[color=7ea7d8][h3][center]~Cynthia~[/center][/h3][/color] [@Crusader Lord][@VitaVitaAR][@PKMNB0Y] [hr] The distraction wouldn't have worked as well as she would have liked on Phi and Rho. The mechanical mouse was an oddity to be certain, and did distract them for a moment - however, it was difficult to trick robots specifically built for scanning analyzing, and information gathering. The flat, oval machines beeped in communication with each other, both quickly deciding this was an act of their quarry to produce some sort of distraction to throw them off. As the smoke began to fill the doorway, Phi zipped upwards, returning to Cynthia. [color=7ea7d8]"Front door?"[/color] It didn't take the small robot long to reach the Automata, though it was definitely long enough for the thief to bolt from the premises. [color=7ea7d8]"Roger roger!~ Come on Phi!"[/color] Her body was enveloped in magic once again, becoming incredibly light as she lifted off the ground, bolting into the sky and continuing to pursue the thief, Rho joining them along the way after continuing to track their target - who was going right towards a group of people. A series of frantic beeps from Rho caught the Automata's attention. [color=7ea7d8]"E-eh? Princess? Pfft, what would a princess be doing out here. Besides, she looks nothing like a princess."[/color] Now that they looked though, they [i]did[/i] look familiar, but she couldn't place it. She couldn't really be the princess, could she? No, that was just silly. Why would a princess be here, of all places? It seemed she got her answer soon enough, however. One of the people in the group confronted the alv, doing something she had never quite seen before. A number of knives had been thrown, only to be halted in their flight paths. High level magic of some sort? He was certainly a skilled mage then. They didn't appear to be allies of the theif's though...so did that make them her allies instead? She began to slow her speed at Phi's urging, stopping her flight entirely before landing on the ground at a running pace, quickly coming to the group as the thief claimed she was being pursued by a crazy Automata. R-rude! [color=7ea7d8]"H-hey, I'm not crazy."[/color] She pouted, poking her lip out a bit as Rho chimed in with a few beeps as he floated next to her head. [color=7ea7d8]"I'm just over-exuberant and you're the bad-"[/color] Of course, whatever she was going to as the princess introduced herself, finally registering what she said. [color=7ea7d8]"A-ah! You are the princess!"[/color] Cynthia pointed at the girl in a shocked manner. Phi beeped a few low sounds. [color=7ea7d8]"N-no Phi, I wouldn't believe anyone who just walked up and told me they were a princess! A-anyways!"[/color] She turned back to Vashti. [color=7ea7d8]"Hey hey, thief just stop running alright?"[/color]
