Oh no, there was something going on here. The princess glared daggers into Grant, who made it a point not to look her in the eye. The worst part was that Wesley was in on it--him, Grant, [i]and[/i] Jaakuna. The feni was not a problem, but she had no idea what it could be. Why in the world would Jaakuna go from wanting to go to suddenly saddling down at Grant's request? Not only that, but Wesley was in agreement. She had to wonder if Emiri had anything to do with it, but the brunette seemed just as surprised as she was. Something was going on here and by the gods she was going to find out what. After being unable to crack Grant, her piercing look turned to Wesley. Emiri had to admit she was somewhat surprised by Jaakuna's lack of argument. She had to agree with Grant on Jaakuna staying, but why did she have to stay, too? She looked at Jaakuna as he took her hand. "[b]But...[/b]" She started, clearly not happy with having to stay behind. After a moment of looking at Jaakuna, however, she knew he was serious. Only reluctantly did she slowly nod, agreeing with him. "[b]Okay.[/b]" She said, somewhat crestfallen. "[b]Well then, that's settled.[/b]" Nadeline stated, her tone a little loud. She may as well have said: I know you guys are hiding something and once Jaakuna and Emiri are out of earshot I will interrogate you until you spill. Grant slouched slightly in his seat, trying not to look guilty ------------------- Shion watched Francis leave, and let out a huff of indigence. She swore if Lola or Meli were behind this she would personally go and kick both their asses. She picked at her food, impatiently waiting for his return, and after a couple of minutes he returned, clearly irritated. He would inform her that Shadow Hounds were attacking a club nearby. She nodded slowly, though she just offered a shrug. It looked like she stopped caring. After a while, though, she figured he may have wanted to see how things were. "[b]Do you...want to make sure things are alright?[/b]" She asked him. -------------------. Meli couldn't help but smirk slightly. For an ice wielder Savayna was a hot head for sure. She recalled the frozen shadows, letting them melt into the ground and they gathered around her. She shivered slightly, Savayna's magic was strong and of course cold. She clucked her tongue, slowly clapping rather mockingly for her opponent. "[b]Not bad, not bad, looks like you're not just a pretty face![/b]" She told her as she clapped.
