Io sighed as her idea was shot down. '[color=thistle]Of course it would be too easy to do so...[/color]' She thought to herself. The issue of prisoners or other innocents being swept up in the attack was unfortunately limiting. Not that Io really thought being turned undead was the worst thing that could happen, but she understood the bias that living things had against dying. She understood it all too well.

Io spoke up in agreement with Ayu. "[color=thistle][b]A more surgical approach, then. Understood.[/b][/color]" Io's eyes flashed to the sake as Shizuka proposed a toast, though the rest of the team ignored it. She was mildly curious why it was so popular even amongst the enemy, but that would have to come later. 

Io was lost in thought as the team readied to board the cart. '[color=thistle]Best to prepare for close fighting. Nothing too destructive, lest it draws more attention...[/color]' Io formulated spells on the fly. '[color=thistle]Perhaps something to drain energy for my own sake... Fire and lightning are out... Ice would work. Something to enhance stealth may give us an edge...[/color]'

Her focus seemingly robbing her of awareness of the outside world, she walked right past Skar's offered hand and laid on the cart - doing a perfect imitation of a corpse, were it not for the faintest glimmer of magical glyphs rapidly dancing across her eyes.
