Jaakuna was silent. Emiri did not take it well, especially when he announced that they had arrived. She knew now wasn't the time to ask, but she didn't like it that he didn't say anything. Still, she bit her tongue on the subject, so she would not press it--for now. "[b]This discussion is tabled, but not over.[/b]" She informed Jaakuna quietly, looking to the makeshift entrance before them. Once they were in private she would make sure that he told her everything. She didn't even know why it bothered her so much, but for the moment she was going to push all her feelings to the back of her mind. The place was probably crawling with monsters, and the last thing she wanted was to lose focus and get chomped on whatever was down there, especially when they were so close to getting to the Ifrit. Nadeline released Wesley, lightly pushing him and Grant forward. "[b]Showtime, boys, you take the lead.[/b]" She informed them cheerfully, clapping her hands lightly. Grant raised an eyebrow at her, though he did have his gun at the ready. He took out his hand bomb, tossing it to her. "[b]Just in case.[/b]" He said as he began to walk into the Palace. Nadeline looked at the hand bomb curiously, holding it up to inspect it. She had seen one before, but she had yet to actually use it. Emiri rolled her eyes, though she did reach into her boot, sliding her dagger out. She grinned at Nadeline with an 'Told you it would come in handy' look on her face, though she did hold out her other hand. "[b]I believe I have more experience with that then you do. Let me take care of that, you and Jaakuna hang back.[/b]" She said as Nadeline gave her the hand bomb. Her powers were back, the bombs would be better used in her hands. Her dagger also gave her some reassurance, though she figured they were bound to find weapons from the corpses of those who never made it through the palace. An unpleasant thought, that.
