Kitty's shoulders sagged with defeat.

"... You [i]jerk[/i]," she spat, a remarkably tame insult spoken in the most biting way possible, as she simply stood there and waited for Ryuuko to stop threatening to cut her head off in the wake of her surrender.

Bunny, too, slumped and let out a sigh.

"... Just... let her go and we'll talk, okay?" the black-haired onmyouji began, "Please don't hurt her."

Toshiko folded her arms. It seemed as if Ryuuko's tactics had worked out, certainly... and perhaps that the two girls weren't entirely committed to this theft. There were several ways Toshiko could see displacement being utilized in this scenario, and yet the thieves had decided to cut their losses and surrender rather then keep fighting.
