[color=bc8dbf]"...e-eh?"[/color] ...was the only thing the girl could muster after everything that was exchanged.

Mai took a half-step back. Although she was able to follow what they were saying, the suddenness of it all is... scaring her. Just a few minutes ago, she was just worrying about if her commander was going to scold her about something mundane. And now, she's suddenly an important figure in a battle of Light and Darkness due to her Keyblade being able to locate Ascot's Heartless. 

And one question was raising its flag over everything else.

[color=bc8dbf][i]"...Why me?"[/i][/color]

After a few moments of silence, she gave herself a strong slap on the cheek. Mai flinched a bit at the impact, but she regained her composure and slowly cleared her thoughts. [color=bc8dbf][i]"It's better than nobody being able to do it."[/i][/color] Was what she told herself. At the very least, there was somebody who actually could do what they needed. And that somebody was her. The girl wasn't comfortable being a centerpiece of it all, but someone has to do it, and she'll do what she can until she is no longer needed.

She shifted her train of thought towards something else. [color=bc8dbf]"So our goal is... to find Ascot's Heartless? And then what? Turn him back into human and hope everything will be OK?"[/color] She had so many questions running through her head, but she thought this would at least be able to calm her mind down for the moment.

[@Letter Bee] No problem with the Keyblade thing. I couldn't decide on one, so I don't mind you choosing one for me.
