Nadeline listened to Wesley and Savayna as she kept her eyes on her book. It was a dreadfult hing to admit defeat, but Savayna was right. Zeromus could have been excused, in a sense--they had to give it up in order to have been able to flee from Grant and save Jaakuna. It was a three way power struggle between themselves, Rozarria, and Archadia, and for the moment, they were winning, in a sense. Still, in terms of power, Archadia clearly had the upper hand, especially with their judges. Rozarria was more passive in their power, but she did not doubt that Aloa and Vlyn would be searching for Emiri, as the Espers were second place to her--whoever had Emiri had the key to unlocking the Espers' seals, after all. They had two, Rozarria had one, and Archadia had one...thanks to Savayna joining them. She looked at the book intensely, as if expecting it to give her the answers she wanted. As if on cue, she recognized one word: Mosphoran. Could that be referring to the Mosphoran Highwaste? She widened her eyes, but shook her head. No, she would not make a mistake again, she would translate the entire text to be absolutely sure.

"[b]We almost lost Jaakuna to the Dawn Shard.[/b]" Nadeline spoke in response to Savayna. "[b]Which also brings the issue of the Dusk Shard, as well as the Midlight Shard. The Sword of Kings...perhaps there is a way to properly utilize it. I would think that perhaps we could find our answer in Mt. Bur Omisace, as the Sword of Kings was originally given to the Gran Kiltas.[/b]" She paused. "[b]I wonder which should be taken care of first...the Dusk Shard or the next Esper...[/b]"

Emiri was happy Jaakuna had agreed with her. It was always better to be safe then sorry. She began to pick up her hair when Jaakuna asked who wanted to shower first. As she thought about it, she noticed he had trailed off. She looked at him properly, following is gaze. Was he suggesting what she thought he was suggesting? She definitely recognized that sexy (did she really just think that?) suggestive smile of his, and she felt her cheeks flush lightly at it. She let out a small giggle as she finished tying her hair, flipping her ponytail off of her shoulder. A shower together could be nice.

"[b]Mmm, I wouldn't want to get interrupted again.[/b]" She mused lightly, testing Jaakuna's reaction.
