Chloe was cut off in her stride by the sound of an unpleasantly familiar voice, causing her to slowly turn head toward the source with a momentarily tense look on her face. Her two admirers from yesterday had arrived. The dark mage and the monkey. The fact that Nex had taken her face was also more than a little disconcerting. Though she laughed at the sight her brow suggested a distinct lack of amusement.[b] “Hehe, yeah, that's not creepy at all,”[/b] Chloe said more to herself than to Nex.

The women called Cassie made her own entrance a moment later. She had an aura of natural confidence around her that made her presence known. But it was the object on her back that was making Chloe more than a little inwardly nervous. A cannon. It was not the technology itself per see that bothered her but it kind of suggested a specific preference toward blowing things up. And fire. Chloe felt a nervous tinge in her stomach that made her keep her distance. Which was why the arrival of Dante came as something of a relief.

Chloe turned to face him and waved in greeting with a radiant smile on her face. [b]“Dante. Oh, what's that you have there?”[/b] she asked rhetorically as she leaned in toward the gun that he was holding, his enthusiasm almost blinding compared to the lacklustre enthusiasm that she showed toward her own craft. [b]“F-fire huh? That's...amazing, really,”[/b] Chloe said with a slightly nervous laugh as she stood up and backed off just a little.
