Blood,"[/color] she replied to Kaeru, her tone one of disappointment rather than surprise or horror. She watched Kaida's purification ceremony out of the corner of her eye, her head on a swivel, not really sure if she should be doing that in the event that someone decided it was evidence. Well, she didn't really care one way or the other. Not today, not with a Devil on the loose.

It's probably not our target—but we investigate together or not at all."[/color] She turned her head to regard the others, then snapped her head back to Kaida as she caught her moving forward on her own. [color=orchid]"What are you—wait!"[/color] she barked in a hushed whisper, following after her, shadow arm at the ready. [color=orchid]"You got a deathwish?!"[/color] she whispered frantically. Something was [i]definitely[/i] off with her. Gone was the smooth confidence of their previous mission. Though it didn't show on her face at all, she seemed almost afraid. She was still doing what needed to be done, but it seemed less natural somehow.
