"Keefe?" Dex asked, confused. He shoved a hand through his strawberry blonde hair, which was unruly and messed up, as he rose to let in the tired boy with the still artfully styled hair.

"Yeah, it's me," Keefe replied, flashing his infamous smirk as he stood- and very nearly slipped- into Rimshire.

"Ugh, you elves are so slippy and trippy," Ro grumbled behind them, stomping in. The smooth floor didn't seem to bother her. "I swear, one more time and I'm going to stalk into your glittering capital and shatter each Councillor's palace, one by one." Her smirk grew as she rubbed her hands, enjoying the pleasure of thinking about it.

"As much as I'd love to see that," Keefe inturrupted. "I doubt you'll keep to your word. Anyways, since you didn't reply to my gazillion hails, I decided to come here instead."

"Okayyyyyyyy...?" Dex tried as he led Keefe to the soft grey living room. "Are you here to convince me for more pranks? Jokes on the triplets are welcome, by the way."

"I came because my mom broke out of prison."

"Oh." Dex looked down, ashamed. "I'm sorry."

"That's why I'm here. I need you to get a full read on all the security in Gildingham."

"WHAT? You want me to sneak into the security network of GOBLINS?"

"Yup. Pretty much."

"How many records?"

"The ones between the timeline of my mom entering the prison, and escaping."

"Alright." Dex looked out the window, fidgiting with a bit of scrap metal in his hands. "It'll take me a few days. You sure you don't want me to tell anyone?"

"No one else. Thanks, Dex." Keefe flashed his old smirk as he strode out of the living room, calling "GOOD LUCK!" over his shoulder.

"Luck?" Dex asked to himself, sighing quietly as he ascended to his room. "Yeah. I'm going to need it."
