Illedrith breathed a deep sigh of relief and resheathed her halberd as Vega walked away from the fight. Most of her mirrors had been consumed by his blast of negative energy, either from blocking for people, or from moving in front of some of the rifts to keep them unscathed. With no further need for them, the mirrors shone brightly as they released their stored power and then shattered into floating motes of light which filled the courtyard briefly. Hearing Rei apologize, she turned to him.

[color=fff79a]"No need to apologize, this was out of all of our control, it was just good that nobody got hurt and that nothing was damaged. Hopefully your guildmaster will take a formally lodged complaint to heart and do something about it himself in future, rather than leaving it to you."[/color]

It was then that she felt a light tug on her sleeve, signalling the return of her favorite soon-to-be-couple. Illedrith smiled at Ceri as she earnestly worried about her big sister.

Enough of that unpleasant business though, how was your foray? Find anything good to eat? I hear there's a decent cafe nearby if you're hungry?"[/color] Looking over her shoulder, she addressed the two S-classes: [color=fff79a]"You're welcome to tag along if you've got nothing better to do. I'd say we all need a good round of drinks after that..."[/color]
