Nadeline let out a breath she was not aware she was holding. What had happened in that moment could have gone wrong, very wrong. On top of everything that had happened, she would come to regret putting herself in such danger. She had expected a fight, yes, but not in a thousand years would she had even dreamed of the possibility of Emiri wanting to actually kill her. She had managed to stand, somehow, and while she had heard Aloa, she was shaken. Emiri had every intent to murder her right there and then, and if it wasn't for Aloa, she would have become a sheath for Emiri's dagger.

Finally, the silence would snap her out of her reverie. Wesley would break said silence as he walked to her, and she braced herself. The prince was surely going to let her have it for doing something so utterly stupid. Instead, he would pull her to him, embracing her so tightly she was surprised he could still breathe. His words would hurt her so, so much that she actually wished he would have yelled at her instead. She shook her head as much as she could, though she would embrace him back. "[b][color=fdc68a]Forgive me. I was too hasty.[/color][/b]" She would plead him, closing her eyes for a moment.

Aloa would bow as Grant approached him, his displeasure being clear as day. "[b][color=bc8dbf]Highness, you have returned to us as well,[/color][/b]" Aloa greeted him as she would stand.

"[b][color=92278f]I--We are in your debt once more,[/color][/b]" He told her, giving her a slight bow. "[b][color=92278f]Truly, you have my gratitude. Though I must ask, what was it that you did?[/color][/b]"

"[b][color=bc8dbf]The princess' Esper attempted to seal away the darkness, but it would seem your trip has exhausted you all. I merely reinforced and completed the seal, nothing more,[/color][/b]" She told him.

"[b][color=92278f]Then, we have no more worry? Will Emiri act out like that again?[/color][/b]" Grant asked her.

Aloa would look at the door where Vlyn had left through. "[b][color=bc8dbf]Highly unlikely. Though I understand what happened here was unfortunate, the true tragedy was in her heart, it seemed.[/color][/b]" Aloa stated, shaking her head. "[b][color=bc8dbf]Denial. Sorrow. Anger. These emotions borne of despair and suffering...and all of Rozarria has been cloaked in a despair so thick it shakes the very roots of this country. Emiri is not the only one shaken by the day's events.[/color][/b]"

Grant would nod, bowing to her once more as Aloa would take her leave, presumably to tend to Andre as was her original intention. As he looked over at Wesley and Nadeline, finally resting his eyes on Savayna, he felt tired. The day had taken its toll on him, and what had just happened made things worse. He felt like dropping down and sleeping on the ground beneath him, but he would force himself to endure. He wanted to tell them the cause behind Emiri's attack, but right now...right now just wasn't the time or the place. He would walk over to Savayna, taking her hand in his as he would look at Nadeline.

"[b][color=92278f]We hold out for tomorrow.[/color][/b]" He informed the pair.

[hr]

Vlyn would lead Jaakuna to one of the many guest rooms. Once he would place Emiri down on the bed, he would give Jaakuna his full attention. "[b][color=a187be]I'll leave you two alone--she'll awaken very soon.[/color][/b]" He informed him, giving him a wink as he would take his leave.

As if on cue, Emiri would stir for a moment, letting out a groan as she would open her eyes. Her surroundings were completely unfamiliar, though before she would panic, she would see Jaakuna. She tried to sit up, but it was as if every bit of energy had been sucked out of her. She would opt to remain laying down, though she would turn her head to him. "[b][color=f6989d]Jaakuna...I...[/color][/b]" She began, though she would fall silent.
