	Yvette narrowed her eyes at Lila, but could not deny her own mistake. The stress must have gotten to her. It was such a simple detail to overlook, and it was foolish to assume that the patrons of the paradise would be able to put two and two together. She sighed and looked to Mira, who also questioned her thought process, while exchanging words with her apparent [i]friend.[/i] Yvette cleared her throat and nodded curtly.

	"Forgive my blunder, my recent trails have put a damper on my logistics. I am Yvette Eridal, a CMAS official. Or I should say, ex-official. I'm sure to have been stripped of my rank and [i]smeared[/i] by the head counsel, at this point," Yvette explained briefly. She glanced at the two girls again and then towards Luke's [i]head office[/i] of sorts that sat against the northern wall of his paradise. "I am here to speak with Luke. My insight on recent events is limited as well, though I could infer by the... [i]Bodies,[/i] that the paradise had fallen under siege prior to my arrival, under the command of Sydney Duvell. Why or how, that's beyond my understanding, which is why I'm off to speak with the Diver heads," Yvette turned away from the girls for a moment and pointed herself in the direction of the Head Diver's quarters, "[i]Posthaste.[/i]" She turned back to the girls and nodded once again. Her expression retained its serious demeanor, devoid of a smile, and ever-guided by her desire for information. She glanced at Mira for a second longer before nodding once more to the both of them. "Might I ask your names before I take my leave, ladies?"

	The surrounding Divers stepped back in amazement, but couldn't believe their eyes. There weren't many Divers well versed in healing magic, let alone [i]alchemy.[/i] It was strange to see somebody dealing with the man's issue with such success. Perhaps even strange enough to rouse suspicion, if this were Arcadia, anyways. One of the women who carried the deathly man rushed over to Oswyn and knelt by the unconscious Diver's side. She turned back to the supposed savior with anxiety welling up in her eyes.

	"Will he really be ok?" She asked, desperately clinging to the unconscious man's hand, "That other man, he was attacked around the same time, and died only a few minutes ago, how can you be so sure?" Two of the other divers nodded to one another and began making their way down the ramp. The woman looked back at them and grit her teeth, but knew it was for the best.

	"We're going to tell Luke about this!" they shouted, waving their friends off. All the while, the unconscious man's body was trying it best to keep itself tied to the world of the living. Unbeknownst to those without Ki detection, his soul had been drained nearly to the point of vanishing. If it weren't of Oswyn's charity, he would have been dead in just a few more minutes.

	The colossal explosion shook the earth for quite a ways, but the visuals were far more telling than the subtle vibrations that stretched for at least a kilometer. For the curiously passerby, and most certainly the trio of cloaked men, it was a literal [i]magnet[/i] for attention. As the dust and smoke erupted beyond the concealment of Zentai's outcropping, The head of the cloaked brigade spun towards it in an instant. Their progress stopped, and within moments, all three of the men were on their way towards Elisa's hiding spot- What was left of it, anyways.

	It didn't take them long to reach the cracked stones and gnarled dirt. The two concealed man proceeded past their supposed leader, who looked at the destruction through a pair of smokey white eyes. His skin was pale, and his hair was white, almost like his [i]very soul[/i] had been forcefully ripped from his body. Despite his watchful gaze however, he could not yet detect Elise through the cascade of smoke and dust. He'd heard the sound of stone against metal, however. Something unnatural was hiding in their. Something [i]man made.[/i] And where there were man-made mechanisms, [i]humans[/i] soon followed.
