relief and deep melancholy.
Lohan, still in his crystalline spherical form after the battle, noticed that Pip's wings, now resembling sharp glass blades, were vibrating at a different rhythm than when they first met.
"Elle and Pip are immensely grateful to the saviors," Elle began, bowing her head as her wings of withered petals fluttered slowly. "Elle hopes she hasn't offended the saviors by invading your tree…"
Pip did the same, also bowing and keeping his head down, acting ashamed for having invaded their tree.
Lohan and Lisa looked at them with interest, not the least bit offended by the 'invasion' when they clearly saw that these two little ones were protecting their base from those worms, who were the real invaders.
