Levi raised an eyebrow when Kiah said the last part.

"Really." he said.

"That's pretty cool." he told her, before they sat down at the table Kiah was sitting at.

"So yeah, we're here a bit early." he commented, looking around.

"...hardly slept last night, but that was more due to excitement." he then admitted.

"It feels SO good to be moving up in the world, essentially."

Levi accepted the card, widened his eyes a little, and looked at Kiah.

"Seriously?" he asked.

"Seriously." Kiah replied.

Levi then looked to Ally, and shrugged.

"Come on." he told her.

"Let's get some breakfast." he suggested.

The time limit seemed to hit Levi as they got to the counter, but before he could draw attention to it, he shook his head and looked over the menu.

The two of them then ordered, and were told to wait about 5 minutes before their food would be ready.

They made their way back to Kiah, and Levi sighed.

"Need to warm up the food and stuff." he said to her.

"Also... only a half-hour?" he asked.

".....uh... I see." Levi replied.

"Right then." he muttered.

He then sighed, and leaned back a little in his chair, setting the duffle bag he had down by his feet.

"Guess all there is to do now is... wait." he said.

".......I still can't believe this is happening." he then admitted. "Like, I swear this is all some really nice dream at times." he went on.

"But I know it isn't. And that makes it even MORE awesome."

Levi was still stunned as they dismounted the plane, and he and Ally followed Kiah.

"Woah..." he said to his friend.

"I never knew first class was so relaxing and luxurious." he told her. "The legroom, the drinks, the snacks, it was... amazing." he went on.

"Just... holy hell, it was something else." he finished.

Meanwhile, as Kiah scanned the vehicles, she suddenly noticed a familiar male figure standing behind one in the distance, waving both his arms at her.

It was Illias, and it seemed he was getting her attention to show her where he... and her car... were.

Illias shook his head.

"The lab is fine." he assured her.

"Seriously. I'm just here to greet you all." he went on.

"Levi. Ally." he then addressed the other two.

"Name's Illias." he introduced himself. "I'm Kiah's coworker and friend." he continued, pausing for a brief moment, blushing for a split-second, but shaking it off quickly.

"Hey." Levi responded in kind.

When they pulled out of the parking area, Levi looked out the window, and noticed the flame decal at work.

"Woah." he said.

"Pretty sweet job on the flames." he told her.

"Heh." Illias chuckled when he heard that.

"That's Kiah for you." he said. "She doesn't go all out all over, but she DOES go all out in what little she adds to her things." he told him.

"That's a good way to do it." Levi responded.

"It'll just be a bit jarring." Illias replied.

"Yeah... it... sure sounds it." Levi muttered.

"....." Illias was then silent, before sighing quietly and looking at Kiah.

"Kiah, I'm going to give them a little taste of it." he told Kiah.

Levi started to feel very nervous... just as a snake came out from beneath Illias' hair, and looked at the newcomers.

"Helena, behave." Illias said, as a few more snakes investigated them.

"See the one with the diamond-like mark on his nose?" he then asked.

"Yeah.....?" Levi replied quietly.

"That's Desmond. He's a sweetheart." Illias told him. "Feel free to touch him and pet him or whatever." he continued.

"It'll show the others you're okay, too." he added.

Levi was hesitant as well, but extended his hand forward.

The one referred to as Desmond got closer to the hand, darted its tongue out a few times, before it rested its head in the palm of Levi's hand, allowing him to gently stroke it with his thumb.

"...heh." Levi chuckled.

"This... this is kinda cool." he said.

"Like I said, he's a sweetheart." Illias confirmed.
