Once the pair had reached Jaakuna's room, Emiri placed her hands on her hips. Perhaps it was her smaller stature, but she didn't feel like she was as intimidating as she wanted to be. "[b]Jaakuna, you're wrong. I do have to take care of myself.[/b]" She stated, picking up where they had left off from the aircab. The conversation was long from over, no it was just starting. "[b]You can't keep throwing yourself in danger every time you think I'm in trouble. I'm going to get hurt whether you want it to happen or not. You can't--[/b]" She stopped, remembering Lola, and she rubbed her arms in an attempt to comfort herself. "[b]You're...You're not always there. Things are going to happen.[/b]" Her voice got lower, but her temper was still there. After taking in a breath, she felt revved up again. "[b]You haven't been completely honest, either, have you?[/b]"

Grant and Nadeline listened to Wesley intently. It was a rather curious thing, but it seemed the Espers were able to sense Zodiark. Nadeline felt slightly concerned that now Wesley was hearing noises. Still, it wasn't Zodiark, which was a good sign. "[b]If we're finished, we should go now.[/b]" Grant told the pair. While he was concerned with the state of things, he didn't know how Savayna's battle was going.

As Francis would compliment her, Shion turned to him. She only offered a shrug as a response. She didn't think it was a big deal, it was how she handled her life in general. "[b]Sometimes all a person needs is a little guidance.[/b]" She told him, shaking her head. "[b]More often then not we find ourselves somewhat lost, somewhat strayed...and so I take it upon myself to properly guide young ones.[/b]" She stepped forward, looking at him. "[b]You should know that either Michel or Meli--most likely Meli--will kill that general. This is your last chance to back out, Wolf.[/b]" She warned him once more. "[b]If you walk away now, I will understand.[/b]"

As Meli moved forward, she noticed Michel had caught up. Well, at the least he hadn't been in trouble, that was a relief. "[b]Masking my aura would mean that I was trying to hide. Who said I was hiding?[/b]" Meli told him, quirking an eyebrow at him. "[b]Either the Ice Bitch leads us to the girl of time or her corpse will draw their attention. Either way it's a win-win, right?[/b]" She informed him rather coldly. That bitch was going down, now that she had her boss' good grace, she would make sure she didn't fail.
