Sasha frowned at Trinity's words. "It could just be a coincidence. I don't know everything about Edolas. Penny knows m ore. She likes history, and she knew that Bonnie was an exceed." She wanted to man, and shifted, looking to her sister, and worn out guild mates. 

She could still fight for them. She would always fight for them. She looked back to the strange man and said, without a quiver in her voice, and very heart felt, "I would die for them. Thats the difference between a dark guild, and a light guild. Our family, our connection. We would die for each other. Most dark guild members I've come across wouldn't" 

She shifted one foot back, the other forward, and raised her hands. "If you seek to hurt any of my guild, or even make a move to, I will stop you" Now she really wished she had passed the book off to someone else, "They gave me hope when I had none. They welcomed me with open arms. They gave me what I need. Master Jamie cares, to the point where he hurts himself physically to even save one of us" She thought of the hours she had seem Master Jamie at research the last few weeks, only eating when Jarvis forced her to. "If the least I can do is lay down my life for them, then I will. without a seconds thought"

Jamie just let Phones go on. It seemed for the best, but be stalked over when Phones sat by a tree and said, "You forget that Jarvis has access to the lacrima's that Penny had. He saw just about everything. You were going to harm someone who was already down. Penny just reacted. And then when Spencer struggled back up, to attack you, yes, that's right, none of you saw that did you, she got in first. You speak of trust, well, if there was no trust, you wouldn't be here. You would be most likely harmed fatially because you pranked the wrong wizard. We don't know your abilities. We ony know that you can destroy walls, so if one of us says "Good job" They mean it, because its a confirmation of your skills."

A brief silence, as Jamie looked back to the council building. "Every single one of those members, with the phoenix mark, aimed to prevent injury to each other, and yes, to you. not because they don't believe in your skills, but because that's what this guild does. They care. You want freedom? You have that here, but you are too busy being a whiney, snot nosed, brat that you can't see that. You think all we want to do is tie you down, because that's all you want to see. The minute anyone gets that Mark on them, they're mine. Even if I don't know their name, they are mine. So, too bad, You're marked. Your mine, your the guilds. You can't run from that, kid. No matter how much you try not to be, You're Phoenix Wing now. Its you yourself that is making you a frog in a well. You'll return when you see that" 

And Jamie shoved his hands in her pockets, and walked back to the council building. "I have to go see to Masahiko and Damian now. If I know Masahiko, he'd already be thinking of the future"
