Grant didn't appreciate Vincent's actions, though admitted inwardly that he was rather surprised; he thought he would execute him right then and there. It would seem that Vincent had desired for Grant to be his prisoner--that was a first. What did he have to gain from that? He could already hear Reia yelling at him for being an idiot and telling him that she wasn't going to rescue him. He could also hear Lorenzo's irritating voice chiding him that he was an idiot for going back to Archadia. He couldn't hide his suspicious face, what was Vincent planning? He couldn't read him, nor could he hide his urge to wipe that smug look off his face. Still, he was in quite the predicament; no way he was getting himself out of this one easily. "[b]What are you planning exactly?[/b]" Grant asked, though he was pretty sure it was a futile attempt: he highly doubted he would get an answer. --------- Nadeline couldn't help but giggle at the two. They were certainly two peas in a pod, that much was for sure. For one reason or another, she then looked at the empty seat next to hers, where Emiri would usually sit. It was weird, she actually missed her already. No, that wasn't right. She had missed her since she had run away. The day that they had met one another in Bujerba, she was actually so happy. But her worry had outweighed that happiness, and rather then a happy reunion, they ended up arguing. She wondered if Emiri had missed her, too. She understood why, but she wished she had let her know--surely together they could have fixed the situation. Maybe she could have even told her father to tell Grant to be nicer. She let out a small sigh, and went back to her book. --------- She highly doubted that was the end of that conversation and knew Savayna would slip up and call her the nickname again. For now she would drop it, as it simply was not important. They had to get going to find the Esper, and that was that. Her thoughts were cut off as they encountered a group of monsters larger then the usual. As Savayna went in for the attack, Emiri held out her hand, intending to cast a Haste spell, only remembering that her magic wasn't working at the last second. To her surprise, however, the spell went off without a hitch, and her movements had been sped up. Her eyes widened considerably, though she took action. One by one, she aimed for each Viper, each arrow piercing through its skin, each one a one hit kill. As she finished, her spell wore off, and it was then the Blizzaga went off. To her shock, it simply left a bloody mess of the monsters' remains. It was somewhat unsettling, in all honesty. Sure, as a hunter she was used to killing monsters and slaying whatever was in her way. But the way Savayna had don it was...brutal, to say the least. She couldn't complain, the job was done, and so she did not comment as they were done. She kept walking, as she sensed the Esper's presence was close. As she walked past a shrine, it activated, water and wind flowing through it. Emiri jumped back, alarmed, though she noticed a green light illuminating a path. It must have led to the Esper. "[b]The path is shown, I suppose all we can do now is follow it.[/b]" She said to Savayna, walking along it.
