*Xan nods simply*
Xan: Thank... you... Yes. It is good to be free again. I am happier now.
*She looks almost fearful*
Xan: He is... The Twisted Shaman. Tiaz, the Tigerlord. 
*She sighs*
Xan: Bad. Much evil in heart. Stay away from at all costs. He beat you, then take you for his own. He slaver. Bad business. Not right.
*She nods, eyes back to dark brown. She tucks her dark hair behind one ear then limps over to the counter, still using a chair as a makeshift walker.*
Xan: I... help? Clean yes? I do before. Ma- Tiaz, have many plates. Son always eating so we clean lots.
*She helps Jillian clean up, then goes and sits on the sofa, going to sleep shortly afterwards*

*Halia screams in fright as she's both defenseless and unable to flee, then allows herself to be transported wherever*
*Mergoux is groaning in pain as a few broken ribs grate around inside her. She's curled up into a small ball and really can't do much to fight back, but before she blacks out, she turns her bag over, whispers a word and a dozen or so white metal spheres drop out*
Mergoux: Blinders...
*She passes out from pain and injury, leaving what are essentially flashbangs on the ground*
