[quote=@Eklispe] Nolan's brow furrowed in response to the king's words. They had all come from the same place? Then someone else must have vanished from that field trip, he turned to examine the black-suited women more closely, it was clear now. The year spent in this world had changed her but now he could see that if she came from the same place as him she must be Robyn Silverman, the super-smart girl who was always reading. And the only girl he had a crush on but was to embarrassed to ask on a date. Loden hissed angrily, [color=red]"This is no time for your wasteful emotions to occur!"[/color] Nolan colored slightly but it quickly went away and he hissed back "Shut up, this is no time for your spiteful and suspicious words either," Nolan sensed a sulky silence from Loden but refused to say anything else, luckily as far as he knew no one could hear Loden but him. Although he was positive that the women was Robyn he still had to make sure so he asked her, "Would you perhaps be Robyn Silvermna?" he asked somewhat nervously. He wasn't sure whether he wanted the answer to be yes or no and he didn't know how he would respond anyway.

Aren't you 'Captain Nolan'? Star of the football team, the guy who used to bully me a lot when we were younger?" She says this quite spitefully and rolls her eyes. "But I guess that we're different now, huh?" She reaches back to touch her katanas. The Heroic Objects pulses and thrums, embracing her touch. It warms her fingers slightly. [color=blue]This is a man you fear?[/color] Yūkan'na says spitefully. [color=blue]He is but a mere punk kid from your former days. You are better than he is. Stronger, faster, braver.[/color] Yūkan'na's voice purrs to her. She squeezes her eyes shut as familiar feelings from him rush up into her head as well and she blinks slowly, looking back at Nolan. She grins tightly. "It's nice to see at least one person from home." She turns her cold eyes to Nathan. "I don't believe I recognize you..."
