Grant shook his head. He didn't want Jaakuna using it at all. As he was about to tell him such, a few shouts signaled the girls' returns. He silently cursed, though he put that thought to the side, deciding that he didn't have much choice in this. As Jaakuna smiled at them Grant closed his eyes, though opened them as Savayna started talking. Despite his twinge of jealousy he only laughed a little, though he watched as Nadeline dragged Emiri in. She didn't look fatigued or tired, and he found himself wondering if she was maybe hiding it. It seemed they all had something to hide. Nadeline grinned, giggling lightly as she hugged Emiri's arm. "[b]We are going to look fa~bu~lous~[/b]" She cheered, lightly jumping up and down. The brunette shook her head, though her arm was starting to hurt. She managed to escape Nadeline's grip, rubbing her arm lightly. "[b]Now, let's go get ready![/b]" Nadeline announced. "[b]What? Already?[/b]" Emiri asked, confused. ---------- What a drama queen. Not really. Still, she couldn't hide her grin at Levi's dramatics. As she asked how soon she would be in Archades she paused for a moment, thinking. "[b]Tonight.[/b]" Shion replied rather quickly to Levi's question, taking the flower out of her hair. "[b]Because once tomorrow comes around I will be working nonstop.[/b]" She explained, patting her pocket to where the Midlight Shard was. ---------- Roman listened to Francis and let out a small sigh. So it really was that bad, especially if Aloa had returned to Eruyt. Vlyn must have gone back to Rozarria, but now Roman was concerned with the other person that had gone to see them. Perhaps it was someone from Rozarria. If so, then that meant everyone was in the same boat. Question was, what should he do now? He stared at Francis for a moment, thinking intently, though he ended up just shaking his head. "[b]Espers...their very creation was a mistake as it is, and now the one that should have been kept asleep runs amuck. Fantastic.[/b]" He sighed again.
