"Hime-sama!" Dammit! She'd failed to keep these wretches snakes from the young lady. She'd been tempted to cut the shadowy lump even as it devoured her, though she hesitated for fear that she might harm the Princess in the process. Disregarding such fears, she cut through the mass, but too late. She was already... gone? She doubted her sword would cut such an innocent girl, but she'd have to investigate that later. She slices through the shadows as they lounge for her, taking up Yuki's unarmed flank. "Leave this side to me. Though, these things aren't terribly threatening, are they...?" She breaks the shadows as they lounge for her and the powerhouse behind her, though she's dissatisfied with the conflict.

"Fighting here is meaningless. We have to find where the Princess has been taken. Anyone got ideas? Wait... they're retreating."
