[color=fff79a]"Ah! Thank you."[/color] Lena said in reply to Okami handing her sword back. [color=fff79a]"It's kind of important. I was afraid I lost it for good, hehe. Glad I didn't accidentally hurt anyone."[/color] She sheathed it, sighing quietly in relief.

[color=a187be]"It's a bit more important...since you know, Catalyst."[/color] Tania yawned with a stretch. Lena didn't respond to the fairy, instead the elf shook her head and ignored her for now. She didn't particularly want to give Tania the cold shoulder, but when she ignored her the fairy tended to behave herself a bit better.

[color=fff79a]"That sounds lovely, actually!"[/color] Lena replied, perhaps sounding a bit overly enthusiastic. She wasn't one for taverns or drinking really, but well...she had never actually 'hung out' with anyone aside from Saria or the funny old dwarf, Nusgrout. Before she could say anything else though, Okami was distracted by Lupa and hurried off towards the portal. 

Something didn't seem quite right.

[color=fff79a]"H-hey, wait up!"[/color] Before Tania could object, Lena fused with the spirit, hurrying after Okami and Lupa towards the podium and the portal. With the aid of Tania, she was mostly easily able to keep up - or at least match Okami's pace. When she arrived...the sight she saw, appalled the elf. Summoners, openly [i]abusing[/i] their spirits for no reason other than to seemingly assert 'dominance'. Unlike Okami though, Lena was a bit less...chaotic in her actions. It wasn't out of being composed, though it might seem that way.

She walked up onto the stage behind Okami and anyone that tried to stop her was roughly pushed aside or ignored. Lena wasn't particularly fond of violence, but this...? This wasn't right. Soon, she was standing next to Okami, and despite the Elf's calm looking exterior she was anything but. A small knot formed in the pit of her stomach. She was incredibly nervous, and anxiety started to slowly form. She was going to do something that would likely make her the immediate center of attention...and probably put her on this guys bad list. She didn't want either of those things really, and putting herself out there like that was a little more than scary.

But she would feel even worse if she stood idly by at watched this happen.

[color=fff79a]"O-okami...I think we should give Samuel the benefit of the doubt for now."[/color] She began hesitantly, giving the older man a smile. As he began to speak, the elf shot a glare towards the noble and in one swift motion had drawn her sword and pointed the end of the blade at him before he had even finished speaking. For a few seconds, the elf couldn't bring herself to speak, words were caught in her throat. She wasn't used to situations like this, and as much as she wanted to help, words wouldn't come. She took a deep breath, attempting to calm her nerves before forcing whatever words she could out at the noble.

[color=fff79a]"I-I am unaware of of you or your house,"[/color] She began as firmly as she could. [color=fff79a]"However...I do know that this is not right nor good behavior. You will cease this abuse, or I will be forced to act."[/color] Despite trying her best, her voice wavered in quite a few points, making for the threat to likely be quite unintimidating regardless.
