What Grant wanted to say was 'that woman with the shadows' but the first thing he recalled was her...lack of actual clothing. He raised both his eyebrows, wondering what her and Michel were even doing. Nadeline crossed her arms, remembering her well. "[b]That would be Meli. We met her in Eruyt Village...she is the one that manipulates shadows.[/b]" She informed Jaakuna, Savayna, and Emiri, remembering they had not met her yet. They had encountered her first when the group had split up, so it made sense. For a moment, she wondered if she was even properly dressed.

Emiri thought to herself for a moment. This wasn't good. "[b]What now, then?[/b]"

"[b]They are not the only issue.[/b]" Grant added. "[b]Monsters have risen from the shadows...made of pure darkness.[/b]"

Shion did not respond to Francis, not at first anyway. Instead the woman focused on the food in front of her, letting their eating fill the silence as she thought to herself. He misunderstood her, or perhaps she was just unclear. Once she was finished, she dabbed her mouth with a napkin and then placed it down. "[b]Well, then...if that's your choice, who am I to stop you?[/b]" She asked, downing the rest of her champagne afterwards. Once she finished she placed the glass down, quirking an eyebrow at him. "[b]I don't make promises that I can't keep. I can't guarantee it will be easy, nor do I even know where this road will take me, let alone where you will end up.[/b]"

"[b]Bless you.[/b]" Meli rolled her eyes at Michel. "[b]I just hope I don't catch what you have.[/b]" She looked to the stairs and started heading towards them, pulling Michel along with one hand as her shadow danced on the stairs ahead of them. She looked back at the absolute chaos unfolding in the club, and couldn't help but laugh a little. Poor bastards.
