Talk about it? Talk about what? For one reason or another, she was drawing a blank. She wasn't sure if it was because she felt so tired (once again it seemed like her usual energy was depleted faster then usual) or her terrible memory, but she didn't have a clue to what Jaakuna was talking about. She racked her head nervously, trying to remember. After a moment it hit her, and suddenly she felt slightly uncomfortable. Emiri blinked at him, then turned back to the sky. He seemed sure of himself, but she couldn't say she was right there with him. No, that wasn't right. She did want to be at the same level, but every time she thought about it she would feel a pit in her stomach. What could she say? 'I think I like you but I'm not sure what I feel' or 'I like you not love you and I'm too scared of my ex-fiance popping up and ripping your head off'? Yeah, that pit was back.

Emiri exhaled slightly,running a hand over her hair. She had to say something. But she was afraid. What if she drove him away? What then? She didn't want to hurt him, but she didn't want to say she didn't feel the same. Every time she would think back on their kiss she felt butterflies and all that good stuff. She finally drove herself to look at him, and regretted it instantly. He was staring so intently at her. "[b][color=f6989d]Talk about what?[/color][/b]" She asked, slightly hoping it was something else. She highly doubted it, however.

Were she alone, Reia would have surely broken something. The possibility of said thing being a body part of her little brother would be high. Not only did the sky pirate have the girl who controlled time (no doubt the brunette he spoke of), apparently her dear niece Nadeline was around as well. What in the world was Nadeline thinking? Was she going to bring the girl back? This was becoming more of a headache then anything. Actualy, it was more of an outrage. If that Judge had so much as laid a finger on Nadeline, he would have to answer for it. Though she doubted it...Reia waved the letter away, crossing her arms. She knew she wasn't going to like this one bit.

Reia looked at Lorenzo and Grant, who managed to keep their excellent poker faces, though Lorenzo looked more like an idiot then usual. "[b]Asking me to go to Archades after launching an attack on Rabanastre...a bold move.[/b]" Reia said, raising an eyebrow at Michel. "[b]Though I won't say that you came all this way for nothing.[/b]" The Empress beckoned Grant forward, looking once more at Michel. "[b]Due to the current circumstances, I cannot leave Stigma. Instead I will send Prince Grant in my place. I expect your Emperor to hold him in the same regard that he would if I had gone.[/b]"
