Kindness?! What kind of sick joke was that?! Emette struggled for a moment, though she let out a gasp as they launched their attack at Aloa. The viera closed her eyes, and as she stepped forward, it looked like the mist around her foot had been propelled back. As she opened her eyes, she whipped out her arm rather dramatically, her claws extending themselves. She seemed to grab the tendrils, a wave of magicks taking over them as she made contact. It happened very quickly, but it was as if she had frozen them in place, and she would crush them with her claws. The ones that survived continued their path, having Aloa leap upwards to avoid them, though she would go spiraling down, a whirlwind of magicks exploding as she landed. Shit, there really was no surprising the viera, was there? Emette was rather surprised, though as she watched, she couldn't help but notice something very wrong. She winced, feeling whatever was grabbing her to be slowly draining her own mist. Great. "[color=mistyrose]No need to worry about me, I'll get myself out, I suppose![/color]" She called out to Aloa, though she seemed to be ignoring her as she would charge towards the Collective. Sheesh, talk about rude. Taking in a deep breath, Emette concentrated, though as she did, she felt the darkness start to vertebrate, and she ended up looking down to see another viera concentrating his magicks on the magicks binding her. Vlyn grinned, giving her a wink. "[color=thistle]You look like you could use a hand![/color]" "[color=mistyrose]You're real proud of yourself for that pun, aren't you?![/color]" "[color=thistle]Little effort, big payoff, now stop struggling, you're making it worse,[/color]" He informed her. "[color=mistyrose]Oh yes, I'll lay perfectly still as it slowly drains away my life, seeing as how Aloa is ignoring me and I'm in your not-so-capable hands,[/color]" Emette said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
