The sudden shock of sensory overlord briefly caused the small witch to stagger. Thankfully, this sensation was not entirely new to her -- she had grown desensitized to being away from her body before jumping back abruptly, so she regained her bearings in a moment.

Not being able to respond immediately to the apparently-not-ogre and the conventionally attractive librarian woman due to the sudden influx of events, Meruin took a deep breath, before walking towards the two of them, keeping her eye on the possibly mentally-challenged young man and the likely to be mentally-challenged woman that set herself on fire, and eventually ended up behind the formerly mentioned two.
